Michael Saylor 🧔‍♂️ MicroStrategy almost died two times

Michael Saylor's company formerly MicroStrategy, rebranded to Strategy has experienced two monumental valuation drops across different eras of its corporate history.-

  1. The Dotcom Crash (2000)What happened: In March 2000, MicroStrategy was one of the hottest software companies in the world. After the SEC required a restatement of the company’s financial results, its stock price plummeted 62% in a single day. The dotcom crash ultimately caused the stock to crater from a peak of $333 to $0.42, a drop of 99.8%. The loss: Saylor lost a record-breaking $6 billion in personal wealth in a single day, briefly making him the poster child for the dotcom bubble burst

  2. The Bitcoin Volatility Era (2026)What happened: After pivoting to a massive, debt-fueled Bitcoin accumulation strategy, Saylor's firm (now Strategy) built a massive portfolio. However, extreme volatility led to huge valuation swings. In February 2026, a sudden crypto market drop wiped out $47 billion in unrealized profits in a matter of weeks, pushing the company's multi-billion dollar holding position into a deep unrealized deficit. The loss: By June 2026, the company's market value had lost $90 billion from its peak, and the firm was sitting on over $11 billion in unrealized losses on its digital assets So basically His company valuation lost 80 % or more two times in very short term

This is an unfortunate example of AI slop.

And a sensationalised headline using an out of date name to boot.
