Trade Strategy (MicroStrategy) in Mexico

Strategy (MicroStrategy) (MSTR) is tradable as a perpetual from Mexico: the legal status, working funding rails and the practical route are below.

Is Strategy (MicroStrategy) trading legal in Mexico?

Banco de México's Circular 4/2019, published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on 8 March 2019, states the policy in its own recitals - it is considered appropriate to keep a healthy distance between virtual assets and the financial system - and then enforces it: credit institutions and licensed fintech institutions (ITF) may carry out virtual-asset operations only as internal operations, only with Banxico's prior authorisation, and an application is expressly ineligible for that authorisation where the institution intends to provide its clients directly with exchange, transmission or custody of virtual assets. So a Mexican bank or an authorised fintech cannot sell you crypto; that trade happens at venues that sit outside the ITF licence, and outside the consumer protections attached to it. Nothing here prohibits a person from buying, holding or selling crypto.

Buying $1,000 of MSTR at 5x uses $200 of collateral. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer to your entry: your exposure is the position size, whatever margin you posted. Set a stop-loss below your entry before you walk away.
