@marc02200 @Portfolio_First Bro, you are literally the one saying you can borrow at 6% in the original post....you tell us!

@Portfolio_First Where do you get 6%?

Please explain this to me like I'm 8 years old... You can literally get a loan for let's say 5-6% and put it in $STRC and get an 11.5% annualized yield? Is this real life cheating? What's the best reason NOT to do this?

Solana NFT Fam Can any project be trusted in 2026?!!

@TheOtherParker_ Would be interested to see the crazy math you used to get an annualized figure of 250%....what ever math you used is far from a realistic scenario.

Interesting day in $STRC today. Looks like the dividend arb trade broke. The dividend arb trade was to buy $STRC the day before ex-dividend, and then sell it over the following 2 days. Over the last few months, this resulted in 60-80bps of yield each trade, which if annualized, is around 250%. Whoever engaged in that trade this time was selling at a loss today, annualizing a -200% return. Sucks. Once dividends go bi-monthly, this will be less of a trade. With $SATA, there is now going to be no trade at all. This is fantastic, because it smooths volume. Volume volatility creates uncertainty, which limits the sizing for larger allocations. Expect to see $SATA grow quickly once the daily dividends kick in next month.

@MoneyMaker_MGT @saylor He bought all of these BTC last week when price was fluctuating between 79-82k. Plenty of things to pile on Saylor about, but this isn't one of them.

@saylor Saylor paid $80,985 avg. Spot sits at $77K. The biggest treasury keeps buying ABOVE market. That's not retail behavior.

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…

@EleanorTerrett Seems like a reasonable compromise to get some democrat votes on this important bill...

There appears to be a housing bill…inside the crypto bill. 🧐 Pages 300–309 lay out the ‘Build Now Act’ which looks to create a federal program designed to encourage local housing growth.

@scottmelker My guess is the entity that put through the swap was trying to manipulate the AAVE price is some way to take advantage elsewhere. Probably a poorly executed hack attempt.

I’ve made and observed enough trades to see how ugly they can get. There are bad trades, catastrophic trades, and then there are trades so disastrous they read like financial horror stories. This past week, it was revealed that one crypto trader turned roughly $50 million into about $36,000 in a single transaction. What makes the story so unsettling is not just the scale of the loss, but how ordinary the mechanics were. There was no hack, no leverage, no fraud, and no sudden market crash. The trader simply attempted to swap a metric **** ton of USDT into AAVE through the Aave interface, acknowledged a warning about extreme price impact, and proceeded. From that moment, the outcome was largely determined. Liquidity in the relevant pools was insufficient to absorb an order of that magnitude, and within the same block arbitrage systems, market makers, and block builders captured the resulting dislocation as markets rebalanced. Tens of millions in value were extracted in seconds. At first glance, this looked like a straightforward case of trading size into thin liquidity. But as post-mortems emerged, the situation appeared more complex. Reports suggested that better execution routes may have existed but were rejected due to infrastructure constraints, solver mechanisms underperformed during the auction process, and substantial MEV extraction occurred in the settlement block. Put simply, this wasn’t just user error colliding with DeFi market structure. This was an unexpected live stress test of the systems themselves. What makes this incident so difficult to evaluate is that it challenges our intuition about how financial risk typically unfolds. In most markets, losing $50 million is a process involving layers of friction - trading desks, risk controls, staged execution, or at the very least a moment to reconsider. In permissionless systems, that friction is completely and intentionally removed. The same design that enables speed and autonomy can also compress catastrophic outcomes into a single irreversible decision. This doesn’t invalidate the core philosophy of DeFi, but for me, it does raise an uncomfortable question about maturity. As capital scales into the hundreds of billions and eventually trillions, infrastructure cannot rely on ideals alone. Execution quality, safeguards, and system resilience begin to matter just as much as openness and efficiency. The future of DeFi will not be defined solely by how fast it can execute, but by how responsibly it can evolve. Because when $50 million can effectively vanish on an otherwise normal weekday, the conversation stops being theoretical. It becomes very real.

@Rajatsoni @saylor Not sure this is a good idea. Shorter price rebound would likely only attract money rotatooors that deposit for ~24 hrs to extract the dividend. This would create greater and greater sell pressure ex-div that MSTR would have absorb. No reason to finance this extraction.

What if @saylor & MSTR used a week of cash raises to manage STRC's price (it would only need to be raised once and can be replenished quickly) and make sure it NEVER goes below $100? Eg. Raise $1.5B in a week, don't buy BTC, use it to ensure the price of STRC stays at $100 on the Ex Dividend Date I don't know if this is something that MSTR is working on This will raise confidence in STRC and probably lead to much bigger flows

A US TikToker posted coordinates to help Iran strike American Patriot systems in Israel. There's a difference between being anti-war and actively helping the other side kill American soldiers. What did he expect to happen?

@RoKhanna Thank you for this statement!!!

I want to hear from residents in my district and across the state about waste, mismanagement, inefficiencies, or fraud that we must tackle. If you DM me or go to our website, we will track it down and make sure we are standing up for accountability and transparency.

@APompliano It would definitely make it easier for Elon to hit his comp package payouts...I am pretty sure it is based on market capitalization of Tesla.

Elon Musk should just go ahead and merge SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI. We all know it makes sense for him to do it. Give the world a single stock ticker to bet on the future of abundance.

@MarioNawfal I have lived in Liechtenstein for the past year. It's a beautiful place to live.

🇱🇮 LIECHTENSTEIN: THE PARADISE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF No airport. No army. No official language. No national currency. Yet somehow, Liechtenstein is richer than almost every country in Europe. Locals don’t flaunt wealth; they just quietly own banks and ski chalets as the rest of Europe takes on the migrant crisis and political correctness. Source: beastgoatz on Instagram
