🔽 Bitcoin drop could pressure Strategy

Strategy’s $53 billion Bitcoin holdings currently cover its financing costs, but a deeper Bitcoin decline could make funding more difficult.

Analysts estimate that if Bitcoin falls to $30,000, Strategy may need substantial share issuance to meet obligations, increasing pressure on MSTR stock.
