Blockstream CEO Adam Back recently strongly disapproved of a newly proposed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) aimed at shorting MicroStrategy shares. MicroStrategy, a significant player in the corporate <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> investment realm, holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin in its portfolio, making its stock closely intertwined with its performance. 
Adam Back, renowned for his advocacy of Bitcoin, <a href="https://x.com/adam3us/status/1777103918469726387">highlighted </a>the complex correlation between MicroStrategy and Bitcoin. He cautioned against the Defiance 2X Short MSTR ETF, which labeled it as “terrible” due to its reliance on shorting MicroStrategy, an entity deeply linked to the volatile world of Bitcoin.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-back-s-analysis">Back’s analysis</h2> 
ETF’s plan to short MicroStrategy with a 2x auto-rebalancing feature is risky because it’s closely tied to Bitcoin’s unpredictable price changes. He <a href="https://x.com/adam3us/status/1777105402053657067">explained </a>that if MicroStrategy’s stock drops but Bitcoin’s value rises, the ETF could lose a lot, hurting investors’ portfolios. 
Moving ahead, the analyst also highlighted concerns about the ETF’s reliance on underlying assets and automatic rebalancing, warning that these factors could eat into capital and put investor returns at risk. This skepticism underscores doubts about the ETF’s viability and ability to achieve positive results. 
Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s strategic shift towards Bitcoin investment has significantly influenced its stock valuation, with its price soaring since its beginning in the crypto market. Some investors believe MicroStrategy’s $1,631 stock and $24.42 billion market cap are excessive. However, this surge has led to debates regarding the company’s potential overvaluation, prompting the creation of the short ETF as a response to investors’ concerns.

Even though MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-centric approach has drawn market criticism, chairman Michael Saylor emphasizes Bitcoin’s long-term investment potential. This steadfast stance complicates MicroStrategy’s valuation and its effects on crypto and stock investors.
