MicroStrategy Stock Plummets Amid Short Seller Critique

Investment firm Kerrisdale Capital accuses MicroStrategy of trading at an unjustifiable premium to Bitcoin, causing a significant drop in stock value.

MicroStrategy's stock fell by up to 14% following a report by Kerrisdale Capital, which criticized the company for its high valuation relative to Bitcoin.
Kerrisdale Capital, shorting MicroStrategy stock and long on Bitcoin, highlights a valuation premium of $177,000 per Bitcoin owned by the company.
The investment firm predicts a potential 50% decline in MicroStrategy stock relative to Bitcoin, citing the availability of spot Bitcoin ETFs as a better investment option.
MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has seen its market cap exceed that of nearly half the companies in the S&P 500, despite concerns over its valuation.
Critics argue that with the emergence of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the appeal of MicroStrategy as a proxy for Bitcoin investment has significantly diminished.
