Interest rates play an important role in the equity markets. When rates are high, it can discount the present value of future cash flows, which can put pressure on growth stocks such as MicroStrategy. This is because the majority of MicroStrategy's profits are expected to be realized in the future. Higher interest rates increase a company's cost of capital.
