Today the stock trades near $344, carrying an mNAV of about 1.58x.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">potential spiral of doom looming for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MicroStrategy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@MicroStrategy<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 sell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24MSTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$MSTR<\/a> shares to service debt<br \/>\n\u2013 dilute shareholders further each time<br \/>\n\u2013 shares become worth less<br \/>\n\u2013 interest payments mount<br \/>\n\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24MSTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$MSTR<\/a> sell its bitcoin to pay interest<\/p>\n<p>how do you think this ends? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BfMPH4JHfo\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/BfMPH4JHfo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dom | EasyA (@dom_kwok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dom_kwok\/status\/1957801027853324701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Experts Warn Of A Downward Spiral<\/h2>\n<p>According to Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, the plan risks trapping the company in a \u201cspiral of doom.\u201d He warns that repeated share issuance dilutes existing holders.<\/p>\n<p>That can push the share price down. Lower stock then forces more stock sales to raise cash. Over time, this cycle can accelerate.<\/p>\n<p>It is a simple math problem that becomes painful when markets wobble. Reports suggest this is the core fear among many independent analysts.<\/p>\n<p>How Share Dilution Could Escalate<\/p>\n<p>Strategy\u2019s balance sheet moves are paired with a core bet: keep adding Bitcoin and hold it. The firm\u2019s 629,376 BTC is the largest corporate reserve anywhere, and that scale gives the company credibility when prices rise.<\/p>\n<p>Yet buying more by issuing stock ties the treasury to the share market. According to the update, the company\u2019s average buy price of $73,320 still leaves room for gains, but the link between stock issuance and Bitcoin buying raises a structural issue.<\/p>\n<p>If earnings, interest costs or investor sentiment shift, the math could flip fast.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from BestHDWallpaper.com, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy added 430 Bitcoin on Aug. 17, spending a little over $51 million at an average of roughly $119,666 a coin.
