$Strategy(MSTR)$ MSTR essentially functions like a closed-end fund, and most of them use about one-third leverage. The typical approach to buying CEFs is twofold: first, when you believe the underlying assets have bottomed, and second, when the share price trades at a significant discount to the net asset value per share.

That's essentially what the figures below indicate. Last week, MSTR hit a 43% discount to its assets at the $81 price level, which is quite extreme. Purchasing at a discount means you're acquiring more assets per share than the current price reflects, offering a higher level of protection. Even if the asset value declines, you own them at a much lower cost.

Currently, the discount implies you own the assets at roughly 27% below their reported value per share.
