After buying them, I sometimes doubt if I did the right thing. On the one hand there are those who say that to buy MSTR shares, you better buy Bitcoin directly and that's it. But on the other hand, there are those who say that since MSTR is a company that takes on a lot of debt to buy Bitcoin, it can bring higher potential profits.
To be honest, I don't like this type of diversifying, it's like you go long in oil and invest in Exxon shares, and in this case MSTR carries a lot of risks and I don't see why would they bring higher potential profits from since they're only buying bitcoin, nothing else that's more spectacular or that would outperform your own buys not forgetting the fact that they have their own expenses on top of that. And the risks are far higher, the company can land itself into trouble, from legal stuff to hacks to stupid decisions, a crazy dump triggered by god knows what even like we've seen back in last April would send them near bankruptcy with their exposure, on the other hand, the bitcoins you held yourself will be still yours no matter what.
In my opinion, I would leave buying shares to the ones that can't buy
BTC directly, and that's not the case here.
It's not a bad idea. Considering the growth in value, owning shares in Microsoft is a shrewd approach with potential for good ROI.
Yeah, but shares of Microsoft were not tied to the value of a windows license, nor did I see a w95 serial number getting traded for $50k this weekend with the possibility of getting even more valuable in ten years..
