分析：若Strategy必须出售BTC支付股息，或面临下行螺旋风险

What happened

CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn said Strategy's Bitcoin reserves could cover its dividends for about 32 years at current prices. However, if Strategy must sell Bitcoin to pay dividends, that selling pressure could push Bitcoin's price down, reducing reserve value and shortening the coverage period, risking a downward spiral.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

If Strategy sells Bitcoin to pay dividends, the added selling pressure may lower Bitcoin's price. That reduces the value of Strategy's holdings, making it harder to fund future dividends and potentially weakening investor confidence in its preferred stock, which is already trading below face value.

Analyst inference

Strategy's preferred stock STRC has fallen sharply below its face value, meaning investors demand higher returns and doubt dividend stability. Because Strategy borrowed heavily by issuing STRC to buy Bitcoin, a lower stock price makes new issuance costly, limiting its ability to keep buying Bitcoin.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether Strategy actually sells any Bitcoin to pay dividends, since the company has stated its reserves cover 32 years of dividends but has not confirmed any sale plans. Confirmed
2. Monitor the price of STRC preferred stock: if it stays far below face value, Strategy may find it too expensive to issue more, reducing its future Bitcoin purchases. Proposed
3. Track Bitcoin's price reaction to any large sell orders from Strategy, as sustained selling could trigger the downward spiral described by the analyst, lowering reserve value further. Analyst inference
