Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) spent 2025 building the largest corporate Bitcoin reserve the public markets have ever financed, but the scale of that ambition ended up colliding with the logic of its own stock.

Despite a steep drop in its share price, Strategy’s Bitcoin stack is in the green and it continues to outperform top tech equities over time. Update Nov. 24, 1:20 pm UTC: This article has been updated to add comments from Kyle Rodda, senior market analyst at Capital.com. Bitcoin investor Strategy is facing a rough stretch this year, prompting speculation that its high-conviction Bitcoin play is coming undone. A look beyond the one-year chart tells a different story.

The stock traded near $300 in October, before dropping to about $170 at the time of writing. Read more

JP Morgan shared the MSCI news in a research note. “I just pulled $20 million from Chase and suing them for credit card malfeasance,” real estate investor and Bitcoin advocate Grant Cardone said in response to a call to boycott the financial services giant.

Strategy remains poised for an S&P 500 inclusion in 2025, as the world’s largest Bitcoin holder is unlikely to have to liquidate its holdings to service its debt. The recent crypto market correction has reignited questions about the durability of corporate Bitcoin treasury plays, but Matrixport researchers say the largest of them, Strategy, still appears on track for possible S&P 500 inclusion. Despite recurring doubts about whether Strategy’s business model can withstand deep drawdowns, analysts argue that a forced, large-scale liquidation by the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder is not a “near-term risk,” according to a Wednesday research report by Matrixport. Instead, the real pressure from the recent correction is on the stockholders who bought the stock at an inflated net asset value (NAV), who are currently suffering the impact of the company’s NAV compression.

S&P Global Ratings said Strategy’s high Bitcoin concentration and low US dollar liquidity, among other factors, are weaknesses for the firm. S&P Global Ratings has given Michael Saylor’s Strategy a “B-” credit rating, placing it in the speculative, non-investment-grade territory — often referred to as a “junk bond” — although it said the Bitcoin treasury company’s outlook remains stable. “We view Strategy’s high bitcoin concentration, narrow business focus, weak risk-adjusted capitalization, and low US dollar liquidity as weaknesses,” the credit rating platform said in a review of Strategy on Monday. Strategy has accumulated its 640,808 BTC treasury mainly via equity and debt financing. The stable outlook assumes the company will prudently manage convertible debt maturities and maintain preferred stock dividends, potentially through additional debt issuance, it said. Read more
