MARKET UPDATE
As of Thursday’s Close
BITCOIN
BTC showed strong momentum, gaining 0.71% to reach $98,110.40 by the 4 p.m. ET close.
This represents its highest level since early January 2026 and marks a 12.23% gain both month-to-date and year-to-date.
The move above the $98,000 threshold is viewed by analysts as a shift in sentiment, potentially turning former resistance into new support.
STRATEGY
MSTR outperformed the underlying asset today, closing at $184.45, an increase of 1.84%.
Strategy continues to exhibit a high beta relative to Bitcoin (historically around 1.34), meaning it typically amplifies Bitcoin's percentage moves in both directions.
This rally follows the company's disclosure on January 12 that it acquired an additional 13,627 BTC for approximately $1.25 billion, bringing its total holdings to 687,410 BTC.
Despite a massive unrealized loss reported for Q4 2025 due to late-year volatility, the stock has gained over 13% recently, aided by MSCI's decision to keep the firm in its flagship indexes.
BITWISE BITCOIN STANDARD ETF
The OWNB ETF, which tracks corporations adopting a "Bitcoin Standard" (with MSTR as its largest holding at roughly 13.39%), rose 1.68% today to close at approximately $24.23.
The ETF’s movement is heavily influenced by the "leveraged Bitcoin" performance of its top holdings like MSTR and MARA Holdings.
The rally in Bitcoin-standard equities coincides with a new Bitwise survey showing that crypto allocations by financial advisors hit an all-time high in late 2025, providing a tailwind of institutional interest for 2026.

BREAKOUT!!!!!
After trading sideways between $85,000 and $93,000 since late 2025, the price surged past the $95,000 resistance level this week, recently touching an eight-week high near $97,700!
CAN WE BREAK 100K?
Traders are now closely watching to see if this breakout can sustain enough volume to propel Bitcoin toward the elusive $100,000 mark before the month ends.
STRATEGY (MSTR) PRICE ACTION
🚀 ARE WE READY FOR LIFT-OFF?
Strong Bullish Rebound: The stock has shown significant momentum in the second week of January, rallying over 17% in the last few sessions to reach $184.45.
Bitcoin Correlation: This surge is largely driven by Bitcoin’s climb past $98,000, reinforcing MSTR's role as a high-leverage proxy for the cryptocurrency.
Insider Confidence: Sentiment was further boosted by a rare open-market purchase by director Carl Rickertsen, who bought 5,000 shares at roughly $156 each.
Strategic Expansion: The company recently completed its largest weekly Bitcoin acquisition since mid-2025, bringing its total holdings to over 687,000 BTC.
Index Stability: The removal of a major "overhang" occurred after MSCI confirmed it would retain the company in its global indices, preventing a massive wave of forced institutional selling.
