As a seasoned investor who has navigated the volatile stock market for decades, I find MicroStrategy’s strategic investment in Bitcoin intriguing and bold. Comparing their digital asset strategy to real estate development in Manhattan is an interesting analogy that resonates with me, given my personal experience of witnessing the city’s skyline grow over the years.
For nearly two years, starting from 2020, MicroStrategy has been amassing a substantial Bitcoin collection that ranks among the world’s largest corporate holdings, currently amounting to approximately 439,000 BTC, valued at roughly $46 billion. Similar to real estate developers who have historically financed property expansion through debt, MicroStrategy funded these acquisitions by assuming debt.
In line with Saylor’s perspective, this action can be compared to the long-standing practice of New York real estate developers, who have consistently used debt as a means to expand and shape the city’s skyline over the years.
On December 23rd, MicroStrategy is set to join the esteemed Nasdaq-100 Index, marking another significant achievement for the company. This inclusion will also place it within the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF, thereby drawing increased institutional interest towards MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investments.
On Monday, as Bitcoin reached an all-time peak of $107,162, MicroStrategy’s shares surged by over 5% – a sign that investors are becoming increasingly optimistic about the firm’s approach to digital assets.
Critics of Saylor’s favorable view towards Bitcoin have not held back their skepticism. Some have likened MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin approach to a “Ponzi scheme,” arguing that it relies heavily on debt. However, Saylor counters these criticisms by drawing parallels between Bitcoin and the property development in Manhattan. He views Bitcoin as a long-term reliable economic asset, similar to how Manhattan is perceived over time.
