What y'all are getting wrong is that you are not trading a legitimate trading instrument, but a multi-level ponzi scheme. And it could keep going up higher (though i doubt there is much fuel left), but when it goes it goes bust completely (high risk, low reward). My prediction is Bitcoin has topped. Altcoins (ETH, DOGE, ADA and other bullshit) might have a chance; but only if BTC and stock market hold steady. The manipulators could squeeze the shorts(massive amounts of ETH shorts on CME) and generate exit liquidity on bullshit tokens. If that happens you should start running for your life because it will all come crashing down badly; tether will go bust and take bitcoin below $10K. Ponzi scheme lies about it's revenue and has no business model, money comes from other investors. Bitcoin lies about being a "digital gold", has no business model, money comes from other investors. And it's propped up by a fake stablecoin that mints new dollars with no backing. And then another ponzi MSTR, and now CEP and similar pyramid schemes. And then you have all these trading firms taking loans on one another etc... It's just layered ponzi and each layer of ponzi is pragmatically a ponzi scheme though technically maybe it does not exactly describe a ponzi scheme because it doesn't claim to have revenue.
Michael Saylor’s recent tweet, showing a young girl hugging a humanoid robot labeled “Bitcoin” with the phrase “Embrace Bitcoin,” paints a vivid picture of our digital future. The image feels symbolic, a generational shift where Bitcoin isn’t just a financial asset but something personal, familiar, and fully integrated into everyday life. Posted just after the Bitcoin halving, it reinforces Saylor’s consistent message: Bitcoin is here to stay, and it’s becoming a central pillar of the global financial system. But as crypto adoption grows, it’s more important than ever to engage with it responsibly. That means using platforms that prioritize regulation and transparency. Trusted exchanges like LCX, regulated under Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act, or Coinbase, which operates under U.S. regulatory oversight, help build the secure and compliant foundation the industry needs. These platforms aren’t just access points, they’re part of the infrastructure making mass adoption possible. In the end, “embracing Bitcoin” isn’t just about belief in the technology. It’s about participating wisely, through secure, regulated avenues that empower both innovation and trust.
That $42B/$42B plan should make things interesting. Isn't some $$$ left over from the last preferred sale? Good luck to all.
I have to listen to the earnings call again. For us slow to grok in the back of the room, how is a yield being generated if MSTR never sells it’s BTC holdings?
The previous plan was $21B/$21B ATM share offering/Convertible debt issuance over the course of 3 years Unfortunately (for shorter term call options holders), mstr sold $21B worth of mstr shares within 6 months, instead of 3 years fortunately for longer term call options or mstr share holders, this is permanent capital in the books, no liabilities, and the share price actually went up since mstr did not issue all of the total $21B convertible debt, I believe there's $15B left, which will be added to the new announced debt issuance plan of $42B,
There is no need to do anything with bitcoin, just let bitcoin do its thing, let the value go up, and then issue financial instruments based on the company's enterprise value with bitcoin as its core treasury asset Saylor refers to btc yield as an increase of bitcoin/share due to their financial actions, ATM shares offering, convertible debt, preferred stock issuance... Very easy to see for bitcoiners who believe bitcoin will be $1M/btc within 5 years, $5M/btc within 10 years and $10M/btc within 20 years mstr is in a race against other players who will never catch up, 21 partners (cep --> xxi), mara, gme, smlr, metaplanet, over 80 companies worldwide, plus private companies doing it quietly, individuals, and rumor is nvda may announce also The easiest analogy for me is Berkshire as a holding company, holding treasuries, Coke, Wells Fargo, Geico, and a bunch of other things, and mstr is a bitcoin holding company only holding one asset, the best of the best, a global monetary store of value asset, Saylor calls it liquid capital, = bitcoin
Interpretation: "I've opened a short position so big, I'll be begging bitcoiners for a bailout. Wish me good luck."
