Bitcoin Price Dips to $115k as Strategy Raises Preferred Stock Offering to $2B – Can Bulls Push the Price Up?
Bitcoin dips to $115K as Strategy ups its preferred stock offering to $2B, sparking fresh market speculation.
The Bitcoin price has dipped 2.99% in the last 24 hours, to trade at $115,671.54, on an 18.41% pump in the daily trading volume, to $78.98 billion.
Bitcoin Price Strategy Ups Its Bitcoin Bet with $2B Stock Sale
Bitcoin’s price dip follows an unexpected move by Strategy, a major Bitcoin investment firm, which has shocked Wall Street by boosting its fundraising target. Originally aiming to raise $500 million, the company now plans to raise $2 billion by offering a special class of shares priced at $90 each.
Investors who buy these shares will earn a high 9% yearly dividend. Major banks like Morgan Stanley, Barclays, TD Securities, and Moelis & Co are helping with this fundraising. All the money raised will be used to buy more Bitcoin.
Strategy’s main stock price stayed close to $413 after the news. Over the last year, it has grown more than the S&P 500 and tech sector. By buying Bitcoin as a key part of its business, Strategy now owns over 600,000 BTC. This shows the company strongly believes in Bitcoin’s value. Big investors are still interested in Bitcoin, especially as spot Bitcoin ETFs become more popular and the regulatory acceptance increases.
Bitcoin Price Analysis – Will Buyers Take Charge of the Market?
Bitcoin is trading near $116,583 after a pullback, moving sideways below its recent $122,054.86 high. This slowdown follows profit-taking and the end of a 12-day streak of spot Bitcoin ETF inflows.
Despite this pause, BTC remains in a bullish trend, holding well above the 50-day ($110,321.45) and 200-day ($98,329.65) simple moving averages, showing continued strong market support.
Bitcoin faces resistance at $122,007.92 after consolidating near $119,000. A breakout above this could target $134,907.53, while support lies at $109,755.91 and $98,159.11. Falling below the 50-day average may signal a short-term reversal toward $111,867.18 or the 200-day average.

The RSI is at 55.94, well below the overbought level of 70, showing there’s room for more gains. The MACD is still positive, but its histogram bars are shrinking, which means bullish strength is fading. With the MACD signal line at -322, traders should watch for any crossovers that could signal a move to more sideways or even lower prices.
Despite the ETF outflows and some profit-taking, there are no signs of panic; trading remains orderly, and key supports are holding. With Strategy’s $2B capital raise potentially fueling additional institutional buying, the backdrop is set for a possible bullish breakout if Bitcoin can decisively push above resistance levels.
