According to Gate market data, the stock price of Strategy has fallen below 100 dollars, reaching a new low since March 2024, currently reported at 99.4 dollars, with a decline of over 4%.

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the current Bitcoin purchasing behavior of Strategy resembles a "liquidity absorber" rather than an effective price catalyst.He pointed out that in the past two years, Bitcoin's market capitalization has increased by $467 billion, yet the price has actually dropped by 1%, indicating that the influx of large amounts of capital has merely resulted in a transfer of chips without driving up the price. In the current environment with obvious selling pressure, continuous buying by Strategy may only serve to maintain the range rather than truly drive an increase.Ki Young Ju suggested that Strategy pause Bitcoin purchases until cash reserves and dividend coverage capabilities are restored; establish a systematic, model-driven buying framework to avoid the market impression of "always buying at local highs"; and create a disciplined selling mechanism in the next bull market to reduce leverage and realize shareholder value by partially taking profits at highs, while accumulating reserves of "dry powder" for future lows.He believes that this cycle is different from previous ones, as Bitcoin has been in a sideways trend for nearly two years, neither forming a strong bull market nor experiencing sufficient panic selling and weak hands clearing out. The market may need a more thorough clearing to initiate a healthier rebound.

According to Jinshi, the US dollar index has strongly broken through, raising market doubts about Trump's weak dollar strategy. Although Trump hopes to achieve a weak dollar, his policies seem to have led to a stronger dollar instead. Currently, the "war dollar" has receded, and the "interest rate dollar" is dominating the market, with the future direction of the dollar drawing significant attention.

According to the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily," at the 2026 Volcano Engine Force Conference, ByteDance officially released the latest flagship version 2.1Pro of the Doubao large model. Tan Dai, President of Volcano Engine, stated that the model has made breakthroughs in four dimensions: code delivery, long-range Agent tasks, multimodal understanding, and enterprise-level stable operation, possessing stronger engineering delivery capabilities and being capable of handling complex R&D tasks for enterprises. At the conference, ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo also emphasized that the company will focus on enhancing large model capabilities and firmly invest in MaaS (Model as a Service) business.The report pointed out that ByteDance's AI strategic focus is clearly shifting towards enterprise-level services. Currently, the daily token call volume of the Doubao large model has reached 180 trillion, an increase of over 1500 times since its release, and has grown more than 10 times in the past year. However, due to the bottleneck in monetization on the consumer side and high expenses (with daily computing costs reaching tens of millions and daily revenue below one million), ByteDance has accordingly adjusted its resource allocation. Meanwhile, the video generation model Seedance, primarily aimed at the B-end, has validated its commercialization potential, with current annual recurring revenue (ARR) reaching 2 billion dollars, effectively offsetting Doubao's computing costs. In addition, the new version of Seedance will also be the first in the industry to launch a 3D white membrane preview feature.

According to The Block, Benchmark Equity Research reiterated its buy rating on Strategy (MSTR) and maintained its target price of $570. This target price still has about a 406% upside compared to Friday's closing price of $112.53.Although Strategy's perpetual preferred stock STRC experienced a significant sell-off last week, dropping to around $83, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer stated that STRC is not a stablecoin and does not have a Terra/Luna-style reflexive mechanism. Its essence is a perpetual preferred stock, backed by over 847,000 bitcoins (approximately $55 billion) held by Strategy.Palmer believes that the decline of STRC is not a "de-pegging," but rather a reset of the market's required yield. The company currently has about $1.4 billion in cash reserves, which can flexibly support dividend payments. Benchmark views this sell-off as a stress test of its financing model, rather than a structural deterioration.

Founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, posted on the X platform stating that Strategy has increased its dollar reserves by 300 million dollars to 1.4 billion dollars and plans to continue replenishing reserves to support the credit quality of its digital credit securities.At the same time, Strategy purchased 520 BTC for 35 million dollars, increasing its BTC reserves to 847,363 coins.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor has once again released information related to the Bitcoin Tracker and stated, "Looks better with more dots."According to previous patterns, Strategy always discloses information about increasing Bitcoin holdings the day after relevant news is released.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has dropped about 40% since Strategy launched the Bitcoin financing tool STRC. STRC has fallen below the $100 par value, sparking discussions in the market about the sustainability of Michael Saylor's Bitcoin "flywheel" model. Strategy currently holds over 846,000 BTC, but the recent buying pace has noticeably slowed. Data shows that the company increased its holdings by 1,550 BTC worth approximately $101 million in the week ending June 8; in the week ending June 15, it added another 1,587 BTC worth about $100 million. In contrast, in April 2026, it bought 34,164 BTC in a single week, amounting to $2.54 billion, indicating a significant decrease in recent capital inflows.Meanwhile, Strategy previously sold 32 BTC to meet dividend obligations. Although this amount is small compared to its overall holdings, the market believes this indicates that when STRC's financing efficiency declines, the company's cash flow pressure may increase. STRC was originally designed as a preferred stock tool trading close to the $100 par value, attracting investors through dividend adjustments and helping Strategy raise funds to purchase Bitcoin. Currently, the STRC price has fallen to a historical low, having once dropped to $82.53, and then closed at $88.59, about 13% below par value. Critics argue that the STRC price falling below par value means that Strategy's financing channels are under pressure.Long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff described STRC as "like a typical centralized Ponzi structure," believing that the model relies on continuous financing or selling Bitcoin to maintain operations. Crypto trader DonAlt also questioned STRC's recent performance, stating that its trading behavior resembles a "Ponzi structure." However, some analysts believe that the decline in STRC is more due to leveraged liquidations rather than a deterioration in Strategy's fundamentals. STRC had previously maintained a price around $99 to $100, attracting investors to use leveraged trading, and the price falling below this critical level triggered forced liquidations, exacerbating the decline.Analyst Scott Melker pointed out that STRC's current yield has actually increased due to the discount. Since dividends are calculated based on a $100 liquidation preference, if the STRC price is $90, the 11.5% annualized dividend corresponds to an actual yield of about 12.8%; if the price drops to $85, the yield could exceed 13%. Strategy is expected to announce the next STRC dividend adjustment on June 30. The market is currently focused on whether STRC's discount will persist and whether Strategy's model of relying on capital markets for financing to continue increasing BTC holdings can remain stable.

Pioneer of crypto punk Adam Back stated that the market's negative view on Strategy and its preferred stock STRC lacks basis, as what Strategy is essentially doing is selling Bitcoin to pay dividends, without changing its Bitcoin reserve strategy, and is precisely "proving that it is possible to pay returns to investors through Bitcoin while reducing debt ratios."Adam Back further pointed out that Strategy is demonstrating a new financial model to the market, where Bitcoin may become an alternative asset to cash for corporate asset management and capital operations in the future, while the FUD sentiment surrounding MSTR and STRC is exaggerated. Strategy will not "go to zero," and its long-term value lies in continuously holding Bitcoin and promoting the market's understanding of Bitcoin's monetary properties.

Michael Saylor posted a review of Strategy's Bitcoin strategy journey, stating that in October 2022, when he gave a related speech, the price of Bitcoin was around $20,000. At that time, Strategy held 130,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.6 billion, and the stock price of MSTR (after stock split adjustment) was about $24. A few weeks later, Bitcoin fell below $16,000, and the company's debt once exceeded the total value of BTC and cash reserves of about $300 million, with MSTR's stock price also dropping to around $13 by the end of 2022. Strategy then insisted on executing the Bitcoin strategy, strengthening company operations, and continuously financing to invest in BTC.Since 2022, the company has raised over $60 billion in new capital, which has been used to purchase Bitcoin, increasing its holdings by over 716,000 BTC. Currently, the value of BTC and cash reserves held by Strategy is approximately $48 billion higher than the company's debt, and it will continue to adhere to a long-term strategy in the future.
