For all the tweets from @saylor and his faithful herd, the reality is $MSTR has underperformed BTC, not only today (by 0.9%), but in the last 1 month (by 12%), last 6 months (by 45%) and last 1 Year (by 48%). $MSTR was supposed to outperform BTC, not underperform it. And

The other update from @saylor in this morning’s 8K is $MSTR’s preliminary results An eye watering $17.4 billion 4Q loss A $5.4 billion loss for 2025

$MSTR just dropped it’s Monday morning 8K. Again, they only issue more $MSTR common (2 million shares/$312 million proceeds) They sold zero prefs (again) Bought 1,286 BTC for $116.3 million and adding cash to their cash reserves (common shareholders paying the pref holders

It’s not the “asymmetry between fiat time and Bitcoin time” $MSTR shareholders should focus on. The fiat time should be the worry. The annual $832 million of pref dividends with no operating cash flow that is being funded off the backs of $MSTR common holders. The $8.2
It is impossible to be bearish on MSTR when you know that Saylor exploits the asymmetry between fiat time and Bitcoin time by monetizing future claims in the former to accumulate irreversible position in the latter.

You have to admit, the $MSTR faithful write some pretty entertaining stuff. Not sure what “crystallized time” and “buy the clock itself” really means…..but it’s not dull.
Michael Saylor is a TIME WIZARD. He sells soft claims on future time (fiat-denominated paper that decays by design) and converts them into hard claims on future time (Bitcoin-denominated scarcity that cannot be diluted). When the market offers him a premium, he repeats the

Bloomberg story just dropped reminding everyone of $MSTR’s prior guidance that they’ll be posting a significant multi-billion loss for 4Q.

When a CEO is pushing the trading aspects of his stock, not his fundamentals, that tells you something.

$STRC dividends going up to 11% for Jan (in a declining rate environment) One reason? $MSTR hasn’t sold ANY $STRC since the week on Nov 10th. 7 weeks. Zero sales. The “digital credit” spin of $MSTR prefs isn’t landing with real world investors with fiat @saylor needs.

Hoping for a BTC breakout? Stablecoins are telling you that’s not happening in the near term. USDT is the lifeblood of crypto trading, but 99% of USDT holders can’t redeem with Tether. That makes USDT’s price a barometer of demand and when you see USDT trading at a

But for all the dumb BTC DATs out there, nothing comes close to Alt5 Sigma and it’s $WFLI treasury strategy. With a $1.5B financing deal in August to acquire 7.5% of Trump’s $WFLI, and Eric Trump as Director and Zack Witkoff as Chairman, $ALTS as set a bar for value

So anybody hear anything about the USAT launch planned for December? Crickets…… Then again, Tether deadlines are famously squishy (audit, anyone?)

On July 31, $MSTR noted in their earnings deck that they would not issue common below 2.5 mNAV other than to fund debt coupons and pref dividends. They have $824 million of annual pref dividends. Since that July announcement, they’ve issued $4.9 billion of $MSTR common with

Despite the @saylor Monday morning “orange dot” $MSTR has another day of underperforming BTC. From the July peak $MSTR has lost 2/3rds of its value…..ouch

I think @saylor meant “speck” and not “dot”as all he bought last week was 1,229 BTC for $109 million, funded by selling more $MSTR common. Buying BTC by issuing common isn’t a ‘strategy’ Even the most ardent $MSTR acolyte has to be disappointed with that.

Last week @saylor issues just $109M worth of $MSTR common shares to buy $109M worth of BTC. Not much of an “orange dot.’ Despite the $MSTR herd shouting “digital credit” and lots of X ads pushing them, Strategy sells zero prefs last weeks. Issuing common to buy BTC is not a

This demonstrates the naïveté of so many in $MSTR cult. Preferred stocks trade like bonds. Their price is a function of the yield the market demands for the risk they take. It’s not common stock and Strategy prefs won’t double in the next 12 months. And nothing in this sloppy
Citigroup reiterates a ‘Buy’ rating on Strategy’s $STRD Preferred Stock, with an average $241.56 price target implying 209.69% upside from its latest $78 close.
