according to Bloomberg data; MicroStrategy also announced that it was taking a roughly $284.5 million charge during its next earnings report thanks to losses related to fluctuations in the price of the digital asset. That amounts to more than its cumulative earnings since 2011.</p>\n<p>Previously, MSTR already issued convertible bonds worth around $1 billion in its quest to scoop up more of the coins, though this was the first-ever corporate bond sale with proceeds earmarked for such purchases.</p>\n<p>Naturally, news of the offering sparked both praise from the diamond hand crew, as well as scathing criticism from the crypto skeptics:</p>\n<p>“The $400 million in debt isn’t being used to fund an acquisition or growth. It’s being used to speculate on a volatile asset,” said Marc Lichtenfeld, chief income strategist at the Oxford Club. “Does MicroStrategy even have a business anymore or is it simply a proxy for Bitcoin -- with borrowed money?”</p>\n<p>The answer is obvious, and considering the move in the stock in the past year, it has been a great strategy... so far.</p>\n<p>News of the offering come in a day when the crypto space tumbled...</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/56d960dbf024a8edf236e8b6dbbdf8f8\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"258\">... after the latest dose of FUD from China (how many times can Beijing credibly ban bitcoin before investors start asking if this is just a daily jawboning tactic to distract from the disastrous reception of the digital yuan).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c5879516c43c0287caab5fc0cdd9642\" tg-width=\"512\" tg-height=\"210\"></p>\n<p>Saylor has been one of leading advocates of converting company cash to Bitcoin, saying that the Federal Reserve’s relaxing of its inflation policy helped convince him to invest MicroStrategy’s reserves. The company’s disclosures around Bitcoin and its foray into the digital-assets space served as one of the catalysts to the coin’s red-hot rally in 2020 and early 2021, before it tumbled last month. The coin on Monday traded just over $32,000 down more than 50% from its mid-April record.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

by comparison, the average junk bond yields just about 4%) for the sole purpose of buying bitcoin,earlier today MSTR CEO Michael Saylor confirmed that the transaction had been consummated with the company buying 13,005 bitcoin at an average price of $37,617 for a total of $489 million.\nThe transaction has cemented MSTR's status asthe largest corporate hodler of bitcoin, with a total of 105,085 bitcoin acquired for $2.741 billion or an average price of $26,080.\n\nPutting these numbers in context, the amount purchased using junk bond proceeds was more than $100 million higher than the company’s entire operating cash flow since 2016, according to Bloomberg data; MicroStrategy also announced that it was taking a roughly $284.5 million charge during its next earnings report thanks to losses related to fluctuations in the price of the digital asset. That amounts to more than its cumulative earnings since 2011.\nPreviously, MSTR already issued convertible bonds worth around $1 billion in its quest to scoop up more of the coins, though this was the first-ever corporate bond sale with proceeds earmarked for such purchases.\nNaturally, news of the offering sparked both praise from the diamond hand crew, as well as scathing criticism from the crypto skeptics:\n“The $400 million in debt isn’t being used to fund an acquisition or growth. It’s being used to speculate on a volatile asset,” said Marc Lichtenfeld, chief income strategist at the Oxford Club. “Does MicroStrategy even have a business anymore or is it simply a proxy for Bitcoin -- with borrowed money?”\nThe answer is obvious, and considering the move in the stock in the past year, it has been a great strategy... so far.\nNews of the offering come in a day when the crypto space tumbled...\n... after the latest dose of FUD from China (how many times can Beijing credibly ban bitcoin before investors start asking if this is just a daily jawboning tactic to distract from the disastrous reception of the digital yuan).\n\nSaylor has been one of leading advocates of converting company cash to Bitcoin, saying that the Federal Reserve’s relaxing of its inflation policy helped convince him to invest MicroStrategy’s reserves. The company’s disclosures around Bitcoin and its foray into the digital-assets space served as one of the catalysts to the coin’s red-hot rally in 2020 and early 2021, before it tumbled last month. The coin on Monday traded just over $32,000 down more than 50% from its mid-April record.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"MSTR":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1317,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166543574,"gmtCreate":1624019701498,"gmtModify":1703826706694,"author":{"id":"3573352215405905","authorId":"3573352215405905","name":"Xiap","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ece01af1ceb6c672868338ef43f0269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573352215405905","idStr":"3573352215405905"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"goooo","listText":"goooo","text":"goooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166543574","repostId":"2144757377","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1337,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161709887,"gmtCreate":1623939534249,"gmtModify":1703824085950,"author":{"id":"3573352215405905","authorId":"3573352215405905","name":"Xiap","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ece01af1ceb6c672868338ef43f0269","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573352215405905","idStr":"3573352215405905"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161709887","repostId":"2144490227","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144490227","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1623935592,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2144490227?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 21:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed is about to shift gears, but this time it may be different","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144490227","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 17 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve officials, increasingly confident the U.S. economy is recovering","content":"<p>June 17 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve officials, increasingly confident the U.S. economy is recovering fast from the pandemic-induced recession, have begun telegraphing an exit from the central bank's extraordinarily easy monetary policy that so far is smoother and signaled to be speedier than when the reins were tightened after the last crisis.</p>\n<p>Though policymakers have yet to agree on a plan, most expect that by the end of 2023 they will have raised the Fed's benchmark short-term interest rate at least twice from the current near-zero level, forecasts published by the central bank on Wednesday show.
