Scaramucci Says Concern Over MicroStrategy’s Debt Is Overblown
-- Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of the hedge fund SkyBridge Capital, says that all the hand-wringing about the massive Bitcoin purchases and debt being taken on by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Inc. is overblown.The dot-com-era software maker turned Bitcoin proxy - whose shares are held in a fund SkyBridge sub advises - has mesmerized Wall Street this year with a more than 400% share surge while gobbling up billions of dollars of Bitcoin financed through the sale of stock and convertible debt. That has also given rise to concern that if Bitcoin’s price were to drop, MicroStrategy could have trouble repaying its debt, and may need to offload its coin holdings, depressing Bitcoin price further.
