MicroStrategy: The Case for Bitcoin on Corporate Balance Sheets
summary
MicroStrategy explains why it pivots its treasury into Bitcoin, details the mechanics used—convertible debt at sub-1% coupon and >40% conversion premium—and claims the programmatic buys make the company the largest public corporate holder today. The playbook is open-sourced, argues Bitcoin yields can exceed corporate cost of capital (they cite ~24% vs ~12%), and reports measurable effects: large Bitcoin position, revived stock volatility and liquidity, better employee retention and faster product innovation.
