According to Finbold, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) has recently expanded its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings by purchasing an additional 27,200 BTC for approximately $2.03 billion, bringing its total to 279,420 BTC. This move aligns with the company's strategy to transform into a Bitcoin bank, offering various financial products. However, independent analyst Gert van Lagen has raised concerns about the sustainability of this approach, particularly in the event of a recession. Lagen suggests that an economic downturn could force MicroStrategy to sell its Bitcoin holdings, potentially impacting both the company and the broader cryptocurrency market. He warns that holding such a large amount of Bitcoin is unsustainable for a company of MicroStrategy's size and could lead to liquidation if economic conditions worsen.
