In its June 15 filing, Strategy stated it holds 846,842 BTC after purchasing an additional 1,587 BTC for $100 million during the preceding week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a price of around $64,000 per BTC when Saylor posted, these Bitcoin holdings were valued at nearly $54.2 billion. Combined with the $1.1 billion USD Reserve and compared against the remaining <\/span><b>$6.7 billion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in convertible bonds, the calculation puts the difference at approximately $48.6 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This picture is a far cry from October 2022, when Strategy held around 130,000 BTC valued at $2.6 billion. Bitcoin subsequently fell below $16,000, causing the total value of BTC and cash to drop about $300 million below debt, according to Saylor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategy has raised more than $60 billion in new capital and acquired over 716,000 BTC since that time, Saylor said. This accumulation has brought current holdings to more than six times the late-2022 level and forms the foundation for his latest claim of \u201c$48B\u201d exceeding debt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategy_Cuts_Convertible_Debt\"\/><b>Strategy Cuts Convertible Debt<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategy completed the redemption of $1.5 billion in 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 in late May. The company spent approximately $1.38 billion in cash on the transaction, representing an 8% discount to face value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The redemption brought Strategy\u2019s total face value of convertible notes down to $6.7 billion, from $8.2 billion previously. The company stated the transaction was part of its capital structure management plan, while still maintaining its Bitcoin purchasing operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the same period, Strategy issued an additional $2 billion of STRC, a type of <\/span><b>variable-rate preferred stock<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, along with $84 million of common stock. The company stated these funds were used to acquire an additional 24,869 BTC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategy_Rebuilds_Its_USD_Reserve\"\/><b>Strategy Rebuilds Its USD Reserve<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USD Reserve is the liquidity pool set aside by Strategy to support dividend payments for its preferred stock and interest on outstanding debt. The fund stood at $871 million on May 25 before being raised to $1.1 billion in the most recent update.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the week ended June 14, Strategy raised approximately $209 million in net proceeds from the sale of more than 1.73 million shares of MSTR stock through its at-the-market (ATM) program. The company used $100 million to purchase more Bitcoin and stated that its USD Reserve had increased to $1.1 billion. This reserve includes expected proceeds from ATM stock sales that have not yet settled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The focus on liquidity increased after Strategy sold 32 BTC in late May, generating approximately $2.5 million to fund dividend payments for STRC. This was the company\u2019s first BTC sale since 2022 and accounts for only a tiny fraction of its Bitcoin holdings, but it shows Strategy\u2019s willingness to use BTC as a capital management tool when necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Preferred-Stock_Question\"\/><b>The Preferred-Stock Question<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The roughly $48 billion figure cited by Saylor compares BTC and the USD Reserve against Strategy\u2019s $6.7 billion in convertible bonds. This comparison excludes the $15.5 billion face value of outstanding preferred stock, according to the company\u2019s May 26 update.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred stock does not have a maturity date like convertible notes and is therefore not classified in the same convertible debt category. However, these securities carry dividend obligations and rank ahead of common stock in Strategy\u2019s capital structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coverage level also fluctuates directly with the price of Bitcoin. With 846,842 BTC, every $1,000 change in the price of Bitcoin will increase or decrease the value of Strategy\u2019s BTC holdings by approximately $847 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/strategys-bitcoin-and-cash-reserves-exceed-debt-by-48b-saylor-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Saylor stated in a post on X that Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin holdings and USD Reserve currently exceed its debt by approximately $48 billion, in sharp contrast to the tight debt situation at the end of 2022, when the company\u2019s total BTC and cash value was about $300 million below its debt.
