‘We’ll Get Through This Bear Market,’ Says CEO of Bitcoin Treasury Company Strategy 

Bitcoin Magazine ‘We’ll Get Through This Bear Market,’ Says CEO of Bitcoin Treasury Company Strategy  Bitcoin treasury company Strategy’s CEO Phong Le brushed aside concerns investors may have about the Nasdaq-listed company selling its stash.  Speaking on CNBC Monday, Le said that Strategy would continue doing what it’s always done, and outperform Bitcoin during the next bull run.  Strategy (MSTR) on Monday revealed that it had sold 1,638 Bitcoins for roughly $104.7 million, and bought back 912,143 shares of its preferred stock, STRC, for $81.2 million.

The firm’s stock is down nearly 40% year-to-date.

It has shed nearly 80% of its value since it closed a record of nearly $474 in November 2024.  “I think Bitcoin is going through a bear cycle right now, and some of that is external macroeconomic,” Le said.  “We, as a company, went through this in 2022.

We actively manage our capital structure, we rotate into Bitcoin, we sell Bitcoin when we need to, and we’ll continue to do so — and we’ll get through this bear market,” he added.  Strategy started buying Bitcoin in August 2020 as a way to generate better returns for its shareholders during the COVID-19 pandemic and hedge against inflation.
