The sharp decline in cryptocurrencies, driven by President Trump's announcement of new U.S. tariffs on European nations, is putting significant pressure on MicroStrategy ($MSTR) due to its heavy exposure to Bitcoin price movements.
- As of January 19, 2026, MicroStrategy holds 687,410 Bitcoin acquired at an average cost of approximately $75,353 per coin.
- The tariff announcement (starting at 10% and escalating to 25% on June 1) triggered an $800 million liquidation cascade in leveraged crypto positions.
- Bitcoin dropped roughly 3%, trading toward $92,500, as broader market sentiment deteriorated amid trade war fears.
