Arca's Chief Investment Officer, Jeff Dorman, stated on the X platform that the biggest risks facing MSTR are not being delisted from MSCI or a drop in BTC price. Delisting from MSCI would only have a slight negative impact on the stock and would be irrelevant to Bitcoin; and given its more than two years of cash reserves and the absence of mandatory sale clauses, a drop in BTC price would not force MSTR to sell.
They believe the real risk lies in a rise in BTC price while the MSTR price stagnates. If MSTR stops tracking the BTC price and trades significantly below mNAV, it will be unable to raise funds through ATMs, and will then have to consider selling BTC to buy back shares.
