100k in May MSTY comparison...why hodling no longer makes sense.

From May to August 2025, during a rise in Bitcoin of nearly 17% (about $17,000 USD gain on a $100K investment), a high-yield dividend position in MSTY generated $25,577 USD in pure cash income — 50.4% more than Bitcoin’s price appreciation over the same period.

Unlike BTC’s gains, which remain unrealized until sold, MSTY’s returns were delivered monthly as spendable income:

MSTY Monthly Dividends (USD on $100K investment)
May | 9,686.84
June | 6,004.78
July | 5,055.93
Aug | 4,830.52
Total | 25,577.07

With DRIP compounding from May → Aug 2025, starting with $100K USD in MSTY:

Month | Dividends (USD)
May | 9,691.30
June | 6,587.30
July | 5,878.98
Aug | 5,903.37
Total | 28,060.95

By reinvesting each month’s payout, the total income grows from $25,577 (no DRIP) to $28,061 — about $2,484 more over just four months, and you end up with ~5,229 shares instead of the original 4,083.

Even in one of Bitcoin’s strongest multi-month rallies in years, the dividends alone outpaced BTC’s gains — and did so without needing to time an exit.

 

lol and vols continue to drop and they are paying ~$1.2 now. You chose May because it paid 2.37 that month.

 

Dest... what do you think of the STRC product? Watched a podcast on it that said they have lots of tools to keep the peg at roughly $100 I think it was, and it should pay around 9% or something like this. They are almost calling it a stablecoin that will pay twice the yield of holding USTs. So apparently, a no brainer to own this.

 

So your initial by price is 24.50 and you bought ~4083 shares. =$100,033.00
Price today is ~19.00 4082 x 19 = $77577
Add your dividends 25577.07 and your total is 103154
You gainded 3k.
If you dripped you you are actually worse off 5229 x 19 =99351
BTC gained 17k
Keep in mind that although BTC keep rising MSTY dividends and price keep dropping.

 

There is no information on how it's structured other than poaching NAV when BTC falls.

 

I can't get any information. I assume that it will be structured to reduce/stockpile divs when it trades above par and increase/release withheld divs if it trades under par.

 

Look on their website. The have docs separating DIVS/ROC.

 

You guys are terrible in math. With bitcoin you have realized ZERO dollars, whereas with MSTY you have realized almost 30k...fast foreword a year and if bitcoin stays flat or down it could be 100k received from MSTY and -$20k for bitcoin.

Adjusted for dividends:

 

Even so you are still underwater.

Make a social media video too. This one trick fund managers don't want you to know about.
