MicroStrategy stock holds steady even as Bitcoin dips originally appeared on TheStreet.
Shares in MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) rose 0.64% to $366.57 on Thursday afternoon, while the Bitcoin price decreased 1.65% to $106,009.66. The inconsistency can be attributed to the mood of market participants, who weigh general market sentiment, including some selected political news that impacts the crypto market.
Typically, MicroStrategy aligns with pricing maneuvers in the Bitcoin price, but Thursday's trading behavior suggests that this correlation may no longer exist; perhaps investors have returned to a considerably healthy belief in a positive future for MicroStrategy, given its tech company status.
The split comes as the crypto markets have ignited in volatility, partly fueled by political drama over U.S. trade policy.
Just today, a federal district court struck down the reciprocal tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated the reciprocal tariffs while the Trump administration proceeds through the court appeal process.
The ruling by the appeals court gives Trump time to appeal and to maintain his trade tariffs, for the time being. The continual ratcheting back and forth has created uncertainty for global markets and left Bitcoin, often seen as a hedge against inconsistent monetary policy, reeling in the face of this uncertainty.
