10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), known for its aggressive Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42560698/microstrategys-aggressive-bitcoin-strategy-raises-eyebrows-in-crypto-community">acquisition strategy</a>, may temporarily pause its purchases in January due to an alleged blackout period.
What Happened: Speculation about the potential halt stems from claims that the company could suspend issuing convertible debt or conducting &#8220;at-the-market&#8221; (ATM) share sales to fund Bitcoin buys, Protos <a href="https://protos.com/microstrategy-blackout-period-could-freeze-bitcoin-buys-in-january/">reported</a>.
These reports have prompted widespread discussion among investors.
Benzinga has reached out to MicroStrategy for a comment.
The claim originated from a venture capitalist who suggested that MicroStrategy is entering a blackout period prohibiting the issuance of new convertible debt in January. 
This assertion has not been confirmed by MicroStrategy or its executives, but it has raised questions about the company's operational procedures and funding strategies.
Some observers believe the rumored blackout may be linked to self-imposed restrictions companies often adopt to ensure compliance with securities regulations. 
While the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not mandate such blackout periods, they are commonly implemented between the close of a fiscal quarter and the release of earnings reports.
These measures are designed to prevent the misuse of non-public information for trading advantages.

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy has regularly observed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42509614/microstrategy-expands-bitcoin-holdings-by-15350-btc-worth-15-billion-after-joining-nasdaq-100">consistent pattern of Bitcoin acquisitions</a>, largely funded by convertible debt offerings and ATM share sales.
The potential suspension of these activities has raised questions about the impact on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42561551/microstrategy-chairman-michael-saylor-eyes-intelligent-leverage-with-bitcoin-purchases">company's Bitcoin buying streak</a>. However, the precise details surrounding this alleged pause remain unclear.
The company is expected to release its earnings report between Feb. 3-5, 2025.
If a blackout period is in effect, it could align with this schedule, as many companies refrain from significant financial activities in the lead-up to earnings announcements.
Questions have also arisen regarding whether the rumored restriction applies solely to ATM share sales, convertible debt offerings, or both. 
MicroStrategy's recent inclusion in the NASDAQ 100 index on Dec. 23 may also play a role, as companies often reassess their governance and disclosure practices following such milestones.
Ultimately, any decision to enforce a blackout period would be determined by MicroStrategy's board of directors. Such a measure would reflect the company's commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency.

&#8220;Some indicators we monitor suggest that the air is getting thinner,&#8221; the report cautioned. 
This sentiment now looms larger, with Bitcoin's recent failed wedge breakout putting its bullish momentum in jeopardy. 
Traders are advised to remain vigilant as these technical signals highlight increased risks for the cryptocurrency. 
The situation highlights a broader narrative: Bitcoin&#8217;s ability to maintain its support level depends on external factors that may no longer be favorable.
One of the more striking concerns is the diminishing impact of MicroStrategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42561551/microstrategy-chairman-michael-saylor-eyes-intelligent-leverage-with-bitcoin-purchases">aggressive Bitcoin accumulation</a>.
The company has spent $16 billion acquiring approximately 159,000 BTC since November.
While this announcement initially sparked optimism, Bitcoin&#8217;s price appreciation has been modest, and MicroStrategy's share price has largely stagnated. 
&#8220;Despite the massive $16 billion purchase, Bitcoin's price gain of roughly 10% during this period raises questions about the broader market's strength,&#8221; the report notes. 
This disparity suggests that even significant bullish catalysts might no longer be enough to drive the market higher.
Monetary policy also casts a long shadow over Bitcoin's 2025 outlook. 
The Federal Reserve's decision to remove its commitment to rate hikes in late January 2024 initially led to a strong rally. 
However, the lack of a clear timeline for rate cuts resulted in a six-month consolidation phase. 
Although Bitcoin experienced another rally in September following the Fed&#8217;s first rate cut, the central bank's December meeting reintroduced uncertainty.
Analysts point out that the Fed is unlikely to take a dovish stance in early 2025, which could keep Bitcoin in a lackluster trading range.
Inflation data further complicates the picture. Despite the Federal Reserve's efforts, progress on reducing inflation has been minimal. Bond yields remain elevated, with 2-year Treasury yields at 4.3%. 
This persistence creates tighter liquidity conditions, offsetting Treasury measures aimed at lowering refinancing rates. 
The Treasury refunding announcement on Feb. 5 next year is expected to provide critical insights into how U.S. debt strategies may evolve under the new administration.

What&#8217;s Next: The incoming Treasury Secretary's potential reversal of short-term debt reliance could introduce additional volatility, raising further concerns for Bitcoin traders.
Market participants are also closely watching inflation reports scheduled for Jan. 15, Feb. 12, and beyond. 
These data points will play a significant role in shaping expectations around Federal Reserve policy, which is seen as a key driver of Bitcoin's performance. 
The report highlights the importance of these external forces, noting that Bitcoin's fate is increasingly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36720396/is-bitcoin-a-safe-hedge-against-inflation">tied to macroeconomic trend</a>s.
"While we do not want to turn too bearish, it's clear the tailwinds supporting the market may be fading," the report concludes. 
Analysts are cautious but not dismissive of Bitcoin's resilience, emphasizing that while it remains above $95,000, the risk of heightened volatility and prolonged consolidation persists.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been corrected to state that MicroStrategy&#8217;s dollar cost average price for Bitcoin is below, not above, the current price of the cryptocurrency. 
With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices peaking to all-time high levels, MicroStrategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has once again become a focal point in discussions among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42503221/microstrategy-shares-surge-nearly-7-amid-nasdaq-100-inclusion-and-bitcoins-new-record-high">traders and analysts</a>.
What Happened: In a tweet on Monday, industry expert Alex Kolicich addressed common misconceptions about MSTR in a recent tweet, explaining that the stock is neither a leveraged nor a synthetic call option on Bitcoin. 
Instead, Kolicich pointed out several structural inefficiencies:
<ul>
<li>MSTR trades at a 140% premium to its Bitcoin holdings&#8217; net asset value (NAV).</li>
<li>Each $1 invested in MSTR stock provides only $0.45 of Bitcoin exposure, far less than direct Bitcoin ownership.</li>
</ul>
Kolicich further <a href="https://x.com/AlexKolicich/status/1868705490387321177">elaborated</a> that MicroStrategy is not leveraged but instead deleveraged, offering reduced Bitcoin exposure compared to direct investments. 
He highlighted alternatives like BITX, which provide 2x leverage without a NAV premium.
Additionally, while traditional call options on assets typically offer leveraged upside due to their long volatility exposure, MSTR's convertible bonds effectively short volatility, diluting shareholder returns as Bitcoin prices rise.

Why It Matters: Crypto trader TheFlowHorse on Dec. 17 in a post on X emphasized the implications of Saylor&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin purchases, noting that these acquisitions have significantly raised MicroStrategy's DCA to $61,000. 
This figure is approximately 40% lower than Bitcoin's current price, introducing potential risks if prices fall significantly.

MicroStrategy's Aggressive Bitcoin Strategy Raises Eyebrows In Crypto Community (CORRECTED)

Editor's Note: The spelling of Michael Saylor&#8217;s name has been corrected in the headline.
Financial market commentator Peter Schiff on Tuesday criticized Michael Saylor&#8217;s comparison of MicroStrategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) debt-financed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) buying strategy to Manhattan real estate.
What Happened: In an X post, Schiff disagreed with Saylor&#8217;s analogy. &#8220;Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t generate any income to make interest or principal payments,&#8221; he argued.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">It&#39;s wrong for <a href="https://twitter.com/saylor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@saylor</a> to compare his leveraged buying of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> to investors borrowing money to purchase Manhattan real estate. Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn&#39;t generate any income to make interest or principal payments.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1869116244714262623?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Spencer Hakimian, founder of hedge fund Tolou Capital Management, countered Schiff&#8217;s viewpoint, stating that, unlike the Manhattan real estate industry, Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t have any expenses or maintenance.
Schiff responded that rents from real estate exceed the expenses.
The city&#8217;s rental market contradicts national trends, with the top 50 markets experiencing 15 consecutive months of rent decreases. In October 2024, New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42256888/as-nyc-rents-hit-new-highs-85-of-residents-look-to-buy-elsewhere-heres-what-they-find">median asking rent</a> increased 1.7% year-on-year to $3,374, representing a 13.1% increase from pre-pandemic values. Manhattan&#8217;s median monthly rent stood at $4,750 as of this writing, according to Realtor.com.

Why It Matters: This criticism comes after Saylor defended MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin acquisition strategy by equating it to Manhattan&#8217;s real estate industry. He said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42524546/michael-saylor-counters-critics-who-label-microstrategys-bitcoin-play-ponzi-scheme-calls-it-similar-to-manhattans-real-estate-developers-using-debt-to-build-more-skyscrapers">just like developers in Manhattan issue more debt </a>to develop more real estate when its value goes up, MicroStrategy capitalizes on high returns from Bitcoin to buy more Bitcoin.
Schiff&#8217;s critique adds to the ongoing debate around MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy. Earlier, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237876/peter-schiff-predicts-microstrategys-bankruptcy-due-to-bitcoin-investment-strategy">warned that the</a> company's commitment to repay a large sum of money to convertible note holders could be a potential risk if the price of Bitcoin falls sharply.
Well-known cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228264/crypto-analyst-flags-convertible-debt-induced-liquidation-risk-to-michael-saylors-microstrategy">flagged the risk </a>associated with the firm&#8217;s convertible debt offerings, stating that if buyers do not convert to shares&nbsp;before maturity, MicroStrategy would be forced to sell Bitcoin to repay them.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $105,351.94, down 0.86% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bitcoin Is No Manhattan Real Estate, Peter Schiff Challenges MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor: 'BTC Doesn't Generate Any Income' (CORRECTED)

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) is doubling down on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42560698/microstrategys-aggressive-bitcoin-strategy-raises-eyebrows-in-crypto-community">its strategy to maximize shareholder value</a> through what Saylor calls &#8220;intelligent leverage.&#8221;
The software-turned-Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) proxy firm has become a major player in the cryptocurrency market, attracting significant investor attention due to its bold approach to Bitcoin accumulation.
"We have $7.2 billion in convertibles, with $4 billion effectively equity through the strike and call price. They are trading with a delta of nearly 100%, resembling equity," Saylor explained during a Bloomberg Television <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-18/microstrategy-s-saylor-wants-to-add-more-intelligent-leverage?cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-tv&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&amp;utm_content=tv&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;embedded-checkout=true">interview</a> on Wednesday. "We aim to develop more intelligent leverage for the benefit of our common stock shareholders."
MicroStrategy has been at the forefront of an unconventional capital-raising campaign to acquire Bitcoin, announcing multibillion-dollar purchases of the cryptocurrency every Monday for the past six weeks. 
This aggressive strategy has catapulted the company's stock price by nearly 500% this year, significantly outpacing Bitcoin's 150% gains over the same period.

The company's market capitalization has surged to over $90 billion, paving the way for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42503221/microstrategy-shares-surge-nearly-7-amid-nasdaq-100-inclusion-and-bitcoins-new-record-high">inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 Index</a> by the end of trading Friday.
This inclusion is expected to trigger approximately $2 billion in purchases by funds that track the index, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
MicroStrategy's approach has also drawn interest from hedge funds engaging in convertible arbitrage strategies. 
These involve buying the company's fixed-income securities while shorting its shares, capitalizing on the stock's volatility. 
This demand has enabled MicroStrategy to issue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42509614/microstrategy-expands-bitcoin-holdings-by-15350-btc-worth-15-billion-after-joining-nasdaq-100">$6.2 billion worth of convertible bonds</a> this year alone.

Austin Campbell, CEO of fintech company WSPN Payments, voiced strong opposition to the idea of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42522606/trump-is-serious-about-creating-a-bitcoin-reserve-says-microstrategys-michael-saylorurges-to-buy-btc-before-it-goes-up-by-100x">strategic Bitcoin reserve</a>, advocating instead for personal ownership of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: In a detailed thread <a href="https://x.com/CampbellJAustin/status/1868402414749188247">posted</a> on X on Sunday, Campbell acknowledged Bitcoin&#8217;s value as an asset but warned against governments or corporations taking speculative positions in BTC.
His key arguments include:
<ol>
<li>Dollar Decline &amp; Fiscal Mismanagement: Campbell stated that a strategic Bitcoin reserve would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42380296/larry-summers-national-bitcoin-reserve-crazy">accelerate the decline</a> of the U.S. dollar, signal fiscal irresponsibility and undermine monetary policy. He likened the potential fallout to the economic instability of the Great Depression.</li>
<li>Deflationary Risks &amp; Price Volatility: Using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42417335/us-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-would-cause-tectonic-shifts-in-personal-finance-researcher-predicts">Bitcoin as a strategic reserve</a>, he argued, could exacerbate deflationary pressures. Governments might be forced to dump BTC during economic crises, creating price instability.</li>
<li>Nationalization Concerns: If Bitcoin were treated as a strategic asset, Campbell predicted governments might seize Bitcoin mining operations during periods of economic stress.</li>
<li>Resource Misallocation: He criticized the strategic reserve and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/12/42441532/what-does-fair-value-accounting-mean-for-bitcoin-in-corporate-strategy">corporate Bitcoin strategies</a> for diverting resources from productive investments, like infrastructure and education, into speculative holdings.</li>
</ol>
Campbell summarized his stance with a direct call to action: "Just buy BTC yourself! Why is this so hard?"

Why It Matters: Campbell views the idea of a strategic Bitcoin reserve as incompatible with the government's primary role of ensuring economic stability, not engaging in speculative investment. He also highlighted the risks of corporate BTC holdings, noting:
<ul>
<li>Adding Bitcoin to balance sheets complicates valuations, especially with the rise of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42526592/bitcoin-ethereum-etfs-see-688m-net-inflows-analysts-target-124000">spot Bitcoin ETFs</a>.</li>
<li>Macro risks emerge as corporate investments in BTC could drain economic capital and create systemic vulnerabilities.</li>
</ul>
Campbell pushed back against comparisons to MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), stating: "I know everyone is going to point to MicroStrategy as some kind of magical money printing machine, but the entire market cannot be MSTR."

Is A Bitcoin Strategic Reserve A Good Idea? Expert Pushes Back: 'Just Buy BTC Yourself'

CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti expressed confidence regarding the future of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETFs and other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) under the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump.
What Happened: Mognetti highlighted the substantial inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs following the election. He noted that the Bitcoin ETF sector has witnessed 12 consecutive weeks of net inflows, a trend unseen since 2021. Mognetti anticipates that the new administration will maintain a positive stance towards cryptocurrency, potentially benefiting Ethereum and other digital coins, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/12/17/coinshares-ceo-on-the-expectations-crypto-will-continue-to-thrive-under-president-elect-trump.html">reported</a> on Tuesday. 
&#8220;The Trump administration coming up in January or February is nourishing a lot of hope,&#8221; Mognetti said.

Mognetti also pointed out that the U.S. market has been lacking in crypto products since 2014, when the first application was submitted. The SEC has been cautious in approving new products, but Mognetti believes this is changing, allowing more issuers to properly introduce coins. As the market evolves, he expects increased investment demand for cryptocurrencies, driven by greater market education and regulatory support. 
Why It Matters: The optimism from Mognetti aligns with recent statements from Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), who emphasized the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42522606/trump-is-serious-about-creating-a-bitcoin-reserve-says-microstrategys-michael-saylorurges-to-buy-btc-before-it-goes-up-by-100x"> incoming Trump administration&#8217;s seriousness</a> about establishing a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve. Saylor urged investors to &#8220;buy it now and own the future,&#8221; suggesting that capital will flow into digital assets and the Bitcoin network.
Furthermore, President-elect Trump has pledged to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42480856/donald-trump-pledges-to-do-something-great-with-crypto-heres-what-hes-done-so-far">&#8220;do something great with crypto,&#8221;</a> indicating a significant shift in U.S. policy on digital assets. Trump emphasized the need for the U.S. to stay ahead of global competitors, particularly China, in embracing cryptocurrency. This potential policy shift could lead to increased regulatory support and market education, fostering a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> data, at 8:42 am ET, Bitcoin was up at $1,07,469.30 while Ethereum was trading at $4,008.83. Meanwhile, Bitcoin based ETFs were also seeing an upward movement. Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>) was up by 1.56%, iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) was up by 1.66% and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (Btc) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>) was trading 1.40% higher.

CoinShares CEO Optimistic About Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum Under Trump

Amid growing concerns over cryptocurrency volatility,&nbsp;Thomas Peterffy, chairman of&nbsp;Interactive Brokers, has highlighted the potential for a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) crash to significantly impact the stock market in 2025. During an interview with Bloomberg, Peterffy emphasized the risks associated with high leverage levels in the financial system.
What Happened: Peterffy noted that margin balances have been climbing rapidly, with bitcoin being a primary area of margin-based risk-taking due to&nbsp;low fees on bitcoin futures&nbsp;offered by the CME. He warned that a sudden drop in bitcoin&#8217;s value could compel investors to liquidate&nbsp;assets to meet margin calls,&nbsp;potentially leading to bankruptcies and market instability.
&#8220;I am very worried that people overextended themselves,&#8221; Peterffy said.
In October, FINRA margin debt reached&nbsp;its highest level since February&nbsp;2022, approximately&nbsp;$815 billion, according to YCharts&nbsp;data. Peterffy also pointed out that&nbsp;MicroStrategy&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has raised considerable debt to bolster its bitcoin holdings, which could worsen the situation if bitcoin&#8217;s value falls sharply.
Despite Peterffy&#8217;s concerns, bitcoin recently hit record highs above $107,000.

Why It Matters: The potential for a bitcoin crash has been a topic of discussion among analysts. According to&nbsp;Bernstein analysts, the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42415888/bitcoin-crashing-mundane-reasons-says-bernstein-buy-the-dip"> recent pullback in bitcoin&#8217;s price </a>below $95,000 was attributed to routine leverage adjustments rather than fundamental issues, suggesting investors should &#8220;buy the dip.&#8221; Despite this, the volatility has raised concerns among traders.
Additionally, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42438664/what-bitcoin-crash-dont-think-were-anywhere-near-a-top-analyst-reassures">crypto analyst&nbsp;reassured</a> investors that the current bull run might still have room for growth, despite recent market turbulence. The analysis highlighted that the market is not near a top, indicating potential for further gains. These differing perspectives underscore the uncertainty surrounding bitcoin&#8217;s future trajectory and its potential impact on broader financial markets.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Bitcoin was trading at $1,06,955.20 at 8:13 am ET on Tuesday. Meanwhile, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 closely was slightly down by 0.38% and Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) had dropped by 0.27%.

Bitcoin Crash Could Trigger Stock Market Decline In 2025, Warns Expert: 'I'm Very Worried That People Overextended Themselves'

The stark contrast between traditional real estate investments and cryptocurrency markets has come into sharp focus as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) crossed the $100,000 mark, while New York City&#8217;s real estate market maintains steady but modest growth, according to recent market data.
What Happened: New York City&#8217;s median home prices reached $785,000 in early 2024, showing a measured recovery from the slight dip to $764,000 in 2023, according to StreetEasy data cited by the NYC Comptroller&#8217;s office. 
The city&#8217;s real estate appreciation has been notably conservative, with prices rising approximately 16% since the pre-pandemic period, significantly lower than the national average of 42%.
DoorLoop, a rental property management software company, reports that NYC real estate maintains an annual average appreciation rate of 6%, representing a stable but modest return for traditional investors.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin&#8217;s price trajectory tells a dramatically different story, currently trading at $106,522. The cryptocurrency&#8217;s historical performance has been marked by extreme volatility, with annual returns ranging from gains of 1,369% in 2017 to losses of 73% in 2018.
In May, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), drew an intriguing parallel between the two assets in an interview with Yahoo Finance. 
&#8220;New York City is the endgame for people that want to live in the greatest city in North America. Bitcoin is the endgame for anybody that wants to own the greatest property in the 21st century,&#8221; Saylor stated, referring to Bitcoin as &#8220;the apex property of the human race.&#8221;
Bitcoin&#8217;s journey since 2009 has been remarkable, with its price soaring from just $0.0009 per coin in the first transaction to approximately $106,000 in 2024, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 244.32% over 15 years.
Early on, Bitcoin&#8217;s price remained under $1 until 2011, when it reached $0.2972, and surged to $946.48 by 2013. Despite extreme volatility, such as the 1,369% surge in 2017 and a 73.48% drop in 2018, Bitcoin has shown resilience and strong long-term growth. As of 2024, year-to-date gains stand at 141.48%, highlighting its continued dominance in the market.

Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and son of President-elect Donald Trump, shared his perspective at the Bitcoin MENA 2024 Conference during an interview <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1866568436115239400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1866568436115239400%7Ctwgr%5E4141364f2fb9a63b995234a19a19603559d4e270%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcoinmagazine.com%2Fmarkets%2Feric-trump-states-bitcoin-is-the-ultimate-hedge-for-real-estate-investors">with</a> Bitcoin Magazine. Despite his background in real estate, Trump acknowledged cryptocurrency&#8217;s advantages over physical assets, particularly noting real estate&#8217;s illiquidity and higher transaction costs.
The investment comparison highlights key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42073064/why-real-estate-might-outshine-gold-and-bitcoin-as-a-long-term-investment">differences in accessibility and costs</a>. Real estate purchases involve fees including taxes, realtor commissions, and property improvements, while Bitcoin transactions typically require minimal fees for purchase and transfer to self-custody.
For investors weighing their options, the choice between NYC real estate and Bitcoin represents a fundamental decision between steady, traditional appreciation and the potential for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42519107/if-you-invested-1000-in-bitcoin-when-the-first-bitcoin-etf-was-filed-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">dramatic gains coupled with significant risk</a>. 
The emergence of Bitcoin ETFs has significantly increased retail investor interest, with prominent offerings such as iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTC#NYSE">BTC</a>), ProShares Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>), and Volatility Shares Trust 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITX#BATS">BITX</a>), providing various options for investors seeking exposure to the cryptocurrency market.

Michael Saylor Compared Bitcoin To New York Real Estate: Where Are Investors Winning The 'Endgame?'

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder Michael Saylor responded on Monday to critics who call the firm's Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) acquisition strategy a Ponzi scheme, equating it to Manhattan's real estate industry.
What happened: During a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/12/16/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-with-microstrategy-ceo-michael-saylor.html">interview</a>, Saylor was asked his views on the argument that the company's much-discussed strategy, which capitalizes on high returns from Bitcoin to buy more Bitcoin, is a Ponzi scheme.
"Just like developers in Manhattan, every time real estate goes up in value, they issue more debt to develop more real estate," Saylor came up with a sharp retort. "That's why your buildings are so tall in New York City."
The Bitcoin advocate said that such a practice has been in place for 350 years and that he would call it "an economy."
For context, a Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays early investors with money taken from later investors. The scheme collapses when the flow of new money slows down and the fraud entity cannot pay off earlier investors.

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy has been the frontrunner in Bitcoin's corporate adoption, with its stash ballooning to 439,000 BTCs, worth over $47 billion, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">according </a>to data from bitcointreasuries.net, more than double from last year.
The company uses proceeds from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them">equity and debt financing</a> to add to its Bitcoin portfolio. As Bitcoin rallies, causing a surge in MicroStrategy stock's value, the firm issues more equities and interest-free convertible bonds to buy more Bitcoin.
Calamos Advisors LLC, a major hedge fund, described MicroStrategy's play as an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42331483/michael-saylors-bitcoin-strategy-drives-microstrategys-490-surge-hedge-fund-cio-says-its-an-extreme-example-of-volatility-monetization"> "extreme example" </a>of volatility monetization.&nbsp;
However, critics like David Trainer, CEO of New Constructs LLC, have deemed it a "giant house of cards" that would erode shareholders' wealth when it crashes.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $107,320.31, up 2.67% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of MicroStrategy closed down 0.042% at $408.50 during Monday's regular session but were up 1.82% in pre-market trading.
The stock has a consensus price target of $449.5 based on the ratings of 12 analysts, with an average price target of $546.67 between Bernstein, TD Cowen, and Barclays.
