# Weekly Recap | STRF.US +2.61%, closing in on record highs

## The Week

STRF.US gained 2.61% this week to close at $104.30, outperforming the S&P 500’s flat 0.09% rise by roughly 2.52 percentage points. The move was a choppy grind higher: the week opened at $102.46 on Monday, dipped to a low of $101.72 on Tuesday, then pushed through $104 on Thursday before reaching a week high of $104.60 on Friday. The weekly range was about 2.82%, and average daily volume of 66.7k shares ran about 10% below the recent median.

## Key Events

The week revolved around Strategy’s Bitcoin position. On Monday, Michael Saylor ended a two-month pause and bought 4,603 BTC for $370 million, lifting the total to 845,050 coins. Bitcoin’s rise above $79,000 pushed the unrealised profit on that book past $2.8 billion at one point. Tuesday brought a $0.50 per share semi-monthly dividend on STRC preferred shares. Midweek, Saylor and the CEO defended the recent ‘sell low, buy high’ Bitcoin trades and called the balance sheet fortress-like. Strategy also pushed back on MSCI’s proposal for digital asset securities, calling it discriminatory. By Thursday, Bitcoin touched a three-month high and MSTR jumped 15.03% in a single session, with crypto-linked equities rallying broadly.

## The Week Ahead

Next week’s macro data will set the tone for risk assets. Tuesday brings the NFIB small business optimism index. Thursday is the heavy day: initial jobless claims, core and headline PPI, existing home sales, wholesale sales, and a 10-year Treasury auction. A hotter-than-expected PPI print could push rate-cut expectations further out, adding pressure to high-beta crypto assets. The auction’s yield and bid-to-cover ratio will also show how the market is pricing the rate path. As with this week, the link between these numbers and STRF is correlation, not cause.

## In Short

STRF’s gain came alongside Strategy’s return to Bitcoin buying, a bigger paper profit on its holdings, and a broad crypto rebound. At the same time, the latest session’s flow showed large orders leaning to the sell side, with a bid-ask-shaped split around $104. What matters next: whether PPI and jobless claims shift rate expectations, whether Bitcoin can hold its three-month high, and whether the MSCI proposal fight leads to index classification changes. These signals point in different directions, so no single read dominates yet.
