Summary
MicroStrategy’s $15 billion preferred stock structure is under fire as annual Bitcoin dividend payouts hit $1.5 billion — and analysts worry the company might be forced to sell some crypto to cover costs. With five different preferred share classes, recent bond buybacks look puzzling amid pressure. CEO Phong Le confirmed Bitcoin sales are “a real possibility” — but the goal remains holding more Bitcoin overall, and more per share. Prediction markets now give a 90% chance they’ll sell by end of 2026, down to 18% by May 2025. This year alone, they’ve added 170K BTC to their 843K+ stash, bought at an average of $75,700 — a high-stakes financial dance with crypto.
