MSTR stock is moving sharply lower today amid a significant unrealized loss from its Bitcoin holdings and a planned $5 billion in crypto sales. The stock opened with a -1.9% gap and has continued to fall, hitting a session low of $89.21. The broader crypto-linked equity sector is under pressure as Bitcoin slides below $63,000, dragging down related stocks.
What Happened
Strategy Inc reported a second-quarter loss of $8.2 billion due to Bitcoin’s decline, with an unrealized markdown of $8.32 billion on its holdings. The company plans to sell up to $5 billion in Bitcoin, intensifying concerns about further price pressure on its treasury and stock value. The stock is trading at $91.24 as of the latest update, with volume at 5.6 million shares, nearly triple its 3-month average. The stock’s beta of 3.54 highlights its volatility relative to the broader market. Meanwhile, H.C. Wainwright reiterates a Buy rating with a $325 price target, while Benchmark lowers its target to $435 from $570. The CEO, Phong Le, emphasized the importance of holding liquid US dollars amid the downturn.
What The Data Shows
The stock has fallen 3.6% over the last eight sessions, from $101.40 to $97.74, with a 52-week range of $81.81 to $414.36. Unusual options activity shows heavy call buying, with a total call premium of $37.9 million versus $1.6 million in puts. The largest single options print was $31.7 million. Insiders have sold $23.5 million worth of shares in the last 90 days, while only $1.0 million was bought. Recent SEC filings show director Jarrod Patten sold shares on three separate dates in June and July.
What To Watch
The company is expected to provide further clarity on its capital strategy and Bitcoin sales in the coming weeks. Investors should monitor earnings developments and any follow-up analyst ratings as the stock remains highly sensitive to Bitcoin price movements.
