We’ve all seen how Michael Saylor famously crashed MicroStrategy ($MSTR) back in the dot-com era thanks to wild financial engineering and aggressive bets.

    With how things are being played out with $MSTR now, is it really possible for Saylor to single-handedly crash his stock once more time like the old days?

    Is Saylor about to crash MSTR again or is it different this time because of Bitcoin?

      Different this time because of Bitcoin. Expect major volatility though, stock will get crushed multiple times and recover with bitcoins help

    2. He got a call from the Bogs! The order is to crash MSTR and the crypto market with no survivors!

      Maybe he’s trying to crash it into an iceberg so it sinks like the titanic….like the meme he posted the other day where he was alone on the life raft and everyone else was going to die.

      I still don’t understand how microstrategy even makes money purely off buying BTC. Like, he plans to just buy up all the BTC ever minted and then he’s like “we own every sat ever made, we win the stock market”.

      Like what the fuck is the strategy here?

      MSTR is taking money from retail to provide liquidity to the billionaires offloading their bitcoins without crashing the market once all is said and done saylor will move on to his next shtick with his billions

      Pretty much close to zero since the money he raised to buy bitcoin was equity from MSTRs market cap and his preferred stocks. The only wrench is his convertible note offerings which from what I know can be renegotiated with better terms.

      Worst case scenario bitcoin drops so hard that he loses credibility with his preferred shares when he can’t pay them the dividends. The stock would drop hard if bitcoin were to go under a recession like crash but they would still be solvent.

      MSTR isn’t a company anymore bro, it’s just Saylor’s 3x BTC position with paperwork attached.

      Well if he did not swap his shares into derivatives for cash, he might crash his stock shorting and then buy the dip. 

      And…what can we do here?
      1) short at current price?
      2) or buy the dip at $100, $50? 

    9. Do they sell covered calls on it? I specifically bought a bunch of MSTR just to sell CCs for income. Made my mortgage “free” every month. I turn around and put the same dollar value in QQQM and VXUS.

      Yeah MSTR has crashed, but my cost basis now is effectively in the low $100s, so *shrug*

      I’d prefer the rest of the market to not crash, I just want MSTR to go to 0, but I will suffer through it if I must.
