Strategy shares jump as much as 14% to about $94 after board approves $1.25 billion bitcoin-sale plan
Strategy said it has launched a Digital Credit Capital Framework, authorizing up to $1.25 billion in bitcoin sales to build a U.S. dollar reserve, fund preferred dividends, and service debt, while also approving $1 billion in common stock buybacks and $1 billion in preferred-security repurchases. The company also lifted the annual dividend rate on its STRC preferred stock to 12%. The steps eased investor concerns about liquidity and capital efficiency, pushing the stock up as much as 14% to roughly $94. Other bitcoin-linked names including Coinbase also rose, with improved risk sentiment lending support to the Nasdaq index.

Michael Saylor comments as Strategy’s MSTR and STRC slide to 52-week lows
Strategy’s common shares and its STRC preferred have both hit 52-week lows, with MSTR down more than 80% from its all-time peak and STRC trading about 26% below its $100 par value. Bitcoin’s drop to $58,000 has pushed the company’s unrealized loss above $14 billion, versus an average cost basis of $75,680 per coin. With mNAV below 1.0, the stock-and-preferred issuance model that has financed bitcoin purchases is under pressure. Meanwhile, annual preferred dividend obligations have climbed to $1.2 billion in six months as cash reserves have fallen 38%, cutting dividend coverage to about 14 months.

Strategy shares drop to $98.83, breaking below $100 for the first time since 2024
Strategy (MSTR) fell to $98.83, marking its first drop below $100 and leaving the stock down more than 80% from its November 2024 peak. The company holds 847,363 BTC worth about $53 billion at current prices, but with an average cost of roughly $75,656 per coin it is sitting on an unrealized paper loss of more than $11 billion. Recent steps including a BTC sale, a discounted convertible-bond repurchase and a reduced dividend-coverage buffer have added to concerns about its financial resilience. While the move does not directly hit traditional assets, MSTR’s role as a volatile Nasdaq-listed tech stock closely tied to the crypto narrative could reinforce risk-off sentiment toward high-valuation tech if the slide persists.

JPMorgan says bitcoin has traded below its $78,000 all-in mining cost for five months as BTC hovers near $63,000
JPMorgan says bitcoin is trading near $63,000, well below the industry’s average all-in production cost of about $78,000, extending loss-making mining conditions for five straight months. The bank estimates roughly 20% of miners are unprofitable, and says listed operators including RIOT and MARA sold a combined 32,000 bitcoin in Q1 to fund expenses. It also points to weaker fundamentals, with hashprice around $33/PH/s/day alongside declines in hashrate and mining difficulty.
