$960 million spent buying Bitcoin—MSTR is at it again.
According to data disclosed on Monday, between December 1–7, MSTR increased its holdings by 10,624 BTC—its largest weekly purchase since July.
Where did the money come from? No new debt was issued.
This time, they mainly diluted themselves: selling 442,500 shares of STRD preferred stock, raising $34.9 million; then selling 5,127,700 shares of MSTR common stock, cashing out $928.1 million. Combined, these two moves just about cover the $962.7 million budget for this round of Bitcoin purchases.
Some people are worried: MSTR is starting to sell its own stock—is it about to collapse?
In the short term, that's unlikely.
The key date is February 2027—that’s when MSTR’s first real principal repayment on debt comes due. Right now, they’re only paying interest, not principal. Many people confuse “paying interest” with “repaying debt”—they're not the same thing.
Michael Saylor’s logic is actually pretty clear: if they can survive the potential bear market period between 2027–2029, their strategy will have succeeded.
According to his plan, the goal is to hold 1 million BTC. If Bitcoin rises to $1 million per coin (which will take time and market cooperation), MSTR’s net assets would be at the $1 trillion level.
At that point, it could truly become one of the world’s most valuable companies.
Of course, the premise is they have to make it through.

Selling stocks to buy the dip, this guy is really bold, betting that Bitcoin will rise to 1 million USD.

Selling stocks to buy coins—this move is really like writing your own suspense thriller.
Laughing until crying, see you in 2027 for the verdict.
Saylor's betting strategy is either a huge win or complete failure, with no middle ground.
But to be fair, paying interest and repaying debt are two different things; most people haven't really understood that.
The real test is surviving from 2027 to 2029. Right now, all dreams are hanging on that point in time.

Saylor is playing a big game; we'll see how it turns out in 2027.
To put it bluntly, it's a matter of belief—he'll either win big or go down with it.
This move looks crazy, but it's logically consistent. I have to admit, I'm impressed.
If you can't survive the bear market, it's all for nothing. Time will tell everything.

It's another one of Saylor's gambler games, playing really aggressively.

Selling his own stocks to buy crypto, that's really gutsy.
Betting there won't be a bear market in 2027? That's a bit risky.
Speaking of Saylor's strategy, he'll either become a legend or... well, let's not talk about it.

Selling stocks to buy crypto, this logic is interesting from a capital structure perspective. It's worth noting that the real stress test will come in 2027; right now, it's just the interest payment phase. For Saylor’s move to succeed, he has to bet on both the BTC price increase and the timing of the cycle—any black swan event in between could overturn the entire assumption. But essentially, this approach is making an extreme leveraged bet. Is the risk-reward ratio acceptable?

Selling his own company's stock to buy coins—this guy is really all in.
Or in other words, Saylor is basically betting that BTC has to skyrocket before 2027, or else it's truly game over.
