Could Strategy (MSTR) Go Bankrupt? ๐
Unlikely.
MSTR's debt stands at $8.2 billion, while its BTC holdings total $43.4 billion. This gives them a leverage ratio of 19%. ๐ต
With only $5 billion of BTC below the conversion price, the effective leverage ratio is even lower, around 11.5%.
For MSTR to become insolvent, BTC would need to drop 80-90% from its current priceโan unlikely scenario. ๐
Additionally, none of MSTR's debt is due until 2028, so the company's financial position remains stable. โ๏ธ
In short, bankruptcy is not a concern for now.
