With convertible debt around $6 billion, the asset value would only match the debt if the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price fell by 88%.<\/p>\n<p>Debt equitization involves exchanging bonds for shares instead of cash repayment. Creditors become co-owners of the company, reducing balance sheet pressure but diluting existing shareholders&#8217; stakes due to additional share issuance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Losses and New Purchases<\/h2>\n<p>Strategy&#8217;s average Bitcoin purchase price is approximately $76,000. At the current rate of $68,400, the company&#8217;s unrealized loss is estimated at 10%.<\/p>\n<p>On February 15, Saylor published a chart of reserve accumulation, typically indicating a forthcoming deal. The purchase would be the twelfth in a row, despite market corrections.<\/p>\n<p>MSTR shares closed the trading week up 8.8%, reaching $133.88. The shares trade 70% below the historical high of $456 set in mid-July.
