$MSTRbator
Part of Speech: noun (slang, finance, crypto culture)
Pronunciation: /ˈɛmˌɛsˌtiːˌɑːrˈbeɪtər/
Definition:
MSTRbator (noun)
A slang, tongue-in-cheek term used to describe a hyper-enthusiastic retail investor or Bitcoin maximalist who obsessively buys, tracks, or evangelizes MicroStrategy (ticker: MSTR) stock due to its heavy Bitcoin holdings, often conflating it with direct Bitcoin ownership. The term plays on both “MSTR” (the stock ticker) and a crude pun on self-gratification, implying a level of irrational or emotional overattachment.
Usage Context:
• Commonly used in crypto Twitter, Reddit, and Bitcoin meme circles.
• Often used pejoratively or self-deprecatingly to mock overzealous MicroStrategy investors who treat MSTR like a leveraged Bitcoin ETF or a substitute for owning spot BTC.
• Reflects a cult-like admiration for Michael Saylor, MSTR’s Executive Chairman and prominent Bitcoin advocate.
Example Sentences:
• “He’s such a MSTRbator—every time MSTR dips, he maxes out another credit card.”
• “Forget ETFs, the real gigachad move is being a full-time MSTRbator.”
• “MSTRbators think Michael Saylor is the Bitcoin messiah.”
