Despite hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Strategy purchases by institutional wealth managers overseeing trillions of dollars, its MSTR common stock is languishing 38% below its 52-week high. Since the end of the second quarter of 2025 when many funds disclosed their purchases, MSTR has lost $8 billion in market cap despite these impressive inflows. This month, a division of the $1.3 trillion asset manager Northern Trust disclosed $31.6 million in MSTR purchases. Meanwhile, the $700 million BNC Wealth Management LLC purchased 1,831 MSTR, according to its most recent quarterly report. California’s State Teachers Retirement System as well as its Public Employees Retirement System disclosed more than $40 million worth of MSTR purchases in their financial disclosure last month. Vident Advisory LLC bought over $30 million per its August disclosure — as did BLKBRD Asset Management. Even Canadian retirement investors through Bank of Montreal have purchase...

Economist Henrik Zeberg has cautioned that Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), formerly known as MicroStrategy stock, might implode due to its exposure to Bitcoin (BTC).  According to Zeberg, the stock could soon present “the greatest shorting opportunity,” he said in an X post on July 18.   #MSTR will be the greatest shorting opportunity of a life time! Not yet!

This month, MicroStrategy (MSTR) Director Carl Rickertsen sold all of his shares for a little over $10 million. Rickertsen hasn’t made any purchases of MSTR this year that met Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements, and he has traded in only one, decidedly bearish direction. He has, however, bought MSTR stock in previous years. Indeed, in 2022, he invested $700,000 in the company. According to legendary stock analyst Peter Lynch, “Insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise.” And since 2022, the price of MSTR has clearly risen. Rickertsen bought $608,000 of MSTR on June 13, 2022. As of today, MSTR has rallied 152% from his $152-per-share purchase. Ever the opportunist, however, Rickertsen didn’t wait until today to sell that purchase. Indeed, he sold half of his 4,000-share position in 2023 . Rickertsen hasn’t made any MSTR purchases this ye...
