BTC Slide Tests MSTR’s ‘Digital Central Bank’ Thesis

Bitcoin’s price slipping below Strategy’s average cost basis near $76,000 creates a near-term psychological hurdle for the stock, but the piece argues this is a structural reset rather than a disaster. Strategy has a modular capital stack—issuing stock above NAV and a suite of perpetual preferreds (STRC, STRF, STRK, STRD)—plus about $2.25 billion in cash, which cushions dilution and funds ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions. With a Strong Buy consensus and substantial upside if crypto recovers, the long-term bull case remains intact despite near-term volatility.
