    Why would they in the first place? It would be like a newspaper buying gold. If investors want to buy bitcoin they can just do that.

          Since you’ve missed the news, the USA has been overtaken by a fascist christian white supremacist party who gut social programs, cut science funding, literally completely disbanded the department of education, increased the defficit, and enacted large Tariffs on every other nation.

            For the third time (assuming you don’t count Congressional cycles) in twenty years. I’ve spent a solid 13 of the last 25 years living under a Christian Fascist presidency. Why am I supposed to assume that will devalue the dollar this time around?

              You’re either pretending this administration isn’t worse than any previous example or you are woefully naïve.

        But now they’re essentially just a bitcoin proxy, they even changed the logo to have a bitcoin on it.

        Now that there’s lots of ETFs and stuff, why buy Microstrategy and not just bitcoin?

          If you own a share of meta then you own a share of meta and meta owns a mix of assets ranging from physical to various liquidity, whether its USD or BTC there isn’t any difference in this regard.
