How Strategy plans to withstand Bitcoin’s fall with a debt conversion strategy. Read more.

The company Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, expressed its confidence in sustaining commitments even if Bitcoin significantly drops, down to $8,000. However, behind the simple statement lies a much more intricate reality.
Currently, the company has about $6 billion in net debt relative to its cryptocurrency assets. In case of a sharp drop in BTC’s market value, reserves may equal this debt. However, it’s crucial to consider the timelines, market availability, and investor reaction. In a stress scenario, the so-called “cushion” may prove insufficient.
The company plans to convert some convertible bonds over the next three to six years, swapping debt for shares. This shifts the risk to shareholders through dilution and extends repayment periods via credit. Interest still accrues, creating short-term expenses.
Even amid losses, the company continued purchasing, recently adding 1,142 BTC. This move demonstrates confidence but also increases the company’s exposure to Bitcoin fluctuations. Such market movements can heighten stock volatility.
Phuong Le, one of Strategy’s executives, noted that an 80% BTC drop might not significantly harm operational activity over several years. However, this depends on stable access to credit markets and predictable cash flow, which could be disrupted by a sharp asset price decline.
Saylor also advocates that the US should consider Bitcoin as gold and promote its adoption, positioned as a long-term strategic task.
The company’s current strategy technically allows it to withstand a significant BTC drop; however, shareholders must be prepared for volatility and potential dilution.
