A recent report from cryptocurrency research firm Delphi Digital has delved into the sustainability of Strategy’s ongoing Bitcoin accumulation model.
The analysis highlighted that the company, spearheaded by Michael Saylor, is nearing a critical juncture with its “unlimited Bitcoin purchase” approach.
Initially, Strategy was able to significantly bolster its $BTC reserves because MSTR shares traded above the company’s net Bitcoin asset value (mNAV) for an extended period. This premium allowed them to increase their $BTC holdings per share by issuing new shares when acquiring Bitcoin.
However, Delphi Digital pointed out that the enterprise value-based net asset multiple for the company has decreased to around 1.24. This decline has notably hampered their ability to raise new funds through common stock issuance, pushing their model closer to a break-even point.
The report further noted that Strategy has historically depended on convertible bond financing. While low-interest convertible bonds have fueled rapid growth for the company, it also indicated that approximately $8.2 billion in principal debt will enter a significant repayment phase by September 2027.
Delphi Digital emphasized that STRC (Strategy Preferred) financing is currently essential for enabling continued Bitcoin purchases. Targeted at income-focused investors, STRC provides an annualized monthly dividend yield of 11.5%. The funds raised through this structure allow Strategy to continue acquiring $BTC, avoiding additional convertible bond maturities.
Nevertheless, the report cautioned about “continuously growing fixed-income liabilities.” Each round of STRC funding may temporarily boost Bitcoin reserves but simultaneously generates future dividend obligations that must be fulfilled.

The findings suggest that this structure could remain viable if Bitcoin prices continue rising and MSTR maintains a strong premium; however, they warned against prolonged periods of flat performance in $BTC. Such stagnation would lead to accumulating dividend obligations while diminishing common stock financing efficiency over time.
The report mentioned that Strategy’s cash reserves—approximately $2.25 billion—are adequate enough to handle around $1 billion in convertible bond repurchase pressure due in 2027; however, larger debt challenges are anticipated in 2028.
Additonally, Delphi Digital revealed that STRC’s current authorized funding ceiling stands at $28.3 billion; reaching this limit without identifying new expansion opportunities could severely compromise Strategy’s capacity to mitigate dilution related to dividends via “continuous cash Bitcoin purchases.”
