Year's Hottest Crypto Trade Crumbles as Prices Tumble

Imagine you could invest in a company that only buys a popular toy, like bitcoin.

For a while, many people thought buying shares of these companies was a great way to make money, even more than just buying the toy itself.

So, people started buying shares of these companies, making them very valuable.

But recently, the price of the toy (bitcoin) has gone down a lot.

This means the companies that only own the toy are now worth less.

Some investors are sad, but others, like the founder of MicroStrategy, still believe the toy will become popular again and are buying more.

Some experts think it was a bad idea to pay extra for these companies in the first place when you could just buy the toy directly.
