Bitcoin outperforms stocks as Strategy's STRC raises $776M with potential for 11,000 BTC purchase

Bitcoin climbed over 7% to about $70,625 in the past week while the S&P 500 fell 1.60%, as Strategy's STRC instrument raised roughly $776 million that could buy more than 11,000 BTC. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $767 million of net inflows over five consecutive trading days, but a bear flag pattern on the BTC chart implies downside risk toward $51,000.
