There is so much going on in this video. Don't pass it by. @CernBasher never fails to deliver.







@RoaringRagnar The trend...


For those wondering where the $1.5 billion for the 2029 convertible note repurchase will come from, I suspect one of three sources. 1) The USD reserve, which currently holds $2.25 billion. 2) The sale of Bitcoin, as Saylor mentioned to inoculate the market against the ponzi narrative. 3) The $MSTR ATM.

Is Bitcoin the best way to play AI? TL:DR: Bitcoin might quietly be the smartest AI investment on Earth… because it’s the one thing AI can’t cheat. AI is driving an explosion in computation demand - from GPUs to datacenters to energy infrastructure. Bitcoin is the only global system that turns raw computation into a scarce, tradeable digital asset controlled by no one. That means: AI consumes compute. Bitcoin prices compute. Energy producers and AI operators are now in the same ecosystem. So yes - in structural terms, Bitcoin sits at the monetary layer of the AI revolution. It’s the “proof-of-physics” counterpart to AI’s “proof-of-intelligence.” Why Bitcoin Could Become the “AI Safety Asset” AI’s marginal cost of intelligence is collapsing toward zero. When intelligence is free, trust and security become scarce. That’s where Bitcoin comes in. Bitcoin: Anchors trust and security in energy instead of code. It provides uncorrelated security that AI can’t spoof. And it acts as verifiable proof of real-world work - immune to AI forgery. In an age where AI can fake any digital thing - text, video, even identity - Bitcoin provides something AI can’t fake: proof of physical cost. That makes Bitcoin not just digital gold, but the base collateral layer for the AI-powered world. The Convergence: AI + Energy + Bitcoin Mining AI datacenters and Bitcoin miners already compete for the same things: - GPUs/ASICs - Energy - Cooling - Data center real estate But this competition may evolve into integration as bitcoin mining could balance AI datacenter energy load. And, nations could use Bitcoin mining as a strategic energy sink - turning surplus electricity into hard digital collateral. An Investment Thesis If you believe AI will keep growing fast, computers and energy will become more valuable, and people will want a digital system that proves what’s real, then Bitcoin becomes one of the best ways to invest in that future. If you think that AI will make compute more valuable than capital, that cybersecurity will require proof-of-work constraints (see my article on this topic below), and energy will become the new currency of trust...then Bitcoin is arguably the most asymmetric AI investment play on Earth. Because: - It’s the only network that directly monetizes compute. - It’s the only digital asset that grows stronger as AI gets smarter. - And it benefits from both sides of the AI equation - as AI demand for compute rises, Bitcoin’s economic importance rises with it. Bitcoin is likely the most underpriced “AI hedge” in existence. It’s not an "AI company" - you don't have to worry about whether Bitcoin will meet or beat analysts' earnings expectations. It’s the economic substrate that AI will eventually have to plug into - because when intelligence becomes infinite, proof of work becomes priceless. And in the end, the counterbalance to AI isn't regulation - it's physics. And Bitcoin is physics turned into code. Thanks to @TonyBusiness2 for the question to stimulate these thoughts!





I expect Strategy to have purchased 20,000+ BTC from $STRC this week, and possibly more from the common stock thanks to ADSO mNAV being >1.0x. The nuclear reactor is alive and well.








Strategy has acquired 24,869 BTC for ~$2.01 billion at ~$80,985 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 12.6% YTD 2026. As of 5/17/2026, we hodl 843,738 $BTC acquired for ~$63.87 billion at ~$75,700 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC strategy.com/press/strategy…
