How MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Strategy Could Lead To Bankruptcy

In an X post, Ki Young Ju indicated that MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Strategy could only lead to bankruptcy if the Bitcoin price drops to $16,500. He explained that MSTR has $7 billion in debt and $46 billion in BTC holdings.

Therefore, based on Bitcoin alone, the company’s liquidation price is $16,500. The CryptoQuant CEO also explained why it is almost impossible for the company to go bankrupt, stating that this would only happen “if an asteroid hits Earth.”

Ki Young Ju mentioned that since its inception, Bitcoin has never dropped below the cost basis of long-term whales, which currently stands at $30,000. In another X post, the crypto CEO noted that $16,000 was the last cycle’s bottom.

In this regard, Ki Young Ju believes that talking about this price target is like alluding to the $3,000 price level when the Bitcoin price hit $60,000. Basically, the crypto CEO is confident that the flagship crypto will never touch the $16,000 price level again. As such, he remarked that BTC dropped to $16,000 again after all the institutional adoption, ETFs, and MSTR buying, it is as bad as an asteroid hitting Earth.

MicroStrategy also looks to be confident that the Bitcoin price would never drop to such a level as it has continued to accumulate more BTC despite criticisms. The software company recently acquired 15,350 BTC for $1.5 billion, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 439,000 BTC.

Saylor Highlights Company’s Success

In an X post, MicroStrategy’s co-founder also highlighted his company’s success thanks to its Bitcoin Strategy. Saylor mentioned that MSTR treasury operations have delivered a BTC yield of 72.4% year-to-date (YTD).

Furthermore, this has led to a net benefit of 136,965 BTC to the company’s shareholders. At $107,000 per BTC, these Bitcoin profits equate to around $14.66 billion for the year. These shareholders have also witnessed a significant increase in the value of their MSTR shareholdings as MicroStaretgy’s stock is up over 540% YTD.

Saylor continues to advocate for other corporations and even governments to adopt Bitcoin. Recently, he laid a framework for the US to pay off its $36 trillion debt with Bitcoin.
