The chart listed a Bitcoin portfolio value of $58.92 billion and total holdings of 671,268 BTC as of Dec. 28, 2025. It also showed an average cost basis of $74,972 per Bitcoin, alongside a displayed gain of 17.08%, equal to about $8.6 billion.

StrategyTracker’s panel counted 91 purchase events in the selected range. Meanwhile, a dotted line tracked the average purchase price over time, rising in steps as new buys pushed the cost basis higher while the orange markers clustered more heavily in the later part of the timeline.

MSTR trades near $165 as post pitches upside tied to Bitcoin holdings

Strategy Inc. shares traded around $165 on a one hour TradingView chart as an X post from Invest Alpha Pro called the stock a buy and tied its case to the company’s Bitcoin position. The post pointed to holdings of more than 671,000 BTC, then argued the equity could reprice if Bitcoin moves higher and if the market values the balance sheet closer to its Bitcoin based net asset value.

The TradingView view showed a choppy December tape, with a peak near the upper $190s earlier in the month and a sharp selloff that pushed price into the low $160s. After that drop, price moved sideways, which signals that sellers lost momentum, while buyers still have not forced a clean recovery back into the prior range.

If Bitcoin holds firm and pushes higher, MSTR often shows amplified moves because the stock links to Bitcoin exposure plus leverage from corporate financing and investor positioning. In that setup, a break above the recent consolidation band could open room for a retest of prior swing levels from earlier in December. However, if Bitcoin weakens again, the same linkage can pull MSTR back toward the recent lows, because traders typically compress the premium when risk appetite fades.

Claims about a large gap between market cap and BTC NAV, analyst targets, and dilution buffers can drive short bursts of demand, yet price usually confirms the story, not the other way around. As a result, the next directional signal likely comes from whether MSTR can reclaim the post selloff resistance zone from mid month, while Bitcoin’s trend decides whether that leverage works for or against the stock.
