Summary
CryptoQuant is urging MicroStrategy to halt its Bitcoin acquisitions and rebuild its USD reserves, citing a 38% drop in reserves to $1.4 billion and a target of $2.8 billion.

The company's variable-rate preferred stock (STRC), with approximately $9 billion outstanding, has also slipped to $88 from near $100 highs, indicating market concern over its capital structure. This news highlights increasing pressure on MicroStrategy's financial strategy and liquidity.
