Key Takeaways
1. Strategy (MSTR) Will Not Sell Its Bitcoin
Saylor says the company views Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset, not a short-term trade.
He dismisses forced liquidation fears.
According to company leadership, BTC would need to fall around 90% and stay there for years before refinancing becomes a serious issue.
2. They Plan to Keep Buying — Every Quarter
Strategy intends to continue purchasing Bitcoin regularly.
They recently bought 1,142 BTC (Feb 2–8).
Saylor emphasized: “We’re not going to be selling. We are going to be buying bitcoin.”
This reinforces Strategy’s identity as essentially a leveraged Bitcoin proxy in the public markets.
3. Financial Risk According to Saylor
Saylor claims:
2.5 years of cash reserves for dividends and debt payments.
Net leverage ratio lower than many investment-grade companies.
Ability to roll forward debt even under extreme stress.
However, this depends heavily on:
Access to capital markets
Bitcoin not staying severely depressed for multiple years
Investor confidence in MSTR equity and convertible debt
4. $5.1 Billion Unrealized Loss
BTC is below Strategy’s average purchase price (~$76,056).
Unrealized losses ≠ realized losses.
As long as they don’t sell, losses remain on paper.
This is the core of Saylor’s thesis: volatility doesn’t matter if you never sell.
5. Volatility & Stock Behavior
MSTR stock has had heavy drawdowns.
It behaves like a leveraged Bitcoin ETF with embedded corporate leverage.
Options open interest is high → heavy speculative trading.
MSTR tends to:
Amplify BTC upside
Amplify BTC downside
6. The $60,000 “Production Floor” Argument
Some argue Bitcoin has a structural floor around mining cost (~$60K).
Saylor downplayed this, saying institutional adoption will matter more than mining economics.
Historically, mining cost does not create a hard floor — it’s more of a pressure zone than a guarantee.

What This Really Signals
Saylor is doubling down on three core beliefs:
1. Bitcoin will outperform traditional assets long-term.
2. Volatility is normal and irrelevant over multi-year horizons.
3. Capital markets will remain open to Strategy.
This is a conviction-based, high-beta strategy, not a conservative treasury allocation.

Risk Factors (Important)
Even if Saylor sounds confident, risks remain:
Prolonged bear market
Tightening credit markets
Convertible debt pressure
Equity dilution if they raise more capital
Correlation between BTC drawdowns and MSTR share volatility
Strategy is effectively running a leveraged long Bitcoin position funded through capital markets.

Bigger Picture
Saylor isn’t trying to predict 12-month prices.
He’s betting on a 4–8 year outperformance thesis vs. the S&P 500.
That’s a macro conviction trade.
