MicoStrategy, with 423,650 BTC, is the company that holds the highest number of Bitcoins. Its debt-financed bitcoin purchase strategy was tremendously successful. Now, the total value of its BTC holdings stands at $42,450,183,305. Reports indicate that MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael J. Saylor’s BTC purchase strategy has inspired prominent Bitcoin mining companies, including Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms. Let’s explore.
MicroStrategy’s Influence on Bitcoin Mining Companies
Reports say that Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms are preparing to issue convertible notes to purchase Bitcoin. What this indicates is that these mining companies are planning to shift from traditional mining to accumulating Bitcoin for long-term gains.
MARA currently has around 40,435 BTC, worth $4,051,630,265, and RIOT holds at least 10,019 BTC, valued at $1,003,914,520.
MicroStrategy has almost turned completely into a bitcoin treasury company. It has successfully executed the debt-financed bitcoin purchase strategy. Since November 5, the MSTR price has surged by over 71.71%.
Challenges for MARA and RIOT
Firstly, as MARA and RIOT are majorly mining companies, the latest Bitcoin halving event considerably reduced what they could earn from their business activities.
Secondly, mining is now a highly competitive business. Reports indicate that MARA and RIOT face tough competition.
Finally, both are not as compelling as MicroStrategy in terms of stock performance. This year, MSTR has grown by over 474.13%, while MARA and RIOT have declined by over -1.5% and -19.88%, respectively.
Recently, activist investor Starboard Value advised Riot to diversify their business activities, suggesting it to reduce reliance on Bitcoin mining.
Debt-Financed Bitcoin Strategy: Concerns of Investors
Interestingly, Riot’s convertible notes issuance has a lower premium than MicroStrategy’s. However, not many experts support the debt-financed bitcoin strategy. Some strongly question the long-term viability of the strategy. Reports suggest that many want mining companies to increase Bitcoin holdings originally rather than rely on the debt strategy.
In conclusion, MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy inspires others but faces scrutiny. With RIOT and MARA adopting similar tactics, the success of these strategies remains uncertain.
