Bitcoin buying intensifies as equity offerings fuel accumulation

In March 2026, Strategy expanded its bitcoin holdings by acquiring over $1.6 billion in bitcoin during a two-week interval and purchased an additional 1,031 coins valued at approximately $76.5 million, with funding sourced from at-the-market sales of its Class A common stock. The company also disclosed major equity offerings, including a $21 billion MSTR stock program and a similar STRC program, accompanied by related preferred stock issuance initiatives. Corporate focus, led by Michael Saylor and Phong Le, remained on leveraging capital structure for bitcoin accumulation through these actions, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Strategy Inc. maintaining a clear downtrend, with persistent selling pressure across all key moving averages. He notes that large-scale bitcoin purchases and ongoing equity offerings have yet to restore investor sentiment or reverse the technical damage. The company's reliance on stock sales to accumulate bitcoin raises dilution risks, further undermining long-term value. In Kharitonov's view, the baseline scenario suggests weak upside prospects, with all four weekly indicators confirming vulnerability. "Without a decisive regain above resistance, I see further downside as the path of least resistance," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes Strategy Inc.'s proactive capital raising and aggressive bitcoin accumulation lay the groundwork for future upside. He sees management's confidence and preferred equity initiatives as positioning the company to benefit from bitcoin market cycles. The underlying bullish structure remains intact despite current pressures. "This disciplined expansion signals further growth potential once short-term headwinds fade," Karapetjanc emphasizes.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes the current setup as a sentiment-driven range, with technicals reflecting seller bias but short-term trade opportunities between $130.74 and $136.45. He highlights how recent news of bitcoin accumulation has failed to spark upward momentum, keeping risk skewed to the downside. Turakhiya notes traders should watch for breakouts or breakdowns at these defined levels. "I would stay nimble and look for quick setups as volatility could rise from here," he advises.

Sustained seller dominance amid compressed support and resistance

Strategy is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($138.58, $141.74, and $262.15 respectively), indicating persistent seller control across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The nearest dynamic levels are support at the Ichimoku Kijun ($135.34) and resistance near the 50-day moving average.

Earlier, analysts noted that persistent technical weakness and ongoing capital-raising efforts to fund Bitcoin acquisitions were keeping Strategy under seller dominance. The latest price action and continued expansion of both equity and preferred stock programs reinforce a downside bias, making a sustained break below $130.74 the key risk for further declines in the near term.
