Microstrategy Surges to 15th in Trading Volume Ranking Despite Stock Price Decline

On June 12, 2025, Microstrategy (MSTR) saw a trading volume of $35.84 billion, marking a 35.86% increase from the previous day, placing it 15th in the day's stock market rankings. However, the stock price fell by 1.90%, marking the third consecutive day of decline, with a total drop of 3.15% over the past three days.

Microstrategy's director, Carl Rickertsen, recently sold all of his shares in the company, amounting to over $10 million. This move comes as the company continues to invest in Bitcoin, highlighting a divergence in strategy between insiders and the company's overall direction. Rickertsen's sale is part of a series of insider transactions that have occurred this year, with no remaining ownership in the company.

Microstrategy's CEO, Michael Saylor, has been vocal about his belief in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. With $500 million in the company's reserves earning little to no interest, Saylor saw Bitcoin as a strategic move to protect against the erosion of value caused by inflation. This stance has been a driving force behind the company's significant investments in Bitcoin, despite the recent insider sales.
