Bye bye $MSTR (-8.94%)

See you again when you are at 200€🫶

Let's relax 🫶 $MSTR (-8.94%)

I have been holding MicroStrategy shares ($MSTR (-8.94%) ) for half a year now. Originally, my motivation was clear: I was looking for a leveraged play on $BTC (-1.37%) without investing directly in derivatives or high-risk altcoins. $MSTR (-8.94%) seemed like the perfect vehicle - an established company with an aggressive Bitcoin strategy, led by Michael Saylor, who has publicly emerged as one of the loudest BTC bulls. But what began promisingly is increasingly turning out to be a disappointing journey.

1.

Extreme volatility - without real added value

Of course, a certain amount of volatility is to be expected with a Bitcoin-related share - I was aware of that. But what increasingly bothers me is that these fluctuations often seem completely disconnected from Bitcoin's performance itself. While $BTC (-1.37%) reaches new highs, it sometimes $MSTR (-8.94%) sometimes stands still or even loses. If the leverage effect should be higher in theory, why this sluggish reaction?

2.

Dilution through capital increases

A massive damper is the repeated dilution through new share issues. In order to finance further Bitcoin purchases, MicroStrategy regularly issues new shares or bonds. What is lost in the process: shareholder value. The original leverage on Bitcoin is being diluted step by step - not only financially, but also psychologically for investors.

3.

Non-transparent communication around Bitcoin purchases

Michael Saylor may be a visionary - but as an investor I often feel like I'm being presented with a fait accompli. Bitcoin purchases no longer seem like strategically placed investments, but like one-sided bets on ever new all-time highs, regardless of the timing or market environment. As well-intentioned as the narrative is, there is a lack of clear, shareholder-friendly communication.

4.

What remains of the leverage effect?

The crucial point: the hoped-for leverage effect that made the MSTR share attractive to me no longer seems to exist. Despite a new all-time high for Bitcoin today - the share remains frozen. The Bitcoin share ratio continues to rise, but $MSTR (-8.94%) does not follow accordingly. If BTC rises 3-4% and the share price does not react at all or even reacts negatively, then it becomes clear that the narrative no longer holds.

The only leverage effect I can feel is the downward one.

Today I decided to set a stop loss at €350.

If this is executed, I will forget about the share for a while and possibly get back in at more favorable prices.

prices again.

What do you think of the share and what was your experience?

The Japanese holding company Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350) is currently causing quite a stir on the markets - and for good reason: the company is pursuing an increasingly aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy that is reminiscent of MicroStrategy for many investors.

Today, the stock posted a strong daily gain of over 14%, reaching a new 3-month high of JPY 783. This upward trend did not come out of nowhere: Metaplanet recently purchased 1,004 BTC worth around USD 104 million and now holds a total of over 7,800 BTC. This puts the company ahead of El Salvador - at least in terms of Bitcoin holdings.

💰 The purchase was financed via zero-coupon bonds, which underlines the management's long-term optimism and strong commitment. Metaplanet already generated around 88% of its revenue from Bitcoin options in the first quarter of 2025 - a clear signal that this company means business.

While many players are still hesitant, Metaplanet is now positioning itself as one of the most aggressive BTC proponents in Asia - and potentially beyond.

🔍 Why is this exciting for investors?

• Potential Bitcoin proxy investment outside the US
• Exposure to the crypto market via regulated stocks
• Comparable dynamics to MicroStrategy in the early days

📊 Conclusion: If you are betting on the long-term success of Bitcoin and are looking for an exciting play in the Asian market, Metaplanet should definitely be on your radar. The current rally could be just the beginning.

Apparently, due to misleading statements about the $BTC (-1.37%) strategy, a class action lawsuit against $MSTR (-8.94%) and its executives was filed with the SEC👀

I'm curious to see what the outcome will be.

Greetings dear community,

after about 6 months of investing I thought I would share my experiences here with newer investors like myself and to get opinions and experiences from the old hands.

My journey with investing started last year in December, I also registered on GetQuin relatively quickly as I had seen an advertisement for it. Like any complete beginner, instead of reading up, I just bought what I saw in a buddy's portfolio:

$MSTR (-8.94%)

$IREN (-2.79%)

$SPGI (-1.34%)

$AAPL (-4%)

$XRP (-2.11%)

As you can see in my current overview, these shares are still in my portfolio - the background here is the "bear market" we have been experiencing since the beginning of the year. I didn't want to sell the shares at a loss and thought that the small positions I had invested in were no big deal.

However, the aim here is definitely to sort out thoroughly.

Thanks to the community here, I was able to learn a lot, read a lot of posts and also wrote one or two posts myself. As a result, I was able to build up a lot of knowledge and realized that I needed a solid strategy. 🧠

Quite quickly, I started to set up an ETF savings plan on the $IWDA (-1.45%) This is still running today and is part of my strategy. I have also made one or two individual investments in:

$AMZN (-1.96%)

$AMD (-1.7%)

However, in contrast to my predecessors, I have been much more involved with both companies, and my investment horizon is also far into the future thanks to my young age. What's more, I bought the shares during the price slumps - which clearly paid off again on a day like today. 😎

My future strategy would be a core-satellite strategy, with the All-World as the core and an ETF in the emerging markets or Europe as a satellite. In addition, I would buy individual shares in proven stocks and a $BTC (-1.37%) savings plan, which is also simply left to run, as I also find the topic of crypto as such extremely exciting! 😅

Finally, I would like to thank all the regular "posters" who provide young investors like me with valuable market information, new stocks with exciting prospects and knowledge in areas such as trading or well thought-out strategies.

I can also appeal to beginners and would like to encourage you to post here, ask questions and don't let it get you down - I am also at the beginning of my career and yet I am confident, inquisitive and ready to get further into the subject after my training and really implement my strategy! 🚀

Have a nice evening and good luck in your investment career 📈

Hello everyone,

My portfolio, which reflects all, really ALL of my investments, has finally cracked the €30,000 mark.

As a 20-year-old trainee at a Volksbank, I think that's something to be relatively proud of.

There's already been a discussion on GetQuin: Yes, I collect Dom Pérignon champagne bottles. Can that be seen as an investment? I don't know. But they are collector's items that I was able to buy cheaply and 4 years later the price has risen somewhat. Well, it doesn't matter.

$MSTR (-8.94%) will be sold soon and everything will be shifted into the ETFs for the first time until I have dealt with it enough and what I invest the 8-10,000€ in.

I bought €4,800 in business assets out of boredom. Could the money have been better invested? Yes.

Well, it's already been canceled and will be paid out next year. Let's see what we do with it.

A €6,000 savings bond... I actually don't know what I was thinking. So please don't ask me. Just ignore it, please.

Building society savings: Will probably stay for now. I have very good conditions as an employee and I don't want to lose them.

Well, that should be it.

Come on, blame me for my bad decisions and for the fact that champagne is not an investment ist❤️🥰

Love you all. Will have to post more regularly again or maybe not. Let's see gucken✌🏼

The current market sentiment at $BTC (-1.37%) makes me personally incredibly bullish. We are just scratching the $100k mark again and nobody seems to care.

With New Hampshire, we have the first US state with a strategic BTC reserve.

A bill also came into force yesterday in Arizona that does not allow direct investment, but transfers confiscated BTC to the state reserve. In many other states, SBR laws are currently going through the official legislative process, which you can follow here:

$MSTR (-8.94%) hosted "Strategy World 2025" in Orlando from May 5-8. A conference at which BTC strategies and use cases for companies were presented.

Among others were:

- Visa $V (-2.26%)

- Dell $DELL

- Salesforce $CRM (-4.21%)

- Siemens $SIE (-2.45%)

- Palantir $PLTR (-0.43%)

- JP Morgan $JPM (-0.87%)

All of these companies are apparently involved with Bitcoin.

There are more and more strategy imitators. More and more companies are dedicating their entire business model to buying as much BTC as possible.

The funding rate is at bear market levels, which indicates a healthy, sustainable increase. There are no over-leveraged long trades in the market.

There is less and less BTC on the exchanges. The stock on the exchanges has been falling continuously for 5 years. BTC is not only being bought, it is being withdrawn from the exchanges. The supply is therefore falling continuously.

And while all this is going on, interest in Bitcoin is absolutely low, as can be seen from Google Trends.

It's interesting to see the direction in which this is all developing. What do you think?
