HomeMarket OutlookCryptocurrencyTechSummaryMicroStrategy has shifted from a pure Bitcoin accumulation model to active balance sheet defense, weakening its previous 'never sell' narrative. MSTR now holds ~844k BTC at an average cost of $75. 5k, with a current NAV of ~$88 per share and trades at a modest 1. 15x NAV premium. The company's new capital framework prioritizes disciplined equity issuance, capital management, and occasional BTC sales to service obligations and reserves. I maintain a Hold rating: MSTR lacks a compelling premium or discount, and direct Bitcoin exposure offers cleaner upside unless the stock trades at a significant NAV discount.
