MSTR slides 12% after class-action lawsuit

Strategy’s new purchase reflects Saylor’s philosophy of acquiring Bitcoin no matter how high the prices are, as he previously vowed to keep buying Bitcoin at the top forever in late 2024.

In the meantime, Strategy’s shares have been tumbling from their all-time highs recently, losing at least 12% in the past week, with prices falling from around $420 to $369, according to TradingView data.

The highest historic closing price on record for MSTR stock was around $474, recorded on Nov. 19, 2024.

The recent drop in Strategy shares came after the company was hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company had misrepresented Bitcoin investments. Filed on May 19, the suit seeks to recover losses of shareholders who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud in April 2025.
