What's Going On With MicroStrategy Stock?
Mar 14, 2024 9:33 AM

MicroStrategy Inc ( MSTR ) shares are trading lower Thursday, pulling back after rallying more than 130% over the last month. The company announced another proposed offering late Wednesday to buy more Bitcoin.

What Happened: MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) said it intends to offer $500 million worth of convertible senior notes due 2031 in a private offering to institutional buyers. The company plans to grant the initial purchasers a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $75 million of the notes.

The rally in MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) shares has been ignited by rising bitcoin prices. Near the end of February, the company said it acquired 3,000 additional bitcoin between Feb. 15 and Feb. 25, which helped push shares higher.

Since then, MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) has continued buying bitcoin and has even announced multiple offerings to further increase its bitcoin holdings. Co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor has also been selling shares along the way, but his latest regulatory filing indicates that the stock sales are part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Saylor on Sept. 19.

As of March 10, MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) said it held an aggregate of approximately 205,000 bitcoins at an average purchase price of approximately $33,706 per coin.

The move lower in MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) shares Thursday may also be partly due to declining bitcoin prices. Bitcoin was down more than 1% over a 24-hour period trading around $71,790 at the time of writing.

Should I Sell My MSTR Stock?

Similarly, traders willing to minimize losses may sell a stock that falls a certain percentage, while long-term investors may see this as an opportunity to buy more shares at a discounted price.
