MicroCloud Hologram Invests $15.8 Million in Strategy Shares. What This Means for HOLO Stock.

Chinese holographic company MicroCloud Hologram (HOLO) recently revealed that it has acquired 140,268 shares of the world's largest Bitcoin (BTCUSD) treasury, Strategy (MSTR) (formerly MicroStrategy). The investment, valued at about $16 million, is MicroCloud's first in Strategy. The company cited Strategy's prominent portfolio of Bitcoin-related assets as the rationale for the investment, as it looks to continue to grow its overall digital asset footprint.

The market reacted positively to the news, as shares of HOLO ended about 3% higher in Friday's trading session and are up over 7% today. However, on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, it is down 27% and about 57% over the past year. Why? This can be attributed to the lack of clarity on where its core business truly lies.

In just about a dozen years (the company was founded in 2014), MicroCloud Hologram has dabbled in several businesses, ranging from holography to quantum computing. In between, it is also building a portfolio of financial assets, of which the latest Strategy investment was a part. The company is headquartered in China, yet the holding company is listed in the Cayman Islands.

Currently, the company reports two operating business segments, and both are related to holograms, its traditional business, which includes holographic LiDAR, LiDAR point-cloud algorithm structure, holographic imaging, LIDAR sensor-chip design, and holographic cloud algorithms, among others. Customer concentration risk remains a core issue of this supposedly core business of the company, with close to half of the revenues coming from the five largest customers, and the largest customer accounting for about one-fifth.
