Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, announced the introduction of a new metric indicator on the organization's public dashboard that tracks the 200-week moving average price of bitcoin. Historically, this level has served as a reliable indicator of support for a bull market, as the asset has traded above this mark 92% of the time since its formation. Currently, the quotes of the first cryptocurrency are testing this line, being near the value of $ 62,500. This innovation is part of a broader strategy to change the perception of the market and shareholders of the company's large-scale investments in digital assets, the total volume of which is estimated at $63.69 billion. Saylor noted that, in his opinion, the testing of the 200-week moving average represents a phase of long-term consolidation, which historically preceded the market recovery, and he maintains a positive view on the dynamics of the asset for holders with a long horizon.

The introduction of this tracker takes place against the background of a more complex financial picture of the Strategy portfolio. The organization controls 843,775 units of bitcoin, purchased at an average price of $75,476 per coin. At current market prices of about $62,500, the company's total position is formally valued below the acquisition cost. In addition, the reporting for the second quarter showed a shift from a profit of $14.0 billion to a loss of $8.2 billion. This shift was driven by the sale of 3,588 coins worth approximately $216.0 million, which violated management's long-standing public promise to "never sell." However, the company clarified that this operation was necessary solely to finance dividend payments on STRC's perpetual preferred shares and does not reflect a change in the fundamental accumulation strategy.

Despite the temporary unfavorable ratio of market price and acquisition cost, Saylor continues to broadcast signals of its intention to expand reserves. A recent publication with the wording "Bitcoin Drive engaged" has provoked new speculation regarding imminent purchase announcements, similar to how it happened before the disclosure of information about the growth of cash reserves at the end of July. At the same time, the head denied widespread rumors about the recent authorization of the sale of bitcoins for $ 5.0 billion, specifying that these are outdated provisions of the internal "Concept of digital credit capital." Analysts remain cautious in assessing the dynamics of the asset from the 200-week average, citing weakening institutional inflows and macroeconomic uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve's decisions, but Saylor himself is confident that the long-term trend is still favorable for investors.
