That said, one company\u2019s buying decision isn\u2019t a reliable short-term price signal for the market.<\/p>\n<p>The financing structure matters just as much as the purchase itself. Selling common stock to fund Bitcoin exposure can grow the treasury without adding leverage, but it also dilutes existing shareholders, meaning MSTR investors are exposed to both bitcoin\u2019s volatility and the company\u2019s equity-issuance decisions.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart crypto-chart-instance\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634\" data-coin-id=\"bitcoin\">\n<div class=\"chart__header\">\n<div class=\"chart__info\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<img id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-chart__info-icon-img\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart__info-name\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-chart__info-name\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-symbol\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-chart__info-symbol\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-current\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-price\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-chart__info-price\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-change\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-chart__info-change\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-extra\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-label\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-marketcap\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-chart__info-marketcap\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__controls\">\n<div class=\"chart__controls-group\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--24h\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-btn-24h\">24h<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--7d\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-btn-7d\">7d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--30d\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-btn-30d\">30d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--1y\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-btn-1y\">1y<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--all-time\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-btn-all-time\">All Time<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__container\">\n\t\t<canvas class=\"chart__canvas\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a969199a8634-cryptoChart\"><\/canvas>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Anyone weighing MSTR as a bitcoin proxy should understand this trade-off, which is explored further in <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/msci-indexes-microstrategy-bitcoin-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this analysis of risks facing Strategy\u2019s equity-financed treasury model<\/a>.
