Bitcoin's plunge to $111,000 over the past 24 hours makes those holdings worth about $70.2 billion in U.S. Monday morning hours.
Last week's bitcoin buys were mostly funded via sales of common stock, from which the company raised $300.9 million. Modest sales of three of the four MSTR preferred stock issues accounted for the rest of funding.
Michael Saylor and Strategy last week drew the ire of at least some of their fans, revising a pledge to never sell common stock when the price was below 2.5x mNAV.
MSTR, of course, has been under considerable pressure over the past few weeks and mNAV — a measure of the multiple of the company valuation versus its bitcoin holdings — has been well under 2x for some time.
MSTR is lower by more than 4% premarket alongside the steep slide in bitcoin.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
