It is a decentralized digital currency that enables users to make trustless peer-to-peer transactions. , MicroStrategy would consider selling its holdings of the flagship cryptocurrency, suggested its CEO, Michael Saylor.

The defender of Bitcoin and founder of the business intelligence software company, took to Twitter on Tuesday to address a place where cryptocurrency can be sent to and from, in the form of a string of letters and numbers. some of the fears circulating that his company would face settlement risks for its loans in Bitcoin in the face of the price collapse seen in the cryptocurrency cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that use cryptographic technologies to secure their operation. market.

Saylor added that the company can dispose of 115,109 bitcoins as collateral, or more than $3 billion at current prices, out of its total hoard of nearly 130,000 BTC.

Citing a presentation to investors for the first quarter of 2022, the businessman said that Bitcoin would have to fall to a low near USD $3,500 for the company to run out of enough coins to secure its collateral. However, even in that scenario, MicroStrategy could look for another asset as collateral, Saylor said.

If the price of BTC falls below USD $3,562, the company could offer some other collateral.

End of March, MicroStrategy obtained a loan for USD $205 million crypto-friendly bank Silvergate to buy Bitcoin . As reported by DiarioBitcoin the loan was secured by $820 million in Bitcoin which at the time represented about 15% of the total BTC reserves held by the company.
