How to buy MicroStrategy shares

Easy steps to invest in MicroStrategy stock in the UK.

With Michael Saylor at the helm, MicroStrategy (MSTR) is less about enterprise software these days and more about its massive Bitcoin (BTC) stockpile - investing billions into the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Watching the MicroStrategy stock price on a daily basis is enough movement to give you whiplash.

With a balance sheet heavily weighted towards its Bitcoin war chest, its share price moves in tandem with crypto market sentiment. For those looking for a leveraged Bitcoin play, buying MicroStrategy shares provides exposure with volatility in abundance. But, its dependence on Bitcoin’s price movements makes it a high-risk, high-reward investment.
