MSTR
MicroStrategy Owns About 1% of Bitcoin’s Total SupplyMicroStrategy ( NASDAQ:MSTR ), under the leadership of CEO Michael Saylor, has made waves yet again in the cryptocurrency market with its latest strategic move. The company has solidified its position as a major player in the Bitcoin space by acquiring an additional 9,245 Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to a staggering 214,246 Bitcoins. With this acquisition, MicroStrategy ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) now possesses over 1% of the entire Bitcoin market supply.

This reaction highlights the inherent volatility and risk associated with cryptocurrency investments, despite their potential for substantial returns.
Looking ahead, MicroStrategy ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) has outlined its plan to repay its borrowed funds in a unique manner, offering investors the option to swap cash loans for MicroStrategy shares.

Bubble theory 🫧 BTC minersThere are two type of bubbles and they burst for different reasons? A bubble is when too many people hold something and what has driven prices up, now as a force works against them.
There's a saying. Buy things when everyone is a skeptic. Sell when a taxi driver starts talking about investing. There are no more buyers left on top.
First bubble is when volume dries up as the price hits extremes.
Second is when peoples attitudes or sentiment, or opinions change to bearish. And that can happen over night, like a switch. It's interesting and finance is a social science.
Some bubbles can burst due to external events, like start of wars or some financial crisis.
There can be strong bull markets and most of times, these external events would just be noise?
> Was btc miners in bubble? And what type of bubble?
I think Yes and No? Whenever there's a risk free trade, supported by factors a bubble emerges? The price of Mara was rallying hard, trend was strong. You could argue people got over optimistic, knowing the ETF decision was a risk event. -> therefor (the burst) was sentiment driven. But also predictable?
Bubble is when too many people hold asset and there re no buyers left. Similar how a taxi driver is hype about investing.
Technical analysis gives you perspective and context. In 1st instance, impulse was too high and volume indicates crowding? It's tricky because it looks so bullish.
In 2nd instance, impulse was too low. Price action looked bullish? bubbles happen when too many people hold the shares and expect them to rise.
If 1st instance was sentiment switch driven, then 2nd time, the bubble must burst due to exhaustion (or no people left to buy... at these prices.. similar how taxi driver hops in the trade at the wrong time).
Factors and thesis can be bullish - and bubble still bursts.
Is NVDA and SMCI a bubble?
I think there is difference between NVDA, SMCI investors and their time horizon? It could be. I think people believe their investment is supported by the tech drivers. Every dip should be bought out by smart investors and these are the best assets to own in next 5-10 years.
It doesnt mean there cant be external events and risks.
again- bubble is when too many people are in investment. So bubble can burst either by them changing their sentiment or beliefs (maybe fundamentals must change?). Or if price is just so ridiculously high or there is no money left at sidelines, that trend can't be sustainable.
When markets rally - everyone only reads good news and ignores bad news. And vice versa. #HowardMarks #MarketCycle
---> The Risk-Reward buying at these tops just isn't great. That's why they burst. Accompanied by sentiment risks, that hide behind the hood.
MicroStrategy's $800 Mil Notes Offering Fuels BTC AcquisitionMicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MSTR ) has once again made waves in the financial world with its recent completion of an $800 million offering of 0.625% convertible senior notes due 2030.

MSTR on Path to be in the top 20. Ranked 473.
Congratulations on MSTR and Michael Saylor pushing MSTR into the top 500 US companies.
This is a major event for Bitcoin as this puts MSTR in S&P 500 indexes meaning global capital will automatically allocate to MSTR that will then use funds to purchase more Bitcoin pushing the MSTR price up. Using corporate debt and smart leverage.
MSTR & Spot ETF's will be the main factors to how Bitcoin makes it's way to $1,000,000
Bitcoin will be over a 10 Trillion market cap and the MSTR price will trade over $25,000.
Full transparency I have rotated my miners into MSTR & BITO calls. For now nothing is going to beat the MSTR & BITO Gamma offered till the end of the cycle. Miners will be a great pickup during the bear market.
MSTR is now the Berkshire Hathaway of Bitcoin.
MICROSTRATEGY Top of the Channel. Time for a shortterm pullback?MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) has been trading inside a logarithmic Channel Up on the 1D time-frame since the December 30 2022 bottom. The price is currently at the very top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the pattern and that is a technical bearish signal on its own.
It gets increasingly relevant though if we consider the 1D RSI which is overbought and at its highest level since November 13 2023 and more importantly, the remarkable symmetry among the phases of the Channel Up.
As you ca see the price action from the October 04 2023 Higher Low until today is very similar with the price action from the December 30 2022 bottom until (so far) the April 14 2023 High. Both started on a +136.17% rise then -40% correction and a Channel Up rebound for a new Higher High. The symmetry is evident among the 1D RSI sequences as well.
If this continues to hold, we should be expecting a -22.88% pull-back followed by a +77.48% rally that will break above the long-term Channel Up, which would inevitably do at some point since the stock price is so positively correlated to Bitcoin's price.

Bitcoin approaching $60,000. Getting closer to All-Time High!Bitcoin (BTC) Is getting closer to $60,000 and may eventually break the All-time High. There are a few ways to capitalize on BTC moves.
1. Direct purchase of crypto from crypto exchange like Coinbase
2. Invest in stocks associated with BTC. Examples include NASDAQ:MARA , AMEX:GBTC , NASDAQ:COIN , NASDAQ:RIOT , NASDAQ:MSTR
3. Invest in LEAPS options on the same stocks (powerful strategy)
4. Invest in ETFs associated with BTC. Examples include $ARKN, NASDAQ:IBIT , AMEX:HODL , AMEX:FBTC , AMEX:BITB
5. Invest in Bitcoin futures
Expect all of these to move up as BTC approaches $60,000
BTC Price Blasts To $57,100 The price of Bitcoin didn't hesitate to surge comfortably to $57,200 as of writing—reaching heady altitude despite more than $157 million in Bitcoin shorts being liquidated over the last 24 hours, according to CoinGlass.
The milestone comes only hours after BTC surged over $53,000, already seeing heights not seen since 2021.
Investors who took a short position on Bitcoin—betting that its price would go down from when the option to buy was secured—are liquidated when the price rises instead, triggering automated actions by exchanges to prevent further losses.
BTC has logged, then, an intra-day increase of about 10%—a return that would look great as an annual return for conventional investment vehicles. And the green candles are being driven by tradfi hunger for Bitcoin spot ETFs, which also saw record inflows today.
Top institutional Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy had just grown its Bitcoin holdings to 193,000 BTC. That stash was worth $10.28 billion when founder Michael Saylor tweeted about the acquisition of 3,000 Bitcoin this morning. It's now valued at $10.9 billion, a $620 million single-day bump.
The firm has paid an average of $51,813 per Bitcoin, Saylor notes.
It was October 2021 when crypto watchers were similarly breathless, watching Bitcoin rise above $57,000—again, as that figure represented its all-time high at the start of that year—as it continued a two-week rally. It eventually $69,000 in November.

RIOT RUNS ON BITCOIN LONGRIOT is shown on a 15 minute chart over the past 7 trading sessions showing 3 trends up
then with intermittent consolidation then a trend dow. The trend down is the most
important. Given the strength shown on the indicator demonstrating bullish divvergence
I believe that RIOT is now set up for a pullback entry long either shares or options at this time.
Let me know if you need trade specifics for either. See my other ideas for BTCUSD, MSTR,
HUT, BITF and the rest. COIN is also worth a look as an earnings play. Buyer note- any of
these could go into short squeeze if a decent upside price action sets things in momentum.
MicroStrategy's Market Cap and Potential S&P 500 InclusionMicroStrategy ( NASDAQ:MSTR ), a Bitcoin development company, has seen a surge in its shares, driven by the rise in Bitcoin prices, and now holds over $10 billion worth of BTC. The company's market capitalization currently stands at approximately $12.4 billion, which is not too far from the $15.8 billion required for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index. This index tracks the large-cap U.S. equity market across 500 companies.
If it qualifies for the S&P 500 Index, MicroStrategy's ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) shares could see new demand from passive SPY investors, who are not necessarily seeking Bitcoin exposure. According to experts, inclusion in the index could trigger a positive feedback loop, benefiting Bitcoin, as MicroStrategy's primary goal is to acquire as much BTC as possible.
MicroStrategy ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) has marketed itself to investors as a Bitcoin ETF with perks, including cash-generative operations and the ability to leverage capital markets. However, experts caution that using NASDAQ:MSTR as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure is misguided. The company is exposed to a wider range of variables, such as management expertise and lending environment.
Inclusion in the S&P 500 Index is not guaranteed, as eligible companies must fulfill several criteria, including being domiciled in the United States, boasting sufficient liquidity, and showing net positive earnings over their previous four quarters. Even Coinbase, a crypto exchange with a $39 billion market cap, has struggled with profitability over the past four quarters and has not made it into the S&P 500.
It's worth noting that exchange-traded funds, including Bitcoin ETFs, are also ineligible for the S&P 500.
BITFARM a penny cryptominer LONG CONTINUATIONOn the 15 minute chart BITF did 25% this week as Bitcoin climbed over 45,000. It is running hard
