  • The company holds over 714,000 BTC and faces a 66% drop in share price as Bitcoin trades significantly lower than its recent peak.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Saylor dismisses forced-selling concerns by citing years of debt coverage and a multi-billion-dollar reserve to avoid liquidating holdings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Looks like Michael Saylor is truly focused on buying Bitcoin (BTC) forever, even though Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is facing US$5 billion (AU$7.02 billion) in unrealised losses<\/p>\n

    The company said it bought 1,142 BTC last week for about US$90 million (AU$137 million), at an average cost of US$78,815 (AU$120,586) per coin. That brought its total to 714,644 BTC, which it put at about US$49 billion (AU$74.9 billion). With Bitcoin around US$68,829 (AU$105K), the position was worth about US$5.1 billion (AU$7.8 billion) less than what it paid.<\/p>\n

    The acquisition comes at a time when Bitcoin is down about 45% from its October peak of US$126,080 (AU$192K). The selloff has extended for weeks now, hitting Strategy at the worst time possible.<\/p>\n

    Strategy shares (MSTR) were down about 2.7% on Tuesday trading, and down nearly 66% over six months, trading around $134.58.<\/p>\n

    What Happens If Price Keeps Falling?<\/h2>\n

    Strategy owns about 3.4% of Bitcoin\u2019s total supply, prompting questions about whether it could be forced to sell to service debt or pay dividends if prices keep falling.<\/p>\n

    Saylor said those concerns are \u201cunfounded,\u201d arguing the firm has about 2.5 years of debt and dividend coverage in cash. He pointed to a US$1.44 billion (AU$2.2 billion) reserve set up in December to support dividend payments without selling Bitcoin, which he said has been increased through common-stock issuance.<\/p>\n

    Saylor said if Bitcoin dropped 90% and stayed there, the company would refinance rather than sell. He said BTC would have to fall to about US$8,000 (AU$12K) before that scenario becomes relevant.<\/p>\n

    Interestingly, hedge fund manager and investor Michael Burry claimed a few days ago that a Bitcoin breakdown could trigger a \u201csickening cascade\u201d across financial markets, specifically targeting firms like Strategy.<\/p>\n
