On February 3rd, it was reported that Bitcoin briefly fell below $76,000 this week, causing Strategy’s stock price to drop 7% in a single day. More notably, the 713,502 Bitcoins held by the company are nearly at their average cost basis, approximately $76,052. This means that Strategy’s holdings have shifted from a simple corporate financial allocation to an important reference point influencing market sentiment and price expectations.
Currently, Strategy controls about 3.57% of the total Bitcoin supply. CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn pointed out that this scale has transformed it from a “bullish” observer to a “structural” factor itself. On-chain data shows that approximately 61% of circulating Bitcoins are above the current price, while 39% are below, and Strategy’s massive position straddles this balance zone.
Despite price pressures, Strategy has bought an additional 855 Bitcoins at an average price of $87,974, pushing the marginal cost higher. These new assets were already at a paper loss when purchased, further increasing the company’s sensitivity to capital and market conditions.
Unlike traditional trading leverage, Strategy’s risk stems from its balance sheet. Its Bitcoin purchase funds mainly come from equity issuance, convertible bonds, and other capital instruments. SEC filings show that the company still has hundreds of billions of dollars in potential financing capacity, but this model could also create a feedback loop: Bitcoin declines → stock prices weaken → financing ability diminishes → buying power is limited, thereby weakening market support.
On-chain indicators also signal caution. Realized market value has stagnated, and SOPR remains below 1, indicating short-term holders are still in loss and exiting. If spot trading volume and institutional capital momentum cannot recover, a rebound may be difficult to sustain.
In the current structure, $76,000 is no longer just a price level but more like a psychological and mechanical anchor for the market. Future trends will depend on the delicate balance between Bitcoin’s price, Strategy’s stock price, and access to capital markets.
