The Price of Bitcoin May Be Soaring, But a New Risk Has Emerged for Strategy. Here's What MSTR Investors Need to Know.
Strategy has issued four classes of preferred stock to fund its Bitcoin purchases, but is now selling some of its Bitcoins to fund the dividends on those preferred shares. This introduces a new risk despite Bitcoin's rising price.
Why it matters — MSTR watchers would care because selling Bitcoin to cover preferred dividends could reduce the company's core Bitcoin holdings, potentially undermining the strategy that underpins its value.
