Delphi Digital: Strategy Bitcoin accumulation has entered a phase of higher costs

Delphi Digital stated on platform X that Strategy has raised funds over the years by issuing stock at a premium and cheap convertible bonds.

Today, this window has essentially closed. Common stock issuance is constrained by the market-adjusted net asset value (mNAV), the issuance of new convertible debt has been suspended, and STRC has become the primary financing channel. The 11.5% yield is the cost at a lower tier of the capital structure.

The repayment order of STRC is behind convertible bonds and preferred stock, so holders are compensated for taking on the impairment risks that the debt layer avoids. Strategy is paying this spread to continue accumulating Bitcoin in the current environment while buying time for the repayment of large debts maturing in 2028.
