MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Swing as BTC Dips Under $64K, Recovers to $66.7K
Bitcoin dipped below $64,000 after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran before rebounding to $66,702, triggering over $420 million in 24-hour liquidations, more than half from long positions. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index hit “Extreme Fear,” yet an analyst said peak fear is past and expects Bitcoin and equities to rally, potentially boosting MicroStrategy’s BTC-based valuation.
1. Bitcoin Price Volatility
Following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Bitcoin briefly dropped below $64,000 before rebounding to $66,702.15, triggering over $420 million in liquidations in 24 hours, with more than 50% from long positions. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index entered “Extreme Fear” territory even as retail and whale traders on Binance maintained net long exposure.
2. Impact on MicroStrategy
MicroStrategy’s substantial Bitcoin holdings saw significant valuation swings in line with the market turbulence. An analyst’s view that “peak fear” is behind us and that both Bitcoin and equities may rally over the next two months suggests a potential upside for the company’s stock driven by its crypto assets.
