The article argues that Strategy (MicroStrategy) is shifting its key performance metric from Bitcoin per share accretion to other measures, effectively moving the goalposts to justify continued dilution despite a $12 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings. This suggests management may be masking poor per-share performance, a red flag for short sellers.
  • Strategy's Bitcoin holdings are worth roughly $12 billion less than the company paid for them.
  • CEO Phong Le repeatedly stated that Bitcoin per share accretion is the primary goal, with explicit quotes from the Q1 2026 earnings call.
  • The company created 'BTC Yield' as a KPI specifically to measure whether capital raises and Bitcoin purchases benefit existing shareholders.
  • The author, a short seller, implies that Strategy may be changing metrics on the fly to hide dilution, a classic 'moving the goalposts' tactic.
