Why MSTR stock is plunging 

The steep decline followed remarks from CEO Phong Le, who acknowledged that the company could sell part of its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings if specific conditions are met. He outlined two triggers: a scenario where Strategy’s share price falls below its market-implied net asset value, and a situation in which the firm can no longer raise capital through its usual channels.

The possibility of a Bitcoin sale marks a significant departure from the company’s long-standing stance of holding its cryptocurrency reserves indefinitely, unsettling investors who viewed that commitment as central to its identity and valuation.

Investor concerns deepened further after the company established a $1.44 billion cash reserve, intended to secure dividend payments and meet future obligations. While presented as a proactive financial safeguard, the move was widely interpreted as a sign the company is preparing for a more challenging environment, especially as Bitcoin continues to struggle below the $90,000 mark.

The stock’s decline also mirrors ongoing weakness in the broader cryptocurrency market. Strategy’s valuation has become increasingly tied to Bitcoin’s performance, leaving its shares vulnerable when digital-asset prices fall. With Bitcoin under renewed pressure, the company’s leveraged exposure has exacerbated the sell-off.

Notably, the slump has dragged the company’s market capitalization down to roughly $45 billion, placing it below the value of its massive Bitcoin reserves.

Strategy’s Bitcoin holding 

Strategy currently holds 650,000 Bitcoin, worth about $55 billion at current market prices. Despite a week without adding to its position, the company disclosed on Monday that it purchased an additional 130 Bitcoin for $11.7 million, funded through the issuance of common shares.

The numbers highlight an unusual disconnect where Strategy’s market cap is now about $10 billion below the value of its Bitcoin holdings. After accounting for $8.2 billion in debt, its net Bitcoin assets stand at $46.8 billion, still $1.8 billion above its current valuation, excluding cash.

This growing gap reflects investor concerns over Strategy’s leveraged Bitcoin strategy, crypto market volatility, and doubts about how long the company can continue expanding its Bitcoin position.

Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation

The post Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hoskinson confirmed for Senate roundtable on U.S. crypto regulation and market structure. Key topics include SEC vs CFTC oversight split, DeFi regulation, and securities rules. Critics call the roundtable slow, citing Trump’s 2025 executive order as faster. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has confirmed that he will attend the Senate Banking Committee roundtable on crypto market structure legislation.  Hoskinson left a hint about his attendance on X while highlighting Journalist Eleanor Terrett’s latest post about the event. Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.  Related: Senate Draft Bill Gains Experts’ Praise for Strongest Developer Protections in Crypto Law Notably, the upcoming roundtable between US legislators and crypto industry leaders is a continuation of the process of regularising cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation. He cited…
