Last night, STRC investors experienced a nerve-wracking moment—its stock price plummeted to $82, flooding social media with the same question: "Is Saylor being forced to sell Bitcoin?" Today, Saylor calmly released a balance sheet: BTC plus cash, after paying off all debts, the net assets still total $48 billion. Not 4.8M, but 48 billion.

Once this number was revealed, the situation became half clear. Strive’s CEO explained: this sudden plunge was purely due to a major holder liquidating, causing the market to crash, with nothing to do with Saylor’s debt repayment ability. When BTC rebounded to $64k, the pressure on assets eased, and STRC naturally stabilized.

But this false alarm also exposed how fragile Saylor’s “borrowing to buy coins” business model really is.

A few years ago, with low interest rates, borrowing cheap money to accumulate Bitcoin was basically printing money. Now, with high interest rates and Bitcoin not generating yield, it’s like putting all your wealth on the line betting on prices rising. If the price stays low for too long, the market will start to panic—even if you don’t need to repay immediately, everyone will start to run for the exits. When market makers dump, retail investors follow suit, creating a death spiral that spins on its own, without you actually defaulting.

The $48 billion safety cushion looks thick, but that’s based on today’s BTC price. When the coin’s value rises, Saylor is a genius; when it falls, he’s just a gambler. Surviving this time doesn’t mean the model has no flaws. The real test isn’t a flash crash, but if Bitcoin stays sideways at the bottom for a year or two and the debt matures—that’s the true challenge.

Saylor is betting that Bitcoin’s long-term trend will save him. But those holding STRC need to carefully consider whether they can survive that big test. #我的Gate交易时刻
