Strategy Built To Survive 90% Bitcoin Drawdown: Saylor

Strategy
  • Saylor says Strategy can survive extreme Bitcoin crashes without risking long-term operational stability.
  • He argues that Bitcoin volatility keeps declining as adoption grows and markets mature steadily.
  • The company’s stock has fallen in the last five days alongside BTC price, but Saylor insists Bitcoin remains structurally resilient.

Michael Saylor says Strategy remains secure even if Bitcoin suffers an extreme crash. His remarks come as Bitcoin trades near $91,600 after falling sharply over the past week. The drop erased gains made earlier in the year and pushed Strategy’s stock lower.

Saylor Defends Strategy’s Bitcoin Model

The Strategy executive chairman made the comment during an interview with Fox Business. He dismissed claims that Wall Street’s expansion into Bitcoin has damaged the asset’s behavior.

Saylor said Bitcoin has become less volatile as it matures. He explained that the asset carried an annualized volatility of about 80% when the company began buying in 2020. He believes that number has now dropped to around 50%.

He also expects volatility to decline further every few years as Bitcoin adoption grows. He argued that the asset is trending toward behaving like a more stable market instrument.

The firm’s chairman insisted that the company remains strong. He said Strategy holds more than 649,000 Bitcoin. That stash was worth almost $60 billion at the time of writing.

Despite the drop, Saylor said he is not worried about deeper declines. He stated that Strategy is engineered to survive an 80% to 90% Bitcoin drawdown without facing operational risk.

Saylor Says Strategy Can Withstand Downturns

Saylor claimed that the firm’s leverage is extremely robust and does not threaten the company during harsh downturns. He emphasized that the business model was designed for long-term Bitcoin volatility.

Bitcoin’s decline has also dragged Strategy’s stock. Shares closed near $206 on Tuesday after dropping almost 8% over five days. The move reflected broader fear across the crypto market as traders reacted to the latest downturn. 

Yet, Citibank issued a buy rating on Saylor’s Strategy last month. This reflects continued belief in the firm’s BTC treasury model.

Meanwhile, Crypto commentator Ted Pillows noted that Bitcoin must reclaim $94,000 to regain upward momentum. He warned that failing to reclaim the zone could trigger another correction. His analysis further confirms the weakening sentiment around the recent decline in the coin’s price.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
