On September 8, Strategy fell 3.28% in pre-market trading, trading at $138.57/share, with turnover of approximately $15.03 million. The decline follows a broader pullback in crypto-linked equities after stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data dampened hopes for monetary easing.

The August nonfarm payrolls report showed 162,000 new jobs created, far exceeding the consensus estimate of 55,000, while the unemployment rate held at 4.1% and July figures were revised upward by 43,000. The data swiftly reversed earlier dovish expectations set by Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who had signaled support for holding rates steady if inflation continued to cool. Bitcoin dropped over 2% intraday from $81,300 to around $78,600 before stabilizing near $79,500-$79,800.

Strategy, which holds 845,050 BTC at an average cost of approximately $75,412, remains highly sensitive to bitcoin price swings. Additionally, MSCI is conducting a consultation ending September 30 on potential index eligibility rules that could exclude digital asset treasury companies, adding further overhang to the stock. Crypto concept stocks broadly weakened, with Circle down over 2% in the same session.
