As Bitcoin’s most recent surge helps revitalize a stock that was in a severe decline for almost six months, MicroStrategy is finally beginning to show signs of life again.
MicroStrategy Rebounds as Crypto Momentum Finally Turns
MicroStrategy entered the week cautiously following months of heavy losses, but a strong rise in Bitcoin has sharply improved sentiment and helped the stock recover from its prolonged downturn. After five months of relentless selling pressure that dragged MSTR from the $450 region to the low $160s, the company is now showing one of its strongest technical reversals in recent memory. Tuesday’s surge in crypto markets, with Bitcoin climbing back toward $94,000, drove MSTR higher by more than 5% and brought shares within reach of the $200 level once again.
Bitcoin’s Volatility Continues To Dictate MicroStrategy’s Path
The company’s stock has effectively become a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin’s direction, with every major crypto swing reflected—often exaggerated—in MSTR’s daily price action. Last week, the stock opened with yet another gap lower near $168, but selling pressure began to cool, and price action has since turned decisively upward.
MSTR Chart Daily – The 20 SMA Acting A Support Now
Technical indicators confirm this shift: MicroStrategy bounced cleanly off the 200-week simple moving average and reclaimed the important $190 level, which had acted as stiff resistance through October and early November.
MSTR Chart Daily – Rebounding Off the 200 SMA
This week’s rally also pushed MSTR back above the 20-day simple moving average, marking the first meaningful break of its bearish structure in months. If momentum holds, a move beyond $200 would set the stage for a recovery toward $250 and potentially $300—as long as Bitcoin continues attracting fresh buyers.
Analysts Maintain Strong Optimism Despite Recent Rout
Despite the stock’s prolonged slide, analysts remain overwhelmingly bullish. Benchmark reaffirmed its Buy rating with a striking $705 price target, suggesting more than 300% potential upside from recent levels. Many analysts argue that the 60% correction from summer highs left MSTR deeply oversold relative to both its long-term Bitcoin strategy and its corporate fundamentals. With Bitcoin stabilizing and technical indicators turning positive, several research desks expect the company’s next phase to be driven by renewed institutional inflows.
JPMorgan Index Warning Sparks Controversy
MicroStrategy’s decline intersected with a fresh round of industry controversy after JPMorgan suggested the company could be removed from MSCI indices, potentially triggering up to $2.8 billion in forced selling. If other index providers followed suit, the bank projected that outflows could swell to nearly $9 billion. The reaction from the crypto community was swift and hostile.
Critics—including investor Grant Cardone—accused JPMorgan of deliberately targeting MicroStrategy and its shareholder base, fueling a backlash amplified by existing public scrutiny surrounding the bank’s past scandals. The episode added a new layer of tension around a stock already pressured by market volatility.
Leadership Reaffirms—and Slightly Refines—Its Bitcoin Doctrine
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor continues to champion the company’s Bitcoin-first identity, reiterating in recent interviews that MicroStrategy’s long-term vision remains anchored in BTC outperformance versus traditional assets. However, in a notable shift, CEO Phong Le acknowledged that the company could theoretically sell Bitcoin under extreme conditions.
He outlined two requirements: MSTR shares would need to fall below the value of the company’s Bitcoin holdings, and management would need to lose access to capital markets. While still highly unlikely, the acknowledgment represents the first time MicroStrategy has outlined a scenario where selling BTC is possible.
MicroStrategy’s Long-Horizon Bet
In a striking statement that underscored the firm’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin-first strategy, Phong Le — CEO of Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) — sought to calm investor nerves on CNBC’s Power Lunch following a sharp Bitcoin downturn that wiped out more than $500 million in liquidations. Le made it clear the company has no intention of selling any of its Bitcoin reserves until at least 2065, positioning the move as a long-term conviction rather than a reaction to short-term market turbulence.
Institutional Participation Expands as Capital Strategy Evolves
MicroStrategy and its affiliate, Strategy Inc., continue to broaden their capital initiatives. In November, Strategy issued 3.5 million euro-denominated Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Shares—offering a 10% yield exclusively to institutional investors in Europe and the U.K.—with proceeds expected to support further Bitcoin acquisitions and strategic growth.
Meanwhile, major institutions continue to take positions. CalSTRS, one of America’s largest pension funds, recently disclosed a $133 million stake, signaling that MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-based model is gaining legitimacy even among traditionally conservative investors.
Massive Bitcoin Holdings Amplify the Company’s Transformation
MicroStrategy now holds approximately 660,624 BTC, accumulated at an average purchase price of $74,433. This enormous treasury—now worth nearly $58 billion—remains the central pillar of the company’s valuation and identity.
Recent earnings highlight the scale of this shift: second-quarter net income soared to $10.02 billion, with earnings per share at $32.60 and revenue at $114.5 million. Growth was driven in part by the company’s Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock program, which gives institutional investors structured exposure to Bitcoin’s performance.
