JP morgan vs Saylor's MSTR Explained 👇
For weeks, the market has been trying to understand why the October 10th crash spiraled the way it did.
The MSCI announcement was the spark but what followed is what changed the entire structure of the market.
MSCI introduced a proposal on October 10th that could exclude companies holding 50% or more of their assets in Bitcoin or digital assets from its global indexes. This directly puts companies like Strategy at risk because if MSCI reclassifies them, index funds are forced to sell not by choice, but by mandate.
Forced selling risk is far more damaging than normal selling.
And in an already fragile market, this became a structural threat that added panic on top of weakness.
But things became unusual when JP Morgan did this 👇
A few days ago, JPMorgan published a bearish note highlighting the same MSCI issue, right when:
• BTC was weak
• MSTR was already down
• Liquidity was thin
• Sentiment was fragile
This created another sharp selloff.
And based on the behavior we’ve seen historically, this is not random timing.
JPMorgan has a long record of publishing bearish reports exactly when markets are weak, and bullish reports near tops. This isn’t illegal, this is how large institutions influence sentiment.
Now the market is talking about several new concerns:
1. RUMORS OF A LARGE JPMORGAN SHORT POSITION AGAINST MSTR
Many traders believe JPMorgan may have built a significant short position, and the bearish report helps push prices in their favor.
Nothing confirmed, but it’s a widespread market thesis.
2. BORROWING OF MSTR SHARES FOR SHORTING
When investors keep their MSTR shares available for borrowing, brokers can lend them to short sellers. This makes it easier for large players to build short positions and pressure the price. Some traders are now telling MSTR holders to disable share lending to limit this.
3. MASS ACCOUNT CLOSURES AT JPMORGAN
Thousands of users online are claiming they closed JPMorgan accounts because they feel the bank is manipulating both MSTR and Bitcoin. This is not a small narrative, it’s becoming a global talking point.
4. FEAR OF A POTENTIAL MSTR SHORT SQUEEZE
Some believe that if Strategy rallies 40–50% from current levels, it could trigger a massive short squeeze that wipes out existing short positions. This is adding even more attention to MSTR’s price action.
Then came Saylor’s response:
A clear explanation that Strategy is not a fund, not a trust, and not a passive BTC holder.
He outlined their software business, their credit instruments, and their active financial structure. This was aimed directly at countering the MSCI narrative.
Put everything together and the message is simple:
➱ The October 10th crash aligned with the MSCI announcement
➱ The market was already fragile
➱ JPMorgan amplified the fear at the perfect moment
➱ Uncertainty about MSCI’s final decision remains
➱ Rumors around short positions and lending practices are spreading
➱ Saylor stepped in to stop the panic
The situation is not about a single event anymore it’s about how institutions shape market sentiment, how fear spreads, and how narratives control liquidity.
And right now, what JPMorgan is doing with Strategy is something the entire crypto market needs to pay attention to.
