Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) blistering rise past $110,000 has handed El Salvador another headline-worthy windfall, prompting President Nayib Bukele to fire back at critics with a screenshot of the country's Bitcoin treasury and the quip, "They said, ‘Don't take screenshots, take profits.'"
What Happened: Bukele's image, posted on X, pegs the nation's stash of roughly 6,180 BTC at $678 million—an unrealized gain of about $386 million, or 132%, on the $292 million the government has spent buying the dips since 2021. Bukele had posted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45490643/el-salvadors-bitcoin-holdings-show-357-million-in-unrealized-profit-as-bitcoin-closes-at-record-highs">similar screenshot</a> on May 19 after BTC had edged past the $105,000 mark.

El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender in September 2021, a first for any nation, and has steadily averaged down on price despite International Monetary Fund pressure to limit exposure. The IMF's $1.4 billion program approved in March allows the country to keep a "strategic reserve" without adding Bitcoin to wider public-sector balance sheets, a loophole Bukele continues to exploit.
Why It Matters: Bitcoin's latest leg higher follows a U.S. Senate committee vote <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45511929/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-hails-huge-win-as-genius-act-advances-with-bipartisan-senate-support">advancing</a> stable-coin legislation and JPMorgan's surprise move to let <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45501880/jamie-dimon-opens-jpmorgan-to-bitcoin-access-despite-longstanding-criticism">clients buy the asset</a> — developments analysts say highlight mainstream acceptance.

Nayib Bukele Hits Back At Naysayers After Bitcoin Bolts Past $110,000: 'They Said, Don't Take Screenshots, Take Profits' — Flaunts El Salvador's Neat Gains

A sharp jump in Treasury yields following Wednesday's weak 20-year bond auction triggered a swift market reaction, with several high-growth and tech names plunging between 1:05 p.m. and 2:05 p.m. ET—the exact window 30-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries">yields spiked above 5.08%.</a>
Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) led the decline, falling 6.9%, followed by Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>), which dropped 5%, data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> platform shows. 
AI infrastructure firm CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) slid 4.4%, while Bitcoin-linked Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) tumbled 4.3%. 
Trading platform Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) lost 3.7%.
The selloff came as investors repriced risk across equities amid fears of persistently higher rates, sparked by soft demand at the 20-year Treasury auction. 
The bid-to-cover ratio of 2.46 landed near the bottom quartile of the past 50 auctions, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), sliding to a 19-month low.
Notable losers among the 20 movers with at least $10 billion market cap also included Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), with declines of 3.1%, 2.9% and 2.7%, respectively. 
Semiconductor names also came under pressure, as ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) fell 2.8%, while Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) lost 3% during the hour-long selloff. Other high-beta tech stocks such as Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRDO#NASDAQ">CRDO</a>) and Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) each dropped over 3%, reflecting broad-based risk aversion triggered by the Treasury market spike. 
The weakness extended into biotech and aerospace sectors as well, with Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMMT#NASDAQ">SMMT</a>) and Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) down 2.7% and 3.5%, respectively.

Treasury Yields Top 5%: These 20 Stocks Tanked In Just One Hour

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Chairman Michael Saylor used the classic DeLorean sports car and the science fiction film franchise &#8220;Back to the Future&#8221; to advocate for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on Tuesday.
What happened: Saylor is known for sharing AI-generated photos and videos of himself to advocate for the apex cryptocurrency.&nbsp;
His latest X post showed him wearing an orange puffer vest over a blue denim jacket, very similar to the costume worn by the protagonist of the 1985 film &#8220;Back to the Future.&#8221;
Behind Saylor is a DeLorean DMC-12, the car used as the time machine in the movie, with its gull-wing doors open. The car featured a Bitcoin logo.&nbsp;
Saylor wrote, &#8220;Once you all have bitcoin, I&#8217;ll go back to the future.&#8221;&nbsp;

Interestingly, the official Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) X account chimed in, using the opportunity to promote their own ecosystem.
"Bitcoin may be digital gold, but SHIB is digital culture," Shiba Inu wrote. "The future isn't just store of value… it's meme-fuelled, community-driven velocity."
Shiba Inu also drew attention to their partnership with DeLorean Labs, the Web3 arm of the now-defunct DeLorean Motor Company. Notably, the two brands teamed up for a non-fungible token giveaway initiative in November 2024.
"DeLorean Labs is building the roads we race on," Shiba Inu said, hinting at a major collaboration.
DeLorean Labs didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The DMC was an American car manufacturer founded by John DeLorean in 1975. It produced just one model, from early 1981 to late 1982—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21815188/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-john-delorean-and-the-highway-to-ruin">a slick, futuristic two-seater DeLorean sports car</a> notable for its funky gull-wing doors. However, the vehicle ran into financial difficulties soon after. The company filed for bankruptcy in 1982 and ceased production after a brief period.
Italian automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed the DMC DeLorean that featured in &#8220;Back to the Future,&#8221; has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36319357/back-to-the-future-deloreans-legendary-designer-calls-tesla-cybertruck-picasso-of-automobiles-even-a">noted similarities</a> in the brushed&nbsp;stainless-steel outer body&nbsp;panels with Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck.&nbsp;

Michael Saylor Drops 'Back To The Future' Reference To Promote Bitcoin, Shiba Inu Flaunts Its Own DeLorean Links

Defiance ETFs announced the first weekly distribution for its recently introduced fund, the Defiance Leveraged Long + Income MSTR ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MST#NASDAQ">MST</a>), which provides <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">leveraged long exposure</a> to MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) shares along with income through an options-based approach.
The ETF, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45206100/exclusive-thrill-ride-with-a-dividend-new-etf-marries-microstrategy-leverage-with-income">which listed on May 1</a>, is designed to provide a return of about 150% to 200% of the day-to-day performance of MicroStrategy shares. The investment approach of the fund involves credit call spreads, enabling it to distribute income weekly. An initial payout of $0.3350 per share will be made on May 22 to the record shareholders as of May 21.
Notably, the fund&#8217;s approximated return of capital portion for this <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/20/3084500/0/en/Defiance-ETFs-Announces-First-Weekly-Distribution-of-0-3350-Share-for-MST-Defiance-Leveraged-Long-Income-MSTR-ETF.html">distribution </a>is 99.29%, which shows that almost the entire distribution will not be from net investment income but rather a return of the shareholder&#8217;s initial investment, a characteristic shared by income-oriented, options-based ETFs.
Talking about the high-stakes logic behind the ETF, Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski said, "MST was born from two key observations: first, retail traders are drawn to leverage for its potential to enhance short-term performance directionally; second, many also want income and cash flow. By merging these features, MST offers a differentiated product that&#8217;s designed to deliver what investors have been asking for."

Although the 30-day SEC yield is not disclosed up to April 30, the ETF positions itself as a vehicle for income investors seeking to ride MicroStrategy&#8217;s volatility, as well as its large exposure to Bitcoin indirectly. MicroStrategy has in excess of 1% of all available Bitcoins, making MST an attractive substitute for direct crypto investment.
But the structure of the fund comes with heightened risk. Utilization of derivatives such as swaps and options not only brings leverage and the risk of enhanced losses, but also heightened exposure to MicroStrategy&#8217;s share price fluctuation and, by extension, to Bitcoin market fluctuations. With the compounding on a daily basis, returns of the fund over longer periods may differ considerably from its targeted multiple of leverage.
With a gross expense ratio of 1.31%, MST enters a niche but expanding corner of the ETF universe, providing both leveraged equity exposure and systematic income. Nevertheless, the fund&#8217;s absence of an operating history and use of complex instruments make it better suited for experienced investors who are well-versed with derivatives and leveraged product risks.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

U.S. spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">exchange-traded funds</a> recorded $667.44 million in net inflows on May 19, marking the fourth consecutive day of positive momentum.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs also saw modest gains, with $13.66 million in net inflows and no redemptions across all nine listed products, <a href="https://sosovalue.com/zh/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">according</a> to SoSoValue data.
The strong inflows follow a broader institutional trend, backed by Standard Chartered's note on Tuesday, which suggests Bitcoin is gaining traction among a more diverse set of buyers despite some near-term headwinds.
While the SEC's Q1 13F filings showed a slight pullback in direct Bitcoin ETF exposure, driven by Wisconsin's pension fund liquidating its holdings in BlackRock's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) ETF, indirect exposure via Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) is reportedly increasing.
Sovereign wealth entities in Norway, Switzerland, and South Korea significantly boosted their MSTR positions, with Saudi Arabia also opening a new stake, a sign of growing institutional appetite for BTC proxies.

Standard Chartered reiterated its projection that Bitcoin could reach $500,000 before the end of Donald Trump's term ends, driven by rebalancing from underweight positions and declining volatility.
On May 19, the bulk of Bitcoin ETF inflows were concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT product, which added $305.92 million in new capital. 
Fidelity's (CBOE: FBTC) followed with $188 million, while Ark's (CBOE: ARKB) saw $155 million in inflows.
Ethereum ETF gains were more evenly distributed, with BlackRock's product leading at $13.6 million.
 The total asset value of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs now stands at $124.9 billion, compared to $8.7 billion for Ethereum ETFs.

Bitcoin To Hit $500,000 By 2028, Standard Chartered Says, As ETFs Buy $667M On Monday

Michael Saylor&#8216;s Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), formerly MicroStrategy, was hit with a lawsuit, specifically after adopting the new accounting rules of reporting cryptocurrency assets on its financial statements. This move could make the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury company&#8217;s earnings more volatile, highlights an expert.
What Happened: Before the implementation of the new accounting rule, crypto assets like Bitcoin were reported on the financial statements under the existing intangible asset guidance.
According to Arthur Azizov, the founder and investor at B2 Ventures, after the implementation of the new accounting rules, Strategy may face both &#8220;operational and financial downstream risks,&#8221; in case of falling Bitcoin prices.
Under the old rules, if the intangible asset&#8217;s price fell below its acquisition price, an impairment loss was recorded in the statements, and even if the price went back up in other quarters, the write-down could not be reversed.
However, the new &#8216;Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets&#8217; requires companies to measure crypto assets at fair value each reporting period.
Reporting the assets based on their fair value will reflect the fluctuation in the price of the asset in the financial statements of the company in each reporting period.
&#8220;A Bitcoin's &#8216;fallen knife&#8217; will likely lead to a respective price reduction of Strategy's assets. Under the new U.S. accounting standard (ASU 2023-08) and ASC 820, Bitcoin is now measured at a fair value, meaning that any significant price fluctuation (up or down) directly influences the company's income statement each reporting period,&#8221; Azizov said.
Strategy reported a $5.91 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44671650/strategy-reports-59-billion-in-unrealized-bitcoin-losses-pauses-new-purchases">unrealized loss</a>, driven by the new accounting treatment during the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year in April.
&#8220;During prolonged downturns, this exposes Strategy to deep market-driven financial swings and makes earnings particularly volatile,&#8221; Azizov told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>.

Why It Matters: On Monday, the company was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45496435/strategy-adds-765-million-in-bitcoin-faces-lawsuit-over-btc-holdings">hit with a lawsuit citing</a> &#8220;misleading statements&#8221; regarding its financial outlook ahead of this particular accounting change. 
The plaintiffs alleged that Strategy downplayed the risks of using the fair value method for its Bitcoin and overemphasized new metrics like &#8220;BTC Yield&#8221; and &#8220;BTC Gain,&#8221; while concealing potential losses.
The lawsuit also states that MSTR failed to adequately disclose crucial information about:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The various risks associated with the volatility of Bitcoin.</li>
<li>The potential magnitude of losses the company could recognize due to its adoption of a specific accounting standard.</li>
</ul>
Lastly, Azizo also added that &#8220;There may be a severe equity erosion; debt could become truly burdening; and brand reputation could be undermined.&#8221;
Price Action: MSTR shares ended 3.41% higher on Monday and were 0.26% higher in premarket on Tuesday. The company has advanced 37.80% on a year-to-date basis and 139.36% over a year.
According to its May 19 SEC filing, MSTR acquired 576,230 BTC for approximately $764.9 million
With its latest Bitcoin acquisition at an average price of $103,498 per coin, the firm&#8217;s average purchase price for BTC is now $69,726. This has boosted its unrealized gains to roughly $18.8 billion.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that Strategy had a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid, however, its value ranking was poor at the 3.08th percentile.

Trading Ideas

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Strategy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NYSE">MSTR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.98% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 27.49 million shares sold short, which is 10.85% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.83 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Strategy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747681226_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Strategy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Strategy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Strategy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.69%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Strategy's Recent Short Interest

Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) shares are seeing increased attention to start the week after the company announced a new board appointment that&#8217;s causing a spike in chatter on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/social-media">various social platforms</a>.
What To Know: Semler Scientific, a technology company that has adopted a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury strategy, on Monday announced that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45490896/semler-scientific-appoints-natalie-brunell-to-its-board-of-directors">appointed</a> crypto journalist and podcast host&nbsp;Natalie Brunell&nbsp;to its board of directors.
Brunell is an influential crypto educator and hosts a popular Bitcoin podcast called &#8220;Coin Stories.&#8221; The company on Monday said that its latest board addition reflects its continued commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy. 
&#8220;Natalie is a highly respected journalist and educator – and a leading advocate for&nbsp;Bitcoin, with a deep understanding of its role as a transformative asset. As the 4th&nbsp;largest U.S. public company on the&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;Standard in terms of&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;holdings, we believe we are a strategic asset. Her insights will be instrumental as we pursue our&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;treasury strategy and aim to deliver long-term value to our stockholders,&#8221; said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific.
Semler is seeing increased attention on multiple social platforms, especially on X, where the company is being talked about in comparison to Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>). 
Strategy&#8217;s Michael Saylor <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1924440559634076050">congratulated</a> the Semler team on X in response to a post from the company&#8217;s chairman. He also <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1924444076192981375">responded</a> to a post from Brunell announcing the new appointment. 
In&nbsp;May 2024, Semler Scientific became the second publicly traded company in the U.S. to adopt a&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;treasury strategy, which involves using proceeds from equity and debt financings, as well as cash flows from operations, to strategically accumulate&nbsp;Bitcoin.
Semler reported first-quarter financial results last week, reporting Bitcoin treasury highlights similar to Strategy. The company said it achieved a &#8220;BTC Yield&#8221; of 21.9% in the first quarter and reported a &#8220;BTC Gain&#8221; of 7.1 in the first quarter and 510.3 year-to-date. The company said it held a total of 3,192 Bitcoin as of March 31. 
SMLR Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SMLR">Semler Scientific shares</a> were up 7.84% at $44.08 at the time of publication Monday, according to Benzinga Pro. The company&#8217;s stock is down approximately 18% year-to-date, but has risen 88% over a one-year period on the back of its Bitcoin treasury strategy announcement.

Bitcoin-Linked Semler Scientific Stock Is Trending On Monday: What's Going On?

U.S.-based Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has made another major Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchase even as it faces legal scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-sellers/25/05/45483508/jim-chanos-goes-long-bitcoin-short-microstrategy-in-arbitrage-bet-against-retail-speculation">over its accounting disclosures.</a>
What Happened: According to a regulatory <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1050446/000095017025073962/mstr-20250331.htm">filing</a> with the SEC, the company acquired 7,390 BTC between May 12 and May 18 for approximately $764.9 million, increasing its total Bitcoin holdings to 576,230 BTC, more than 2.7% of Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply.
The latest tranche was bought at an average price of $103,498 per coin, with the firm&#8217;s average purchase price now at $69,726 per BTC, bringing its unrealized gains to roughly $18.8 billion.
However, the company's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has come under legal challenge. 
A class action lawsuit was <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/18/3083600/1087/en/Pomerantz-Law-Firm-Announces-the-Filing-of-a-Class-Action-Against-MicroStrategy-Incorporated-d-b-a-Strategy-and-Certain-Officers-MSTR.html">filed</a> against Strategy and its executives in the Eastern District of Virginia by law firm Pomerantz LLP.
The suit alleges that the company made misleading public statements regarding its financial outlook, particularly following its adoption of new fair value accounting rules (ASU 2023-08) for crypto assets.
The plaintiffs claim Strategy understated the risks associated with applying the fair value method to its Bitcoin holdings, and overemphasized new metrics such as &#8220;BTC Yield&#8221; and &#8220;BTC Gain&#8221; while downplaying the actual losses it could incur. 
In April, the company disclosed a $5.91 billion unrealized loss under the new accounting treatment, triggering an 8.67% drop in its stock price.

Why It Matters: Despite the legal proceedings and reported Q1 losses, Strategy has continued raising capital through equity and preferred share offerings. 
Its "42/42" capital program aims to raise $84 billion by 2027 to fund further Bitcoin purchases, an expansion of its original $42 billion "21/21" strategy.
As the lawsuit unfolds, analysts remain divided on the sustainability of Strategy's high-leverage Bitcoin strategy, particularly given the mismatch between its net asset value and its market capitalization, which exceeds $109 billion.

Strategy's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

On May 16, 2025, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against us, Michael J. Saylor, Phong Le, and Andrew Kang, alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiff, Anas Hamza, purports to assert claims on behalf of a purported class of investors, for a period running from April 30, 2024 to April 4, 2025, alleging that the named defendants made false and/or misleading statements with respect to and/or failed to disclose information with respect to the anticipated profitability of our bitcoin-focused investment strategy and treasury operations, and the various risks associated with bitcoin's volatility and the magnitude of the losses.
we could recognize following our adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The complaint seeks unspecified damages to the class, interest, attorneys' fees, costs, and other relief. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome, or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter.

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against MicroStrategy, Executives Including Michael Saylor, Alleging Securities Violations Over Misleading Statements On Bitcoin Strategy, Risks, and Losses Tied to New Crypto Accounting Standards, With Claims Covering April 2024 to April 2025

As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pursues fresh all-time highs, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Chairman Michael Saylor&#8217;s wealth multiplication strategies for average wage earners, revolving around the apex cryptocurrency, are back in the spotlight.
What Happened:&nbsp;In a recent interview with podcaster Natalie Brunell, Saylor was asked&nbsp;about the best strategies for an average person to grow their wealth by 100x. 
Saylor advised traders not to quit their jobs and avoid extravagant spending on luxury items like sports cars like Ferrari and yachts, which he described as &#8220;obscenely expensive.&#8221;
&#8220;You would be better invested in an asset that&#8217;s going up 30% a year for the next 20 years, Saylor said, suggesting they rather buy Bitcoin, which he estimates will balloon to $13 million apiece by 2045.

He further recommended leveraging mortgage debt to invest in Bitcoin. 
&#8220;If I have any kind of property you know, if I have a house, I would put a long mortgage on it, a 10-year mortgage or a 15 or 20-year mortgage on it, especially a conforming loan and then I would roll it into Bitcoin,&#8221; Saylor said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the cheapest form of permanent capital that someone can get.&#8221;
Saylor&#8217;s argument was that mortgage debt is secured against a &#8220;fairly stable&#8221; asset and the interest rates are subsidized by the government. However, data showed that mortgage rates have been steadily rising.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45311797/the-financial-hurdles-to-owning-a-home-have-rarely-been-higher-says-bmo-as-fed-holds-rates-extending-wait-for-homebuyers">shot up to 6.90%</a> for the week ending May 9, up from 6.81% the previous week and reaching the highest level in two months. This marked a sharp increase from the 3.5% rates seen before 2022 that resulted in a Covid-era housing boom.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Saylor&#8217;s advice underscored his belief in Bitcoin as a long-term investment. One of the most vocal advocates of the apex cryptocurrency, he has put his money where his mouth is, driving his firm Strategy to the forefront of Bitcoin&#8217;s corporate adoption. As of this writing, Strategy held a stash worth over $59 billion as of this writing,&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to bitcointreasuries.net.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $104,165.07, up 0.98% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The cryptocurrency briefly rose above $107,000 late Sunday evening.
Shares of Strategy closed 0.70% higher at $399.80 during Friday&#8217;s regular session.

The data highlights how public pension and treasury managers are increasingly allocating capital into crypto-linked equities, despite the inherent volatility of such assets.

What&#8217;s Next: This trend points toward a broader institutional pivot toward Bitcoin as part of long-term asset diversification strategies, even amid policy and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of May 16, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury companies like Michael Saylor&#8216;s Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) (formerly MicroStrategy) were in focus as Brett Winton, the chief futurist at ARK Investment Management LLC, highlighted that trouble could be brewing for such companies in the long run.
What Happened: As companies like MSTR have been issuing equity and debt to raise funds for Bitcoin purchases, Winton underscored that funding purchases with debt &#8220;seems like a recipe for disaster on the back end of this cycle.&#8221;
According to him, if the treasury companies keep doing so, &#8220;a higher debt mix&#8221; will &#8220;be the seed that grows to destroy the business-less business model.&#8221;
He explains this by highlighting the presence of an arbitrage opportunity till the time the stock prices for companies like MSTR are trading at a premium to the net asset value (NAV).
As of its May 12 SEC filing, MSTR held 568,840 Bitcoins at an aggregate purchase price of $39.41 billion, whereas its market capitalization stood at a staggering $108.55 billion.
Thus, Winton implied that BTC treasury companies could keep issuing equity until the arbitrage opportunity closes. &#8220;Competitors are now launching/raising will accelerate that process,&#8221; he said in his X post.
However, as the equity to NAV gap closes, the companies will shift to debt for funding their BTC purchases, thus concocting the &#8220;recipe for disaster,&#8221; as underscored by Winton.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">though so-called bitcoin treasury companies don&#39;t make sense, but so long as they are trading at a NAV premium to the underlying holdings they should continue to sell equity and buy bitcoin until they arbitrage out the opportunity. That &quot;competitors&quot; are now launching/raising…

Why It Matters: While MSTR is the largest BTC treasury company that has issues both equity and debt to purchase Bitcoins, Ryan Cohen&#8216;s GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) has recently announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44511612/gamestop-follows-mstrs-footsteps-why-will-investors-buy-convertible-notes-with-no-interest">plans to join MSTR&#8217;s ranks</a>.
MARA Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), Cantor Equity Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEP#NASDAQ">CEP</a>), Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), and Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSE: GLXY) follow MSTR in having the highest number of Bitcoins as a part of their assets.
Meanwhile, other experts think that Bitcoin prices are poised to rise. Citing Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat, the Moon Show highlighted on X Friday the potential for Bitcoin&#8217;s network value to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45463966/tom-lee-predicts-bitcoin-will-hit-1-5-million-in-10-years-calls-it-a-swiss-army-knife-of-money">equal that of gold</a>. 
Lee argued that Bitcoin&#8217;s versatility, acting as a risk-on asset in bull markets, combined with growing adoption, fuels network value and price appreciation.
Price Action: Shares of MSTR fell 4.73% on Thursday and rose 1.03% in premarket on Friday. The stock was up 32.34% on a year-to-date basis, and 175.72% higher over a year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that MSTR had a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long term. Its momentum ranking was solid at the 97.50th percentile, while the value ranking was very poor.

Ark Invest Expert Takes Swipe At MSTR, MARA, Says 'Bitcoin Treasury Companies Don't Make Sense:' 'Funding Purchases With Debt...Seems Like A Recipe For Disaster'

Veteran short seller Jim Chanos on Thursday revealed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45417306/michael-saylors-bitcoin-strategy-infinite-money-glitch-or-a-reflexive-leverage-bet">a strategic arbitrage trade</a>: long Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), short Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
His position targets what he <a href="https://x.com/coinbureau/status/1922951397776974024">described</a> as a widening and unjustified premium on MicroStrategy's stock relative to its Bitcoin holdings.
&#8220;We're buying Bitcoin, selling MicroStrategy stock—an arbitrage play, buying for $1, selling for $2.50,&#8221; Chanos said during the talk. 
He emphasized that the core trade isn&#8217;t based on predicting Bitcoin's price direction but exploiting the spread between MicroStrategy's net asset value (NAV) and its trading price.
&#8220;I don't know where Bitcoin is going.. $100,000, a million, $10,000. I don't know. I don't think anybody else knows,&#8221; he said. "But what I do know is it's generally profitable to short $1 for $2.50 or three dollars."

Chanos, who has intermittently held this position over the past few years, criticized what he sees as a flawed narrative among retail investors: buying into corporate structures like MicroStrategy as a proxy for direct Bitcoin exposure. 
"They are basically selling retail investors the idea that we are going to buy Bitcoin in a corporate structure… and therefore earnings are created by the difference between what new investors are paying with the net asset value is,&#8221; he said.
He likened his own approach to that of Strategy founder Michael Saylor saying, "We're doing exactly what MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor are doing," highlighting that his trade simply reverses the structure: directly buying Bitcoin while selling the stock.
Chanos also pointed to the premium to NAV as a barometer of market speculation, noting it has recently returned to levels seen at the end of 2024. 
"It's a good barometer, not only just of the arbitrage itself, but I think of retail speculation," he added.

Jim Chanos Goes Long Bitcoin, Short MicroStrategy In Arbitrage Bet Against Retail Speculation

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman, Michael Saylor, says the company, formerly known as MicroStrategy, could survive a brutal crypto winter, but its shareholders wouldn&#8217;t be too happy about it.
What Happened: In a new Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/video/4d1a1666-20d4-4930-ab80-eda742640f16">film</a> and subsequent interviews, Saylor warned that if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) "fell 90 per cent and stayed there for four or five years, we would still be stable," yet equity investors "would suffer because they're levered."
The alert comes as MicroStrategy — already the world's largest corporate holder of the token at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45349057/strategy-buys-134b-in-bitcoin-at-99856-cites-155-btc-yield">568,840 BTC</a> worth about $59 billion — keeps piling on debt and preferred-stock financings to buy more.
Saylor's endgame is simple. "Whoever gets the most bitcoin wins. There is no other endgame," he told Yahoo Finance in a separate <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/michael-saylor-is-never-selling-microstrategys-bitcoin-100028211.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3J0dW5lLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAA0_cDmg_yzUnWkCMGRMws58uA4m5pNkrk4-fuSqVHXxJeAqApmq-qjKyHiettjO_4mfIipQjgHmdG2p97lFQnQfbvQQg0dLC4Tgwo-eU1W42llt5dsynyG1hJipd6xQTyFtZKKAI45R8vcaavU9Jl8y8caZOu2-ZCAa2-MKJf6W">sit-down</a>. To keep buying, MicroStrategy sold $580 million of dividend-paying <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/microstrategy-preferred-stock-yield-bb1b45ef">preferred shares</a> in January and another perpetual-preferred slug in March — cash it can deploy straight into crypto.
The balance sheet now holds just $60.3 million in cash against tens of billions in digital assets, its latest 10-Q shows. Former Bank of America ECM chief Craig Coben tells FT that Strategy&#8217;s focus on "new money" raises "questions about the sustainability" of the bet if prices crater.

Saylor shrugs at the skeptics, even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/44044388/michael-saylor-says-sell-a-kidney-but-keep-the-bitcoin-but-mstr-is-down-28-since-he-appeared-on-the-cover-of-forbes">trolling them</a> on X: "Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin." But Saylor's own warning shows just how thin the ice could get if the next crypto winter proves deeper and longer than the last.

Why It Matters: Economist Peter Schiff, a fierce critic of all things Bitcoin, has consistently questioned Strategy's Bitcoin playbook, recently predicted &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45426766/peter-schiff-predicts-fireworks-says-michael-saylors-strategy-will-see-unrealized-loss-during-bitcoi">fireworks</a>&#8221; if Bitcoin were to drop in value. Schiff stated that a significant BTC slump could soon even push MSTR "into the red."
That said, JPMorgan analysts expect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45444794/bitcoin-is-starting-to-outperform-gold-jpmorgan">continued Bitcoin upside</a> into late 2025, driven by sector-specific momentum and weakening gold sentiment. Major U.S. exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini are expanding regulated crypto derivatives offerings to institutional investors, all adding to the crypto king&#8217;s momentum.
Price Action: Shares of MicroStrategy closed 4.73% lower at $397.03 on Thursday. The stock has gained 32.34% since the beginning of 2025, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">according to data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
