$Amazon(AMZN)$ fell over 5% on Friday as it projected a surge of more than 50% in capital expenditures this year, joining its peers in a spending spree to build out artificial-intelligence infrastructure. Analysts had expected about $150bn in capex for 2026.
Investors were spooked by the commitment, which exceeds rivals including Google and Microsoft.
A total number of 2.91M options related to Amazon were traded on Friday, 4.3 times higher than the 90-day average trading volume. A particularly high volume was seen for the $210 strike call option expiring Feb 6, 2026, with 153,996 contracts trading as of last Friday.

Unusual Options Activity

$Strategy Inc.(MSTR)$, formerly MicroStrategy, rallied more than 26% last Friday as Bitcoin rebounded from roughly $60,000 to about $71,000 in a single day, a move highlighted in crypto‑equity coverage that tied the swing directly to Bitcoin’s sharp intraday bounce.
Strategy reported that it held 713,502 bitcoins as of February 1, 2026, at a total cost of approximately $54.26 billion, or about $76,052 per coin, and explained that this position represents roughly 3.4% of all Bitcoin in circulation
Recent price action suggests that investors are effectively treating Strategy as an “amplified wrapped BTC,” a term used in February commentary that compared MSTR’s 26% share‑price jump to Bitcoin’s roughly 12% rebound over the same session.
There are 1.38 million Strategy option contracts traded on Wednesday, 2.4 times higher than the 90-day average trading volume. Call options related to Strategy showed huge gains on Friday. For example, the $135 strike call strike expiring this week soared 330.72%.
