MSTR This week Saylor will be diluting another ~$100M, or ~500,000 MSTR shares, just to pay the April dividend on STRC. And then on May 5th he'll be announcing a massive Q1 loss, practically ensuring MSTR will not be included into the S&P 500 this year.
MSTR was the worst performing stock in the NASDAQ 100 last year, and there is no guarantee they will get to remain in the index for the duration of 2026. There are new rules going into effect starting in June 2026. At that time any company ranked outside the top 125 eligible companies by total market capitalization at the quarterly rebalance will be automatically removed and replaced. In the broader market, MSTR currently ranks around #279 in total market cap, placing it well outside the top 125. Companies like Palantir (5 times the size of MSTR) and Coinbase are currently poised to bump MSTR our of the index.
And don't forget the MSCI index committee still has their "ongoing study" about whether to allow DAT firms like MSTR to remain in the MSCI index. For now index funds are in "limbo", meaning they are not allowed to buy or sell shares of MSTR for rebalancing purposes until the study is completed. So the MSCI stay of execution granted back in January will not last forever.
The NASDAQ QQQ and MSCI index funds are the lifeblood that MSTR depends on to sell shares to in order to fund preferred dividends. By law MSTR can't sell shares of STRC or any other preferred stock to fund dividend obligations.
The June deadline is rapidly approaching for MSTR's stock price to recover enough to remain in the NASDAQ 100. The more Saylor dilutes the shares between now and then, the less chance it happens. Tick-tock.
MSTR imagine being a shareholder in a company where the owner post meme's of himself with glowing eyes and continously wastes money, but the 💩 keeps dropping no matter how much he buys 🤑
MSTR Unless btc drops overnight, this is flying tomorrow. We had 8 months of shorting this. The beast is waking up. As long as BTC rallys up, this going with it. Far as i can see, partys just now taking guests before thr show.
