MSTR stock faced a significant drop today, falling below $300 for the first time since April. This decline follows a continuing downtrend in Bitcoin price, which recently dipped below the key $110,000 mark. The connection between MSTR and Bitcoin is clear, as Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings directly affect its stock performance.
MSTR Stock and Bitcoin Correlation Intensify
The drop in MSTR stock is closely linked to the plummeting Bitcoin price. As of today, MSTR is trading at $294, down over 8% on the day. This marks a troubling turn for Strategy, which has been struggling as Bitcoin dropped to an intraday low of $108,713.
Peter Schiff, a known critic of Bitcoin, warned that the ongoing slump could lead to a “brutal bear market” for companies like Strategy, heavily invested in the cryptocurrency. Schiff expressed concerns that these companies, including Strategy, may not survive the downturn.
“The market for BTC treasuries will face a brutal bear market, and many companies may fail,” he remarked in an X post.
While so many companies have been busy copying @Saylor's harebrained business strategy, few have noticed that $MSTR is down 45% from its Nov. 2024 high. This is going to be a brutal bear market for Bitcoin Treasury companies. I'm not sure if any, including MSTR, will survive it.

The MSTR stock, heavily reliant on Bitcoin’s performance, has seen a significant decline in the past month. Over the last 30 days, it dropped more than 13%. With today’s drop, MSTR has lost all of its year-to-date gains and is now nearly 2% in the red.
Schiff Criticizes Strategy’s Bitcoin Accumulation Plan
Analyst Peter DiCarlo highlighted that MSTR stock is facing a critical juncture. He pointed out that the stock, after briefly holding support, failed to bounce back as expected. According to DiCarlo, MSTR stock is now sitting at the THT point of control, pressing into the smart money zone.
$MSTR is breaking down after briefly holding support.
The bounce we expected from that flow a few weeks back never came.
Now price is sitting at the THT point of control and pressing into the smart money zone.

DiCarlo further explained that if MSTR fails to hold at this level, it could face further declines. His chart analysis indicates that the stock could fall to as low as $240. He warned that MSTR stock might be in serious trouble over the coming months if this support level breaks.
Despite the decline in MSTR stock, Michael Saylor and Strategy have continued their Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Last week, they added 850 BTC to their holdings, bringing their total to 639,835 BTC. This purchase cost Strategy $47.33 billion, and they have been selling MSTR shares to fund these acquisitions.
Peter Schiff criticized Strategy’s business model, stating that Saylor’s approach to Bitcoin accumulation is “harebrained.” He noted that the MSTR stock has dropped 45% from its November 2024 high of $473. Schiff believes this reflects a larger trend, warning that more companies will face difficulties if they follow this strategy.
