Strategy's $2.1 Billion Bitcoin Bet | CEO Defends Aggressive Accumulation

Описание: #stockmarket #businessnews #financialnews

Strategy CEO and president Phong Le defending the company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy after buying roughly $2.1 billion more BTC despite the stock falling nearly 60% over the past year. He argues 2026 will be a pivotal year for both Bitcoin and Strategy, highlighting a $65 billion Bitcoin balance and about $2.25 billion in cash reserves that support their preferred equity product, Stretch, which targets 11% tax-deferred dividends with what he describes as low to very low volatility. Le explains that Bitcoin only needs to rise around 1.5% annually to sustain those payouts over 60–100 years, framing the business as a play on “digital gold” and “digital transformation of capital” rather than traditional cash-flow-generating operations.

He positions Stretch as a superior leverage instrument versus convertible debt, calls the firm only about 10–15% leveraged relative to its Bitcoin assets, and outlines options to equitize, refinance, or pay down convertibles even in a severe Bitcoin drawdown. Finally, he points to upcoming U.S. market structure legislation and increased involvement from large banks—via stablecoins, Bitcoin-backed lending, and custody—as the two major catalysts that he believes will drive broader governmental and banking system embrace of Bitcoin over the next year.
