Strategy’s Bitcoin Position: Long-Term Conviction

The firm’s average dollar-cost average (DCA) stands at $68,478.47 per BTC, meaning the current unrealized gain is significant. With Bitcoin still up 37.61% all-time from its aggregate cost basis, the company’s BTC allocation continues to drive long-term net asset value (NAV) growth.

Strategy’s stock (MSTR) is trading at $394.37, giving the firm a market capitalization of $107.82 billion.

This reflects a NAV premium of 2.07x, with NAV per share currently estimated at $205.56, based on 253.76 million outstanding shares.

Key Bitcoin Price Levels to Watch

According to technical charts, $98,000 remains the immediate resistance that Bitcoin must flip into support to make a sustained move above $100,000. However, the short-term priority remains a daily close above $95,000, which was lost on May 4 following profit-taking pressure.

If bulls regain strength and BTC closes above $95,000, momentum could shift back in favor of buyers. One potential catalyst is continued demand from spot Bitcoin ETFs, which saw $1.8 billion in net inflows last week, according to data from Farside Investors.

Another influential factor will be the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision on Wednesday, which could affect risk appetite across financial markets, including crypto.

Bearish Scenario: Below $92,000 Signals Weakness

On the downside, if Bitcoin fails to reclaim $95,000, sellers could push the price lower. A loss of support at $92,000 would expose BTC to a retest of the 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) near $90,000.

A deeper correction could bring BTC into the $85,000 to $75,000 zone, a region that would erase all gains since the 90-day tariff pause began and mark a more meaningful shift in sentiment.
