Michael Saylor’s Bold Plan: Turning Debt into Equity with a Smile

by

Lo and behold, the grand design to metamorphose a staggering $6 billion worth of convertible debt into equity unfolds over the span of three to six years, while our dear Michael cradles 714,644 BTC, a treasure trove valued at a whopping $49 billion.

Ah, the illustrious Michael Saylor, a figure whose audacity rivals that of a Dostoevsky hero, has laid bare his ambitions-nay, his master plan! The firm, Strategy, embarks on a multi-year venture to transmute its burdensome $6 billion in convertible bond debt into the shimmering gold of equity. All this while the tumultuous tides of the Bitcoin market crash and roar around them!

Saylor Unveils a Grandiose 3-6 Year Scheme to Transfigure Convertible Debt

Our intrepid founder, Saylor, proclaims with fervor that the firm shall equitize its convertible debt over the next three to six years. An exhilarating proclamation, indeed!

The company, laden with approximately $6 billion in bond obligations, plans to transform these bonds into stock. Why pay cash when you can wield the wand of conversion?

“Our plan is to equitize our convertible debt over the next 3-6 years.”

– Michael Saylor (@saylor)

Equitizing, a term that dances on the tongue like a witty jest, signifies that bondholders will receive shares instead of mere notes-a delightful exchange indeed!

This clever maneuver lightens the load on the balance sheet, alleviating the heavy burden of repayment. However, one must ponder: does issuing new shares not dilute the very essence of existing shareholders? A conundrum worthy of Raskolnikov’s contemplation!

On the ever-vibrant social platform X, the company declared its resilience against a potential Bitcoin nosedive. “Strategy can withstand a drawdown in BTC price to $8,000 and still have sufficient assets to fully cover our debt,” they confidently asserted, prompting Saylor to address this audacious claim publicly.

Bitcoin Reserves and the Art of Downside Coverage

In a twist most tantalizing, Strategy clutches approximately 714,644 BTC, glimmering with a value of about $49 billion as per the current market prices. Truly, the firm has amassed one of the largest corporate Bitcoin reserves known to man!

Its holdings far surpass the weighty obligations of its convertible debt. According to the firm’s calculations, Bitcoin would need to plummet by a staggering 88% for their reserves’ value to align with their debt. Even in such dire straits, they insist they could fulfill their obligations-a bold claim anchored on the present reserve levels.

The average purchase price of this Bitcoin bounty hovers around $76,000 per coin. With Bitcoin languishing near $68,400, the firm finds itself nursing a meager 10% loss on its overall position. Oh, the sweet agony of price volatility!

Stock Performance Amidst Ongoing Accumulation

In a display of resilience, Strategy shares recently soared by 8.8% to close at $133.88 as the week drew to a close. This buoyancy followed a fleeting recovery of Bitcoin towards the $70,000 mark, only to retreat back into the high $68,000 abyss.

Despite this recent surge, Strategy’s stock remains a shadow of its former self, standing about 70% below its mid-July apex of $456. A tale of decline that mirrors the broader malaise afflicting Bitcoin, which has succumbed to a 50% drop from its early October zenith. Such are the whims of unstable market conditions!

Saylor, ever the visionary, hinted at yet another potential Bitcoin purchase by sharing the company’s accumulation chart on X. Such announcements often precede new acquisitions, and if confirmed, it would herald an astonishing twelfth consecutive week of Bitcoin accumulation by the company-a feat befitting a tragic hero!
