Highlights

Strategy Inc. made its largest Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 22,337 BTC for approximately $1.57 billion in a single transaction.
The deal was primarily funded by issuing 11.9 million perpetual preferred shares, signaling a strategic financing shift for further Bitcoin accumulation.
Technicals suggest MSTR is range-bound with short-term bullish signals, but faces downside risk unless support at $135.30 holds amid weak longer-term momentum.

Record bitcoin purchase drives asset growth despite selling pressure

Strategy Inc. executed its largest Bitcoin purchase to date, acquiring 22,337 BTC for approximately $1.57 billion. The transaction was primarily funded through the issuance of 11.9 million perpetual preferred stock (STRC) shares, raising $1.18 billion, while $396 million was sourced from Class A common stock sales. Total corporate Bitcoin holdings increased to over 760,000 BTC, and this funding shift towards preferred stock was a notable change in the company’s approach, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights that MSTR shows mixed momentum while remaining capped by long-term resistance near the MA-200. He notes selling pressure persists despite the company's large Bitcoin purchase, with funding shifts failing to lift the stock out of its declining trend. Kharitonov finds overbought oscillators and a weak ADX troubling, seeing a risk of further near-term downside. He warns that price remains vulnerable as technical support is tested and consolidation prevails. "Current signals favor sellers, and I am skeptical that recent news can change the broader bearish dynamics for MSTR."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees MicroStrategy’s strategic Bitcoin acquisition and new preferred share issuance as a positive shift in capital structure. He believes such aggressive accumulation reinforces the company's long-term bullish thesis on digital assets. Karapetjanc points out that, while short-term pressure persists, the overall bullish structure remains intact as price holds above key support levels and buyers retain influence on momentum readings. "With disciplined execution and improved funding, I expect further growth potential for both the core business and underlying Bitcoin exposure going forward."

Divergent momentum signals emerge amid post-gap selling

Momentum is mixed as MACD and ADX on the daily show neutrality, while the ADX reading remains weak at 16.09. Although the daily RSI is supportive at 57.85, Stoch RSI and CCI both indicate overbought conditions, and BBP signals buyers still have the upper hand intraday. AO also aligns with the buy direction, confirming recent upward strength. MSTR gapped lower from $150.28 to open at $144.99 and has since slipped 4.74%, currently trading near today’s low within a moderate volatility session. The overall intraday tone reflects continued pressure after the open, while oscillators show a clear divergence between supportive momentum and early reversal signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that Strategy’s bullish short- and medium-term momentum was overshadowed by persistent long-term bearish pressures and overbought technical conditions. The current analysis strengthens this cautious stance, highlighting that while buyer interest remains evident, traders should closely monitor the key $135.30 support level for signs of a potential downside continuation.
