  • Mad Money TV host Jim Cramer advised direct Bitcoin purchases.
  • Cramer scolds MicroStrategy’s shares despite an 87% YTD return.
  • MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor’s BTC stash soared past $13B.

The controversial financial analyst Jim Cramer has dropped another bomb on his audience by claiming that Bitcoin (BTC) is a better investment than MicroStrategy stock (MSTR). In the latest episode of Mad Money hosted on CNBC, Cramer advised his audience, “If you want exposure to Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin directly,” firing shots at Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Inc., as the large institutional enterprise is known for hefty BTC investments.

Cramer is known for his frequently incorrect remarks, sometimes even sparking rallies for Bitcoin or the alternative cryptocurrencies he advised against. This time, the urge to avoid MicroStrategy shares comes despite MSTR’s 87% year-to-date run, with the asset performing below Bitcoin’s 130% year-to-date profit. As of press time, MSTR trades at $1,270.

Previously, Cramer had a backward effect on Bitcoin’s movement and even launched an Inverse Cramer ETF to capitalize on the opposite outcome. If the Inverse Cramer theory still holds, recommending buying BTC directly could impose an extra challenge for the leading digital asset. As of press time, BTC trades at $61,828, with a 1.8% drop over the past 24 hours.

On the Flipside

  • Alongside Tuesday’s stagnant Bitcoin (BTC) price movement, the drawdown below $62,000 comes with substantial sell pressure on Spot markets.
  • Over the past 24 hours, there have been $5.67 billion in sales in BTC, in comparison to $1.32 billion in BTC bids, according to CoinPaprika data.
