I ran a BRUTAL 3-year MSTR stress test. Not the cute kind. The “Bitcoin crashes 55% from here, mNAV collapses below 0.50x, capital markets are closed, cash gets burned, BTC has to be sold to pay the senior stack, and everyone on X is filming their victory lap in the clown mirror” kind. Starting point: BTC: $59,135 MSTR: $87.64 Total BTC: 847,363 Cash: $1.4B CEBE: 138,161 sats/share Claim ratio: 41.5% Then the model nukes BTC to $26,611 by month 6. The senior stack does exactly what fixed-dollar claims do when collateral crashes. It explodes in BTC terms. Senior claims go from 351,567 BTC to 819,073 BTC. Claim ratio spikes from 41.5% to 96.7%. Common equity BTC collapses from 495,796 BTC to 28,290 BTC. CEBE gets annihilated: 138,161 sats/share → 7,884 sats/share. MSTR stock gets modeled from $87.64 to $1.01. That is the horror movie. Would the stock price actually go this low in that scenario? I doubt it. 2022 had NEGATIVE -14,000+ of common equity sats exposure and the stock never dropped below $10. But here is where the bear case gets uncomfortable. The model assumes: Zero new BTC buys. Zero common issuance. $167.7M/month of obligations. Cash gone by month 9. BTC sales begin after cash is exhausted. Over 3 years, MSTR sells 115,727 BTC to keep servicing the stack. That is real damage. But it still ends with 731,636 BTC. Final state: BTC: $48,498 MSTR: $51.86 mNAV: 1.40x Common equity BTC: 274,093 CEBE: 76,380 sats/share Claim ratio: 62.5% MSTR survives. The common gets dragged through flaming glass for 18 months, but it survives. The real risk is not “instant bankruptcy" like all the FUD spreaders are telling you. The real risk is CEBE compression while fixed-dollar senior claims temporarily consume almost the entire Bitcoin stack in BTC-equivalent terms. Survival is not comfort. But death spiral? This model says no.

I think MSTR could go to around all-time high at only a 1.4x mNAV + $150k BTC. $150k Bitcoin is going to be incredibly cheap compared to the long term trend 1 year from now. If we start the climb back now, STRC gets turned back w/ $2b per month issued, and $500m of MSTR gets issued per month. This pace would still be under their 2026 YTD capital raising pace. The beach ball is being held underwater it's just waiting for Bitcoin to move.

Saylor telling you how you can get 10% tax-free dividends with $STRC: "The tax-equivalent yield is 16-20%. It's like a bank paying you 20% interest. It's because we're built on Bitcoin. A Bitcoin treasury company is the most tax-efficient fixed income generator in the world."

🔥COFFEEZILLA REFUTED - STRC IS THE GREATEST FIXED INCOME INVESTMENT EVER🔥 Coffeezilla just made an 18 minute CHARACTER ASSASSINATION on Strategy by saying it was comparable to a PONZI SCHEME. He made ZERO arguments in his video, provided ZERO mechanisms by which the structure is fraudulent, and provided ZERO proof that Strategy hasn't disclosed the proper risks. This didn't stop thousands of people from immediately thinking that Strategy is FRAUDELENT. DO BETTER, COFFEEZILLA. THIS IS YOUR RECKONING:

The most bullish Bitcoin chart is the one that keeps grinding higher while everyone stares at the spot price. The 4-year moving average of realized price is the market's smoothed cost basis. It is the slow, load-bearing floor under the entire asset, and it is still compounding at nearly 30% a year after a full decade of adoption. YoY CAGR of the 4Y realized price MA: 2014: $101.47 - baseline 2015: $173.33 - 70.82% 2016: $259.08 - 49.47% 2017: $576.40 - 122.48% 2018: $1,771.46 - 207.33% 2019: $2,954.45 - 66.78% 2020: $4,405.83 - 49.13% 2021: $8,876.68 - 101.48% 2022: $13,246.03 - 49.22% 2023: $17,064.55 - 28.83% 2024: $23,076.40 - 35.23% 2025: $30,521.35 - 32.26% 2026 YTD: $34,345.61 - 29.39% Read the bottom cluster again. Four halvings, three "generational" crashes, and roughly 9,000 obituaries later, the smoothed floor still compounds at 30% a year. The explosive early-cycle numbers cooled off and the metric barely noticed. Your savings account pays 4%. The floor under Bitcoin compounds at 30%. The volatility you keep flinching at is just the entry fee for that seat.

STRATEGY TO THE S&P 500 BECAUSE IT'S INEVITABLE Everyone thinks MSTR’s S&P 500 path is just “Bitcoin goes up, number goes up.” Wrong. This is about Strategy turning from a deranged Bitcoin trebuchet into an institutionally legible capital markets weapon. GAAP profitability. Convertible debt cleanup. USD liquidity reserves. Passive index flows. And the hilarious possibility that the world’s most boring retirement portfolios may eventually be forced to own amplified Bitcoin exposure in a suit and tie. STRATEGY WORLD DOMINATION IS INEVITABLE:

I was watching a Parker Lewis talk from seven months ago, and it was genuinely excellent. I was surprised to discover that I agree with him philosophically almost 100%, especially after he has voiced some disagreements with me on here. His vision of a Bitcoin standard was clear. Bitcoin becomes the money, pricing mechanism, payment rail, and unit of account. Companies earn Bitcoin cash flows, assets are valued in Bitcoin, and people use their savings to invest and assume risk. His exact words were: “People will have savings. People will still invest. People will still take risks… We’re not all just sitting here staring at our digital wealth.” Correct. That is precisely how I think about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the apex money and ultimate denominator. I hold it in self-custody. I also invest some of my capital in equities when I believe the expected Bitcoin-denominated return compensates me for the additional risk.

SAYLOR NOW PAYING 11% CASH DIVIDENDS WITH STRC - TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? They told you 11% paid monthly must be a scam. They said it was “too risky.” They said “where are the cash flows?” Then they went back to buying government bonds from a country that can’t pay its bills without printing. In this video, I break down STRC, Michael Saylor’s income vehicle paying 11% cash, paid monthly, and why it’s making traditional finance people short-circuit. This is what happens when a product: • Already has decades of dividend coverage on the balance sheet • Doesn’t need refinancing windows to stay alive • Doesn’t depend on consumers, confidence, or GDP fairy tales • Pays real cash while fiat melts quietly Meanwhile, the same critics call it “dangerous” while lending money to: • Governments running permanent deficits • Corporations drowning in rollover debt • Pensions powered by optimism and vibes We’re going to walk through why STRC is being priced like junk credit despite behaving nothing like it, how cash-backed income breaks the modern risk framework, and why people trained on spreadsheets panic when money actually already exists.

Strategy spent 1,554 days stacking its first 252,220 BTC. 162 BTC/day. Since November 2024? 591,486 BTC in 568 days. 1,041 BTC/day. That is a 6.4x acceleration. ~31,700 BTC/month. ~380,000 BTC/year run rate. And the mouth-breathing crypto traders on here are criticizing this, thinking it's on the verge of collapse. The machine is just getting started, and they hate that. Bullish $MSTR.

MSTR from $149 to $14,368 dollars per share is BEARISH. Assumptions: $2B/month preferred issuance (they're already doing this) 11.5% preferred cost (they never lower the rate, lol) 30% BTC CAGR (power law CAGR) 1.32x CEBE mNAV (multiple NEVER expands) Also, they NEVER issue common stock MSTR to buy more Bitcoin. Start today: 843,738 BTC 573,757 common equity BTC 163,144 CEBE sats/share $158.97 implied price Year 14: 2,064,691 BTC 1,942,234 common equity BTC 374,504 CEBE sats/share $14,368.51 implied price That is 90.4x in the model. Preferred balance goes from $15.5B to $351.5B. Senior claims fall from 270K BTC to 122K BTC. Claim ratio falls from 32.0% to 5.9%. This means they have so much room to issue more credit given this Bitcoin growth rate. Common equity BTC rises by 1.37M BTC. CEBE sats/share rise 129.6%. Shares rise 47.5%. If the Bitcoin treasury compounds faster than the fiat claims, the capital structure becomes a machine that transfers residual Bitcoin exposure back to common equity. This is Ownership Acceleration. CEBE is the scoreboard. Bullish Strategy. See you in 2040:

Can't be bearish on Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s 4-year moving average is now ~$59,919. One year ago: ~$47,269. That’s +26.8% YoY. Since the February 5th, 2026 drawdown, the 4-year moving average is already up another $2,575, or +4.5%. Bitcoin's 4-year MA has NEVER gone down year over year. The tourists are staring at red candles. The long-term floor is walking uphill like always. Think Bitcoin is “going sideways”? The noise is going sideways. The monetary black hole is still moving up and to the right.

WHY $STRF IS THE GREATEST FIXED INCOME PRODUCT EVER The death of legacy fixed income is here. Michael Saylor, Bitcoin, and Strategy are here with $STRF to fill that gap. I aim to give a comprehensive breakdown of the most mind-blowing financial instrument today:

🔥SAYLOR SOLD OVER 3,000 BITCOIN! FULL MSTR UPDATE!🔥 Michael Saylor did the unthinkable. Strategy sold 3,588 Bitcoin for $216 million. The cold-storage monks immediately began speaking in tongues. The death-spiral bears lit candles around their dusty liquidation models. The “Bitcoin is money” crowd discovered, horrifyingly, that money can sometimes be used to pay things. This is a full deep dive on why Strategy sold Bitcoin:

This is unpopular to say, but retail is completely COOKED when it comes to Bitcoin. They will continue to sell their Bitcoin hand over fist to the institutions with lower time preference. Bitcoin will be redistributed according to the Pareto principle just like any other form of wealth. The suits are buying everything that moves. Since the spot ETF launch: IBIT has absorbed ~814,000 BTC-equivalent in net flows. Strategy has added ~655,000 BTC. Combined absorption: ~1.47 MILLION BTC. And people are still panic-posting because the daily candle hurt their feelings. Individuals sell when the chart looks scary. The machines, ETFs, corporate treasuries, advisors, allocators, and capital markets desks keep buying agnostic of vibes. Retail wants emotional confirmation. Institutions want inventory. You are watching Bitcoin migrate from trembling hands to permanent balance sheets in real time. Spot price is the distraction. Absorption is the signal.

🚨SAYLOR DESTROYS ALL CRITICS WITH USD CASH RESERVE - STRATEGY UPDATE 12.1.25🚨 Michael Saylor just broke the brains of every critic who spent 5 years predicting Strategy’s collapse. The $1.44B cash reserve announcement completely destroys the “LUNA 2.0” narrative and exposes how unserious the crypto commentariat really is. Strategy holds 650,000 BTC and enough cash to run the company for nearly two years with ZERO BITCOIN SELLING. In this video, I walk through the entire update like adults while laughing at the panic influencers who still think “MSTR bad” is a sophisticated thesis. S&P Global got addressed directly. Insolvency claims got vaporized. Market access concerns got resolved in real time. Critics are now scrambling to pretend they understood any of this. Watch the breakdown. Watch the receipts. Watch the complete destruction of the “death spiral” storyline. Strategy is not failing. Strategy is expanding. THE CRITICS ARE FAILING:
