MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’

[Free Market Capitalist]

On getting STRC back to $100, the filing is more specific than the guesswork. Strategy puts the target between $99 and $100 and lists dividend rate adjustments as one of several tools, alongside USD Reserve management, BTC monetization and repurchases of STRC itself. Then it says outright: "We will not necessarily increase the STRC dividend rate solely because STRC trades below its $100 per share stated amount."

So, at the end of the day, Strategy's "strategy" involves constantly changing the strategy depending on how Saylor's ideas change, which, as we can see, happens quite often. In other words, it's basically the same as not having a strategy at all. It's pretty funny that the company is called Strategy. The only thing missing from the equation is the Saylormooners cheering at every new twist and turn.

I just came across a thread that showed Strategy CEO phong le stated that Strategy would be the Central Bank of Bitcoin.
Irony is dead: Strategy says they are Bitcoin's "Central Bank"
Despite all they have been doing i still had a little hope that with a rally they would be okay
But this just shows that they don't even understand what Bitcoin is.
Now I'm really concerned about their future.

Looks like their strategy changes every time Saylor's mind change, what he did is actually look like they are doing improvisation and just dressed it up or portray as a vision.

That's the irony for changing their name as Strategy since it looks like they are now relying on hype and cheers from their blind followers. What we are seeing right now it seems pure theatrics with no serious planning.

Also look what they are doing now they are selling their BTC to buy STRC and that shows they are not truly committed on Bitcoin. They just use its fame to get good leverage from it.

I’ll add a little more to the discussion about the Strategy CEO interview, because not all of the important points were mentioned...

In his latest interview with Fox Business, Strategy CEO said that the company will return to actively buying Bitcoin later this year.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6403184912112
According to him, Strategy hasn’t given up on buying Bitcoin at all, and the sales over the past few weeks are just a temporary tactic. Since the beginning of the year, the company has bought around 175,000 BTC and sold about 7,000 BTC, meaning it has bought roughly 25 times more Bitcoin than it has sold.

The recent BTC sales are not so much about the price of Bitcoin, but rather about Strategy’s desire to significantly increase its dollar reserve. According to Le, the reserve has grown from around $800 million to $4.75 billion over the past few months.

This reserve is mainly needed to strengthen their digital credit and preferred stock structure: dividend payments on STRC and the other preferred shares need to look reliable even during a prolonged Bitcoin downturn. According to Le, the current reserve is enough to cover roughly 2.7 years of dividend payments.

The company’s CEO also said that Bitcoin has already been in a bear market for eight months, while Strategy still hasn’t had any financial problems, which is basically true as well...

And most importantly, there was one very important point that many Bitcoiners didn’t really understand - it was only in 2026 that they realized institutional investors don’t treat liquid Bitcoin as the equivalent of dollars.

In other words, the argument that “we have hundreds of thousands of BTC, so the dividends are covered” doesn’t really work for credit investors. For them, having several billion dollars in actual cash is much more important. That’s exactly why Strategy is now holding a much larger dollar reserve.

So basically, Strategy is now changing its risk management model. Before, the logic was almost “maximum Bitcoin, minimum cash.” Now they recognize that having a huge BTC balance alone isn’t enough to develop STRC/STRF/STRK... - investors also want to see a clear and long-lasting dollar reserve to cover dividend payments.

So selling, say, 1,000–2,000 BTC right now doesn’t mean they’re moving away from their original Bitcoin strategy. They’re sacrificing a small portion of their Bitcoin holdings to make the preferred shares more reliable and reduce concerns that, during a prolonged Bitcoin downturn, they might have to suddenly sell BTC just to cover dividend payments.

So yeah, this is basically a pretty concise answer to all the questions we had earlier...

I don't really watch Saylor or Le videos anymore—after having watched practically all of them over the course of a couple of years—but since you brought it up:

And most importantly, there was one very important point that many Bitcoiners didn’t really understand - it was only in 2026 that they realized institutional investors don’t treat liquid Bitcoin as the equivalent of dollars.

That's a big pile of bull crap.

Basically, he's saying that institutional investors are idiots. Every institutional investor knows that Bitcoin is the most liquid digital asset—even investors who don’t own Bitcoin and don’t believe in it. Even Peter Schiff knows about Bitcoin’s liquidity. Who are they trying to fool?

It's gotten to the point where the bubble they live in is completely detached from reality, and since they have a whole bunch of yes-men who applaud every piece of nonsense they spout, they believe their own lies.

Le had better watch out—his nose is getting longer.
