Has Michael Saylor's belief in "never selling Bitcoin" really started to shake this time?
Strategy (which is the original MicroStrategy) has been seen hoarding coins crazily these past few years, but their CEO Phong Le recently said something a bit different on a podcast. He acknowledged a possibility: in certain extreme circumstances, they would indeed consider selling Bitcoin.
What circumstances would force them to sell coins? Phong Le provided two hard indicators.
The first is the "Market Value to Net Asset Value Ratio," also known as mNAV. If this thing drops below 1, it means the company's market value is cheaper than the coins in hand. The second condition is more direct — out of money. To be precise, liquidity is completely exhausted, and avenues like equity financing and bond issuance are all blocked.
Only when these two conditions occur simultaneously will the Strategy take real action. Although Phong Le emphasized that the board currently has no intention of selling coins, this statement carries a bit of mystery: "This option is indeed under consideration."
The problem is that the current data is a bit concerning. The mNAV of the Strategy has already dropped to around 0.95, getting closer to the so-called "0.9 times danger line." Many analysts are watching this number, as once it breaks 0.9, they may have to sell coins to pay the preferred stock dividends.
From "never sell coins" to "may sell under certain conditions," the pressure behind this shift may be much greater than it appears on the surface.

Ha, I told you so, these "never sell" vows always break down in the face of reality—it's only a matter of time.
Is mNAV about to drop to the danger line? When that moment comes and selling is unavoidable, even the strongest conviction is useless.
That's why I never buy into the long-term holding hype—markets follow their own rules.
But wait, will the 0.9x really happen, or will it just stick right on the edge?
So in the end, it all comes down to cash flow—Bitcoin conviction doesn't mean a thing.
Liquidity crunch is the real killer move, and when that happens, even the toughest CEO will have to give in.
Feels like this turning point should have come a long time ago; it's just being acknowledged now.

Uh, so never believe in anything that says never sell this trap, in the end, it's still money that talks.

mNAV is 0.95 now? Oh no, this is getting serious... The flag of never selling coins has to be put down eventually.

Here we go again with the double act, saying they will never sell, but as soon as the conditions loosen, they are ready to sell. I've heard this trap too many times.
