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.

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.

Yes -- but BRK-B Class B stock is at 435.98, and has an options market. BRK-A does not. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BRK-B/options/

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

Yes more volatility due to retail, no to worried!

I’ll buy more MSTR myself, and maybe play with the cheaper options too.

I know you’re not worried

You must be excited as am I.

10 to 1 split means 179 dollar option contract lol

I am perplexed by our friend who still believes stock split means stock dilution
