Why is everyone so obsessed with MSTR? It’s like watching paint dry, but with stocks! 🚀

  • Oh, look! U.S. jobs data finally gave MSTR a sugar rush. Who knew paycheck reports could be so exciting? 😂
  • QCP Capital warns, “Hold on tight, folks! It’s gonna be a bumpy ride before U.S.-China tariffs calm down.”

Strategy’s (formerly MicroStrategy, which sounds like a fancy breakfast cereal) stock, MSTR, is having itself a little moment. Thanks to a mid-week rally and Bitcoin running around like it’s got a new leash, everyone’s talking.

On Tuesday, the Nasdaq nudged up 0.81%, and the S&P 500 sneaked ahead by 0.58%. Ooh, a whole 2% weekly rally! Big deal, right? But hey, every little bit helps when you’re chasing those shiny digital coins.

The secret? U.S. jobs data showed more openings than a busy Taco Bell—who knew that the jobs market could be so optimistic? According to crypto folks at QCP Capital, this made risk assets feel a little more confident.

“A surprise rise in job openings has buoyed risk sentiment ahead of Friday’s pivotal payrolls print. The S&P 500 is inching closer to the key $6,000 level.” Yeah, because when the economy sneezes, the stock market catches a cold. Gesundheit! 🤧

MSTR’s Big Bet: Bitcoin and More Stocks, Oh My!

But wait—there’s more! MSTR’s little Tuesday pump was thanks to a new preferred stock, Stride (STRD). Basically, Strategy’s saying, “Let’s borrow some cash and buy more Bitcoin.” Genius, right? Or just gambling with everyone’s retirement funds? You decide.

According to Dylan LeClair at Metaplanet, STRD is like STRF’s rebellious cousin—less protection, more risk, and Saylor’s coming for the entire fixed income market. Sounds like a good idea if you’re into rollercoasters and thrill-seeking. 🎢

“$STRD is $STRF without all of the protections in place; non-cumulative, non-mandatory dividends, junior to $STRF. Saylor is coming for the entire fixed income market.” Yeah, risk is fun! 🔥

Another genius, Jeff Walton, called it “history in the making.” Because who doesn’t want to make history with a lot of money, right? Well, Strategy’s got a mountain of cash—literally—580,955 BTC worth $60 billion, bought at $40 billion. So, they’re sitting on a $20 billion profit, just chillin’. 🙄

Anyway, MSTR’s stock shot up 5% on Tuesday to $387, then decided to take a little nap and dropped some of those gains. Classic. As of now, it’s down 3% at $376. Because what’s better than a rollercoaster? A rollercoaster with a slight dip. You gotta love it. In Q2, it’s up 28%, while Bitcoin’s up 22%. Not too shabby, but don’t get too comfortable—markets are like that friend who promises to meet you at 7 and shows up at 8:30.

MSTR stock chart

Oh, and by the way, QCP Capital is warning us that June and Q3 could be bumpy. Tariffs, U.S. debt debates, monetary fireworks—sounds like a season finale of a bad reality show. They say Bitcoin might just stay in its little range, like a cat ignoring the laser pointer. 🐱

“Q3 could bring more turbulence. Tariffs may start to hit macro data, and fiscal noise around the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ and debt ceiling could stir headline volatility. Without a strong catalyst, $BTC may continue to drift within its current range.” Because if there’s one thing markets hate, it’s stability. 🙄

So, in the end, MSTR is all linked to Bitcoin’s mood swings. Today it’s up, tomorrow it might be down, like a stock market version of a teenager’s attitude. At press time, it’s at $376, down 3%, following Bitcoin’s brief dip below $105K. Be prepared for the rollercoaster, my friend. 🎢
