Bitcoin Nears $76,000 as Strategy’s Cost Basis Becomes a Market Stress Line

On-chain weakness underscores a capital‑market‑funded position turning $76,000 into a structural test.

Overview

  • Strategy holds about 713,502 BTC at an average purchase price near $76,052, positioning its cost basis at the center of current market focus.
  • Michael Saylor disclosed a buy of 855 BTC at roughly $87,974, nudging the firm’s marginal cost higher and leaving new coins under water at present prices.
  • Realized Cap growth has stalled and SOPR often sits below 1.0, signaling rotation among existing holders rather than fresh, durable inflows.
  • The accumulation relies on equity issuance and convertible debt, so a tougher funding backdrop could curtail a major source of structural demand.
  • Bitcoin has slipped into the high‑$70,000s, putting the $76,000 zone in play as analysts frame it as a structural test rather than assured support.
