The post MicroStrategy in Big Trouble? As Bitcoin Price 10% Away From Liquidation Threat appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin’s recent price swings have always been a hot topic, and this time, all eyes are on MicroStrategy and its co-founder, Michael Saylor. With Bitcoin slipping below $75,000, concerns are growing that MicroStrategy might be forced to sell its massive Bitcoin holdings to avoid liquidation.
Prominent crypto trader Doctor Profit has sent a bold message to Saylor, suggesting that he could be the market’s next big victim.
MicroStrategy is one of the biggest institutional holders of Bitcoin, having accumulated over 528,185 BTC at a value of $40.94 billion till now.
According to Doctor Profit, Bitcoin is now only 10% above MicroStrategy’s average purchase price of $66,384. If the market continues to decline, the company might need to sell BTC to avoid liquidation risks.
Dear Michael @saylor, you are most likely becoming the next victim of this market. I would start selling as much BTC as I could in your case. Bitcoin is now only 10% above your average BTC entry. Let me predict it straight, MSTR will most likely be sold to avoid liquidation.

This has created fear among investors, who worry that a potential Bitcoin sell-off by MicroStrategy could further push BTC prices down. For now, MicroStrategy has halted further Bitcoin purchases, possibly waiting to see where the market goes next.
Alongside Bitcoin’s drop, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) has suffered a significant downturn, losing more than 15% in value over the past week. This sharp decline has been fueled by the broader market turmoil, including the ongoing global economic uncertainty and the recent correction in crypto prices.
Adding to market fears, rumors suggest that MicroStrategy may have submitted an 8-K form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 7. This document reportedly warns that if Bitcoin’s price keeps falling, the company might have to sell its holdings to repay debts.
However, a closer review of the filing reveals that MicroStrategy has included similar warnings in its past reports. This suggests that the statement is a routine risk disclosure rather than an immediate liquidation threat.
While the warning sounds alarming, it’s important to consider MicroStrategy’s financial position. The company has leveraged billions in debt to buy Bitcoin, making its investment strategy a high-risk, high-reward play.
So far, Saylor has maintained confidence in Bitcoin, repeatedly stating that he has no plans to sell. However, if Bitcoin falls below a critical threshold, it could trigger margin calls on the loans backing MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings.
In such a case, the company might have to sell some of its assets, either Bitcoin or otherwise, to stay afloat.

Today, over $3 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire. It will see over $2.5 billion worth of BTC and nearly $500 million worth of ETH contracts settled. How will the prices of both assets react?
These options’ expiry will take place at 8:00 UTC on Deribit, potentially inspiring volatility across the crypto market.
Today, March 7, 29,005 Bitcoin contracts with a notional value of $2.54 billion are set to expire. According to Deribit data, Bitcoin’s put-to-call ratio is 0.67. The maximum pain point—the price at which the asset will cause financial losses to the greatest number of holders—is $89,000.
Additionally, Ethereum sees the expiration of 223,395 contracts with a notional value of $481.9 million. The maximum pain point for these contracts is $2,300, with a put-to-call ratio of 0.72.
The maximum pain point in the crypto options market represents the price level that inflicts the most financial discomfort on option holders. At the same time, the put-to-call ratios, below 1 for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, indicate a higher prevalence of purchase options (calls) over sales options (puts).
Crypto options trading tool Greeks.live provided insights into the current market sentiment. They cited an overall bearish market sentiment, with traders expressing frustration over extreme volatility and choppy price action.
Bitcoin’s sharp intraday swings, such as recent moves of $6,000, have led to what traders describe as “scam both ways” conditions. According to analysts at Greeks.live, this makes it difficult to establish a clear directional trend.
“Most traders are watching the 87,000-89,000 range as key resistance, with 82,000 noted as a recent bottom, though there is significant disagreement on whether a sustainable bottom has been found,” wrote Greeks.live.
Further, the pronounced put skew reflects the broader pessimism, as traders continue to favor downside protection despite occasional upward moves. The analysts also observe that traders are adjusting their strategies amidst the high volatility.
“Several traders are selling calls at 89,000-90,000 range as a preferred strategy in this environment, with one trader reporting they’re at -260% on calls bought at lower levels,” Grreeks.live added.
The belief that the market is currently in a liquidity-driven phase has led to a focus on quick entries and exits. This level of caution comes as longer-term positions remain vulnerable to abrupt swings. External macro factors, such as shifting trade policies and tariff announcements, add to the uncertainty.
As a result, many traders are choosing to stay on the sidelines, waiting for clearer signals before committing to new positions.
“With markets on edge, where do you think price action will land? Above or below max pain?” Deribit posed in a post on X (Twitter).
Nonetheless, traders must remember that option expiration has a short-term impact on the underlying asset’s price. Generally, the market will return to its normal state shortly after and possibly even compensate for strong price deviations.
Traders should stay vigilant, analyzing technical indicators and market sentiment to navigate potential volatility effectively. Meanwhile, these developments come after US President Donald Trump signed the strategic Bitcoin reserve order.
Notably, the order was short of specific details, with many questions likely to be answered later during the White House Crypto Summit.
