"You trolls just don't understand math.
There are only 21 million bitcoin. The supply cannot grow.
So STRC was created to borrow against it at 11.5%, and if it drops 90% we simply issue more shares, raise more capital, and roll the debt forward, the way we always do.
There is effectively no limit to how much new money MSTR can print to buy the thing that is valuable precisely because you cannot print more of it.
And if the buyers ever dry up, I will buy all of it myself.
It's literally that simple."
- Michael Saylor (probably)
If you put $10,000 into $STRC in January, here’s your slice of the future of finance.
Five monthly dividends later you’ve collected about $475, and the shares you bought near par closed today at $94.65. So after five months of owning an instrument advertising 11.5%, your ten grand is now worth roughly $9,940.
You’ve lost money had you bought at par any time this year. Welcome to high yield, Saylor edition. $MSTR
MSTR has been offering a “safe” savings account that pays 3 times more than any other savings account and he says it’s not super safe.
It’s not safe and now looks like it will stop paying out within next 6-12 months. When people recognized that they stopped putting more money in his savings account.
MSTR used that money to buy BTC. BTC is very risky and was being heavily funded through what seemed like a non-risky asset and that ended.
A fake demand supported the price and is now gone.
@Strategy So basically if BTC goes to ~30k then shareholders would have no value, because debt and preferred are worth more than the BTC. They can stop paying dividends but BTC under 30k is a wipe on MSTR
With what could $MSTR buy any more $BTC. $STRC is $6 below PAR, they are going to have a hard time convincing Wall Street its smart to sell their stock at a 52 week low to buy more $BTC. This company is on life support because when they start dumping the market will beat them to it.
