Group 2: Investment Behavior - Investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin's performance as a barometer for future risk appetite, with many believing that a recovery in Bitcoin could signal a rebound in the stock market by year-end [4][12]. - The "free money" effect previously allowed companies to create shareholder wealth by simply announcing spending, particularly in AI and data center construction, but this is no longer translating into stock price increases [4]. - Digital asset reserve companies (DATs) like MicroStrategy (MSTR) have seen their valuations decline as the market questions the returns on their significant investments in cryptocurrencies [5].
