Strategy CEO clarifies Bitcoin selling conditions: will only sell when it is beneficial to shareholders

Strategy CEO Phong Le confirmed that the company only sells Bitcoin under specific conditions. Previously, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor hinted at the possibility of selling Bitcoin to pay dividends, which led to a 4% drop in MSTR's stock price. Le stated that the decision to sell is primarily related to the Series A perpetual preferred stock Stretch (STRC, dividend yield 11.5%). The company will execute sales when it is more beneficial for shareholders to sell Bitcoin than to issue stock for dividend payments, with specific trigger conditions being the stock price falling below book value or mNAV falling below approximately 1.22. The second condition involves tax management, including realizing deferred gains or capturing tax losses. Le emphasized that the company's leverage is about 10%-15%, with a magnification rate of about 35%, and the financial situation is manageable.

Strategy currently holds 818,334 BTC, with an average price of approximately $75,537, making it the largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin in the world. Le pointed out that the daily trading volume of Bitcoin exceeds $60 billion, while the company's annual dividends are only about $1.5 billion, indicating that liquidity is not an issue, and stated, "I believe in math rather than ideology."
