CZ Says Saylor's Strategy STRC Is Too Complex
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (@cz_binance) says he needed multiple attempts to understand Strategy's STRC, calling the product potentially too complex and over engineered.
He also argued Bitcoin may not be the best asset for leverage because of its volatility.
“At some point, he’s gotta sell some Bitcoin,” CZ noted.
His comments come as STRC remains below its $100 par value after recent pressure.
FIP.16 feels like a failure to address the real issue: FLR price. Cutting inflation, raising fees, and restructuring rewards may help the network on paper, but it still does not give FLR holders a clear, direct path to value accrual. Most of the benefits seem to flow to the system, validators, and future ecosystem plans and not to ordinary holders who have been waiting for stronger token performance. It also highlights a broader marketing failure. Flare keeps building and proposing structural changes, but the market still does not clearly understand why FLR should be owned, demanded, and valued higher. If that message is not landing, then the strategy is not working. If the goal was to restore confidence in FLR, this proposal is nowhere there. Holders need a model that creates real demand, stronger buy pressure, and clear value capture for the token itself. Without that, this is just more restructuring, not a real solution.

FIP.16 mostly tries to fix tokenomics plumbing, not create an immediate buy reason for FLR. The proposal focuses on lowering inflation, increasing burns, redirecting protocol fees into FIRE, and pushing more rewards toward validators and stakers. That can improve structure, but it does not create a direct cash flow or guaranteed benefit for a passive holder sitting on FLR.
