Citron Research Reflects on Timing: One Year Later, Long Bitcoin and Short MicroStrategy Strategy Proves Successful
Citron Research's Prediction: Citron Research, led by Andrew Left, made a strategic bet in November 2024 by going long on Bitcoin while shorting MicroStrategy, predicting that MicroStrategy's stock was overheated compared to Bitcoin's fundamentals.
Performance Results: A year later, Citron's prediction proved accurate, with MicroStrategy's stock down 68% and Bitcoin down 15%, highlighting the significant underperformance of MicroStrategy relative to Bitcoin.
Market Dynamics: Citron noted that the volume of MicroStrategy's stock has become detached from Bitcoin's fundamentals, as more investment options for Bitcoin have emerged, reducing the necessity of investing through MicroStrategy.
Saylor's Response: Michael Saylor, former CEO of MicroStrategy, defended the company's Bitcoin strategy, claiming it could be highly profitable, but Left expressed confusion over Saylor's explanation of how the company generates revenue from Bitcoin investments.
