This is just such a weird move. MSTR is a boring software business that makes decent money but hasn&#x27;t done anything interesting in a while. On the side of that Saylor has gone &quot;Let&#x27;s put all our money on red&quot;. On the one hand, it kind of makes sense for someone else to run the actual business - because clearly Saylor is not interested in that. But that should&#x27;ve been a decision they made when they went all in on BTC. It&#x27;s a bit ridiculous to wait for BTC to tank and then go &quot;Hey, we should really review Michaels role&quot;.<p>No. You made the decision when you put it all on red. There&#x27;s no point bailing now. A while ago I decided to download the data for the daily closing price MSTR and the closing price of BTC. The correlation is basically 1. No one holds MSTR now unless they want pretty pure exposure to BTC. So do what your shareholders want. White knuckle bitcoin until you&#x27;re all bust. The only real mistake I would say Saylor made is starting to use leverage. Do not use leverage to buy incredibly risky product. But other than that, go ahead.

Why would any customer stick with this company when they are so clearly not focused on their products or customer success?<p>How badly is their corporate culture polluted by this BTC initiative?<p>I can’t imagine a worse place to work.
