As an insight into the options the company has, the research firm noted potential conversion of the convertible notes to MSTR stock. Besides this, the Michael Saylor-led firm can refinance its debts. As Arkham noted, the option to sell its Bitcoin holdings will only come into the conversation if Strategy is unable to raise additional funds.

From Peter Schiff to other gold bugs, Strategy has always been criticized for its Bitcoin bets. However, Michael Saylor has reiterated the commitment to the asset with no plans to sell $BTC. This comes amid sustained $BTC purchases announced on almost a weekly basis.
According to Arkham, Saylor remains the primary key to the company offloading its Bitcoin bag. For now, it noted that selling common stock to fund $BTC purchases does not create a future cash obligation for Strategy.
With this reality, the average price is not considered relevant to whether Saylor or the company has to sell its Bitcoin. With its adopted financing model, the company can choose to remain underwater for as long as convertible note obligations are met.
