10x Research posted on X platform recently, emphasizing that MicroStrategy's valuation has been too high in the past few weeks. Investors are severely overpaying for indirect exposure to Bitcoin, rather than using it as a true leveraged investment in Bitcoin. Despite acquiring a large amount of Bitcoin, the stock's performance has been poor, indicating that investors are no longer willing to purchase Bitcoin through MicroStrategy at an implied price of $200,000 or higher, but can buy it directly at a lower price.

This shift highlights investors' increasingly rational attitude, who previously accepted MicroStrategy as an unofficial term for "Bitcoin leveraged investment".
