Strategy stock drops 8% as Bitcoin declines and issuance rules shift
Shares of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) have fallen to their lowest point in nearly four months, declining 8% this week as Bitcoin dropped 8.6% from its recent all-time high of $124,128.
The company’s decision to amend its equity issuance guidance has intensified the sell-off. MSTR now trades at $336.57, last seen in mid-April when BTC was around $84,000, reports Cointelegraph.
While crypto-aligned equities typically follow Bitcoin’s volatility, the timing of Strategy’s policy shift raised additional concerns for investors. The move comes just as market sentiment turned cautious, with BTC falling sharply below key psychological support.
Share issuance flexibility divides investor opinion
Michael Saylor announced that Strategy has revised its At-The-Market (ATM) guidance, allowing the firm to issue shares even when trading below 2.5x its net asset value (mNAV). Previously, the company had restricted such actions to covering debt or dividend obligations. The updated guidance now gives Strategy broader discretion to issue shares at a 1.55 mNAV, the current level, to raise capital.
Some investors welcomed the move as a way to accumulate more BTC, while others criticized it as a breach of prior commitments. One former shareholder called it a betrayal of trust, citing Saylor’s previous assurances during earnings calls.
Bitcoin treasury firms feel the pressure
Strategy’s stock slide mirrors broader weakness among crypto-exposed public firms. Over the past month, shares of Coinbase (COIN) are down nearly 27%, Marathon Digital (MARA) fell 19.4%, and Riot Platforms (RIOT) declined 14.7%. Analysts point to waning enthusiasm for Bitcoin ETFs, rising ETH outflows, and overall macroeconomic uncertainty as contributing factors.
Despite this, Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 629,376 BTC valued around $71.34 billion. Saylor’s strategy still hinges on long-term BTC accumulation, but the recent policy shift has reminded investors that dilution remains a risk—even in a bullish Bitcoin environment.
