MSTR Drops 1.36% as $3.01B Volume Ranks 27th Amid Tech Sector Pressures

On September 24, 2025, Strategy (MSTR) closed with a 1.36% decline, trading at $XX.XX. The stock recorded a volume of $3.01 billion, ranking 27th in market activity for the day. The move followed a mixed performance in tech-related equities amid shifting macroeconomic sentiment.

Recent developments affecting MSTR include a strategic partnership announcement with a major cloud infrastructure provider, which analysts suggest could expand the company’s market reach. However, the stock’s decline appears linked to broader sector pressures, including rising interest rate expectations and profit-taking after a recent rally. Institutional trading activity showed reduced net buying, with short-term traders adopting a cautious stance ahead of upcoming earnings reports.

To run this back-test accurately, I’ll need to clarify a few practical details and confirm the exact rules you’d like applied. Could you please confirm (or adjust) the following? 1. Universe • Exchanges included (e.g., NYSE + NASDAQ common stocks only)? • Any minimum price / market-cap filter to avoid very illiquid names? 2. Rebalancing mechanics • “Top 500 by daily dollar volume” – ranked every trading day at the prior close? • Portfolio weighting – equal-weighted across the 500 names, or volume-weighted? • Slippage / transaction cost assumptions (if any)? 3. Performance display • Do you want the result as the aggregate portfolio equity curve, or also per-stock statistics? • Benchmark comparison (e.g., S&P 500)? 4. Tool limitation disclosure • The current automated back-testing engine in this environment works on a single-ticker basis. For a cross-sectional “500-stock” strategy we can: a) Approximate with an index/ETF proxy that tracks high-volume stocks, or b) Build a custom equal-weight portfolio offline and import the daily P/L series for analysis.
