@FinFreedom414@MerlijnTrader Looks alright. Hard to tell if 57k was lowest point of bottom or we make lower point. But it feels, smells and ducks like all other bottoms. We might drop even below 50k or we might not. Bottom is very close.
@VladVexler Only reason foe him to attack Baltics would be conflict with nato, he can use to explain why and how russia lost war in Ukraine. They will blame nato and UE. Hard to see how they admit to own ppl they lost war vs Ukraine. In that system only reason would be it was war vs nato.
Strategy raised $1.152 billion last week in common equity. At an exchange rate of $61,000 per bitcoin, buyers of stock could have bought 18,900 bitcoin. But instead, bought zero only to subordinate themselves behind $22 billion in liabilities + paid a premium to do it. Smart!
A whole new level..
Russians complaining that Ukrainian Forces are now outsourcing drone operations to gamers all over the world by connecting hundreds of drones to a virtual server and inviting skilled drone operators to take out battalions, with cash prizes awarded for each.
@Bkclaims It can. I think there are big players that would buy some if not all of this Bitcoins at market value. Only strategy can deliver that amount of btc. Dunno if it would be single or group of buyers but in case this opportunity appears, buyers will appear to.
@HealthRanger It allows energy to be generated in places where normaly it would not be generated. It does bring to existence energy that would not exists without Bitcoin. And value of that energy is stored in Bitcoin. So it does not store energy, but value of energy it allows to exists.
@shanaka86 And where cash for dividends will come in 10months? He overextemded with STRC. He bent over with no pants. And wall street will use this to fck him out of his Bitcoins.
@blockchainchick They don't. I think they never intended to do it for long. Plan was to buy as much btc as possible using borrowed money. Sell enough btc in few years to have cash to buy it back. That would crash the price of btc hard, allowing to buy that debt cheap. And maybe even some more btc
It is only way to solve that problem. Let them destroy own economy. If russia is ba k to early 20 century with its economy, world would be much safer place
For years I've said the biggest lesson from Afghanistan wasn't that the Soviet Army lost a few battles, it was that the entire system eventually collapsed under the weight of an unwinnable war.
By the fifth year, Soviet leaders already knew they couldn't achieve victory. Yet they stayed for another five years, spending more lives, more money, and more political capital before finally withdrawing.
Two years later, the Soviet Union itself ceased to exist.
I believe Russia is walking down a very similar road today.
Dictators always push until they physically can't push any further. Vladimir Putin has continued to escalate this illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, believing more manpower, more missiles, and more destruction could somehow change reality. History suggests otherwise.
In my professional opinion, the greatest danger to Russia isn't a single battlefield defeat. It's the slow disintegration of the system supporting the war.
Economic strain, exhausted manpower, worn out equipment, declining morale, and the growing burden of sustaining a conflict that was never supposed to last this long.
Ukraine has already shattered the myth that Russia could simply roll over its neighbor in a matter of days. Every month this war continues comes at an enormous cost, especially for innocent civilians and the soldiers on both sides who are paying the price for one man's decision to invade.
Whether history repeats itself exactly is impossible to know. But if Afghanistan taught us anything, it's that authoritarian regimes can continue fighting long after victory has become unattainable...until the weight of the war becomes too much for the system itself to bear.
Time will tell, but I believe history is beginning to rhyme once again.
Слава Україні! Героям слава! 🇺🇦
🚨 MICHEAL SAYLOR'S STRATEGY MAY BE ENTERING A DANGEROUS FEEDBACK LOOP.
STRC was built to trade near $100.
Above that level, Strategy keeps buying Bitcoin. Below it, the buying is supposed to pause while cash gets rebuilt instead.
That mechanism started cracking in May.
Strategy spent $1.5 billion in cash to repurchase convertible notes due in 2029. That cash was the cushion investors counted on to cover STRC's dividend payments.
Once it was gone, confidence in STRC started slipping.
The numbers show how fast this escalated:
- STRC's annual dividend bill jumped from about $300 million in January to roughly $1.2 billion now
- Strategy's cash reserve has fallen 38% since the start of 2026
- Dividend coverage dropped from almost 3 years of runway down to about 10 months
Strategy then tried something it had never done before: selling Bitcoin directly to refill cash.
The sale was small, but it still moved Bitcoin's price noticeably. That one test exposed the real constraint.
Strategy can't sell meaningful Bitcoin without hurting the price, and it can't sell large amounts of MSTR either, since the stock is already down sharply from its highs.
That's where the feedback loop kicks in. STRC trading below $100 forces Strategy to raise the dividend yield to pull it back toward par.
A higher yield means a bigger annual cash bill. That bigger bill forces more selling of MSTR or Bitcoin to cover it. That selling pushes both lower, which pushes STRC even further from its peg, restarting the cycle.
One detail makes this riskier than it looks on the surface. STRC is preferred stock, which sits above MSTR in repayment priority.
If Strategy ever had to unwind STRC entirely, those holders get paid back in full before MSTR shareholders see anything, and outstanding STRC obligations run somewhere in the $10 billion range.
Right now: MSTR has fallen below $100 for the first time since March 2024, Bitcoin has dropped below $60,000, and Strategy's stock sale program has been paused.
Analysts estimate Strategy would need roughly $2.4 billion in reserves just to restore 24 months of dividend coverage.
The market isn't pricing in an immediate collapse.
It's pricing in a company whose two main funding tools, MSTR and Bitcoin, are both constrained at the exact same time.
@Oct7NeverForget Anyone with single brain cell does undestand how Ukrainians do see upa. Its not the problem. Problem is Volhynia masacre was never addressed and admited by Ukrainians. They refuse access to places where bodies were buried. History can't be changed. But pretending it didnt happen?
