MicroStrategy, the business intelligence firm led by Michael Saylor, continues to strengthen its position in bitcoin despite market fluctuations. According to new research published by capital advisor Jeff Walton, MicroStrategy could survive a BTC price drop of up to $20,000 without suffering significant losses. How ?
Bitcoin drop to $20,000 doesn't scare MicroStrategy
For several years, MicroStrategy has adopted a bold strategy by accumulating billions of dollars in bitcoins. This approach has often been criticized, particularly due to the volatility inherent in cryptocurrencies. However, Walton claims that even an 80% correction in the BTC price would not jeopardize the company's cash flow.
Walton's analysis shows that the price of bitcoin would have to fall to $18,826 for MicroStrategy's assets to be worth less than its liabilities. This resilience is due to the way the company has structured its investments and the rapid increase in the value of BTC over time. In November, the price of BTC increased by almost 40%, further strengthening MicroStrategy's position.
Future prospects
Charles Edwards, founder of the quantitative fund Capriole Investments, emphasizes that institutional demand for bitcoin is “absolutely crazy”. He notes that MicroStrategy is just one player in this new institutional investment environment. In fact, 13.5% of all bitcoins are now held by institutions and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a figure that is steadily increasing.
Edwards predicts that the peak of the current BTC bull market is only just beginning, with mass “fear of missing out” (FOMO) only expected to manifest once the price of bitcoin surpasses $100,000. This optimistic outlook is shared by many analysts who see institutional adoption as a key factor in Bitcoin's future growth.
In short, despite the criticism and risks associated with BTC volatility, MicroStrategy appears well positioned to withstand a significant drop in bitcoin prices. The company's growing institutional demand and bold investment strategy may well pay off in the long term.
