MicroStrategy MSTR - willwillis/thoughts-on-crypto GitHub Wiki

People keep saying MSTR will get margin called when BTC reaches 21k - from what I've read this is incorrect.

I'm jotting down what I think I know about this situation in the hopes to retain some of the details

The misunderstanding stems from a quote from this stream

"So we have 95,643 unencumbered Bitcoin, so we have more that we could contribute in the case that we have a lot of downward volatility, but again, we're talking $21,000 before we get to a point where there needs to be more of margin or more collateral to contribute. I think we're in a pretty comfortable place where we are right now"

  1. They have 95,643 BTC available to them if the price goes down
  2. at 21k they'd need to add more collateral, they're not getting called. And they have several ways to add to that collateral.
