#MicroStrategy's buying again, so why is $BTC still falling?
Last week, Strategy MicroStrategy bought 1,665 $BTC, spending about $143 million, with an average price of $85,681 per coin. Strive hasn't been idle either, adding 1,107 coins. Together, the two companies bought 2,772 coins in one week.
Seeing this news, my first reaction was also, shouldn’t Bitcoin show some movement? But today $BTC is still hovering around $83,000, already below the purchase price of this batch. Buying so enthusiastically, yet the price goes down, it’s indeed a bit painful.
But there is a timing difference here. Yesterday’s announcement was about coins already bought last week; the announcement doesn’t mean another $237 million rushed into the market today to catch the dip. Current sell orders still need to be matched by current buy orders, and this week’s PCE and non-farm payroll data haven’t been released yet, so funds wanting to enter are hesitating.
I see the treasury’s increased holdings as a good sign, at least Strategy and Strive are still buying with real money. As for whether the price can rise in the short term, first let’s see if BTC can reclaim $85,000. Even big players will have unrealized losses after buying, so we don’t need to rush to chase just because we see the words “institutional accumulation.”
