MSTR•MicroStrategy shares slid 3.6% to test a key long-term support trendline, echoing a 2.4% drop for Coinbase and a 3.3% slide in Bitcoin. Barclays reiterated a Buy rating on MicroStrategy even as the company trims its Bitcoin treasury holdings under a new strategy.
1. MicroStrategy Tests Long-Term Support
Shares of MicroStrategy fell 3.6% today, touching a long-term ascending trendline that has marked key pullback levels over the past year. The decline tracked similar moves in other crypto treasury names, with Coinbase down 2.4% and Bitcoin off 3.3% on the session.
2. Barclays Upholds Buy Rating Despite Bitcoin Sales
Barclays analysts confirmed a Buy rating on MicroStrategy shares, highlighting the company’s enterprise software growth prospects as a counterbalance to its reduced Bitcoin holdings. The firm’s new treasury strategy has seen it sell a portion of its cryptocurrency reserves, which Barclays views as a de-risking step rather than a negative signal.
