On October 8, Strategy declined 3.25% in regular trading, trading at $148.13/share, with Turnover of $363 million.

The decline comes as escalating Middle East tensions and surging U.S. Treasury yields weigh on risk appetite, with Bitcoin dropping to near three-week lows despite Strategy's continued accumulation of the asset.

Background context shows that rising oil prices and a 24-year high in the 10-year Treasury yield have increased the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like Bitcoin, creating persistent selling pressure on Strategy shares despite the company's recent disclosure of a $20.91 billion estimated Q3 digital asset gain and additional purchases of 334 BTC between October 1 and October 4.

Within the Application Software sector where Strategy belongs, Palantir Technologies rose 3.55%, Adobe gained 1.55%, while IREN Ltd fell 4.17%.
