Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Hoard Is Underwater — But Not About to Press the Panic Button
However, underwater doesn’t mean forced to sell. Strategy’s stash isn’t pledged as collateral in any way that could trigger margin calls or fire sales. There’s no ticking clock or liquidation mechanic that says they have to dump coins just because the price dipped below their cost basis.
So what actually happens when you’re sitting on a loss like this? Two big impacts — and neither is a panic trigger:
- Fundraising gets harder: Historically, Strategy funded more Bitcoin buys by issuing new shares through at-the-market offerings (ATM). That only works well when the stock trades at a premium to the net asset value (NAV) of its BTC holdings. With Bitcoin down, Strategy’s share price now trades at a discount to NAV, meaning that selling stock dilutes shareholders more, making future capital raises less attractive.
- Buying slows, it doesn’t stop: With the stock trading lower relative to BTC value, the company’s ability to fund big Bitcoin purchases without diluting shareholders is constrained. This isn’t existential — it’s tactical. In 2022, when a similar discount persisted, Strategy added only about 10,000 Bitcoin over the whole year.
On the other side of the ledger: Strategy’s debt load — roughly $8.3B in convertible notes — looks scary at a glance, but that debt doesn’t force near-term Bitcoin sales either. They can roll maturities or convert debt into equity, and the first major notes aren’t due until late 2027.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release
The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
