Criticism of Saylor's Strategy
Despite the successes, several investors, including Jim Chanos and Cliff Asness, express doubts about Saylor's strategy. They argue that the company's debt remains risky even if Bitcoin continues to rise.
Michael Saylor's strategy, once considered risky, is now viewed as visionary amid the rise in Bitcoin prices and significant profits for MicroStrategy. However, critics' perspectives highlight the risks associated with the company's debt obligations.
