Bitcoin accumulation expands as capital strategy counters weak price

Strategy Inc. acquired an additional 3,015 bitcoin for approximately $204.1 million, bringing total holdings to 720,737 BTC. The purchase was financed through the issuance and sale of Class A common stock and various preferred stock instruments, including the STRC perpetual preferred shares. At the same time, the company increased the annual dividend rate on its STRC preferred stock from 11.25% to 11.50%, effective for monthly periods beginning March 1, 2026, and declared dividends across other preferred share classes for March 31, 2026. These actions formed part of the company's ongoing capital markets strategy aimed at expanding its bitcoin treasury, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights persistent structural weakness in MicroStrategy's technical setup. He notes the price trading below both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with only modest near-term support. Kharitonov points to continued bearish momentum and high volatility, dismissing recent bitcoin acquisitions as insufficient to change market sentiment. He views the elevated preferred share dividends as a capital cost that could further pressure equity value. "Until there is a decisive break above $136.53, I see the risk of further price erosion as uncomfortably high."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees MicroStrategy’s expanded bitcoin holdings and bold capital markets strategy as enhancing long-term prospects. He emphasizes that strengthening the treasury aligns with a constructive macro trend for institutional BTC adoption. Karapetjanc believes the recent dividend increases on preferred shares underscore management’s confidence in future cash flows. "I remain positive: the bullish structure remains intact as these actions position the company for further growth."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees conflicting technical signals dominating short-term price action. He reads momentum and oscillator divergence as a sign of choppy, range-bound trading in the days ahead. Mehta suggests tactical traders watch for a breakout or breakdown from the $136.53 level for potential entries. "If selling pressure pushes the price below support, a contrarian bounce may emerge for nimble traders."

Bearish momentum holds as oscillators signal indecision and volatility

Momentum signals remain weak based on both daily MACD and ADX, showing ongoing bearishness. While the daily RSI at 49.81 and CCI at 89.90 are neutral to mildly bullish, Stoch RSI and BBP indicate overbought conditions, all against a backdrop of daily losses (down 2.61%). There was a modest gap down at the open, and with price currently in the upper half of today’s range, volatility has been high and sellers maintained control after the open. Momentum and oscillator signals diverge, suggesting uncertainty and choppy intraday action.

Previously it was reported that Strategy Incorporated is trading above its short-term moving average but remains well below medium- and long-term averages, signaling short-term support amid sustained downside pressure and mixed momentum signals. Key resistance sits at $136.53, with support near $127.90, and the probability of further downside outweighs bullish prospects given prevailing bearish indicators from MACD, ADX, and recent intraday weakness.
