Strategy stock falls 11% as Bitcoin slips below $90K, sparking liquidation fears

Strategy stock plunged 11% on Feb. 25 as Bitcoin slipped below $90,000, raising concerns about a possible liquidation due to the company’s massive Bitcoin exposure. With 499,096 Bitcoin ( BTC ) valued at around $44 billion, Strategy is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, making its financial stability closely tied to the asset’s price movements. The sharp drop has fueled speculation of a possible forced liquidation. However, in a Feb. 25 X post, capital market analysts The Kobeissi Letter noted that these concerns are exaggerated. Strategy currently holds $8.2 billion in debt against its ~$44 billion in Bitcoin, maintaining a leverage ratio of around 19%. To lower the risk of an immediate default, the majority of this debt is structured as convertible notes with conversion values below the current stock price. Liquidation-related market panic is not new. Similar worries surfaced during Bitcoin’s 2022 plunge from $70,000 to $15,000, yet Strategy kept buying Bitcoin. The company’s business plan is centered around raising capital, buying Bitcoin, and treating its holdings as assets rather than liabilities. The MicroStrategy liquidation: As MicroStrategy, $MSTR , falls over -55%, many are asking about "forced liquidation." The company now holds $44 BILLION worth of Bitcoin, could they be forced to sell it? Is liquidation even possible? Let us explain.

Investor trust might wane if Bitcoin dropped sharply below Strategy’s average purchase price of $66,350. Given the company’s financial structure, a forced liquidation would require a fundamental corporate event like bankruptcy or a stockholder decision, both of which remain unlikely. Michael Saylor, Stategy’s founder, has downplayed fears about liquidation and emphasized the company’s long-term Bitcoin plan. In 2025, Strategy has already bought over 50,000 Bitcoin and is currently holding around 2% of the cryptocurrency’s supply. As of Feb. 26, Bitcoin is trading around $88,500 after briefly dipping below $90,000. The cryptocurrency has dropped over 5% in the past 24 hours and remains down nearly 20% from its all-time high of $109,000. Read more: Strategy’s Saylor urges US to buy 20% of Bitcoin’s supply
