MSTR is a $3.8B company that provides analytics software services, and has mostly maintained its revenue levels over the years. It has been decently profitable over the years, and exhibited decent share price appreciation from post-dot com to ~2020. During 2020, the CEO implemented a 'bitcoin strategy' whereby the company would direct some of its free cash flows and debt issuance towards the purchase of bitcoin. The company's purchases were profitable for some time, and represented a large percentage of its market cap, causing the share price to largely reflect bitcoin's price. The company continues to purchase bitcoin with its free cash flow, however, this has materially slowed down.
It has 140K bitcoins, worth roughly ~$3.7B. Given this, its market cap is mostly its holdings in bitcoin, and on the optimistic side, if the price of bitcoin increases and its business becomes profitable again (therefore allowing it to purchase more bitcoin) its share price can increase from here. On the other hand, if bitcoin declines or stagnates, it has a high debt load that will require interest payments and its share price will fall. Much depends on the price of bitcoin for MSTR, and we believe if an investor is bullish on the price of bitcoin, we feel MSTR has upside potential, however, if one is less optimistic then it may not show much capital appreciation over the coming years.
