Opinion: MicroStrategy's Infinite Money Glitch Won’t Last

MicroStrategy Stock Plunges After Citron Research Shorted the Stock

MicroStrategy shares plummeted sharply lower after Citron Research announced that it had shorted the stock against a long position in Bitcoin. The company's stock closed down 16% and is down 26% from its record high. MicroStrategy, known as the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has been the center of speculation in the stock market. It has an aggressive accumulation strategy to buy more Bitcoin, including selling billions of dollars worth of stock and bonds. The recent surge in the stock has allowed MicroStrategy to raise $3 billion to buy more Bitcoin. However, the challenge for investors is to maintain the stock's premium to Bitcoin.

This is the fun part of any glitch; the license to print huge sums of money that seem to have no bearing on reality. MicroStrategy’s average purchase price of Bitcoin is just under $40,000, according to Barclays estimates, and with Bitcoin trading at almost $100,000 its current hoard is worth approximately $24 billion.
