Updated: Jan 02 2026- Bitcoin Price Drop: Bitcoin's price fell back below $89,000 before the market opened, with rapid selling in the last 15 minutes reflecting turbulent market conditions, potentially undermining investor confidence and impacting the overall cryptocurrency market.
- MSTR Stock Crisis: MSTR's stock is trading near its 52-week low, having declined approximately 48% in 2025, with its mNAV slipping to 1.02; a potential MSCI classification change could push the mNAV below 1, increasing financing risks.
- Investor Panic: If MSTR's mNAV falls below 1, it may trigger investor sell-offs, leading to further stock outflows and creating a downward spiral that could further depress Bitcoin prices.
- Massive Loss Expectations: Strategy is set to announce a billion-dollar loss due to the decline in Bitcoin prices, and the MSCI decision could result in billions being withdrawn from cryptocurrency reserve company shares, heightening market volatility.
