Its stock and preferred securities have become a key part of how traders judge risk across the wider Bitcoin market.<\/p>\n<p>The comments follow weeks of debate over Strategy\u2019s capital structure. As previously reported, the company\u2019s Bitcoin flywheel has come under pressure as its stock traded below the value of its Bitcoin holdings.<\/p>\n<p>That shift matters because Strategy used its stock premium for years to raise capital and buy more Bitcoin. When that premium weakens, raising fresh capital becomes harder and market confidence can fade.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>STRC weakness adds to market concern<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Novogratz also pointed to poor trading in Strategy\u2019s preferred products. He said \u201cthe Saylor thing is real\u201d and noted that the company\u2019s perpetuals were trading weakly.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure centers on STRC, Strategy\u2019s preferred stock product. STRC was designed to trade close to $100, but market stress has pushed it below that level at several points.<\/p>\n<p>As previously reported, CryptoQuant said Strategy\u2019s annual dividend obligations had risen to about $1.2 billion. The firm also said dividend coverage had dropped to about 14 months as cash reserves declined.<\/p>\n<p>That warning added to earlier concerns after Strategy sold 32 BTC in late May. The sale raised about $2.5 million and marked the company\u2019s first reported Bitcoin sale since December 2022.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Macro pressure weighs on Bitcoin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Novogratz also cited macro policy as another reason for Bitcoin\u2019s weak price action. He pointed to hawkish central bank signals and stronger support for the U.S. dollar.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cstrong dollar is weak Bitcoin.\u201d His view is that a stronger dollar can reduce demand for risk assets, including Bitcoin, during periods of market stress.<\/p>\n<p>That view fits with the wider market mood. Bitcoin has also faced pressure from ETF outflows, weaker liquidity, and cautious options positioning.<\/p>\n<p>Aspreviously reported, ETF flows and Strategy concerns have weighed on trader sentiment. Bearish exposure near the $60,000 area also showed that traders were preparing for more downside risk.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin faces key support test<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Novogratz said the $59,000 to $60,000 zone is now important for Bitcoin. He warned that if this level fails, the market could open a path toward $45,000.<\/p>\n<p>He also said the next move remains hard to call. In his words, the chance of a deeper drop or recovery is \u201c50\/50\u201d because the setup is complicated.<\/p>\n<p>The comments show how closely traders now watch Strategy as part of the Bitcoin market. The company\u2019s balance sheet, STRC performance, and cash position have become market signals.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Bitcoin\u2019s next test sits near the same level Novogratz named. A hold above the $59,000 to $60,000 area could calm traders, while a break below it may bring more selling pressure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
