The post Big Bull Strategy CEO Responds to Claims They Will Sell Bitcoin! “FUD” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MicroStrategy CEO Phong Le appeared on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” program and made critical statements about the company’s Bitcoin (BTC) strategy, market fluctuations, and their recent capital increase. Le argued that the company maintains its capacity to provide financing even during periods of decline in the BTC price. Phong Le responded to the market rumors that MicroStrategy would default on its dividend obligations or be forced to sell Bitcoin.

We did this both to put an end to the rumors and to prove that we can still raise money even when Bitcoin is in a down cycle. Le, who admitted that the company acts like a “leveraged” version of Bitcoin, said, “While Bitcoin has 50% volatility, we have 70%.

Le humorously explained that, according to current projections, such a liquidity squeeze would only be possible in very long-term scenarios: “If we run out of liquidity and lose access to the US dollar, we might be forced to sell. But by our calculations, that won’t happen until 2065. By then, I probably won’t be in this business.” Recalling that Bitcoin has seen an average annual increase of 45% over the last five years, Le argued that the debate about… The post Big Bull Strategy CEO Responds to Claims They Will Sell Bitcoin! “FUD” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
