The firm, widely known for its aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy, currently holds 714,644 BTC valued at roughly $49 billion. According to company statements, Bitcoin would need to fall nearly 88% to around $8,000 for its holdings to match the size of its convertible debt obligations.

Converting convertible notes into equity means bondholders would receive company shares instead of cash repayment at maturity. While this reduces debt pressure, it may dilute existing shareholders through additional stock issuance.

Strategy’s average Bitcoin purchase price stands near $76,000, placing the firm about 10% underwater with Bitcoin trading around $68,400. Shares of the company recently closed near $133.88, down roughly 70% from their mid-year peak.
