Strategy's Dominance: Why Smaller Treasuries May Struggle
Bitcoin treasury company Strategy may have an advantage over its competitors due to its size and cash reserves, according to economist Saifedean Ammous. The company holds the world's largest corporate Bitcoin treasury with 847,666 BTC acquired for $63.95 billion.
Ammous said that Strategy's larger holdings allow it to borrow at lower rates, giving it an advantage over smaller companies. He also noted that previous drawdowns had not brought the company close to liquidation.
Strategy has raised its annual dividend rate to 12% and repurchased shares, while building its cash reserve. It has also sold some Bitcoin to help fund dividends and STRC repurchases before resuming its Bitcoin accumulation.
Ammous expects more companies to adopt the model of holding Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset, especially those with positive cash flow. He distinguished this from cash needed for daily operations, saying that investing in Strategy carries risks and that he favors holding Bitcoin directly.
