Strategy's stock plummets as Bitcoin's volatility drags performance down
Strategy's stock has faced sharp declines in recent weeks, closely tracking Bitcoin's volatile movements. The company's heavy reliance on cryptocurrency has left its share price exposed to sudden swings, with losses accelerating over the past month. By Friday's close, shares had fallen to €109.55, marking a 3.10% drop for the day.
Since late February 2026, Strategy's stock has struggled, continuing a downward trend or fluctuating between €109 and €134. This follows fresh four-week and 52-week lows recorded in early February, despite a brief 26% surge on February 6 when Bitcoin jumped from $60,000 to $71,000. Over the past three months, the stock has underperformed, dropping roughly 23% in four weeks, 63% over six months, and 55% over a year.
The company's financial health remains tightly linked to Bitcoin, holding around 717,722 BTC—valued at $58.9 billion as of late February. However, its Q4 2025 earnings revealed a $42.93 per-share loss, largely due to new accounting rules for unrealised Bitcoin losses. Despite raising over $25 billion to expand its crypto holdings, analysts maintain a cautious outlook, with price targets near $406 even as volatility persists.
Recent pressure on the stock also stems from high short interest, now at about 14% of its market value. Yet, some institutional investors are still drawn to Strategy's preferred shares, with firms like Prevalon Energy, Anchorage Digital, and OranjeBTC adding them to their treasuries.
Strategy's share price has now lost 17.35% over the past 30 days, reflecting broader uncertainty in crypto markets. The clash between its Bitcoin-focused strategy and heavy short-selling continues to shape its performance. With institutional interest in its preferred shares but persistent volatility, the company's trajectory remains closely tied to Bitcoin's next moves.
