We recently published a list of Chinese Stocks Dominate Monday’s 10 Worst Performers. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) stands against other Chinese stocks that performed worst on Monday.

Wall Street’s main indices finished mixed on Monday as investors remained cautious amid the escalating trade tensions globally, with President Donald Trump threatening to slap China anew with a 50-percent tariff if the latter does not withdraw its countermeasure.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq was the sole gainer during the day, up 0.10 percent. In contrast, the Dow Jones declined by 0.91 percent and the S&P 500 dropped by 0.23 percent.

Meanwhile, 10 companies—predominantly Chinese stocks—were sold down as investors moved away to minimize the potential risks from the trade war.

In this article, we have identified Monday’s worst performers and detailed the reasons behind their drop.

To come up with the list, we considered only the stocks with $2 billion market capitalization and $5 million in trading volume.

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR)

Strategy Inc., formerly MicroStrategy, saw its share prices decline by 8.67 percent on Monday to end at $268.14 apiece following news that it paused from acquiring Bitcoins between March 31 and April 6 amid the ongoing market uncertainties.

The news weighed down on investor sentiment especially with MSTR’s knack for purchasing Bitcoins every week.

However, MSTR reportedly purchased 22,048 Bitcoins for $1.92 billion the week before, marking their largest acquisition to date.

Last Tuesday, investment firm TD Cowen reaffirmed its Buy rating and a price target of $550 for MSTR over its $722.5-million fixed income offer that could bolster its acquisition of more Bitcoins.

According to the analyst, the issuance of non-convertible preferred shares was a strategic move that would allow the company to advance its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

MSTR was among the Bitcoin mining giants that earned a boost from the US government’s backing of the cryptocurrency industry.

According to President Donald Trump, he plans to make the cryptocurrency industry a national priority.

Overall, MSTR ranks 6th on our list of Chinese stocks that performed worst on Monday.
