Strategy buys 250 more bitcoin: the MSTR daily chart

What the filing shows

According to Bitcoin Magazine, the latest purchase lifts Strategy's holdings to 848,250 bitcoins, valued at $70.2 billion at prices on the day of the report. The company, formerly called MicroStrategy, has now bought bitcoin in each of the past four weeks. Before that it bought irregularly for months and at times paused for long stretches to build cash.

The funding detail matters. The bitcoin was paid for with net proceeds from MSTR share sales held in what the company calls its USD Cash buffer. Strategy keeps two cash pools. USD Reserve covers dividends on its preferred shares and interest on its debt. USD Cash is the pool used for bitcoin purchases.

The STRC buyback is the larger number in the filing. Strategy now emphasises yield-paying preferred shares: STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD.

Why it matters for MSTR

MSTR is a stock built around bitcoin holdings. The company first bought bitcoin in 2020, citing protection for shareholders against inflation, and has since turned itself into a bitcoin treasury company.

Bitcoin Magazine reported that MSTR has lost over 50% in the last year, following a drop in the bitcoin price, while it has risen nearly 1,000% since the company began buying bitcoin in August 2020. On Monday the shares were up nearly 2%. Those figures describe very different windows, which is a reminder to always check the period behind a percentage. The risk runs both ways: a stock tied this closely to one volatile asset can fall as sharply as it rises.

What the MSTR chart shows

Chartora's data, based on Yahoo Finance daily closes as of 2026-10-12, put MSTR's last close at $152.68. Trend structure is a range on daily closes: no clear sequence of higher or lower swing points. A swing point is a close above or below the four closes on each side of it.

The nearest resistance zone is $164.55, a swing high from 2026-10-06, about 7.8% above price. The nearest support zone is much further away, at $126.18, a swing low from 2026-09-16, about 21.0% below price. That gap means there is little nearby structure underneath the current price.

MSTR sits above its 50-day average of $131.01 by 16.5%; the 50-day average is a simple mean of recent daily closes and a common gauge of the medium-term trend. Over 90 days the stock is up 18.0%, and it trades 82% of the way from the 90-day low of $82.31 to the high of $168.50, in the upper part of that range.

Bitcoin's chart in the background

Bitcoin itself, on Bybit daily closes as of 2026-10-13, last closed at $81,394. Its structure is a downtrend on daily closes, with lower highs and lower lows, even though it is up 27.5% over 90 days. Price sits just above the 50-day average of $81,094, by 0.4%. Nearest resistance is $86,518, about 6.3% above, and nearest support is $77,340, about 5.2% below. Bitcoin sits 78% of the way through its 90-day range of $62,823 to $86,616.

What would change the picture

For MSTR, a daily close above the $164.55 resistance zone would put the 90-day high of $168.50 back in view and start to tilt the range upward. A daily close below the 50-day average would weaken the current reading, and a close below $126.18 would break the nearest support. For bitcoin, a daily close above $86,518 would challenge the run of lower highs, while a close below $77,340 would extend the downtrend. These are conditions to monitor, not forecasts.

What to watch next

The next filings and the daily closes will show whether the current pattern holds.

• Whether the weekly buying pattern continues in the next filing.
• How the company splits cash between bitcoin purchases and preferred-share activity such as the STRC buyback.
• Bitcoin's daily close relative to its 50-day average.
