Potential Risks in Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Due to Market Fluctuations
Recent insights from technical analyst Tony Severino suggest potential vulnerabilities in Strategy’s Bitcoin investments due to current market trends. Severino outlined that the 200-day Moving Average (MA) for Bitcoin is below the average purchase price of the company’s Bitcoin assets, indicating a risk of unrealized losses.

Bitcoin’s 200-Day MA Indicates Potential Stock Vulnerability
In a recent post on X, Tony Severino highlighted that historically, every Bitcoin bear market has touched the 200-week Moving Average. Currently, this average is positioned at $47,000, which is significantly 30% below the cost basis of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings. Severino further noted that this cost basis stands merely $5,000 above the most recent market low recorded in April 2025.
The analyst cautioned that a further decline in Bitcoin’s price, leading to a new market low, could place the company’s Bitcoin investments underwater. Following a recent acquisition of 13,390 Bitcoins, Strategy now holds a substantial 568,840 BTC, purchased at an aggregate cost of $39 billion, averaging $69,287 per Bitcoin. This acquisition price remains notably above the 200-week MA of $47,000.
Previously, Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, asserted that Strategy would only face financial jeopardy if Bitcoin’s price plummeted to $16,000—a scenario he deemed highly improbable. Consequently, Ju maintains a confident outlook that Strategy will not need to liquidate its Bitcoin reserves in the near future.
Conversely, some experts, including the well-known economist Peter Schiff, have voiced skepticism regarding Strategy’s persistent Bitcoin acquisitions. Schiff recently critiqued that their next purchase might elevate their average cost above $70,000, which is concerning given the financial leverage involved in these transactions. He warned that the theoretical losses on paper could transform into tangible financial setbacks.
Optimism for Bitcoin’s Market Potential
Despite the risks, some crypto analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s upward potential in the current market cycle, which bodes well for Strategy’s holdings. The analyst known as Titan of Crypto expressed in an X post that Bitcoin still has room for growth, as indicated by the monthly LMACD, which has not yet turned bearish. Historically, such a crossover has signaled the peak of past cycles.
Given this context, the 200-week MA for Bitcoin could increase as the cryptocurrency approaches a peak in this cycle. Crypto analyst CrediBULL predicted that the leading cryptocurrency might surge to between $150,000 and $200,000 during this bull market. Moreover, Standard Chartered has projected that Bitcoin reaching $200,000 by the year’s end is within the realm of possibility.
As of the current analysis, Bitcoin’s price is approximately $102,000, reflecting a decrease over the past 24 hours, based on data from CoinMarketCap.
