Bitcoin News: Is Strategy Under Too Much Debt? $2B Bond Sale Raises Questions

Strategy is making headlines again with its aggressive Bitcoin strategy. The company is raising $2 billion through a private sale of convertible bonds, set to mature in 2030. These bonds won’t pay regular interest, but investors can choose to convert them into cash or Strategy’s Class A shares. The goal? To secure $1.9 billion – mostly to buy even more Bitcoin.

It’s an aggressive strategy, but so far, it’s working. Strategy’s stock has surged 372% over the past year, making it one of the best-performing stocks in the U.S. market.

Some investors are raising concerns, and one of them isn’t holding back.

Jason Calacanis Questions the Strategy

Angel investor Jason Calacanis is skeptical. He believes Strategy should be valued lower than its Bitcoin holdings because of its growing debt. He also raises concerns about asset security, pointing out that shareholders don’t actually control the company’s Bitcoin.

Another issue, he argues, is whether CEO Michael Saylor Michael Saylor at microstrategy Michael Saylor is an American technology entrepreneur who leads enterprise software development and serves as a top supporter of Bitcoin adoption for businesses. As MicroStrategy's co-founder and executive chairman, he created corporate interest in digital assets through his development of Bitcoin investment methods, institutional Bitcoin adoption strategies, and corporate Bitcoin treasury management systems.

According to Calacanis, every time Strategy buys more, it means someone else thinks their money is better used elsewhere.

Could Strategy’s Stock Still Surge?

Even with his doubts, Calacanis isn’t betting against Strategy. He admits the stock could keep rising in the short term. So far, the numbers support that view—Strategy’s stock climbed 1.6% on Thursday and has jumped 352% in the past year, far outpacing the S&P 500’s 23.5% gain.

Despite falling 30% from its November peak, the stock is still up over 700% in three years, showing strong investor confidence.

The Bigger Picture: A $21 Billion Goal

The $2 billion bond sale is just part of a much larger plan. Strategy ultimately aims to raise $21 billion over the next three years through stocks, bonds, and preferred shares. However, the success of this plan depends on market conditions. If things don’t go as expected, the company may need to adjust its approach.

To address investor concerns, Strategy recently held a webinar explaining its strategy, but key questions remain. Can the company keep buying Bitcoin at this pace without liquidity issues? Will its rising debt become a long-term problem?
