MicroStrategy, a company that holds a significant amount of Bitcoin, is facing concerns about its overvalued stock. Citron Research has claimed that the company's valuation has become detached from Bitcoin fundamentals, despite Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs. The stock has experienced a decline, erasing $20 billion in market value. MicroStrategy has become the second most actively traded stock on the Nasdaq, but speculation about its valuation premium and potential risks have increased. The company recently completed a $3 billion debt offering and has raised $6.6 billion in stock sales, all of which will be used to buy Bitcoin. However, if Bitcoin enters a bear market, MicroStrategy may be forced to sell its holdings to repay creditors, potentially triggering further price declines. The company currently holds 331,200 BTC with a value of approximately $32 billion. Despite the recent decline, MicroStrategy's year-to-date performance remains strong compared to Bitcoin and the S&P 500.
