MicroStrategy may increase the outstanding shares by a factor of 30(!)!

The $MSTR (-1.44%) shareholders have approved the Board's plan to increase the number of their outstanding shares by a factor of 30 in order to finance additional purchases. $BTC (-0.63%) finance additional purchases.


This decision will allow the company to raise more capital through the sale of new shares and thus further expand its Bitcoin holdings.


The question now arises: is Michael Saylor a genius or has he become a megalomaniac?

@DonkeyKongx I don't think he's going to issue so many shares in one go now😅
I rather think that this is a preparation for the future. Whenever he can increase the share/bitcoin ratio by issuing new shares, he will probably do so

@stefan_21 I'm too excited about the financial release, Bre has to make money too. I'm currently wondering what 😅🙌

@DonkeyKongx he makes money with his BTC 😃

@DonkeyKongx He makes a bit of cash with his software business. But that is negligible. However, this is also important for interest payments and creditworthiness in general. But the positive news about the software business gives reason to expect positive things.

They have to, since most of the original 42 billion from the 21/21 plan should already have been used up, right? But I don't have it exactly in my head now. I like watching Saylor interviews, but he's always throwing numbers around - I'm always confused afterwards. 😵‍💫

@Ash Yes, that's right, the 42 billion will soon be gone😂 Did you see his interview with Julian from Relai? He talked quite a lot about the future strategy there :)

How much longer until this huge bubble bursts
profile image
@portfolio_wizard_1415 Since the convertible bonds all have very long maturities, I don't see any major danger yet (at least for the next bear market).
So it may take a long time😅

@portfolio_wizard_1415 ah Gerald. We exchange opinions, analyses, news, etc. on all kinds of assets here and only rarely do you find any empty phrases from Krone or Bild.
If you think BTC or other crypto assets are a bubble that will soon burst, please share YOUR analysis - and try to explain how YOU came to this conclusion.
We can then have a good discussion about it.
So a money printing machine I don't have to understand everything about the stock market. I'm only in with 5 shares.
@Pzjs I've only been on the stock market for 1 month and still have to get rid of my eggshells, bear with me, it's all new territory for me

@portfolio_wizard_1415 In principle, it's a money printing machine, genau🤷‍♂️
MSTR has the ability to borrow money at 0% interest. They use the money to buy Bitcoin.
The lenders can then demand the money back in X years (usually 5 years I think) or receive shares at a fixed price. If the share has performed well, the investors can achieve a good return. If the share performs badly, they can get their money back.
MSTR has effectively built a bridge from the bond market to Bitcoin. This allows the bond market to participate in the returns of Bitcoin, but without having to bear the full risk.

@portfolio_wizard_1415 tip for the 2nd month - only buy things that you understand (industry, business model, etc.) no matter what the "google forecast" says about it.
Thanks, so far I've mainly used "classics" like Microsoft, but I also read a lot, unfortunately a lot of garbage, so many insider tips on Google advertising. My bank also offers some webinars, so I can get tips from all the information and misinformation and form my own opinion before I invest real money.

@portfolio_wizard_1415 then I would go to the urologist Gerald...
Make the snowball bigger to attract even more snow. Let's see what happens in spring ☃️

So invest in $MSTR or $BTC... or both 😂😂

So should I buy MSTR now or only after the split?
What happens if I own 0.2 MSTR shares, will they also be taken x30?
