Strategy Stock Rises: Bitcoin Rally and Short Squeeze
Strategy (MSTR) shares rose approximately 12% to $104 during the August 19 trading session. The move was directly triggered by Bitcoin approaching the $70,000 level. A short squeeze in the cryptocurrency market led to approximately $2 billion in liquidations, while the US Treasury's expansion of its long-term bond repurchase program also increased demand for risk assets.
The company is the world's largest institutional Bitcoin holder with 840,447 BTC. The average cost per Bitcoin is approximately $75,476. Because this cost is above the current Bitcoin price, the company still has a significant unrealized loss in its portfolio. A large portion of the $8.2 billion loss reported in the second quarter stemmed from this loss in value. The fact that the stock price is trading at a discount compared to Bitcoin assets (mNAV ratio around 0.60x) is considered an attractive level for some value-oriented investors.
Technically, MSTR is testing the psychological $100 level. The average 12-month target price of analysts is around $275. However, the high volatility of the stock and its sensitivity to the Bitcoin price could bring sharp fluctuations in the short term. Whether Bitcoin can maintain its position above the $70,000 level, the progress of the CLARITY Act in the Senate, and whether Strategy will resume Bitcoin purchases will be the main factors determining the stock's direction in the coming period.
