\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKey Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strategy sold over $300 million worth of MSTR common stock to fund the latest BTC purchase. The stock\u2019s price dropped twice as much as BTC in the past few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michael Saylor announced that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) acquired an extra 3,081 Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> for about $357 million.<\/p>\n

The latest purchase increased the firm\u2019s holdings to 632,457 BTC, officially crossing the 3% of total BTC supply. Interestingly, in early August, Saylor suggested<\/a> the firm could go for 3-7% of BTC supply.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even more interesting? Most of the recent capital was raised from selling MSTR common stock.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Strategy\u2019s filing<\/a> with the SEC, it sold 875,301 MSTR shares (worth $310 million) in the past seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MSTR dilution or \u2018strategic\u2019 buys<\/strong><\/p>\n

The use of MSTR to buy BTC was noteworthy as it aligned with Saylor\u2019s new ATM (at-the-market) guidance.<\/p>\n

He recently instructed<\/a> the use of MSTR for new BTC bids even if the premium (mNAV) dropped below 2.5x, sparking criticism of stock dilution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, some analysts viewed it as a strategic move to acquire more BTC via the MSTR stock sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, renowned MSTR analyst Jeff Walton said<\/a> that MSTR was ripe for S&P 500 Index inclusion, citing its deep liquidity for being the \u201c14th largest publicly traded equity by volume.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c$MSTR now ranked 106th largest US company by market cap ($97.6B). Day 39 in a row of qualifying for S&P 500. 14th largest publicly traded equity by volume.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, it\u2019s unclear when the MSTR will be included in the index.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BTC pullback hits MSTR harder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MSTR didn\u2019t handle the recent BTC pullback so well. <\/p>\n

The reason is \u2013 while BTC dropped above 10% from over $124K to $110K, MSTR dumped nearly twice as much (20%) from $457 to $325.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Obviously, this wasn\u2019t surprising since MSTR has always offered about 2x volatility exposure to BTC due to the Strategy\u2019s massive holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the stock was below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a key level it has defended throughout 2025. As such, an extra BTC pullback below $110K could put MSTR bulls in danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
