out that the shares of the company reached a 52-week low, and at its current price of $136.63, the stock is down by a massive 90% from the all-time high it attained back in February 2021.
Peter Schiff is arguably the most vocal critic of the premier digital currency and is known to always call out every investment move by MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor. Known as a business intelligence and software firm, MicroStrategy became a proponent of Bitcoin when it started accumulating the digital currency back in August 2020.
Thus far, MicroStrategy has garnered as much as 132,500 Bitcoin units for approximately $4 billion. The majority of these funds wereusing the firm's excess balance sheet funds, and over the years, MicroStrategy has had to issue Senior Convertible Notes, a debt instrument, to acquire the digital assets.

As a company with deep exposure to Bitcoin, MicroStrategy's share slump is reflecting the bearish sentiment brought on by the ongoing crypto winter.
