MicroStrategy Inc. MSTR experienced a significant pre-market drop of 14.71% on Monday.
MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) shares are seen sharply lower in pre-open Monday after the company's second-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings report.
What Happened: MicroStrategy's stock price is seen trading at $1,235.01, showing a pre-market drop of 14.71%. The stock closed at $1,447.99 on Friday.
The company's stock has been closely linked to Bitcoin movements after MicroStrategy adopted a unique investment strategy in 2020. MicroStrategy began deploying a large portion of its cash flows into Bitcoin holdings.
This strategy paid off handsomely in the past, generating returns for MicroStrategy stockholders that outpaced even the gains in Bitcoin itself, earning the company the nickname "The Bitcoin Development company.'
However, MicroStrategy's stock has been showing signs of weakness lately, especially after a massive rally in 24 months. The stock recently crossed below its 50-day moving average, which is currently trading at $1,492 after closing at $1,542 on Thursday.
Other crypto-linked stocks are also seen trading lower amid the weakness in Bitcoin. Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) shares are seen down 2.5% in pre-open after closing at $321.3 on Friday.
