 That'll make some investors panic, but MSTR doesn't care, it can keep issuing debt and keep buying BTC, and the BTC could always be returned to shareholders or employed in some other fashion. No way it "doesn't survive." 
 OK, so if BTC rallies to two hundred something thousand, MSTR cost basis is ~150k, and then a bear market starts and they decide to "buy the dip" with more debt pushing cost basis even higher to try and prop up BTC, and all of a sudden you start getting FUD pushing price lower... 
Now the 2026/27 maturities are coming up, you've got margin calls and forced liquidations up your ass and you've popped the bubble. 

"Investors panic" is a problem if you're raising money through debt. You cannot tell them to suck it up like you can to shareholders.  
 Trying to stay ahead of your debt is always a risky game no matter what asset your using.

In 2007/8, that asset was property. 
 How are you calculating the potential cost basis?...  
 I'm not sure how they finance and manage the debt and what the exact limitations are, but I see no reason why they would be forced to liquidate their bitcoin to cover their debts, and that's what your statement is dependent on.
