Strategy is proposing daily dividends on $STRF, $STRC, $STRK, and $STRD, accruing every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, and paid the next business day, with economics unchanged. The proposed changes aim to support price stability, liquidity, and demand.

Change STRK to biweekly dividends @saylor @phongle

@JoeyTweeets There’s no place like home unfortunately

@RichLassiterMD Thanks for this, bookmarked

@HodlFlorida I think DCAing is ok above your cost basis but apeing is where things get dangerous. Keep in mind that even though it feels up only right now, there will be plenty of local pullbacks on the elevator up

I feel terrible saying it out loud… but as I’ve gotten older, I just don’t care for dogs anymore. Really have zero desire to date a woman who has dogs, or spend more than an hour or two around a dog. Don’t think I’ll ever own a dog for the rest of my life.

I offer you this wisdom from 13 years in the game

*never* tell someone not in the game what to buy

[Strive @Strive]

More than 1 out of every 1,000 Bitcoin that will ever exist is now owned by Strive.

And we’re just getting started. $ASST

🚨THEY'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS🚨

In this TFTC podcast from MARCH 2021, @odellxyz explains how he was informed by @nvk of a bug in Coldcard's v4.0 firmware, the nature of which could not be revealed to him lest such information enable him to steal Coldcard user's Bitcoin.

WTF

[James O'Beirne @jamesob]

I haven't told the full story yet, but I came to the same conclusion back in May 2025 when I started doing an audit of `coldcard/firmware`.

I wanted to figure out conclusively where the CC RNG was getting sourced from, and found that it backed up to some shady library called libngu (https://t.co/wQu3wOB7cb) that had literally 6 stars on github and was maintained solely by a pseudoanon tranny.

I knew from past experience that linking to libsecp256k1 from Python was pretty easy, which seemed to be the stated purpose of the library use, and so I was confused about why it was there.

I sent a report to the CC team that I had doubts about whether the true RNG was actually in use, and pointed out that the hardcoded yasmarang constants in libngu were sloppy. I advised they rip the whole thing out and link against libsecp256k1 directly.

I was told that if something was wrong "we'd already know about it by now" and that everything was properly configured for the real boards.

I didn't follow up rigorously, which was a horrible mistake on my part.

[PanHodl @PanHodl]

@zherbert @FoundationHQ Someone in telegram group literally pointed about coldcard random function back in 2021. Of course it gets ignore.

[Bitcoin Treasuries @BTCtreasuries]

JUST IN: @PunterJeff Walton just showed $STRC is working exactly as designed: "Derisked into STRC in January? Down ~3% net of dividends. Held Bitcoin? Down 26.8%."

That's a 24-point cushion. The credit instrument did its job for yield-seekers trying to avoid volatility. 🔥

[Bitcoin Basics @BitcoinBasicsYT]

@newineskins @HermesLux @Strategy Excellent way to reframe this. Like all things this storm will pass eventually

[Dan Hillery @hillery_dan]

Bitcoin hits 100k,

OG's dump there coins,

institutions and long term believers pick up the pieces attempting to soak up supply in order to push the CAGR of Bitcoin terminally higher in order to compete with indices for capital growth.

This is where we are.

[Matt Cole @ColeMacro]

Strive acquired an additional 2,500 $BTC for ~$185.2M at an average cost of ~$74,092 per bitcoin.

STRIVE SNAPSHOT
Bitcoin holdings: 19,000
QTD BTC Yield: 23.0%
YTD BTC Yield: 36.7%
Amplification ratio: 57.0%

Cash was increased to maintain 18-month dividend reserve.

$ASST $SATA

[Bitcoin Basics @BitcoinBasicsYT]

@saylor @Strategy Whats the rationale behind not increasing the rate to 12% ???? The marketing basically writes itself at that point, 1% per month.

Seems like free real estate to aid in viral marketing

[Bitcoin Basics @BitcoinBasicsYT]

For the math people out there, what is the difference in monthly dividend payment if STRC paid 15% rather than 11.5%?
