Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, faces accusations of misrepresentation from Damped Spring Advisors CEO regarding comparisons to S&P 500 firms and deceptive earnings marketing. Macro analyst Lyn Alden questions the P/E ratio comparisons. Strategy shares dropped 4.35% to $372.92, though up 33% YTD. Strategy reported $10 billion profit, $114.5 million revenue in Q2.
