Arca CIO Jeff Dorman Hits Back at Critics of Saylor’s BTC Strategy

Arca CIO Jeff Dorman defended Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) against criticisms regarding forced bitcoin sales, asserting that fears are exaggerated. Dorman emphasized the strength of Strategy’s balance sheet, its governance structure, and its cash flow as reasons why it would not need to liquidate its bitcoin holdings, despite external skepticism. Notably, Peter Schiff, who has been critical of bitcoin, predicted that Strategy would eventually go bankrupt and publicly challenged Saylor to a debate. In contrast, Dorman pointed out that Saylor’s significant ownership stake makes activist takeovers nearly impossible. Additionally, the terms of Strategy’s debt do not trigger mandatory bitcoin sales, and the firm's legacy software business generates sufficient cash flow to support its financial obligations. Despite the turmoil in the market, Strategy's position has expanded, with its shares declining significantly over the year compared to bitcoin's minimal gains.
