La strategia di Saylor supera gli 800.000 Bitcoin dopo il terzo acquisto più grande della storia
La strategia di Michael Saylor, il più grande detentore pubblico di Bitcoin al mondo, ha superato gli 800.000 BTC in partecipazioni totali dopo aver annunciato i suoi ultimi acquisti.
Strategy ha acquisito 34.164 Bitcoin per 2,54 miliardi di dollari tra il 13 e il 19 aprile, secondo un deposito 8-K presso la US Securities and Exchange Commission lunedì.
Come riporta Helen Partz per CoinTelegraph.com, l'acquisto si classifica come la terza acquisizione di Bitcoin più grande di Strategy in termini di numero di monete, dietro gli acquisti di 55.500 BTC e 51.780 BTC nel novembre 2024.
Detentrice di circa 780.897 BTC dopo un acquisto da 1 miliardo di dollari solo una settimana fa, l'azienda ora detiene 815.061 BTC, acquistati per 61,56 miliardi di dollari.

La nuova acquisizione è stata effettuata a un prezzo medio di 74.395 dollari per moneta, leggermente inferiore al prezzo medio di acquisizione dell'azienda di 75.527 dollari.
I fondi STRC di Strategy finanziano oltre l'85% dell'acquisto
Similmente ad alcuni recenti acquisizioni, la maggior parte dell'ultimo acquisto di Strategy è stata finanziata tramite Stretch (STRC), il titolo privilegiato perpetuo dell'azienda.
Secondo il deposito, STRC ha generato 2,18 miliardi di dollari, ovvero circa l'85,7% dei proventi totali, mentre le vendite di azioni ordinarie di Classe A (MSTR) hanno contribuito con 366 milioni di dollari.

La scorsa settimana ha segnato diversi nuovi record per STRC, inclusa la più grande serie di acquisti in un singolo giorno dell'azienda tramite il suo programma at-the-market, o ATM.
Il 13 aprile, STRC ha stabilito un nuovo record giornaliero stimato di circa 7.741 BTC, basato sulla vendita di 11,9 milioni di azioni tramite il suo programma at-the-market, o ATM, generando oltre 1 miliardo di dollari di volume di scambi, secondo STRC Live.
Il titolo ha stabilito un altro record il giorno successivo, con circa 9.364 BTC legati a 14,4 milioni di azioni vendute tramite il suo programma at-the-market, o ATM. I due giorni combinati hanno portato circa 17.204 BTC, segnando un aumento del 518% rispetto alla media delle quattro settimane.
Il co-fondatore di Strategy, Saylor, aveva anticipato l'acquisto domenica, segnalando un'altra grande acquisizione di bitcoin prima dell'annuncio. L'azienda ha anche rivelato venerdì piani per pagare dividendi STRC due volte al mese. "Se procedessimo con il pagamento di STRC semestralmente, saremmo nella categoria uno, l'unico titolo privilegiato al mondo che paga dividendi semestralmente. Pensiamo che questo sia unico e attraente", ha detto il CEO di Strategy Phong Le.
Market-Cap/NAV si avvicina di nuovo a 1...
Infine, i recenti guadagni del titolo Strategy hanno portato la sua capitalizzazione di mercato sopra i 54 miliardi di dollari...
Spingendola sempre più vicino al suo valore patrimoniale netto (valore delle partecipazioni in BTC).
Per molti, un passaggio di Market-Cap/NAV sopra 1 è il segnale verde per la stabilità e una ripresa sostenuta del titolo MSTR.

"Strategy is successfully executing a leveraged Bitcoin-proxy strategy, but its long-term viability is entirely dependent on maintaining a premium to NAV to keep the cost of capital below the expected appreciation of Bitcoin."
Strategy’s aggressive accumulation to 815,061 BTC via STRC perpetuals creates a feedback loop that is structurally brilliant but operationally fragile. By funding acquisitions through STRC—a preferred security—they are effectively leveraging the balance sheet without immediate equity dilution of MSTR common stock. However, the reliance on ATM (at-the-market) offerings to fund these buys makes the company hyper-sensitive to market liquidity. If the BTC price corrects sharply, the NAV premium compresses, and the cost of capital for future STRC issuances will skyrocket. This is a high-stakes ‘carry trade’ on Bitcoin volatility; it functions perfectly in a bull market but carries massive liquidation risk if the underlying asset enters a prolonged drawdown.
The reliance on perpetual preferred securities to fund BTC purchases creates a massive debt-like obligation that could force fire sales of Bitcoin if the company cannot sustain dividend payments or if institutional appetite for STRC evaporates.
"MSTR's sub-average cost buy and STRC demand justify a market cap/NAV re-rating toward 1.2x, amplifying BTC upside as the purest public proxy."
MicroStrategy (MSTR) now holds 815,061 BTC at a $61.56B cost basis (avg $75,527/BTC), with the latest 34k BTC buy at $74,395—below average, accretive to per-share value. Funding 86% via STRC perpetual preferred (yielding strong demand, record ATM days of 7.7k-9.4k BTC equivalent) plus $366M stock sales shows efficient capital raise amid BTC dip-buying. Market cap at $54B nears BTC NAV, signaling potential re-rating to 1.1-1.2x if BTC holds $70k+. Saylor's aggression validates BTC as treasury asset, boosting MSTR as leveraged play vs. spot ETF peers.
If BTC drops 30% to $50k, NAV plunges to ~$41B, unwinding the nascent market cap/NAV premium and spiking STRC yields amid dilution fears from endless ATM equity issuance.
"MSTR's funding model has inverted from equity arbitrage to forced STRC sales to meet obligations — sustainable only if BTC rallies or STRC demand materializes independently, neither guaranteed."
Strategy’s 815k BTC position is structurally sound — the company is now funding 86% of purchases via STRC (perpetual preferred), not dilutive equity. The semi-monthly dividend on STRC is a genuine structural innovation that could sustain demand. However, the article buries the real risk: MSTR’s market cap/NAV ratio approaching 1.0 means the arbitrage that funded this entire machine is collapsing. At NAV parity, there’s no premium to sell stock into. The 518% surge in ATM volume on two days suggests forced selling to meet dividend obligations, not organic demand. This is a liquidity trap dressed as a victory lap.
If Bitcoin rallies 20%+ from here, MSTR's premium re-expands, STRC becomes self-funding again, and Saylor's leverage strategy works perfectly. The semi-monthly dividend could attract new capital to STRC specifically, unlocking a new buyer base independent of equity dilution.
"STRC-funded BTC purchases create leverage that could amplify losses if BTC slides, potentially eroding NAV and pressuring MSTR stock."
Strategy’s bitcoin buildup is clearly a leveraged bet funded mainly by STRC, not a pure equity play on BTC. The NAV angle matters, but 85.7% STRC financing raises the risk of a liquidity crunch or higher coupon pressures if BTC moves against the position or STRC terms tighten. At current levels around $74k per BTC, mark-to-market looks roughly around cost, but a meaningful BTC drawdown or a spike in STRC costs could compress equity value and force asset sales. The article glosses regulatory and counterparty risks, which could derail the perceived NAV premium if scrutiny or liquidity issues bite.
If BTC remains range-bound or modestly higher, STRC-generated cash flow could cushion equities and keep NAV supported, implying downside risk is smaller than the article suggests; the real test is BTC downside not upside.
"The shift toward STRC financing creates a structural cannibalization of MSTR common stock demand that will accelerate if the NAV premium compresses."
Claude, you’re missing the secondary market reality: STRC isn't just a funding vehicle; it’s a synthetic yield product that cannibalizes demand for MSTR common stock. By shifting institutional interest toward preferreds, Saylor is effectively bifurcating his capital stack. If the NAV premium vanishes, the common stock loses its primary utility as a high-beta proxy. We aren't looking at a liquidity trap; we are looking at the terminal phase of a corporate leverage cycle where the equity becomes a residual claim.
"STRC dividends create a cash burn risk in stagnant BTC scenarios, expanding beyond mere funding fragility."
Gemini, bifurcation ignores that STRC’s ~10% yield targets yield-hungry institutions avoiding MSTR’s 200%+ vol—it’s additive capital, not zero-sum. Grok/Claude fixate on NAV parity, but unflaggged: STRC’s semi-monthly dividends now exceed $100M/yr (at 86% funding mix), eroding free cash if BTC < $70k average cost. No BTC growth = dividend trap, not just liquidity crunch.
"STRC dividend sustainability depends on BTC price floor; breach it + demand collapse = forced liquidation spiral."
Grok’s dividend trap observation is sharp, but it conflates two separate stresses. STRC yields are sustainable if BTC stays above ~$68k (covering the ~$100M/yr obligation from NAV growth alone). The real vulnerability: if BTC crashes 25%+ AND STRC demand evaporates simultaneously, MSTR must liquidate BTC to fund dividends—a forced-seller dynamic nobody’s modeled. That’s the tail risk.
"STRC liquidity risk could force BTC sales in a drawdown, creating procyclical fire sales that undermine the leveraged strategy."
Responding to Grok: the ‘dividend trap’ risk is real, but the bigger flaw is liquidity resilience of STRC in a stress regime. If BTC drawdowns widen and ATM issuance dries up, MSTR may need to liquidate BTC to cover dividends, triggering forced sales into a sinking market. That creates a pro-cyclical feedback loop that neither the NAV rug-pull nor the 86% funding assumption fully models.
