In the smoke-filled, jargon-choked war rooms of modern corporate crypto, the first casualty is always plain truth, buried under layers of carefully spun PR meant to soothe skittish investors and hide the messy gears of profit-seeking behind a mask of ideological righteousness. Take Strategy CEO Phong Le’s latest performance: last week, he sat for a June 13 interview to address the company’s sale of 32 Bitcoin-a rounding error, a drop in the bucket against their 845,256 BTC hoard-and declared, with a straight face, that the sale was not a sign the firm was scrambling for cash to cover dividend obligations. Oh no. It was a test.
if Bitcoin crashes sharply and Strategy’s share price stays weak, the company could sell Bitcoin to meet those obligations. Of course, Le insists the company could also refinance those debts or convert them to equity instead, making a Bitcoin sale just one of many options if market conditions worsen. It is a bold claim from a man whose company’s entire value proposition is built on hoarding Bitcoin, but we are expected to take him at his word, just as Soviet citizens were expected to believe the state store shelves would be fully stocked by next Tuesday.
As previously reported by crypto.news, mere days after the 32 BTC “test” sale, Strategy bought 1,550 BTC for roughly $101.3 million between June 1 and June 7. The purchase lifted its total holdings to 845,256 BTC, and the company also raised its US dollar reserve to $1 billion, because nothing says “we have no need for cash” like dropping over $100 million on more Bitcoin the second you finish your little test run.
Saylor’s New Metric Is Just A Way To Hide Risk, As All Corporate Metrics Are
The debate rages as Michael Saylor, Strategy’s resident crypto evangelist, has spent recent days pushing a new metric he calls Common Equity Bitcoin Exposure BPS, or CEBE BPS, which he claims is the conservative, responsible way to measure the company’s Bitcoin exposure. Earlier today, crypto.news reported that Saylor said the older Bitcoin Per Share metric tracks common equity growth, while CEBE BPS subtracts debt and preferred stock claims first to show how much Bitcoin exposure is left for common shareholders after senior claims are paid. Saylor calls CEBE BPS the “conservative risk metric,” a framing that matters a great deal because Strategy’s Bitcoin model now includes debt, preferred stock and dividend costs. The gap between Bitcoin per share and CEBE BPS will widen as senior claims grow, of course-but Saylor would have you believe that is a feature, not a warning sign, a sign of just how “conservative” the company’s risk management really is. One is reminded of the Soviet planners who redefined “grain shortage” as “temporary logistical surplus adjustment” when the harvest came up short, and expected the populace to nod along and call it common sense.
