The Defiance Daily Target 1.75X Long MSTR ETF (MSTX), which tracks MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) shares, experienced a 24-hour plunge of 5.24% on Wednesday, reflecting concerns over the company's heavy reliance on Bitcoin and the potential risks associated with its ambitious capital raising plans.
MicroStrategy, known for its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, reported holding 252,220 Bitcoins valued at $18 billion as part of its "Bitcoin Treasury" strategy. While the company successfully raised $1.1 billion through an equity offering and $1.01 billion through convertible notes to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions, concerns have been raised about the potential dilution of existing shareholders due to the ambitious $42 billion capital raising plan over the next three years.
Furthermore, MicroStrategy's heavy exposure to Bitcoin exposes the company to significant market risk and volatility, which could impact its financial stability. This concern has been exacerbated by the recent decline in the company's software business revenue and the ongoing transition from on-premise to cloud-based solutions, raising questions about the performance of its core business.
