MSTR has a market cap of $29.54 billion, yet owns just over $50 billion worth of Bitcoin. Not only does MSTR have an unrealized loss of nearly $14 billion on the Bitcoin it bought, but the market value of $MSTR stock is worth less than half of the money @Saylor spent to buy it!
Setting clear guardrails for their activity:
Increased USD reserve to $2.55B (17.4 months of dividend coverage)
Established a BTC monetization program, allowing BTC sales if needed to fund reserves, dividends, interest, and buybacks
Authorized up to $2B in repurchases ($1B Digital Credit securities + $1B $MSTR)
Increased $STRC dividend rate to 12.0%
Total dividend coverage increased to $3.8B (25.9 months including BTC monetization capacity)
Will remain disciplined with $MSTR issuance, especially when it trades near 1x mNAV
Strategy announces a Digital Credit Capital Framework designed to strengthen Digital Credit, enhance liquidity, preserve long-term Bitcoin exposure, and support long-term value creation. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/AUoUCtem53
@BTCoptioneer@GrainofSaltSF@Strategy This is exciting. Wonder how it would play out. An announcement of cash raised with an intention to buyback moving forward?
This feels like asymmetrical upside. Sitting within striking distance of ‘22-‘23 price after major progress.
These are the prices I had wished i had the opportunity for. I remember thinking the $200s were a steal.
Buying time.
$MSTR is giving you the chance to feel what early bitcoin adopters felt:
300%+ volatility, untested products, hyped up, constant threats of imminent failure and collapse that you feel unqualified to assess.
You came to Bitcoin when it was already easy. It had already largely matured as an asset. Blocksize wars were over. It had gained institutional acceptance - even when FTX failed you knew it would survive.
$MSTR is giving you the chance to feel risk and massive vol the way Bitcoin used to feel. And if you’re panicking now, I’m sorry to say you’re failing the test, and showing that you would never have had the stomach for what early bitcoiners endured. They are simply better men than you.
