Risk Factors
John McAfee’s departure
Stock price will remain volatile and correlated with bitcoin’s price until investors realize it is not just a “price of bitcoin” play.
Bottom Line
MGT mines digital assets to fund the continued development of their business. At present, they also hold a portion of their mined coins giving investors exposure to the growth of an emerging asset class.
This is a position to research for investors that believe cryptocurrency mining will continue to be profitable. With additional upside potential if one of their current or future products gain market share as an anti-hacking and/or privacy play. They could also realize value from these projects if they choose to sell to prioritize their mining operations.
