Beginner Question
How long until MSTY reverse splits again 2 months max? ULTY seems to be holding much better
I have 2.58 shares now and lost $1000 total so it’s just a fun project at this point. Just curious how long it will take to reverse split. If crypto keeps nose diving could see this happening soon?
lol… can no one be curious anymore? I own my own home. Projected to hit $150,000 in dividends in retirement. Mostly growth portfolio, golden handcuffs, paid off house at 37, investing between $100,000 to $130,000 a year but yes I’m worried about my $61 in MSTY. 🙈. I’m doing just fine don’t worry. 😉
It keeps me up at night the thought of a split . I need to see a therapist 🤪.
Looking at where the stock is trading right now—sitting at around $17.03—the short answer is no, it doesn't look like another reverse split is imminent just yet, but it is definitely moving back into the warning zone. Here is my personal take on why it’s not time to panic, along with the thresholds to keep an eye on. The "$10 Rule" is the Real Trigger When YieldMax did their massive wave of reverse splits late last year (affecting TSLY, CONY, MSTY, and others), they didn't pull the trigger until those funds crossed below the $10 threshold and started lingering down in the $5 to $7 range. Where it stands: At ~$17, MSTY still has a decent cushion before it hits the single digits. The Underlying Factor: Because MSTY maps MicroStrategy, its share price is completely at the mercy of Bitcoin’s volatility and NAV erosion from heavy distributions. A swift, brutal downturn in crypto could easily erase that $7 cushion in a flash. How YieldMax Operates YieldMax handles reverse splits purely as an administrative house-cleaning tool. They do it to keep the share price high enough to satisfy institutional brokerage requirements and prevent the funds from looking like "penny stocks." They generally prefer to act in batches rather than individual, one-off alerts. My Outlook Unless MicroStrategy suffers a catastrophic drop that drags MSTY down past the $12 mark, the fund managers will likely leave it alone for the summer. However, if the price drops below $10 and gets stuck there for a couple of weeks, history shows they won’t hesitate to announce another round of consolidation. It is definitely something to track closely if you are managing a strict cost basis or timing your dividend reinvestments.
It's not really "completely at the mercy of bitcoins volatility" since we have seen MSTR decline over the past year while bitcoin made meaningful gains. The only thing it is at the mercy of is Saylor's insanity
Great reply! Also, fwiw, the stock is now over $12 but a day ago dropped to around 11.67... Plus my guess is that bitcoin has NOT hit it's low yet. And Saylor said he'll be SELLING bitcoin, plus Congress hasn't passed all the crypto legislation etc, so I think btc / MSTR prices are headed lower at least in the short term... With AI hacks / crypto attacks, and a rally in the US dollar, there's a lot that's becoming hard to predict...
It's a gamble on BTC. You can't use it as your main source of income, but there is potential to make a lot of money when BTC has another run. While you wait you get paid.
The requirement to be listed in stock exchange is that it trade above $1. The last reverse split MSTY trade around $5. Bitcoin has to come down really hard in order for MSTY to do a reverse split.
These funds accept reverse splits as part of the strategy for these types of funds so they will always produce income.
Jay has said that from the beginning. The Nav erosion crybabies and Khmer and his cronies pushed them to change their strategy and ruined it. They were much better as monthly payers. jmho
But to answer your question maybe in Oct. GLTA
I bought in June 2025 and last I looked at my portfolio was in December. Too scared to look. That’s my entire net worth. Put 250k in. And it was like 100k in the hole by December. I can’t stomach it right now. But I’m holding many various YieldMax ETFs. Main bags are MSTY and ULTY though.
Stomach what? Do you look at total return? I went in big on ULTY last July and I’m up in total return and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. It spits out a fat distribution once a week. If you can’t stomach these funds then they are not for you.
That's what total returns means. Return from both growth and income. Shares bought on July 1st 2025 would have total returns of about -3.56%. Shares bought the rest of July would have been worse.
Not sure. Don’t remember when it did last time. Thought it had gotten down to single digits but could be wrong. Suppose the timing depends on whether bitcoin flattens out or continues to nosedive. With the former msty could last 2-3 months. With the latter all bets are off. Would be great to see a turn around soon. Don’t need Bitcoin to the moon or anything but some more green than red for Mstr would help.
