What to Know: Strategy’s new ‘Bitcoin Rating’ shows its $BTC stack covers convertible debt by about 5.9x at its average entry and would stay near 2x even in a deep crash, underlining how levered it is to long-term $BTC upside. Despite that cushion, institutions are bailing on the stock and moving into spot Bitcoin ETFs instead, leaving Strategy out of the S&P 500 and trading below the value of its own $BTC holdings.
