Derived from Coindesk, Strategy (MSTR) shares fell 12.5% to a 15-month low on Monday amid a bitcoin price crash and a $1.44 billion stock sale to fund preferred dividends. Despite bitcoin remaining near session lows, MSTR shares recovered most of their losses, closing down just 3.25%. The company announced it had sold common stock to raise cash for the next 21 months of preferred dividends, a move that triggered heavy selling from investors concerned about dilution. Analyst Peter Schiff criticized the strategy, calling it a 'fraud' and predicting the 'beginning of the end' for MSTR. However, some investors remain cautious, noting Schiff's history of premature bearish calls.
