With nearly 19.84 million BTC circulating from its limited supply of 21 million, investor enthusiasm is evident.

On the technical front, the recent symmetrical triangle breakout on Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart signals strong bullish sentiment.

Breaking decisively above the critical pivot point of $86,462, BTC surged toward a significant resistance level at $89,024.

This rally marks a critical turning point, although BTC has now entered a mild corrective phase, illustrating natural short-term profit-taking.

The key level to watch closely is $86,400, as holding this support could catalyze another bullish upswing toward resistances of $90,750 and $92,800.

• Bullish breakout triggered at pivot $86,462.
• Current correction at resistance $89,024.
• Crucial support at $86,400 for bullish continuity.

Saylor’s $711 Million Bitcoin Bet

Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, is ready to bolster BTC investments after successfully raising approximately $711 million through a new preferred share issuance priced at $85 each.

A provocative hint via his X account—captioned “needs more orange”—suggests a sizeable BTC acquisition may be imminent.

This follows Strategy’s recent Bitcoin purchase of 130 BTC for $10.7 million, boosting their total holdings to 499,226 BTC. Saylor remains bullish, suggesting the U.S. government could own as much as 25% of Bitcoin by 2035.

Historically, Saylor’s moves have significantly impacted market confidence, attracting institutional attention and potentially driving BTC prices higher amid current macroeconomic volatility.

U.S. Dollar’s Decline Boosts Bitcoin Appeal

Renowned economist Peter Schiff recently warned of a possible collapse of the U.S. dollar, citing America’s dependency on foreign production and persistent trade deficits. Schiff argues this unsustainable scenario could severely weaken dollar value, forcing a challenging economic shift toward increased domestic production and savings.

Schiff’s cautionary stance could inadvertently bolster Bitcoin’s status as a safe-haven asset, potentially driving demand amid rising fears of dollar instability. Historically, weakening confidence in fiat currencies has correlated with increased adoption of Bitcoin, emphasizing its value preservation attributes.

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, revealed that it secured over $700 million from a recent preferred stock offering designed to purchase more Bitcoin.

On March 21, the firm confirmed the sale of 8.5 million shares of its Series A Perpetual STRF Preferred Stock. Each share was priced at $85 and offered a 10% annual dividend.

Strategy’s STRF aimed initially to raise $500 million, but it surpassed the target by over 40% by raising $711 million.

This latest issue does not allow conversion into common shares, unlike the company’s previous STRK offering, which came with an 8% yield and conversion rights.

Jeff Park, head of alpha strategies at Bitwise, pointed out that investor appetite for STRF was driven by fixed income rather than exposure to Strategy’s volatile stock.

He noted that the higher yield and improved pricing terms contributed to the stronger response, which contributed to STRF raising more funds than STRK.

Can Strategy sustain its Bitcoin-first model?

While the capital raise boosts Strategy’s buying power, concerns about the company’s ability to manage long-term obligations are growing.

Strategy holds over 499,000 BTC—worth over $40 billion—and has built its corporate identity around aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. However, its decision to avoid selling holdings has left the company with limited liquidity.

Bitwise pointed out that this situation has led to a drop in liquidity ratios. Its cash ratio has fallen from 2.10 in 2019 to just 0.11 in 2024.

However, Bitwise maintains that bankruptcy risk remains low. Even under a severe scenario—Bitcoin dropping to $30,000 by September 2027—the company would only need to liquidate about 7.3% of its Bitcoin to meet a $1.1 billion bond obligation.

Nevertheless, Bitwise has suggested new strategies to strengthen the firm’s cash flow. One recommendation involves lending half of its Bitcoin at a 4% annual return, which could generate enough income to cover interest payments and dividends.

Another approach includes covered call options, a method already adopted by firms like Japan’s Metaplanet.

Bitwise concluded that the recent implementation of FASB would allow Strategy to report its BTC holdings at their fair market value, which would:

“Enable the company to reflect its Bitcoin holdings more accurately, leading to a higher reported book value and more transparent financials. As a result, Strategy’s earnings volatility will decrease, better aligning its financial statements with its long-term Bitcoin strategy.”
