Shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR), a business intelligence firm with considerable exposure to Bitcoin (比特币), declined sharply on Monday as profit-taking ensued following a parabolic rally over the past month.
The stock touched an intraday low of $464.51 in New York trading, representing a decline of almost 13%. It would later pare losses to trade around $500 pe share. At current values, the company has a total market capitalization of around $4.6 十亿. Last week, the stock peaked just below $512, marking a new all-time high.
The broader equity market was also under pressure on Monday, with the S&P 500 Index and tech-heavy Nasdaq each falling more than half a percent.
MSRT’s pullback coincided with a sharp decline in both the price of Bitcoin and the broader crypto markets as investors took profits following a relentless surge over the past three weeks. Even with the decline, MSRT’s share price has gained a whopping 300% since last summer when CEO Michael Saylor first disclosed the company’s Bitcoin position.
MicroStrategy is the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, 与 70,470 BTC on its books as of Monday, according to industry data.
The firm has been buying up the digital asset on the belief that Bitcoin represents a “dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash.”
Despite its dramatic appreciation over the past few months, Bitcoin remains a highly volatile asset. 在撰写本文时, BTC was just under $32,000, having declined 20% over the past 24 小时.
