MicroStrategy ($MSTR), the largest Bitcoin-holding company, has seen its stock price drop by over 55% recently. With ownership of over 499,096 bitcoins valued at around $43.7 billion, concerns about forced selling have resurfaced. The key question remains: Is forced selling possible? And if so, under what circumstances? MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holding strategy involves an average Bitcoin purchase cost of $66,350 per BTC. The company has aggressively accumulated bitcoins, making it a representative of Bitcoin exposure in the securities market. However, the ability to maintain this pattern largely depends on the following factors: raising funds through convertible bonds, Bitcoin price compared to the average purchase price, market confidence in MicroStrategy's financial health. In this context, a significant drop in Bitcoin price could have serious implications for MicroStrategy's financial situation. MicroStrategy's debt structure: MicroStrategy has total debts of $8.2 billion while holding $43.4 billion in bitcoins. Their current leverage ratio is about 19%, which is not very high compared to traditional leverage models. Most of MicroStrategy's debt is in the form of convertible bonds, with a conversion price lower than the current stock price. Additionally, most of these bonds are not due for repayment until 2028, providing the company with more time. The main question: Does this debt structure lead to forced liquidation? Short answer: Not immediately. A scenario of 'forced liquidation' would require MicroStrategy's creditors to request early debt repayment, which can only happen under certain conditions. Could MicroStrategy be forced to sell its bitcoins? To understand whether MicroStrategy should sell its held bitcoins or not, an analysis of credit agreements and reasons behind the sales is needed. The main risk factor will be the 'fundamental change' in the company. This may include: company insolvency, shareholder vote to dissolve the company, failure to comply with debt obligations at maturity. Currently, none of these conditions seem imminent. Michael Saylor's response to liquidation concerns: Michael Saylor, the co-founder and CEO of MicroStrategy, remains bullish on Bitcoin. In a recent statement, he dismissed concerns about liquidation by saying: 'Even if Bitcoin price drops to one dollar, we will not sell. We will only buy more Bitcoin.' While this statement shows confidence, it does not address potential risks when bondholders of the convertible bonds demand early redemption. Could Bitcoin price lead to a liquidation event? MicroStrategy's significant Bitcoin holdings pose substantial risks, and Bitcoin price would need to drop below the average purchase price of $66,350 and remain at that level for an extended period. Here are some potential outcomes of a sharp Bitcoin price decline: If Bitcoin drops by 50% from the current level, the possibility of raising new capital for MicroStrategy could significantly diminish. If Bitcoin continues to trade below $33,000 for an extended period, investors may start questioning the company's Bitcoin buying strategy. If MicroStrategy cannot restructure its debt or raise capital through stock issuance, the risk of forced liquidation may increase. Michael Saylor's voting rights and shareholder decisions: One of the key factors protecting MicroStrategy from forced liquidation is that Michael Saylor owns 46.8% of the voting rights in the company. This means that any liquidation or fundamental change cannot occur without Saylor's approval. Even with external pressures, Saylor has enough authority to prevent any forced asset sales through shareholder voting. Will MicroStrategy's strategy continue in a low-price market? A significant part of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin accumulation strategy relies on continuous fundraising to finance further Bitcoin purchases. However, in a sustained low-price market: demand from new stock investors may decrease, restricting capital inflows. Debt holders may demand higher interest rates or stricter terms if MicroStrategy is seeking additional funding sources. MicroStrategy will face challenges in maintaining its activities without selling bitcoins. Final verdict: Should MicroStrategy sell? It is unlikely in the short term: the debt structure and voting rights empower MicroStrategy to withstand fluctuations. It could happen under harsh conditions: If Bitcoin price drops below $30,000 for years and capital increase becomes impossible, then the risk will increase. Investor sentiment is crucial: If market confidence in MicroStrategy's strategy wanes, stock dilution and debt restructuring may become problematic. Currently, there is no immediate threat of liquidation for MicroStrategy, but the company's financial situation directly depends on Bitcoin price volatility. Conclusion: MicroStrategy remains a high-risk game with a substantial reward for Bitcoin. Although the company's strategy is very robust, Saylor's debt structure and control make forced liquidation difficult unless extreme financial difficulties arise. The biggest question in the future is whether investors will continue to support MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy in a prolonged bear market. Currently, the company is betting that Bitcoin will eventually reach new highs, making the company's strategy sustainable in the long run.
