@dampedspring Selling common via ATM, then converting to STRC. This week 75% of the 22K BTC purchase came from STRC demand. Last month it was 3%. The product is self-funding in real time.
Google, a $4T company, generates about $350M in net profit per day.
Strategy, a $50B company, is raising roughly $100M per day via its ATM.
Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but it shows the sheer scale of money being raised for MSTR.
Banks don't like what MSTR is doing with $STRC
They want to liquidate MSTR's Bitcoin and take it for themselves
They want to issue their own credit products backed by Bitcoin
This is going to be like GME but the shortsqueeze will be DISASTROUS for anyone shorting MSTR or BTC
Nothing was supposed to be able to compete with the banking system
The Fed made sure of that by confiscating gold
But they can't stop Bitcoin backed credit
They can't stop bitcoin
Strategy can't be liquidated
Strategy has enough cash to cover over 2 years of dividend payments, and it can generate more at any time
While the banks mess around with fiat games, Strategy is innovating and buying thousands of coins a day
STRC is the perfect fit for short term credit
It wouldn't exist without Bitcoin
And banks can't do anything to kill it
There's too much demand for a product like this
STRC is the biggest thing in finance and is about to have its best week yet.
$250M+ in trading volume just today, implying ~2,800+ BTC purchase.
And last week? Almost 18,000 BTC added, much of it funded by STRC.
So why on earth would anyone want to hold a 10Y UST at 4% when you can hold an 11.50% yield instrument issued by the world’s largest corporate bitcoin holder, paid monthly with low vol??
$STRC is just the beginning of a total restructuring of how capital markets think about yield.
Fixed income is about to get CONSUMED. And tradfi hasn’t woken up yet.
The legacy financial system can't keep up with STRC
Nobody can offer 11.5% dividends because they can't produce enough value
They offer 3% MAX
STRC can offer 11.5% because Bitcoin can grow 30%+ per year
Bitcoin is indirectly replacing the bond market (worth $300 TRILLION)
@Rajatsoni@inked_investing if you bought bitcoin 5 years ago u underperformed treasuries
if mstr issues strc 5 years ago to buy btc they would be bankrupt
womp womp
@inked_investing Did you read the post? I buy Bitcoin with a 4+ year time horizon. Please understand nuance. There's no such thing as all or nothing. I personally don't have any STRC because I don't have any plans that are for less than 4 years. I have an emergency fund though.
Should you buy Bitcoin or $STRC?
It depends on your time horizon
STRC offers a dividend of 11.5% today (variable), while Bitcoin will be extremely volatile, but the volatility will lead to massive returns over 4+ years
So STRC is a short-term savings account with a VERY high dividend that's guaranteed for at least 2 years since MSTR has a cash reserve that will cover dividends for 2 years
Let's think of this from a mathematical perspective:
1 BTC = ~$69,000
If you invest $69,000 into STRC today and reinvest all your dividends, you'll have:
$77,366 in 1 year
$86,748 in 2 years
$97,267 in 3 years
$109,061 in 4 years
$122,286 in 5 years
$153,742 in 7 years
$216,725 in 10 years
$384,096 in 15 years
$680,723 in 20 years (almost a 10x!)
Here's how I decide between buying STRC and BTC:
I think that Bitcoin will outperform STRC over the next 4+ years
I have no idea what Bitcoin will do in the next 1-3 years
If I need my money in 2 years, I WILL NOT BUY BTC with it
Bitcoin can do whatever it wants in the next 2 years, but STRC will very likely remain at par ($100), plus I will continue to receive dividends
If I have a shorter time horizon (eg. 6 weeks), I would just hold cash
I think Bitcoin will be more than $126K in 4 years, so if I had a 4-year time horizon, I would buy BTC
If I have a 4+ year time horizon, I would buy Bitcoin
If I have less than 4 years, I would buy STRC
@scool891 Gosh I don't think so. I released a video of levels I would buy SPY Sell gold, sell bonds, sell oil, and sell vix. Unfortunately levels weren't hit. Not sure how that can be dooming.
@Rajatsoni because a rental property isn’t backed by an asset that’s down over the last 5 years and u won’t wake up one day to the property being down 50% like u will with strc
@scool891@BullTheoryio On paper and in the extreme, they could buy puts that are significantly out of the money for $0.05 and then sell them at $0.10 as the price drops for a 100% gain.
This, of course, relies on the other side of the trade trading.
This is SHOCKING.
Jane Street’s secret trading technique is to accumulate shares, then dump them in seconds to crash the price and profit from shorts.
They ran the same 10 AM manipulation algo in Indian markets and made $4.23 billion, which led to a temporary ban by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
Their playbook is simple:
1) Have billions of dollars from investors
2) Buy spot Bitcoin at, say, $68k
3) Open massive shorts via options or derivatives
4) Sell large amounts of BTC in minutes with algos, combined with low liquidity or negative news to trigger panic selling
5) Price crashes to $62k
6) Close shorts for massive profits while losing just 5% on spot
7) Buy spot Bitcoin again at $62k, squeeze shorts, and create FOMO to push price higher
8) Open massive shorts again...
Rinse and repeat.
In India, Jane Street still has $560 million frozen in an escrow account with SEBI, and the manipulation case is ongoing.
@illbethe_moon@BullTheoryio why would u buy 100k of something and short 1 million of same thing. instead u can just short 900k of that thing. thats not market manipulation. that’s speculation
@DukeInvests@BullTheoryio but why would anybody do that? what’s the purpose of being long spot and shorting futures? that’s not a delta hedge that’s an offset position
@scool891@BullTheoryio Options/futures…a.k.a. levered short positions.
Example: If you own $1M of Bitcoin and it drops 5%, you lose $50K. But if you short via Bitcoin futures at 5:1 leverage, $200K margin controls $1M notional. A 5% drop = $50K gain on $200K → +25%.
NVDA's stock is falling b/c it needed to clear an options wall of ~$200/shr. So, given A LOT of folks were long calls into the print, & it didn't clear $200, brokers are selling stock to reverse sold calls. It's that simple. This isn't fundamentals. It's market mechanics.
