@BTCoptioneer They have much higher regulatory hurdles to clear with much less certainty if and when they can do so, meaning much more risky. It also has been literally harder to trade, not on all exchanges, fees for purchases, etc. If successful, it has a good chance to outperform by a lot.
@rftylerpage No serious person would blame you for short term price action. And anyone who knows what they own either drown out the noise or take the opportunity to accumulate.
I sold my entire $IOND position today between $55-60, then deployed that capital 50/50 to increase my $CIFR & $IREN positions. The run up was a nice surprise, but compared to their peers @IonicDigital is now overvalued while @CipherInc & @IREN_Ltd are extremely undervalued.
I hope for all those who endured this nightmare that Ionic keeps going up and that it is a great success long term. But I have to say, it feels really good to put the last vestige of Celsius in the rear view mirror. Lessons were learned. Never again.

@StrategyMaxi@comic@dennishegstad Ha I get it. I too attempted to do this, but in the end there is no reason other than he is a wretched and pathetic creature. It is in his nature to be an envious hater.
"Strategy is the JPMorgan of the crypto economy." I join @KellyCNBC and @TheDomino on @CNBC today to discuss $MSTR and $BTC.
00:53 - Bitcoin’s bear cycle, macro headwinds, and how Strategy is navigating volatility through active capital management
02:05 - Legislative clarity as the catalyst for tokenization, stablecoins, bank adoption, and Bitcoin’s role as an inflation hedge
02:45 - Why Strategy is not a forced seller of $BTC, and why Bitcoin Per Share matters more than average cost
03:43 - Net Bitcoin accumulation: ~170,000 BTC added this year and 35x more bitcoin bought than sold
04:02 - Why Strategy sells bitcoin: funding dividends, buying back $STRC below par, and increasing Bitcoin Per Share
05:01 - Strategy’s Bitcoin scale: 842,138 BTC, over 4% of total supply, and the largest institutional Bitcoin position
05:36 - Balance sheet flexibility: $4B of USD reserves and multiple ways to fund dividend obligations
06:00 - The Clarity Act, executive rulemaking, and why regulatory decisions matter for the broader digital asset industry
$MSTR
Strategy’s USD Reserve now sits at $4 billion.
To put that into perspective, if @Strategy were an S&P 500 company, that alone would likely place it comfortably among the top 100–150 companies by cash holdings.
Management has hinted at a long term objective of building a 3 year USD Reserve.
At today’s dividend run rate, that would imply a reserve of roughly $5.2 billion.
The more I think about it, the more I believe the USD Reserve serves a purpose beyond supporting $STRC
It’s also a language traditional finance already understands.
Many institutions and capital allocators still don’t understand what it means for a company to hold nearly one million Bitcoin.
But everyone understands what it means when a company is carrying billions of dollars in cash.
As the USD Reserve continues to strengthen, it’s also sending a clear message to rating agencies and institutional capital allocators that @Strategy is committed to building a balance sheet capable of supporting its expanding capital structure.
If the company reaches a $5.2 billion USD reserve, it would be holding more cash than the combined market cap of many publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies, while also controlling the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury.
That’s an extraordinary balance sheet.
Mission: Strategy.
$BTC $MSTR $STRC
@btc_overflow I’m sure a large factor on when they pause increases to the reserve is whatever the largest investors have indicated they are looking for it to be.
