MSTRUSDT closed this week at 164.66 USDT, down 0.11% on the weekly chart. There were 33 posts and 3,696 views on Plaza discussing Strategy’s rising market cap ranking, but the perpetual contract price didn’t follow the buzz higher: this week’s close was below its open of 164.84 USDT. This week, discussion heat and price direction went their separate ways.
The week’s real move came on 2026-10-01: it opened at 153.43 USDT and closed at 161.22 USDT, up 5.08%, lifting the price from the 153.44 USDT close on September 30. After that, it rose 1.9% on October 3 and 0.89% on October 4, reaching 164.85 USDT. It then pulled back 0.3% on October 5 to close at 164.35 USDT, before edging up 0.19% on October 6 to close at 164.66 USDT. In other words, after that bullish candle, the price traded back and forth between 164.85 USDT and 164.35 USDT, without making further headway. The daily chart moved sideways for several days.
A popular post on Plaza argued that Strategy’s rising market cap ranking is worth watching, on the grounds that growing attention at the publicly traded company level could influence sentiment around MSTRUSDT (paraphrased; this does not represent this site’s views). My take is that this is a narrative-based judgment, not an established fact; neither the weekly nor the daily chart showed evidence of follow-through this week. MSTRUSDT is a USDT-margined perpetual contract on a U.S. stock, whose trading hours differ from those of the crypto market. The gap at the open may be more pronounced, so when watching the market, don’t focus only on topics like rankings—first check where the daily candle closes.
A hard truth: in 35 weekly samples, 18 weeks were stronger than this one. The gains of 30.27% on 2026-06-29 and 28.64% on 2026-08-17 are only obvious in hindsight. During a sideways week, high leverage and funding fees are what really eat into your capital. #StrategyMarketCapRankingRise
