Michael Saylor’s Stock Dives 50% in 2025: Will It Survive the MSCI Cut? 🤔

by

In a spectacle of financial ruin worthy of a Dickensian tragedy, the illustrious MSTR stock closed the year with a modest 2.35% decline, ending at a paltry $151.95. Oh, what a splendidly brutal 2025 it’s been for Michael Saylor’s grand strategy! Meanwhile, Bitcoin, that darling of digital gold, languished at $87,768 – a price that no longer makes Warren Buffett sing with glee. 🚀💸

And what, pray tell, does this mean for the mighty MSTR? Well, the 24-hour volatility is a dainty 1.3%, and the market cap dwindles to a svelte $1.75 trillion, as if to mock the grandeur of days gone by. All eyes are now fixed upon January 15, the date that may, or may not, see MSTR cast aside from the esteemed MSCI Index-an ominous portent for those who treasure their index funds. 📉

MSTR Stock Touches Its 52-Week Lows – How Quaint!

The stock has descended to a dismal $151.95, a new low in what can only be described as a financial freefall. Over the past half-year, it has plummeted more than 65% from its July peak of $450-remarkably, a feat that would make a rollercoaster designer blush. 🎢

With Bitcoin slumping to $87,000 and the entire crypto sphere seemingly suffering from a severe case of the jitters, MSTR’s prospects are, shall we say, not exactly rosy. Meanwhile, whispers of a possible entry into the S&P 500 echo through the halls of Wall Street, now drowned out by the deafening noise of impending disaster.

The January 15 deadline looms like a Dickensian executioner’s axe, threatening to exclude MSTR from the MSCI Index thanks to its digital treasure trove-over 50% of assets in cryptocurrencies-reclassifying it as a mere investment fund rather than the glorious operating business it once fancied itself to be. JPMorgan predicts a potential $8.8 billion exodus if this misfortune occurs. 💀

Such news has spurred an avalanche of selling during Q4 2025, eroding more than $90 billion from the valuation-truly a masterstroke of financial acumen. Strategy’s CEO, Mr. Saylor, probably wishes he had invested in any other asset class-perhaps antique teapots or rare beetles. As Peter Schiff snidely remarked, “Strategy isn’t in the S&P 500. But if it were, its 47.5% decline in 2025 would earn it a prime spot in the index’s hall of shame.”

“Strategy’s sole claim to fame is buying Bitcoin-an endeavor that, in truth, has been a masterclass in shareholder disservice.” – Quite so, Mr. Schiff.

What’s the Crystal Ball for 2026? 🧐

Amidst the chaos of a crumbling crypto market, optimism remains a fragile thing. The company continues issuing new shares-because nothing says ‘solvency’ like diluting your shareholders’ dreams-and plans to deploy a princely $11 billion through at-the-market offerings. How charming.

Meanwhile, the market’s net asset value (mNAV) has slipped below 1, implying the stock is trading at a discount to its real worth. An inspiring turn of events, surely.

Yet, hope persists among the brave analysts. Even if Bitcoin should tumble to $74,000, the worth of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings would still be estimated at $49.8 billion-more than enough to cover its liabilities, or so they assure us amid much shrugging and hand-waving. According to bullish pundits, institutional interest in MSTR is not dead but merely sleeping-it will, they suggest, rise again, like a phoenix from the ashes of $5 trillion in losses.

And fear not-this stalwart company shuns margin loans, avoids collateral-backed Bitcoin debt, and has no precarious liquidation triggers threatening to turn Saylor’s empire into a digital ghost town. It’s almost charming, really, in its stubborn refusal to go gently into that good night. 🌙
