MicroStrategy is splitting its stock to make it more accessible to investors and employees. The 10-for-1 stock split of class A and class B common stock aims to lower the share price, attracting a broader range of investors and providing more opportunities for employees4.

MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, announced a 10-for-one stock split on Thursday4. The shares rose about 6%, but are about 34% off an all-time high of $1,999.99, reached in March. The move comes amid a lull in the price of bitcoin, which has been stuck in a tight range since about March but which many investors expect to rebound in the second half of the year.
