Is Wall Street Targeting Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) With Bitcoin Selloff?

Amid the Bitcoin price turbulence over the last week, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) has been on investors’ radar with some citing liquidation risks if BTC falls under certain threshold. Some analysts state that Wall Street players are deliberately pushing BTC down to put pressure on MSTR as well as other leveraged proxies.

Is Wall Street Targeting Michael Saylor With Bitcoin Selloff?

Bitcoin is facing huge volatility, plummeting back to $83,000 after a brief surge to $93,000 following the announcement of the US strategic reserve. This pump and dump has led to liquidations at both ends.

Popular BTC evangelist Mike Alfred raised concerns about potential market manipulation by major Wall Street players targeting Bitcoin. He suggests that these entities may be attempting to drive Bitcoin’s price lower to exert pressure on Michael Saylor Strategy (MSTR) and other leveraged firms tied to the cryptocurrency.

“If they can bring BTC down far enough, it could undermine the favorable conditions these companies depend on for funding,” he stated. Furthermore, if the MSTR stock falls below a certain threshold, Michael Saylor might be forced to sell BTC to service the debt, thereby creating a vicious loop. However, amid the sharp market correction last week, Saylor has advised his followers to hold Bitcoins tightly and not panic under market reaction.

MSTR Stock Sees Selling Pressure

The MSTR stock price has crashed more than 27% over the past month, slipping to $250 levels as of press time. With strong selloff on Wall Street amid the Trump tariff war, the stock is down by another 4.30% in the pre-market trading on Monday.

Michael Saylor’s last 13 Bitcoin acquisitions are now experiencing significant losses, with a record $1.95 billion in unrealized losses to date. If Bitcoin’s price drops below $60,000 in the near future, MicroStrategy could face mounting financial pressure, potentially forcing the company to sell its holdings, noted analyst Jacob King. He further added:

“In case you’re wondering why he’s on X/CNBC every day, throwing out numbers like “Bitcoin will hit a $200T market value”—it’s because he’s facing liquidation and desperately trying to fuel the bubble”.

Amid today’s crypto market selloff, the Bitcoin price is currently trading 8.9% down at $82,990.12 triggering over $400 million in liquidations. Top industry leaders believe that Bitcoin can further fall to $70,000 before starting the next bull rally.
