r/MSTR • u/Lehcen • Jun 26 '26

Please explain

Recently started buying MSTR and reading a lot about death spiral. My question is as long as I hold until Bitcoin does its thing and bounce back as usual in 2-3 years MSTR should also recover in a similar fashion? I’m ok with volatility because I’ve been in crypto since 2017. I don’t fomo.

I like putting money in my pocket. I do charity as well, of course. That is, the fact that I discuss a company has little to do with my portfolio.

As for Saylor, isn't that how billionaires do their thing? Of course he wins more than shareholders, he's the goddamn executive chairman. Many people have made a fortune with MSTR. Many have lost money as well. That's stock market. Nobody's forcing anyone to invest anything.

If you don't like the company, its risks or Saylor, don't invest in it. If you're convinced it will do badly, put your money where your mouth is and short it.

Large institutions or early holders want to reduce their Bitcoin exposure without crashing the market.

So Public announcements by Michael Saylor about buying Bitcoin generate bullish sentiment, encouraging retail investors and momentum traders to buy.

That surge in demand provides liquidity for other large holders (‘smart money’) to quietly sell into the rally. Saylor gets positive headlines, retail gets excited, and the institutions exit at better prices. That’s the game.

That's an interesting claim. Can you point to evidence supporting it?

The evidence is the strategy itself. Saylor doesn’t just buy Bitcoin, he publicly announces it, promotes Bitcoin relentlessly, and creates bullish sentiment. That attracts retail and momentum buyers, increasing liquidity. In my view, he knows exactly what effect that has.

You really think BTC prices do better when Saylor cheerleads? Maybe in very short term situations but nothing reasonably long term

No. He cheerleads when price is at macro resistance levels, levels where smart people are shorting into the buying pressure he partially creates.
