MSTR

Thursday brought a wave of volatility to the crypto sector. Major crypto-related stocks like Coinbase (COIN), MicroStrategy (MSTR), and Marathon Digital (MARA) dropped between 4% and 5%, while newcomer Circle – the issuer of USDC – made a dazzling debut on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with its shares (CRCL) soaring by as much as 168%.

🔹 Capital Rotation Hits Established Players

Investors appear to be rotating funds toward promising new IPOs. MicroStrategy lost 2.46%, erasing its recent gains, despite founder Michael Saylor continuing to aggressively increase the firm’s Bitcoin holdings – adding 705 BTC earlier this week.
Coinbase closed 4.61% lower at $244, even after a strong 25% rally over the past month. Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital also saw a drop of over 5%, signaling overall bearish sentiment among publicly traded crypto firms.

🔹 Circle IPO Grabs Wall Street's Attention

Circle went public at $31 per share and quickly surged to an intraday high of $103.75 before closing at $83. Trading volume reached over 46 million shares—far exceeding its free float—and marking one of the year’s most eye-catching IPOs.
However, not everyone is cheering. Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes compared the surge in crypto IPOs to the 2017 ICO boom, saying:
“This is the beginning of mania,” he wrote on X. He warned that a wave of crypto IPOs could drain substantial fiat capital from the market.

A former Goldman Sachs tech IPO analyst added that early IPO price jumps are often engineered by bankers to attract retail investors. He recommends waiting 90 to 180 days post-IPO before considering entry, as this allows the market to better assess the true value.

Strategy – formerly MicroStrategy – is once again grabbing investor attention. On Tuesday, its MSTR stock rose by 5%, driven by a combination of positive macroeconomic news and the company’s bold move to further expand its Bitcoin holdings.

📈 Markets Rebound on Strong Job Data
U.S. equity markets rallied midweek – the Nasdaq gained 0.81%, the S&P 500 rose 0.58%, and overall the week’s gains stood at 2%. According to crypto trading firm QCP Capital, this optimism was fueled by an unexpected jump in job openings, boosting investor sentiment ahead of key employment data later in the week.
QCP noted that the S&P 500 is inching closer to a critical 6,000-point threshold.

🪙 Strategy’s Bitcoin Bet Gets Bigger
The real buzz, however, came from Strategy’s announcement of a new preferred stock issuance – Stride (STRD) – aimed at raising capital to purchase more BTC.
Analyst Dylan LeClair highlighted that STRD carries fewer investor protections compared to STRF, making it riskier but giving the company greater financial flexibility. “Saylor is taking over the fixed income market,” he commented.
Another analyst, Jeff Walton, called the move “a historic moment,” as Strategy continues to aggressively increase its BTC holdings.
Currently, Strategy holds 580,955 BTC, worth approximately $60 billion, with an average acquisition cost around $40 billion – giving the company $20 billion in unrealized gains at today’s prices.
MSTR stock closed Tuesday at $387, though it retraced slightly Wednesday morning. Still, the stock is up 28% in Q2, outperforming Bitcoin, which rose 22% over the same period.

⚠️ But Uncertainty Looms Ahead
Despite the current optimism, QCP Capital warns that June and Q3 could be bumpy for BTC, citing potential macro headwinds such as new U.S.–China tariff talks, debt ceiling concerns, and Trump’s proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which could shake up the markets.
According to QCP, without a strong bullish catalyst, Bitcoin may remain rangebound – a scenario that could slow MSTR’s momentum, given its tight correlation with BTC price movements.
At the time of writing, MSTR is trading at $376, down 3%, after Bitcoin briefly dipped below $105,000.

Despite Bitcoin prices plummeting, the tech company MicroStrategy continues to reinforce its position in the crypto market. With the 12th consecutive purchase, MicroStrategy has raised its total Bitcoin holdings to an astonishing number.
Largest Bitcoin Purchase To Date
In the past week, MicroStrategy spent 1.1 billion USD to purchase an additional 10,107 Bitcoin at an average price of 105,596 USD/BTC, according to shares from #MichaelSaylor – the co-founder and Chairman of the company.
