Splitting is essentially issuing stock due to supply going up. I would say but great analogy my thing is bitcoin doesn't do that y u see price where it's at microstrategies will never reach that due to these splits same as tesla
Yes, after a split an individual share is worth less bitcoin per share from MSTR treasury equity, but this does not matter for the existing holders.
Everyone has exactly the same amount of Bitcoin before and after the split — there is no dilution, as everyone just gets a proportional slice of their existing position.
Nobody loses out in a split. It’s the same amount of underlying. It generally a good thing to keep stocks in a range $1-100 because it makes options contracts cheaper (contracts are sold as bundles of 100 shares underlying).

So even the unbluvht shares don't get split just share holders??
reply
Unbought? There are no unbought shares. There are 17.74M MSTR stocks out there with an owner. Outstanding stock means stock that’s out there. Every order on an exchange is still stock owned by the person making the exchange.
All these holders have have 10 the shares and 1x the Bitcoin.

Stock splits are common once a share price gets over $1000

So if I buy 2 stocks out of the 100 it splits and I sell 4 back then how does that not add? Putting 4 into 98 ? I appreciate u explaining it so i can grasp

The market cap doesn’t change.
The value of your holdings doesn’t change after a split.
To paraphrase the pizza 🍕 analogy from above, stock split represents the number of slices not the size of the pie. 🥧 pie size does not change.

Gotcha gotcha idk I'm just not in favor of it but investors love it so good for them heard Warren buffets stock never split lol it's at 600k 🫠

Yes -- but BRK-B Class B stock is at 435.98, and has an options market.
BRK-A does not.

You can buy fractional shares in most brokerage accounts now, but you cannot trade fractional options. The lower the unit price, the easier it is to trade options.

Are you worried about more price volatility because lower price shares attract more retail investors?
the main reason is cheaper options
I like playing with options but never with MSTR because cheapest option contract was 800 bucks or more
reply
Yes more volatility due to retail, no to worried!
I’ll buy more MSTR myself, and maybe play with the cheaper options too.
Saylor won’t stop.
