MicroStrategy’s aggressive bitcoin bet is facing its toughest test yet. The stock has plummeted amid false rumors of billion-dollar BTC sales, while CEO Michael Saylor doubles down on his "buy every day" strategy. With Bitcoin below $95K and technical breakdowns looming, we analyze whether MSTR is a bargain or a falling knife—backed by on-chain data, market trends, and exclusive insights from the BTCC research team.
Why Is MicroStrategy’s Stock Crashing?
The software-turned-Bitcoin-holding company saw its shares nosedive 44% over the past year, hitting a 52-week low of $171.80 (€171.80). The sell-off accelerated this week when blockchain trackers flagged large BTC transfers from MicroStrategy wallets, sparking rumors of a $1 billion liquidation. On-chain analyst Ted quickly debunked the FUD—it was just internal wallet reshuffling. But the damage was done. "This shows how fragile crypto markets are to misinformation," noted a BTCC market strategist. "One misinterpreted transaction can trigger panic selling."
Michael Saylor Fights Back: "We’re Buying More Bitcoin Daily"
The CEO went on CNBC to slam the rumors: "We’ve bought Bitcoin every single day this week." His social media "HODL" post—a nod to crypto’s diamond-hand culture—went viral. The numbers back his claim:
- 641,692 BTC held (worth ~$61.4B at press time)
- Daily purchases continued despite market turmoil
- Debt obligations secured for 4.5 years
But here’s the rub: MicroStrategy now trades at just 1.2x its Bitcoin holdings’ value (mNAV ratio), down from 3x earlier this year. Either the market thinks BTC will drop further… or this is a historic discount.
Technical Analysis: Is the 200-Week SMA the Last Hope?
Charts paint a grim picture. MSTR is testing its 200-week moving average ($138)—a make-or-break level that’s held since 2020. Key Fibonacci retracement levels have already broken. The perfect storm:
- Bitcoin under $95K for the first time since May 2024
- Fed rate cut expectations evaporating
- Crypto-wide liquidation cascades
"MicroStrategy is essentially a Leveraged Bitcoin ETF," observes TradingView analyst CryptoEd. "When BTC sneezes, MSTR gets pneumonia."
The Big Question: Buy, Hold, or Bail?
Value investors see blood in the water—MSTR’s mNAV hasn’t been this low since 2022. But with the SEC still blocking spot Bitcoin ETFs and macro headwinds mounting, others warn of "catching falling knives."
- BTC accumulation at relative lows
- Institutional adoption continuing (BlackRock’s ETF inflows hit $12B this month)
- Historical precedent: MSTR rebounded 300% post-2022 crash
- BTC miner capitulation intensifying
- Tether’s USDT premium turning negative in Asia
- CME gap at $88K yet to be filled

FAQs: Your MicroStrategy Dilemma Solved
How much Bitcoin does MicroStrategy own?
As of November 2025: 641,692 BTC (~$61.4B). They’ve added ~2,000 BTC this month alone.
Why is MSTR more volatile than Bitcoin?
It’s a "beta play"—the stock amplifies BTC’s moves due to its leveraged treasury strategy and market sentiment.
Should I buy MSTR instead of Bitcoin?
Only if you want exposure to Saylor’s strategy (and corporate risks). For pure BTC price action, consider BTCC’s spot markets.
