MicroStrategy Slides 46% From November Peak as Bitcoin Funding Strategy Draws Skepticism

MicroStrategy’s stock has dropped below $300, a 46% decline from its November peak, amid mounting questions over the company’s plan to raise billions for additional Bitcoin acquisitions.

While MSTR is still up 342% this year – buoyed by Bitcoin’s 121% rise – it has steadily fallen from an intraday high of $543 on November 21.

Despite recently adding 2,138 BTC to its treasury for a total of 446,400 BTC and securing a spot in the Nasdaq 100, MicroStrategy faces uncertainty around its “21/21” strategy, which involves raising $42 billion through a mix of equity and fixed-income offerings.

The firm also proposed expanding its Class A common shares by $10 billion and preferred shares by $1 billion, sparking concerns over potential shareholder dilution.
