Key points from the interview:
1. Will they sell BTC?
➠ Dollar reserves will be sufficient to pay dividends until 2029.
➠ Even if Bitcoin's price halves and remains low, Strategy's BTC reserves will be sufficient to pay dividends until approximately 2065.
➠ If Bitcoin's price doesn't rise and remains at its current level, reserves will be sufficient to pay dividends until approximately 2100.
➠ If BTC grows by 1.25% annually, dividends can be paid indefinitely.
But most importantly: Dividend payments are the priority. If a three-year crypto winter begins in 2029 and the NAV drops, Strategy will sell BTC.
2. Buying almost $1 billion.
➠ Last week, Strategy bought back almost $1 billion worth of BTC.
➠ The reasons are simple: the stock price improved, mNAV increased, and liquidity was high.
➠ Strategy buys BTC when it's beneficial for shareholders, not to send a bullish signal to the market.
3. Strategy's Capital Structure
➠ Strategy has a very low leverage – ~11% for convertible bonds and ~25% if you include preferred bonds.
➠ By comparison, the average S&P 500 company holds about 60% debt, while the most leveraged companies reach 200-300%.
➠ Strategy replaced regular maturing debt with perpetual preferred bonds. This reduced the pressure to repay the debt and effectively turned borrowed funds into permanent capital.
➠ The company's instruments yield investors approximately 10.75% plus provide tax advantages.
4. Conflict with MSCI.
➠ MSCI proposed excluding companies with more than 50% of their assets in digital assets.
➠ Strategy is an operating company, not a fund.
➠ The 50% threshold is arbitrary and unfeasible.
➠ Indices should be neutral, not political.
➠ If their logic were applied, Chevron, Newmont, and many companies in the commodities and real estate sectors would be removed from the indices.
➠ The industry is still too young to be stifled.
5. Forecasts for 2026.
➠ The US government is already providing regulatory clarity: the GENIUS Act has been passed, and the CLARITY Act is on the way.
➠ Strategy's CEO expects a full-scale entry of traditional banks into the crypto industry: JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, TD. ➠ They will begin offering cryptocurrency storage, exchanges, lending, and staking.
➠ 2026 will mark the intersection of DeFi and traditional finance.
