Right...I think at this point Mr Market is treating MSaylor as a some kind of savant...who may or may not turn out to be right...years down the road.
He bought at 81K, price is at 76.5 K...an almost constant 5% trading discount gained by some players off of his purchases.
In a long run, this might not matter, but it is a sad state of affairs, perhaps.
MS needs an AI help in trading, pronto.
He is literally proving buying the dip is not necessary, but being in the market is.
He has a publicly traded stock (MSTR).
From a POV of the stockholders (which as a public company officer, he is supposed to be in tune with), MSTR is losing 8.3% today vs bitcoin daily wiggle of 2.7%.
Therefore, his untimely buy is currently causing MSTR shareholders an extra 5.5%, give or take.
Sure, it will wiggle back, no prob, but...man, some of his pension fund backers might not be too pleased and as a holder of MSTR, I am not clapping either.
Another day and the news gets worse for Strategy. This is nothing new. Just from this one purchase alone they have already lost over 100 million dollars and have to now pay 230 million dollars more a year in dividends. Their total annual dividend payouts are now more than 1.7 billion dollars per year. That means Strategy is already committing to selling more than 130 million dollars worth of Bitcoin per month just to pay dividends and that number is increasing weekly.
