Strategy’s stock price remains tightly linked to Bitcoin, which traded near $83,000 on October 12 after a roughly 4% weekly decline, with MSTR closing the prior session at $154.34. The company added 250 BTC between October 5 and 11 at an average $86,194, lifting holdings to 848,250 coins funded partly through $21 million in at-the-market MSTR share sales that contributed to dilution concerns. This marked the second consecutive week of sharply reduced purchases while the firm allocated $192 million to repurchasing preferred shares. Traders are monitoring $160 resistance and Wednesday’s U.S. inflation release, which could shift rate expectations and risk-asset flows. Analyst price targets range from $175 to substantially higher, reflecting the leveraged exposure to Bitcoin’s trajectory.
