Down 75% $30k m2m.... but got lots of time on this trade Looking ahead, if bitcoin can get above $100k within 6 months, I believe this MSTR calls options position will be worth a few hundred thousand $ Just need the bitcoin spot etf's to start getting strong inflows to absorb the gbtc selling, which might take months
The previous position had a range of $2.3k (lowest) to $$118k (highest) in about 18 months time (5,000%) If I'm correct, this current options position could go from $6.5k (lowest) to $1M (highest) in 1/3rd of the time, 6 months (15,000%) 3 times bigger move in 1/3rd the time, sound doable That would be wild, lol, putting it on here coz no one would believe it if it happens when bitcoin goes to $100k within 6 months and the second order effect on the MSTR share price
Just an update on this MSTR call options position... the m2m price of the position went from ~$8k to $56k in 3 trading sessions and no longer at a loss of 80% but currently in profits m2m The goal to $1M is less than 2000% and still plenty of time
I'll pass. The time to buy calls was yesterday, today it's priced in Loaded up on 100 CALLs for Bitcoin ETFs and 20 more on HIVE last year. Unfortunately, I backed the wrong horse (so far) with the miner. Still lots of time though for him to catch up in the race. On the short end, I've been trying to sell covered CALLs on BitFarms, but can't get fills at where I want. Not the end of the world for me though. I refuse to sell contracts on my equities for the cheap. Good luck with MSTR. I'm still holding onto my short-put and will decide near the end of April (tax time) on if I should close out or not.
A milestone update on the MSTR calls options position, target of 15,000% move within 6 months from low to high m2m value of the position [as an aside, 8 days ago, on earnings day, MSTR was down big and reversed to positive for the trading session, I might have seen the position was worth less than $6,000 briefly, but anyways, position move has been attributed to the last 6-7 trading sessions] We're halfway.... only 1250% move to hitting $1M m2m value for the position and still over 5 months left to expiration
I made a minor miscalculation with MSTR. Something I had been debating on before hand actually. My original plan was to close out any short-PUTs on MSTR as soon as any ETFs showed up in the US. I (correctly) figured many would sell out of MSTR and instead feel safer in an institution that can't be liquidated. However, a key reason I didn't do so, is that a valid point was made that Saylor does not charge MER fees, while every fund does. Though (IIRC), some users are getting temporary wavers on FEEs for a short while.
MSTR is a leverage play on bitcoin it utilizes the company's operating profits/FCF, ability to issue debt-convertibles and ability to issue more shares to acquire more bitcoins MSTR is a mature company, something to ponder, they were making $50M/yr in profits before Bitcoin, now, they have $4B of unrealized profits on their bitcoin holdings. This would have taken them ~80 years of operations (no growth, remember mature) Every time bitcoin goes up by $26xx, MSTR earns $1B in unrealized profits or 10 years of their old business operating income My numbers could be off, just going by memory on what I read here and there MSTR announced it is now a Bitcoin Development company similar to Petroleum development company, or something like that
