Strategy’s Bitcoin Sale Draws Scrutiny but One Analyst Calls it a Tweak The company is under a growing spotlight over whether its preferred stock dividend engine can keep running if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC ) stays depressed.

Apex Chief Investment Officer Parker White stepped into that debate in a recent sit-down interview defending the company’s decision to part with a portion of its holdings at an average of around $60,197 per coin.

The proceeds went toward padding its dollar reserve and meeting the dividend commitments attached to its preferred securities.

Rather than treating the sale as a concession, White presented it as a credibility move aimed at lenders and ratings agencies demonstrating that the treasury is not frozen and can be accessed when circumstances warrant.

MSTR’s Key Technical Levels To Watch The weight of the trend is still pointed lower.

The stock is nearly 6% below its 20-day moving average and even further from its 50-day and 200-day gauges sitting roughly 30% and 45% below those respective levels.

That kind of distance from major trend markers tells you the stock is still grinding against a wall of supply on any attempt to move higher rather than building the kind of base that would suggest a genuine reversal.

A death cross has been anchored in place since October 2025 reinforcing the bearish structure.

The one flicker of improvement is in short-term momentum where the MACD indicator has crossed above its signal line and the histogram has turned positive suggesting the pace of selling has slowed relative to recent weeks even if the bigger picture remains unfavorable.

Clearing the 20-day moving average zone between roughly $103 and $104 would be the minimum bar bulls need to clear to make the case that this bounce has staying power.
