MicroStrategy's market capitalization has seen its largest four-day drop in history, raising questions about the company's status as a leveraged Bitcoin investment vehicle.

The company's market value has fallen more than 35% from its peak on November 21, wiping out more than $30 billion.

In a post on X on November 26, The Kobeissi Letter said this was the biggest four-day drop ever for the business intelligence firm.

“MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock, just plummeted 35% from its November 21 peak. That’s about $30 billion in market capitalization wiped out in four trading days.”

MicroStrategy shares fell 7.5% in the 24 hours to 4:52 p.m. ET on November 27, trading at $354.1, according to data from TradingView.

The stock drop coincided with Bitcoin’s correction after hitting a record high of around $99,800 on November 22.

However, Bitcoin and MicroStrategy have posted strong gains on a broader time frame. Over the past month, Bitcoin has surged 44% while MicroStrategy has gained more than 32%. On a yearly chart, Bitcoin has posted a 146% return while MicroStrategy has gained more than 599%.

Many investors are viewing MicroStrategy as a leveraged bet on the price of Bitcoin, with the stock expected to outperform the returns of the world's top crypto asset.

However, MicroStrategy's recent 35% drop, more than four times Bitcoin's correction, raises concerns about the stock's volatility as a proxy for Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy's Volatility Caused by Retail Investors

This volatility is a sign that more retail traders are taking an interest in the market, The Kobeissi Letter writes:

“Last Wednesday alone, retail investors bought about $42 million worth of MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock. This was the largest single-day retail purchase on record and more than eight times the daily average recorded in October.”

Retail investors bought nearly $100 million in MicroStrategy shares over the past week, with interest fueled by the company's $2.6 billion bond offering.

Some of the world's largest traditional institutions are investing in Michael Saylor's company, including Allianz. Europe's second-largest insurer bought more than 24% of MicroStrategy's $600 million bond offering in March.
