MicroStrategy's plan to acquire $42 billion worth of bitcoin carries some risks, according to CoinShares. The asset manager stated that financing conditions need to remain favorable and there must be sufficient investor demand for the company's convertible debt. CoinShares also noted that MicroStrategy's debt servicing costs are rising, and if the company were to sell some of its bitcoin holdings, its valuation premium could disappear. Additionally, such disposals could trigger significant tax events in the future. CoinShares also highlighted that the cash flows from MicroStrategy's legacy operations may not be enough to cover future coupon payments. However, despite these risks, the company's stock has been well-received by investors, with MicroStrategy being praised as one of the best ways for equity investors to gain exposure to bitcoin.
