However, with plans for a new $1 billion share sale, OxChain believes that Strategy is increasing its risk exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Predicts Major Liquidation Risk<\/h2>\n<p>OxChain warns that Strategy&#8217;s average cost per Bitcoin is approximately $70,000, creating a precarious situation. The analyst adds that if Bitcoin\u2019s price falls significantly below this level, the company&#8217;s treasury, currently valued at around $25 billion, could quickly start to suffer losses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the analyst, despite Saylor&#8217;s public commitment to never sell Bitcoin, the realities of accounting and risk management may force the company to act if market conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n<p>In the first quarter of 2025, Strategy disclosed $5.9 billion in unrealized Bitcoin losses, revealing the volatility of its assets. Under the new accounting standard ASC 350-60, the company is required to report fair value, eliminating the ability to hide behind book value.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This transparency has already led to legal repercussions, with shareholders filing a class action lawsuit alleging that Strategy concealed the risks associated with Bitcoin&#8217;s volatility while aggressively raising capital.<\/p>\n<p>OxChain further claimed during his social media thread that Strategy&#8217;s role as a Bitcoin access point is diminishing, especially as institutional capital flows into \u201cmore transparent and regulated options,\u201d such as BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has amassed around $70 billion in assets under management.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The analyst stressed that unlike Strategy, which reportedly faces dilution risks and operates with limited safeguards, IBIT offers a \u201cmore stable investment\u201d for those seeking exposure to Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>If Strategy were to falter, the implications would be far-reaching, OxChain added. The firm holds approximately 2.77% of Bitcoin\u2019s total supply, and a significant liquidation could send shockwaves through the market.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst warns that a decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s price by just 22% from its average buy price could trigger corporate liquidations, potentially leading to one of the largest liquidation events in history.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, OxChain cautions that Strategy is neither a hero nor a villain in the crypto ecosystem; instead, he said that it represents a \u201crisk vector heavily reliant on leverage and market sentiment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Re5gMX9B\/\" alt=\"Strategy\" width=\"1814\" height=\"860\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold and alarming statement, on-chain analyst OxChain raised the possibility of a catastrophic collapse involving Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the Bitcoin proxy firm co-founded by Michael Saylor.
