After a sharp decline on Thursday,&nbsp;MicroStrategy Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) is showing signs of recovery in pre-market trading on Friday.
What Happened:&nbsp;MicroStrategy experienced a 2.73% increase in pre-market trading early Friday morning, following a significant 16% drop on Thursday, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a> on Friday.
The company&#8217;s stock closed 16% lower at $397.28 on Thursday, reflecting the volatility linked to&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). As of 6:25 am ET on Friday,&nbsp;Bitcoin was trading at $98,608.30, with some experts predicting it could soon hit $100,000.
MicroStrategy&nbsp;holds over 150,000 Bitcoins, positioning itself as a leveraged play on the cryptocurrency&#8217;s fluctuations. This strategy has inadvertently exposed numerous&nbsp;institutional and retail investors to&nbsp;the unpredictable nature of Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements, despite their potential lack of interest in cryptocurrency investments.

The aggregate principal amount of the notes sold in the offering was $3 billion, including an additional $400 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued pursuant to an option to purchase.
However, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd.

Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) and Kia Corp are together recalling over 208,000 electrified vehicles in the U.S. citing concerns about a loss of driving power, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.
What Happened: The recall population includes 145,235 Hyundai vehicles and 62,872 vehicles from its sister company Kia. 
The integrated charging control unit in the vehicles may become damaged and stop charging the battery, resulting in a loss of drive power, the U.S. auto safety regulator said. A loss of drive power may increase the risk of a crash, it added. 
The vehicles included in the recall are certain IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 Electrified, Genesis G80 Electrified, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38246262/need-a-new-ev-deal-kia-offers-dealers-cash-to-make-room-for-2024-models">and Kia EV6</a>. 
Why It Matters: As for a solution, the company&#8217;s dealers will inspect and replace the charging unit and its fuse if necessary, NHTSA said. 
The company is not aware of any crashes, injuries, fatalities, or fires due to the issue in the U.S.
Earlier this month, Hyundai promoted  Jose Munoz, its U.S. chief and global COO, to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42004380/hyundai-gears-up-for-trumps-return-to-white-house-elevates-us-chief-jose-munoz-to-co-ceo-appoints-former-us-diplomat-to-manage-external-affairs"> the position of co-CEO </a>as part of its strategic preparation for potential challenges that could arise under a second Trump administration.
A second Trump presidency is expected to have a significant impact on the automotive industry, and on EVs in particular with the president-elect promising to impose higher tariffs on imports into the U.S. and vowing to remove incentives for the manufacturing of EVs. 
However, Munoz said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday that the company continues to be optimistic about the future of electric vehicles, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42132485/hyundais-incoming-ceo-is-steadfast-on-evs-says-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-proximity-to-trump-will-be-good-for-industry">irrespective of incentives</a>.
