Saylor Pushes Back Against Dilution Accusations After New Bitcoin Bet
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has defended the company's recent share sale and Bitcoin purchase against accusations of shareholder dilution. Bitcoin analyst Matthew Kratter argued the share count grew faster than Bitcoin holdings, using the "BTC Yield" metric. Saylor countered that BTC Yield only measures Bitcoin per share and ignores other assets. He stated the transaction added 1,550 Bitcoin and $100 million in USD reserves, making it accretive overall. The dispute followed MicroStrategy's $181 million capital raise and executive stock sales for taxes. After briefly selling 32 Bitcoin, the company bought $101 million worth of Bitcoin. MicroStrategy now holds 845,256 Bitcoin and has nearly $1 billion in cash reserves, which will also help fund newly approved preferred stock dividends.
