We can cover our debt even if Bitcoin falls to $25k, says Strategy

Key Takeaways 

Can Strategy cover its debt? 

Yes. According to the firm, it had a 5.9x assets-to-debt ratio if BTC slips to $74k or 2x cover if it crashes to $25k. 

How did the community react to the assurance? 

Investors remain skeptical as the MSCI delisting review looms over MSTR’s mid-term outlook. 


Michael Saylor’s Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) is in a war mode. It has been fending off double pressure from the MSCI index exclusion threat and FUD linked to its debt obligations if the Bitcoin price drops lower. 

On the latter, the firm assured that it has sufficient assets to cover its debt obligations, even if BTC drops to its cost basis of $74k or crashes further.

Strategy funds its BTC buys through capital raised either via debt or the sale of its main MSTR stock and other preferred stocks (they have different obligations). 

For convertible debt, Strategy owes $8.2 billion, with the first maturity in September 2028. 

If adjusted for obligations tied to preferred stocks, the total debt was $15.9 billion. Compared to its total assets, Strategy reported 3.6x assets to cover its liabilities if BTC slips to $74k. 

Market reactions to Strategy’s debt update

However, the Strategy’s assurance was met with skepticism. One critic claimed that the firm’s crisis will be crypto’s tragedy.

Another analyst, Ritesh, said that the firm was already preparing for a ‘bear market strategy.’

In fact, another user, Nebraskan Gooner, quipped

Perhaps one of the caveats of BTC dropping below $74k or to $25k is that Strategy’s crypto holdings relative to enterprise value, or mNAV, will fall to nearly zero. 

That would be an extremely bearish sign, and the mNAV can be boosted by buying back the stock, either by selling BTC holdings or taking on additional debt. 

In the meantime, the mid-January 2026 MSCI review of MSTR could determine the firm’s fate.

Given the Strategy and crypto treasuries’ influence on BTC and the broader crypto market, the update could set the direction for crypto in the mid-term. 

That said, Strategy holds 641,692 BTC and is custodied by Coinbase and Fidelity; however, only 92% of the stash is traceable on-chain, according to Arkham.

As of writing, BTC traded at $87k, about 15% away from Strategy’s cost basis of $74k.

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.

BitGo wins BaFIN nod to offer regulated crypto trading in Europe

                                                                               BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate.                     BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
