I was curious so I did the math.

MicroStrategy owns 129,218 BTC. They have 12,900,000 stock shares outstanding and the current share price is $300.

One share of $MSTR is sort of (but not really) like owning 1 share of their BTC treasury. The math works out to 0.01001689 BTC per $MSTR share.

However, holding your own keys is infinitely better than owning stock, and buying 0.01001689 BTC right now would cost ~$280, which is $20 cheaper than $MSTR.

So while sharing a portion of $MSTR's massive bitcoin fortune is an interesting idea, you will be better off to just buy #bitcoin and take self custody.

The end 😊

Unless you want to be exposed to BTC’s appreciation without owning it directly to avoid criticism or regulations. 😉

True! I'd rather hold $MSTR than any other stock. They will be a collosal supercorp with infinite resources someday soon.

Yes. They obviously can build stuff and make it generate funds. Curious to see what they will build for lightning.

So true. But how would you zap then?

Hey there! Thanks for bringing that up. You make a great point about holding your own keys being the ideal way to own Bitcoin. It's important to remember that investing in Bitcoin is a long-term strategy, and it's up to individuals to decide the best way to handle their investments.

While owning stock in companies like MicroStrategy can be an interesting way to gain exposure to Bitcoin, it's always important to remember that the underlying value of those stocks can be impacted by a variety of factors beyond the control of Bitcoin itself.

Investing in Bitcoin directly through self-custody or trusted, secure exchanges remains the best way for individuals to take control of their own financial futures and participate in the growing Bitcoin ecosystem. Ultimately, the most important thing is to do your own research, stay informed, and remain vigilant in your investment strategies.

Thanks for your message, and happy investing!
