What if everyone is measuring $MSTR wrong? In this conversation with Adrian Morris, founding member of True North (True North), we challenge some of the biggest assumptions in the Bitcoin Treasury space: • Why mNAV is really a sentiment metric • Why Bitcoin per share isn't a valuation metric • Why Strategy shouldn't defend its mNAV • The real story behind Strategy selling 32 $BTC • Why $STRC and $SATA may evolve very differently than investors expect • Why AI is attracting some of Bitcoin's capital One of the most thought-provoking $MSTR conversations we've had. If Adrian is right, investors may be looking at $MSTR completely wrong. $MSTR $ASST $MPJPY 00:00 Adrian Morris' Bitcoin Journey & Why He Bought MSTR 05:02 The Real Meaning of mNAV (Market Sentiment) 10:10 Why Bitcoin Treasury mNAVs Eventually Collapse 11:22 Should Bitcoin Treasury Companies Defend Their mNAV? 15:56 The Fatal Flaw in mNAV Buybacks 17:57 Why Strategy Should NOT Sell Bitcoin to Buy Back Shares 20:15 Why Did Strategy Sell 32 Bitcoin? 23:55 MSTR Myths, Margin Calls & X Misinformation 25:38 Why Bitcoin Per Share May Be Misleading Investors 31:09 The Endgame for Bitcoin Treasury Companies 34:42 The Future: REITs, Options & Bitcoin Financial Products 36:46 STRC, SATA & Bitcoin Preferred Shares Explained 41:22 Does STRC Guidance Even Matter? 43:12 Why SATA Outperformed STRC 45:42 Daily Dividends: Innovation or Hype? 48:30 Will STRC & SATA Eventually Cut Dividends? 54:54 Is AI Stealing Capital From Bitcoin? 01:00:51 Can Bitcoin Become AI's Security Layer? 01:03:56 Adrian's Message to Bitcoin Investors Watch the full episode 👇

WHY I AM BUYING STRIVE (ASST) In this video, I walk through my full investment thesis on Strive (ASST), a Bitcoin treasury company with one of the cleanest and most interesting capital structures in the market today. This is not a hype video. This is a long-duration, balance-sheet-driven compounding thesis. I break down: Why ASST’s lack of debt matters more than people realize How SATA (perpetual preferred equity) creates Bitcoin amplification without liquidation risk Why maintaining ~31% amplification dramatically changes long-term outcomes What happens to the common stock under 20%, 25%, and 30% Bitcoin CAGR scenarios How Bitcoin per share compounds quietly over time due to the structure itself What dilution, PIPE overhang, and ATMs actually mean in practice Under conservative assumptions, even the lowest modeled Bitcoin growth scenario produces extreme asymmetry over long time horizons. Higher CAGR scenarios push the equity into territory most investors psychologically struggle to model. No multiple expansion assumed. No debt leverage assumed. No heroic assumptions required. This video is about understanding how time, compounding, and capital structure interact, and why that combination can produce non-linear outcomes if Bitcoin continues to succeed. This is not financial advice. This is how I’m thinking about risk, asymmetry, and survival over the next 10 to 20 years:

🧠 “You're swapping your dollars for Bitcoin upside and reduced downside and yield in perpetuity, which is nuts.” After being at Strategy world it was clear that the Strategy team views $STRK and $STRF as innovate products that can transform the market. Jeff Walton and Dan Hillery made it their mission to showcase the power of these new products on an off cycle live stream via . These products are absolutely going to eat the markets from the inside out. Liquidity and adoption will take time to mature. Listen to their conversation to get educated on who these products were built for and how Michael Saylor can leverage them to increase BTC torque. Key segments: 💸 Dual Yield Strategy: Strike offers 8.7% yield—430 bps above Treasuries—plus $MSTR upside, giving investors both fixed income and equity-style returns in one product [00:06:09]. 📊 Portfolio Flexibility Tool: $STRK suits conservative investors seeking yield with growth. Its structure lets you preserve capital while earning and gaining Bitcoin exposure [00:09:25]. ⚖️ Low-Probability Risk Profile: For $MSTR to default, $BTC must crash to ~$14K and stay there. With that event priced at 0.13% odds, $STRK offers asymmetric upside [00:13:01]. ♻️ Flywheel Effect Advantage: $STRK’s popularity helps $MSTR add more Bitcoin, boosting credit quality and yield—creating a cycle that reinforces itself over time [00:21:14]. 📈 Margin Efficiency Play: With 30% margin requirements, investors can leverage $STRK for high yield and MSTR exposure, outperforming many fixed income options [00:47:24].
