Debunking the MSTR Myths: Leverage, Liquidation & Ponzi Claims

In this short episode of One Chair, we cut through the noise surrounding Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury playbook.

You’ve probably heard the usual criticisms:

00:45 Myth 1: Strategy is overleveraged

01:24 Myth 2: Strategy will get margin called or liquidated

02:39 Myth 3: Strategy is a Ponzi

04:18 Myth 4: Bitcoin has no yield

05:38 Summary

We break down each myth with facts and figures:

✅ Debt-to-asset ratio is only ~7–11%, far from “overleveraged”

✅ No risk of margin calls since the debt is uncollateralized

✅ Preferred dividends are backed by $73B in Bitcoin reserves

✅ Bitcoin’s long-term growth outpaces typical yield instruments

Bottom line: Strategy is 9:1 over-collateralized, with no looming margin call, and their play only fails if Bitcoin collapses under $13K and stays there for years.
