MSTR Stock Shows Signs of Short-Term Bottom as Social Interest Fades

MSTR stock may be approaching a short-term bottom as investor attention across major social platforms continues to decline, according to recent data. Social metrics tracked between September 23 and December 23, 2025, indicate weakening engagement even as MicroStrategy’s share price underwent a sharp correction. This pattern has historically been associated with the late stages of selloffs or the beginning of consolidation phases.

A Santiment report shows that social volume and social dominance for MSTR have dropped to multi-month lows, with social dominance falling to just 0.099%. Santiment notes that similar levels in the past have often appeared near the end of intense selling pressure. When crowd interest fades, speculative momentum typically weakens, which can reduce forced selling and allow prices to stabilize. This shift in sentiment has previously aligned with local price bottoms in earlier market cycles.

During the same period, Bitcoin traded in a relatively narrow range between $87,000 and $90,000. While BTC prices remained mostly stable, social engagement around MSTR weakened at a faster pace than price action. This divergence suggests that much of the bearish sentiment surrounding MicroStrategy may already be reflected in the stock’s valuation, reducing the likelihood of further panic-driven downside in the near term.

Since reaching a local high near $456 on July 16, MSTR stock has declined by roughly 65%, falling to around $158.71. The pullback followed increased criticism on social media, including hostile narratives and meme-driven commentary. Much of the negative attention focused on Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, which relies heavily on convertible debt and leverage. While this approach has delivered strong performance during bullish Bitcoin cycles, it has drawn scrutiny during periods of price weakness due to perceived balance-sheet risk.

Additional uncertainty emerged from Polymarket data, where 74% of traders predicted that MicroStrategy could be removed from the MSCI index by March 31. Attention also turned to a pause in Bitcoin purchases, confirmed by an SEC filing showing no BTC acquisitions between December 15 and 21. Despite the pause, Strategy continues to hold 671,268 Bitcoin, acquired for approximately $50.33 billion at an average price of $74,972, reinforcing its long-term Bitcoin-centric strategy even amid short-term volatility.
