RE: Why is this not spiking?4 Mar 2024 16:09
Just noticed MSTR is up 20% today. Before the recent listing of BTC ETFs in the US, MSTR traded at a premium to its BTC holdings, which could be justified to some degree as it was the go to proxy for US equity market exposure to BTC.
Following the listing of the ETFs, which are highly liquid and closely track the value of their BTC holding, there is no longer a case for MSTR to trade at much if any premium at all. However, MSTR has gone vertical since the ETF listings and is now at a whopping 43% premium. I have plenty of exposure through DAGB, but honestly, it's seems ridiculous. Can investors not do even the simplest of valuations? They'd get far more bang for their buck buying one of the ETFs, never mind a crypto baskets at a deep discount like KR1. But, who cares. The're piling in regardless.
There seems to be switching from other crypto related companies, particularly miners, to MSTR, which is stifling their progress. My guess is Saylor is about to do a huge placing at MSTR into this rise and will use the proceeds to buy loads more BTC, which should turbo charge the bull market, so the current outpeformance of MSTR may be a blessing in disguise for the whole sector.
Anyone have a different take on MSTR, that might explain what is going on?
