Strategy CEO Phong Le reveals the company’s massive Bitcoin treasury strategy: holding hundreds of thousands of BTC (over 3% of total circulating supply) while building a multi-billion-dollar USD cash reserve to cover preferred dividends for years without ever needing to sell Bitcoin in normal market conditions. In this in-depth interview, Phong explains the “only in a 3-year crypto winter” rule for potential BTC sales, how the cash buffer removes short-term pressure, and why an MNAV near or below 1x actually creates the best opportunities to raise capital accretively.
Discover why Strategy is aggressively issuing perpetual preferred shares (currently yielding up to 10.75%) as the smartest way to fund Bitcoin acquisitions. Phong Le compares this new instrument to past innovations, becoming the first public-company Bitcoin treasury in 2020 and later adding leverage, both of which took the market 18 to 24 months to fully understand and embrace. Learn why he believes perpetual preferred stock will eventually become Strategy’s primary growth engine for stacking more Bitcoin at premium valuations.
Is Strategy just a leveraged Bitcoin ETF? Phong Le says no. Unlike spot Bitcoin ETFs (IBIT, GBTC) or closed-end funds that trade at or below NAV, Strategy is a true operating company that actively creates and grows Bitcoin-backed securities. He argues Strategy deserves to trade like a high-growth tech stock (think Magnificent 7), valued on its unmatched ability to continuously increase Bitcoin per share, not just on current holdings.
Strategy CEO Phong Le shares his journey from engineer and long-time CFO to leading the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. With deep expertise in software, finance, capital markets, and macroeconomics, Phong describes his 2020 “aha” moment with Bitcoin and why he’s all-in on turning Strategy into the ultimate Bitcoin treasury company for decades to come. Essential viewing for anyone interested in Strategy stock, corporate Bitcoin adoption, or long-term Bitcoin strategy.
