In a recent interview with CNBC, Saylor said that even if Bitcoin were to fall 80 to 90 percent, the company would “still be fine” and continue to operate normally.
Its confidence comes from a strategy that combines traditional financial structures with a long-term view of digital assets.
A strategy modeled on a modern bank
Saylor explained that Strategy uses an approach similar to that of a well-run bank. Instead of relying solely on common stock or traditional debt securities, the company issues preferred stock. Preferred stock is a type of investment that falls between debt and common stock. It pays dividends, but these dividends are not fixed like the interest on a loan. They are declared by the board of directors where applicable. Since there is no required coupon or maturity date, the company cannot default on this structure.
This gives MicroStrategy more room to maneuver during volatile markets. When the price of Bitcoin falls, the company is not forced to pay rigid debts. When the price increases, common shareholders always benefit from the increase. It is a structure designed to absorb shocks, much like a bank that uses various sources of capital to protect itself in the event of an economic downturn.
A concrete example of this type of resilience can be seen in how banks handled the sharp market swings of early 2020. Institutions with well-balanced capital structures recovered more quickly and continued to lend, while those with heavy short-term debt faced pressure. MicroStrategy follows a similar playbook with Bitcoin at the center.
