Strategy CEO Phong Le has sought to reassure investors that the company’s balance sheet remains resilient despite Bitcoin’s latest downturn, arguing that the cryptocurrency would need to suffer an extraordinary collapse before its debt obligations become a meaningful concern.
Meanwhile, the comments come as Bitcoin continues to trade well below recent highs, prompting renewed scrutiny of Strategy’s highly leveraged Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Despite the volatility, the company’s leadership maintains that its capital structure is designed to withstand prolonged bear markets.
Speaking on Wednesday during an interview with Bloomberg, Le said Strategy has ample financial flexibility and sees little immediate risk from Bitcoin’s recent weakness.
“Yeah when Bitcoin gets down closer to $8,000 to $10,000 is when we’re going to have, you know, we have to consider some of the risk associated with our debt. Until that point in time, we feel very secure about the balance sheet,” Le said.
His remarks suggest Strategy believes its current liquidity position provides a substantial cushion against further downside, even as Bitcoin remains under pressure.
 
Additionally, Le acknowledged that Bitcoin’s price history has been marked by dramatic swings but argued that those cycles are already factored into the company’s long-term planning.
“Bitcoin has quite a bit of volatility. It goes up and down. And every time it’s in a bear cycle like it is, people ask, OK, will it go to zero? And it hasn’t yet in its 18-year history,” he stated.
According to Le, the company has accumulated approximately $3 billion in cash after listening to preferred shareholders who wanted greater liquidity on the balance sheet. He explained that the additional cash reserve, alongside previous Bitcoin sales, was intended to strengthen financial flexibility rather than signal a shift away from the company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy.
In his view, Strategy has evolved beyond simply being a Bitcoin treasury company into what he described as a “digital capital platform,” balancing the interests of common and preferred shareholders with its long-term Bitcoin strategy.
The executive added that the company expects to continue raising capital when appropriate and could deploy those proceeds toward additional Bitcoin purchases or strengthening its cash reserves.
Despite questions over whether Strategy might scale back its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation, Le insisted the company has no intention of abandoning its long-term approach.
“We’re not going anywhere. We’re the largest identified holder of Bitcoin. My objective would be the largest buyer of Bitcoin for the foreseeable future.”
He also downplayed concerns that Strategy’s activity alone dictates Bitcoin’s market direction, noting that the company represents only a small portion of the broader market.
Notably, Le pointed out that although Strategy recently sold roughly $200 million worth of Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency continued to rise during that period, underscoring the market’s depth and liquidity.
Rather than attempting to avoid volatility altogether, Le said the company’s objective is to build a financial structure that can withstand bear markets while remaining positioned to benefit from future rallies.
He noted that Strategy has already navigated previous downturns, including the severe 2022 crypto bear market, and believes the current environment is another test of that strategy.
Recall that last month a CryptoQuant analyst advised Strategy against buying more Bitcoin and rebuild its cash reserves.
At press time, BTC changed hands at $63,077, down 2.18% over the past 24 hours.
