S&P Global Ratings has recently assigned a B issuer credit rating to Strategy Inc, the company previously known as MicroStrategy. This rating comes with a stable outlook, suggesting that S&P does not foresee significant changes in the company's financial situation in the near future. The publication provides the following information:
Strategy Inc's Unique Business Model
Strategy Inc is notable for its unique business model, which involves raising capital through debt and equity to invest in Bitcoin, rather than focusing solely on software development. As of October 26, 2025, the company has amassed a substantial Bitcoin reserve of 640,808 BTC, valued at approximately $4.744 billion.
Risks Highlighted by S&P
While S&P acknowledges the impressive performance of Bitcoin, it also highlights the inherent risks tied to the company's heavy reliance on this cryptocurrency. The agency points out that Strategy Inc's dependence on capital markets for funding could pose challenges, especially if Bitcoin prices experience a significant downturn.
Potential for Downgrade
S&P expects the company to manage its debt prudently and maintain its access to capital markets. However, the rating could be at risk of downgrade if there are:
- sharp declines in Bitcoin prices
- if the company encounters difficulties in securing necessary funding
The company must navigate these challenges carefully.
