I’ve been seeing a lot of euphoric bullposting about $STRC. It's an interesting financial product, but I will be the black sheep and state that I personally feel it’s too risky of an investment. $STRC doesn't really give you any guarantees (despite seeming like guaranteed fixed income) and it absolutely DOES carry risks: ———— RISKS ———— • Dividends are NOT guaranteed — The board can slash, defer, or kill them anytime. Yield vanishes exactly when markets crack. • No price floor — Nothing stops it crashing below $100 (it already has). In a crisis it could tank hard, handing you permanent capital losses. • You’re junior and exposed — STRC is equity. All corporate debt and senior STRF preferred stock come first. In bankruptcy, liquidation, or meltdown, you could recover zero after creditors wipe you out. • Unlimited dilution — Strategy can flood the market with unlimited new STRC (or even senior preferreds) via ATM without your approval, spiking obligations and crushing value. • Liquidity evaporates fast — Trading dries up in stress, spreads explode, and constant new issuance slams supply pressure. You may be forced to sell at fire-sale prices. • Zero safety net — Not FDIC-insured, not a bond, not like Treasuries or MMFs. Pure high-risk equity dressed up as “yield.” ———— BOTTOM LINE ———— $STRC offers attractive yield with lower volatility than MSTR or spot BTC, plus indirect BTC exposure via a company with massive holdings and cash runway. ⚠️ However, it embeds significant counterparty, structural, and model risks—it's equity, not "safe" yield. ⚠️ In a BTC bull market with continued raises, it has performed as designed (18% lifetime return including dividends/price). ⚠️ In a multi-year bear or capital freeze, principal and dividends face real pressure (up to total loss in extreme scenarios). This is high-risk for income-seeking investors bullish on Strategy long-term. ⚠️ Die-hard STRC proponents will probably hate this post, but it is just sharing the risks. They should be known and they are real. I have seen a lot of bullposting lately without any mention of any risks whatsoever. Be informed. I think Michael Saylor is great and MicroStrategy ($MSTR) is great. I'm just a conservative investor and like to protect my capital. ———— READ MORE RISKS BELOW ——— grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

Time to get the 'big coat' back out 🧥 Temperatures are dropping widely below average but in brisk northerly winds, it will be feeling closer to freezing for many of us 🥶
