Strategy is considering the option of partially liquidating its Bitcoin reserves to repurchase shares and pay down some debt, as well as to take advantage of tax benefits. Saylor described this decision as a demonstration of the company’s resilience and the overall stability of the cryptocurrency market.
“We are likely to take this step for vaccination and to fund dividends just to make it clear: we did this. Everyone will understand that the organization is fine, Bitcoin is fine, the industry is fine, and the world has not collapsed,” Saylor reported.
The head of Strategy mentioned that the company is highly optimistic about the success of the perpetual preferred shares Stretch (STRC), which are currently being sold to finance Bitcoin purchases. According to the entrepreneur, this instrument has facilitated the majority of the capital raised for acquiring 145,834 BTC since the beginning of the year. Saylor indicated that the company aims to turn STRC into “the largest credit mechanism in the world.”
Strategy intends to aggressively increase its BTC purchases, the entrepreneur assured. He noted that with the easing of the monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), meaning cheaper loans, along with further Bitcoin price increases, the company is prepared to accelerate capital raising, actively issue STRC, increase leverage, and boost its acquisition of the leading cryptocurrency.
Strategy reported a net loss of $12.5 billion for the first quarter. This was attributed to a 23.8% decline in Bitcoin’s price during the reporting period. The corporation’s unrealized losses on digital assets reached $14.46 billion. As of May 3, Strategy holds 818,334 BTC—22% more than at the start of the year. The average purchase price of the coin was approximately $75,537, and the total balance sheet value of the company’s crypto assets reached about $61.81 billion.
Previously, Michael Saylor stated that the leading cryptocurrency could reach $10 million, but this would depend on the development of digital lending instruments.
