He wanted to have some exposure to bitcoin, because he has some concerns about the rapid expansion of central bank balance sheets leading to currency debasement. This company bought bitcoin with their balance sheet. Now they are issuing debentures and buying bitcoin with it. He has been trimming on the way up. The stock got way ahead of itself. He is playing entirely with house money and has his original investment out. He owns it to have a little exposure to bitcoin.
DON'T BUY
As they add Bitcoin to their balance sheet and increases the amount of Bitcoin per share Buy Bitcoin instead. You don't know what the CEO will do.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

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.

Trades off Bitcoin. Very volatile. Hard to determine outcome of business. Would rather owning Bitcoin itself. 

RISKY

SELL ON STRENGTH

Leveraged vehicle on Bitcoin prices. Would not recommend going all in. Would suggest a portion of portfolio on company. Given current price of Bitcoin (all time high) - would suggest selling.
