What is Strategy's biggest risk according to the report?

Losing access to capital markets needed to service $1.76 billion in annual obligations, not a Bitcoin price crash.

Why is the stock sensitive to capital market conditions?

Strategy relies on refinancing and new issuance to meet debt obligations. Tighter credit or reduced investor appetite would raise borrowing costs and weigh on the equity.

Does Bitcoin price still matter for Strategy?
