Michael Saylor’s Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) has unveiled a public dashboard that shows investors precisely how well its Bitcoin holdings cover its outstanding debt and preferred stock obligations.

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the Bitcoin Credit Model on Aug. 12, offering a new layer of transparency into the balance sheet risks carried by the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

The tool breaks down Strategy’s liabilities instrument by instrument, borrowing the color-coded language of traditional bond ratings to classify each obligation as Investment Grade, High Yield, or Distressed.

The model runs on what Saylor calls a “10% BTC ARR reference case,” a baseline assumption that Bitcoin will return 10% annually over time.

It also tracks credit spreads and coverage ratios, showing investors how much Bitcoin backs each specific liability at any given price level.

At a Bitcoin price of around $64,000, the model values Strategy’s reserve at $53.85 billion, providing a real-time snapshot of the company’s collateral position.

Strategy held 843,775 BTC at the close of the second quarter, a position that sits against roughly $6.71 billion in convertible notes and several series of preferred stock.

The company’s notional preferred stock outstanding totals $15.5 billion following recent capital restructuring, making the combined debt and preferred obligations a significant figure to monitor.

Despite those liabilities, the model calculates that only a 3.22% annual Bitcoin return would be needed to meet all obligations, well below the 10% baseline assumption built into the tool.

Strategy CEO Phong Le has said Bitcoin would need to fall into the $8,000 to $10,000 range, roughly 84% to 88% below then-current levels, for serious financial problems to emerge.

The dashboard’s 1.0x coverage rating holds even at a Bitcoin price of $21,000, meaning creditors across all instruments would remain whole even in a severe price collapse scenario.

The disclosure arrives during a turbulent stretch for the company, which sold 1,690 Bitcoin between Aug. 3 and Aug. 9 at an average price of $64,262, generating approximately $108.6 million in proceeds.

Those proceeds were used to buy back preferred stock, according to a securities filing, reflecting the company’s ongoing efforts to manage its liability structure actively.

The sales followed a second quarter in which Strategy reported an $8.22 billion net loss, driven largely by an unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings.

By anchoring the coverage debate to a publicly accessible model, Saylor has given both bulls and bears a concrete framework to assess the company’s financial resilience against Bitcoin price swings.
