Strategy Starts Publicly Tracking Bitcoin’s 200‑Week Moving Average

The change aims to steer investor focus on a long-term support line, spotlighting the firm’s massive bitcoin holding.

Overview

  • Michael Saylor said Strategy is publishing bitcoin’s 200‑week moving average and the premium or discount to that level on Strategy.com to make the long-term line visible to market participants.
  • Bitcoin is trading just below that 200‑week average at about $63,000 versus the roughly $63,770 moving average, and prices moved lower after reports the Clarity Act was not listed on the Senate agenda.
  • Strategy holds about 843,775 BTC and recently sold 3,588 coins in late June and early July to fund preferred dividends and U.S. dollar reserves, a program that produced an $8.32 billion Q2 impairment.
  • The 200‑week moving average is a four‑year weekly closing average that traders often treat as major support, and Kraken analysts say buys at discounts to that line produced median returns of roughly 113% at 12 months and 313% at two years.
  • By making the indicator public, Strategy could strengthen the metric’s market influence and link its balance sheet swings to how traders react to the line, with regulatory timing such as the Clarity Act likely to amplify short-term volatility.
