@PunterJeff@AdamBLiv Either way, I’m strapped in & DCA’ing. 10 year time horizon. Buy & hold good companies with great leadership. Keep it simple. This is amplified BTC BABYYYYY! Let’s go.
@PunterJeff@AdamBLiv Long as we keep common/btc per share accretive we’re good. Could be market makers placing shorts because they see fund flow & they’re arbing, could be speculators thinking share price has gotten ahead of itself, could just be warrant holders hedging. Don’t know.
@Walker557947578@OpenAI Glass half empty perspective. I'm thinking about how many new entrepreneurs will emerge that didn't start yet because the capital barrier to entry was out of their range. This opens the door for so much. Anything can be bad, it's all about how you use it. Stay positive my frien
@AshCrypto I need to buy more #ASST super bullish signal. #Strive has a much cleaner balance sheet, less derivative execution risk. No debt. Let’s gooooooo!!! @PunterJeff@ColeMacro
@TreasureWaveCap@theswansjr Well isn’t it backed by agreement & trust? Like the U.S. dollar… but with no debasement or government manipulating it or using it to wage economic war against other nations.
I agree.
We spend a tremendous amount of time thinking about downside risk, stress testing scenarios, and building protections accordingly. In our view, $ASST is not over-amplified. If anything, we believe it remains under-amplified relative to the opportunity set Bitcoin presents.
It’s important to understand that risk management is a constraint, not the objective.
The goal for Strive’s common equity, $ASST, is to outperform Bitcoin and maximize long-term shareholder returns.
Importantly, we are not trying to optimize away every last basis point of risk. There is a meaningful difference between reducing the probability of failure from 10% to 1% and reducing it from 0.02% to 0.01%. The latter may technically cut risk in half, but from an expected value perspective it is immaterial if the tradeoff is materially lower upside.
This philosophy informs every major capital allocation decision we make. We start by protecting against outcomes that could permanently impair shareholder value. Once that threshold has been met, our focus shifts to maximizing expected value.
In our view, risk is not measured solely by the probability of loss. It is also measured by the opportunity cost of failing to fully participate in a highly asymmetric outcome.
That is why we intentionally have no debt, maintain substantial dividend reserves, and run amplification aggressively. We seek to eliminate risks that could permanently impair shareholder value so that we can maximize amplified participation in Bitcoin’s upside.
We believe Bitcoin’s return distribution will continue to be highly asymmetric to the upside. If there is a meaningful probability that Bitcoin compounds dramatically over the coming decades, the optimal capital structure is not the one that sacrifices substantial upside to marginally improve an already remote downside outcome. It is the one that preserves resilience while maximizing participation in that upside.
This is also why we are focused on acquiring as much Bitcoin as we can while it remains below $100,000. We believe Bitcoin is likely to be substantially higher over time and that periods where Bitcoin trades near its 200-week moving average are precisely when amplification should be run as aggressively as prudently possible.
We think in probabilities, expected values, and equity compounding. If you optimize around fixed income math, you should expect fixed income returns.
We built the company we personally wanted to own: an engine designed to maximize Bitcoin per share growth, outperform Bitcoin, and maximize shareholder value across a wide range of bullish Bitcoin outcomes.
@_Adrian Regardless of AI I’m long Grid infra. plays. We’re hitting that bottleneck regardless. ETN, PWR, Duke, ETR , CEG and others all on my watchlist. I think communities stopping these buildouts will also cause these companies to innovate and create cleaner , renewable solutions
