MicroStrategy invests $2.54B for 34,164 BTC; BTC resistance and quantum risks

MicroStrategy invests $2.54B to buy 34,164 BTC in one week (Apr 13–19), funding purchases partly via its STRC preferred security and share sales. The weekly spend was $2.54 billion, lifting total holdings to 815,061 BTC (about $61.56B aggregate cost). Financing details: MicroStrategy raised $2.18B through STRC and another $366M via Class A share sales. STRC-linked buying hit daily highs of 7,741 BTC (Apr 13) and 9,364 BTC equivalent (Apr 14), with the two-day combined total up 518% versus the prior four-week average. The company also plans semi-monthly dividends for STRC holders and noted it reached its end-year 800,000 BTC target eight months early. Market setup for traders: BTC volatility rose amid a US–Iran tension spike. Price ended the week higher but stalled near $76,000. Key resistance areas highlighted include the 21-week EMA around $78,400, a CME futures gap near $77,300, and the $81,000 zone tied to the average cost basis for US spot Bitcoin ETF investors. Despite US spot ETF inflows totaling ~25,000 BTC last week (with a $660M record day on Friday), BTC still hasn’t reclaimed/cleared the $81,000 psychological level. Quantum and “Satoshi” debate: Blockstream CEO Adam Back urged voluntary, retroactive strengthening against quantum threats and said today’s quantum computers can’t endanger Bitcoin (impact estimated decades away). A proposal, BIP-361, would phase out quantum-vulnerable addresses and potentially freeze dormant coins; it would affect ~6.9M BTC. Back also framed the “Satoshi” identity debate, suggesting Satoshi is likely someone who avoids media. MicroStrategy invests $2.54B for 34,164 BTC again places incremental spot-demand focus on BTC, but near-term price action still hinges on resistance levels and ETF flow follow-through.
