Market Volatility Sparks Concern
As MicroStrategy bolsters its Bitcoin stack, the company’s shares are feeling the strain. In premarket trading, shares are down nearly 5%, mirroring the recent drop in Bitcoin’s price, which now hovers just above $90,000. This volatility highlights the challenges faced by long-term Bitcoin investors, who must navigate through price swings alongside their strategic accumulation.
Semler Scientific Joins Bitcoin Buying Spree
Additionally, Semler Scientific (SMLR) has also jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon, acquiring 237 BTC for $23.3 million, at an average price of $98,267 per coin. Like MicroStrategy, Semler’s move showcases the increasing adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic asset by corporations.
Is MicroStrategy a Buy, Hold, or Sell?
Analysts remain optimistic about MSTR stock, with a Strong Buy consensus rating based on a unanimous eight Buys. Over the past year, MSTR has increased by more than 550%, and the average MSTR price target of $529.57 implies an upside potential of 61.5% from current levels.
