[STRATEGY ISSUES LETTER TO MSCI




Quoted for better exposure.
I didn't even know they currently pushing for the criteria on excluding companies with 50% digital asset
That would be a really big hurdle
Reminds me of ETFs approvals.
Their point is that companies with more than 50% of digital looks more like ETFs
And they are not normally eligible for the inclusion.
One thing I have gotten used to is anything about Bitcoin is not usually accepted in the first try.

Saylor went all in this time, he bought a lot, so from the market we can only expect one thing: a drop. After all, every time Michael Saylor buys, bitcoin falls in price. It’s incredible how “unlucky” this guy is.

I just hope he doesn’t die anytime soon. After all, my only concern is what will happen to those bitcoins when he passes away.



Yes, you are right, we have seen this in the market many times. But there is no guarantee that it will always happen. Because currently we may be going through a decline, due to which the market is not going up no matter how big the purchase is in the market. A few days ago when BlackRock bought Bitcoin, I thought that maybe Bitcoin's decline is over, maybe now it will create a new ATH, but nothing like that happened, instead the market went back to the decline.

However, it is not possible to say why this is happening in the market, but it is hoped that the market will return to its previous position very soon.

The fact that whenever Saylor buys Bitcoin people expect it to drop is, sure, a joke that should be made, but it is not a trend that we can count on. Large blocks do not necessarily shift the market either way particularly in the context of more general bearish mood with even big institutional purchases not making any headway. We have witnessed the same with the recent accumulation made by BlackRock, the market was just not prepared to turn back. Long-term fundamentals do not change due to the entry of a single buyer, because sometimes short-term reactions are unpredictable. On the MicroStrategy holdings, the holdings are organized in the form of a publicly traded company with corporate governance thus the assets will not just vanish upon an occurrence of an event that affects Saylor. The only thing to do now is wait until the market situation changes once more.

I personally believe that nothing will happen. Chad Saylor will continue to be like Bitcoin, a Honey Badger surviving the bear cycles and prosper during bull cycles. He will continue to keep buying like Bitcoin will continue chugging along producing block after block.
I agree with you, there is nothing to be afraid of here. Sailor is just like Bitcoin's Honey Badger, no matter how rough the market is, the guy doesn't deviate from his thesis. He survives the bear market and comes back stronger in the bull run. Just as Bitcoin continues to move forward with blocks, Sailor will continue to accumulate more with his strategy. In my view, this is completely normal, nothing more will happen, this is the real picture!

I concur that there is nothing peculiar really going on. Saylor has demonstrated over the years that his strategy is long-term, conviction-based, just as it is with Bitcoin itself. He has been using the same approach, accumulating and holding, whether the market was in the deep bear market or just in escalating into another bull cycle. It is such consistency that makes the Honey Badger comparison so appropriate. Bitcoin continues to create blocks irrespective of moods, and Saylor continues to purchase irrespective of short-term fluctuation. His moves are often overanalyzed by people, but in fact he is just continuing the same thesis that he has been repeating since 2020. Nothing much of a drama here--it is simply a strategy that he evidently believes in.

They are diluting investors, in my opinion, only if the BTC yield is below zero.
I see MSTR as a way of purchasing Bitcoin, so for me, the true hurdle rate is the SATS/Share ratio.
I know this is different from traditional finance, where the raised capital dilutes existing shareholders, but I am changing the perspective a little here.

Of course, that's the crux of the matter. Saylor's model is based on Bitcoin appreciating by an average of 30% over the next 20 years. Obviously, this implies volatility; some years it will rise more than that, others it will even be negative. That's how it all works: the mMAV and preferreds, which offer an approximate 10% dividend and, depending on the type of preferred, 20% or less, would serve to appreciate the common stock.

However, it is that premise that I have been questioning lately.

Within that model, this year is the one in which Bitcoin had everything going for it. Support from the US government, the establishment of a strategic reserve, and growing institutional adoption. And the price is flat.

So, I don't know what will happen next year. I am sure that in 10 to 20 years, Bitcoin will be worth much more than it is now. But without getting into catastrophic scenarios, I think we cannot rule out the possibility of the price remaining flat or even falling in the coming years.

The S&P 500 and gold have had periods of a decade without profits. We cannot rule out something like that with Bitcoin. Or even half of that. In a scenario where the price of Bitcoin is sideways for the next 3-5 years, Saylor's model will continue to dilute.

Anyway, I haven't sold yet, but I think I'm going to sell my MSTR shares today. Lately, I have too many doubts to hold on to them.

Saylor’s plan works only when Bitcoin grows faster than the debt he stacks. A long flat stretch breaks that balance. MSTR faces dilution in any slow cycle because the leverage never rests. Bitcoin might still win big longterm, but MSTR is a different bet with extra layers tied to timing. Selling the stock while holding Bitcoin looks like a clean move when conviction shifts. The core asset stays strong, the vehicle changes.

So I guess it's another sale pitch from Saylor with regards to Bitcoin so that banks will agree and to accept it. He is also pitching Bitcoin to the Middle East.

This is a strong argument: Bitcoin has the potential to definitely work in the long-term, and MSTR has to fight in the meantime. The strategy of Saylor is potent only in the situation when the price of leverage is overtaken by the BTC, and several years of flatness would exert real stress on the model. We have witnessed other key assets remaining frozen during prolonged periods of time, therefore it is not idealistic. This is a reasonable strategy on your part--when you lose confidence in timing, it would be a good idea to hold Bitcoin directly but less exposure to MSTR to simplify the risk without the underlying thesis.

I have a mixed feeling about this.
Micheal Saylor is obviously very smart, and a very good orator. But the tone that he uses on some occasion I guess sounds too extreme when speaking to a bank.
“Sell your house and buy Bitcoin” is not a financial advice, of course, but I am not sure is something a bank want to be coupled with.

You bet on down when you fail/refuse to buy,
What's wrong with that? You're mad because a person expects that a DIP will happen based on a pattern that has been happening every four years?
Bitcoin has been going up since you got into bitcoin, so you have been a dumb ass
Who are you calling a dumb ass? Bitcoin DOESN'T go up in a straight line. Haha.

Large DIPS keep happening every four years.
  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was describing your actions, and saying that you have been a dumbass,


What actions, and a dumbass about what? For buying the DIP/believing that there's a Four-Year-Cycle during the past Bull and Bear Cycles?

Quote

You have been here in Bitcoin Land longer than most of your fellow plebs like me.


So? 

So you probably should notice that there IS a four-year-cycle, and that won't change until there are obvious validations that it has changed.


Even though I noticed a pattern that seems to follow a 4-year cycle, it does not mean that any newbie to bitcoin should be fucking around trying to figure out such a pattern rather than just getting started buying and just buying bitcoin no matter the price for 4 years straight. I don't see how the existence of a 4-year cycle affects what a newbie should do right now.. and I am referring to a newbie as anyone in their first 4 years of accumulating bitcoin.  Of course if they have been able to greatly front load their bitcoin investment, then they might be in a different position as compared with someone who might have something like a $30k per year income and is buying around $100 per week in bitcoin for the past 3-4 years.  Even a person who had a $30k per year income and had been buying $100 per week of bitcoin for 4 years, he would have had invested around $20k and maybe accumulated a bit more than 0.5 BTC.  i am not sure that puts him in a position to be fucking around changing his strategy, and so in that kind of a situation, I see no reason to deviate from the already existing practice of continuing to buy $100 per week of bitcoin.. since that is about 17% of his income which is already a reasonably aggressive approach.  You are wanting to suggest that the guy should stop buying bitcoin and wait for a dip down to the 200-WMA, which may or may not end up happening? I doubt that waiting is good advice, even if your plan is to wait for such a dip that may or may not end up happening and you may well might be bettr off to just keep buying bitcoin, even though supposedly you have already been buying for the past 6.5-ish years, yet part of your problem is that you have been waiting for a dip since around August 2023, so you have already put yourself into a bit of a pickle through your already less than preferable (and even whimpy) bitcoin accumulation behaviors. I doubt that you have benefitted by your failure/refusal to buy bitcoin in the past more than 2 years, even though you seem to be hoping for redemption if they price ends up dropping to the 200-WMA, which may not end up happening as you are expecting it to do.  You are not in a good position to be doing that, even though you surely have the right to carry out your bitcoin purchases in any way that you deem to be suitable to your circumstances.... even if those are bit seemingly dumb-ass, especially from my perspective of what good bitcoin accumulation practices are.


I respect your viewpoint, but why are you mad when someone prefers Buying The DIP during Bear Cycles as a default strategy?

Quote

--Snip--  Since MSTR has has hinged so much of itself on bitcoin, it's behaviors and it's performance ends up affecting how bitcoin performs, even though they are not the same thing... so yeah, it can be interesting to see how much MSTR prices might diverge from BTC spot prices.. and we have frequently found guys aspiring for lower BTC prices, even during periods that they should be buying, just like you were doing in mid-2023 when we were in the upper $20ks, you were so excitedly waiting for lower $20ks that did not end up happening, so you are again getting excited for down that might not happen... and so yeah, this time might be different so that you can buy some cheaper coins, and perhaps you will not be able to?
But Bitcoin did go its 200-Weekly SMA though, which was a GOOD buying opportunity for me and many of our fellow plebs. I will be of the belief that it will go near or below that again until it doesn't.
I doubt that you benefitted from the 2022 to 2023 period as much as you claim to have had benefitted,
I may not have actual/absolute bottom of the DIP during 2022, but I'm sure I would have bought LESS units in Bitcoin for the same amount of fiat if I didn't wait for the the price to crash near the 200-Weekly SMA.

I doubt that you are measuring in a good way... and sometimes it is bettter to just keep buying, even though you think that there is value to try to keep your cost per BTC down, and I have a lot of doubts about cost per BTC to be a good measurement, especially when you have been aware of bitcoin for 9.5 years, and even if we do not start from May 2016, there is some point that you should have gotten the fuck started rather than ongoingly fucking around with waiting and planning for down, and that has not been a good strategy in bitcoin - even if you are trying to suggest that you are better off for your waiting behaviors and your buying the dip behaviors.. I don't believe that it has been good for you and I don't believe that it is good as a general practice, especially for guys who are in their early stages of accumulating bitcoin, whether their first whole cycle or maybe even longer than a whole cycle since it can take a long time to really build up a decent bitcoin portfolio, and trying to time dips is an inferior approach, since the dips might not happen and you end up spending a lot of time waiting and not ongoingly reinforcing the buying of bitcoin, which ends up in way less bitcoin than you could have otherwise had.

It's probably going to happen again, and I'm buying. Cool
Yes.  You are stubborn, and you can believe what you like in terms of your own practices in regards to comparing a buying the dip practice to a DCA practice,

I'm not even comparing Buy The DIP and DCA, nor am I telling you that one strategy is better than the other. I'm merely saying, that if there's a DIP, I'm buying. Why are you mad?


I am telling you that you are preaching an inferior practice, even if you are proclaiming to not argue it as being superior.   Your system has fucked you in the past, and you seem to love following the same practice and ending up with way less bitcoin than you otherwise could have had and should have had if you had followed a more regular system.

Hard to take you seriously when you don't even seem to be trying to be reasonable, even in regards to your own ongoing description of your practices. ..and yeah, in the end, you have the right to do whatever you like, even if it is dumb, and so I am frequently letting you know that it is both dumb and it is an inferior way to accumulate bitcoin in the event that your goal is to accumulate bitcoin and to potentially reach fuck you status at some point in the future.


How would buying with almost everything I have during the 2019 DIPs during April that year would "fucked me in the past"?

 

Plus if you believe DCA is superior, OK. You do you.

1) Self-Custody is a right.  Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

So I guess it's another sale pitch from Saylor with regards to Bitcoin so that banks will agree and to accept it. He is also pitching Bitcoin to the Middle East.

Quote
Michael Saylor Urges Middle East to Become the 'Switzerland of Bitcoin Banking'

I have a mixed feeling about this.
Micheal Saylor is obviously very smart, and a very good orator. But the tone that he uses on some occasion I guess sounds too extreme when speaking to a bank.
“Sell your house and buy Bitcoin” is not a financial advice, of course, but I am not sure is something a bank want to be coupled with.


Central banks of various countries are using Bitcoin as a transaction and as a holding. This is definitely a positive aspect for Bitcoin, because if central banks support Bitcoin, the people of that country will be attracted to Bitcoin holding. Various officials including the government will also be involved in this Bitcoin holding, they will grasp Bitcoin more.

Apart of the Czech Central Bank, which bough a scrap of Bitcoin, most likely a test, I am not aware of other CB’s holding Bitcoin, or any other digital asset (namely, schitcoin).

Is it Currency or Store of Value (SoV)? There's a tension there, but the reality is that Bitcoin is what people make of it. If large corporations use it as a Store of Value (SoV), that doesn't "defeat its purpose" but rather strengthens its relevance and value.


What Tension? No need to stress on it. Bitcoin is money
And been a Store of value is also a feature of money.
The debate is usually on Bitcoin as money and Bitcoin other use case.


Central banks of various countries are using Bitcoin as a transaction and as a holding.
I really find this hard to believe call it skeptism.
My country banned all Banks from dealing with Cryptocurrency.

I think there's no used to explain since if you check his post that was made by an AI so sharing your thoughts or opinion is useless. Since its irrelevant to discuss things to people use Ai to construct words.

Call it hard to believe but actually adoption is slowly growing now on banking sector. It doesn't mean that the banking institution in your country ban bitcoin it applies to other banks on other country to. Maybe there are just some sort of strict regulation happening and your government order your bank to do it.

But there's really cool development happening now and we see big banks are now allowing its clients to do transactions using Bitcoin.

Saylor had great statement towards this matters https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2025/12/07/michael-saylor-explains-why-banks-wont-wait-for-bitcoin/

I'm not really verse in knowing AI generated post since I was of the notion it more fun speaking to a human than a bot.

Well I'm not judging the world by my country policy
Just sharing an example.
The reason I said I was skeptical is well say adoption is slowly growing but barely visible
Everybody is buying
But we going down.
And what narrative of Bitcoin is been pushed? Digital Gold with a touch of volatility.
Like Gold is stable.



Don't mind my rant.

We must remember that when they ATM MSTR, they are diluting shareholders.

They are diluting investors, in my opinion, only if the BTC yield is below zero.
I see MSTR as a way of purchasing Bitcoin, so for me, the true hurdle rate is the SATS/Share ratio.
I know this is different from traditional finance, where the raised capital dilutes existing shareholders, but I am changing the perspective a little here.

It is an intriguing approach to the strategy of MicroStrategy and it is reasonable when considered through the prism of Bitcoin. Traditionally, finance wise speaking, ATM offerings do water down shareholders by adding to the number of shares. But when the capital raised is invested in buying Bitcoin and the BTC yield per share proceeds to rise, then long term holders will be benefiting. Then the more significant measure is the sats-per-share ratio as opposed to short term stock price dilution. Naturally, such a strategy will only pay off provided that Bitcoin will be more effective than cash in the long term. This approach is optimal to satisfy the long-term belief of investors that consider MSTR to be primarily a proxy of exposure to Bitcoin.

Central banks of various countries are using Bitcoin as a transaction and as a holding. This is definitely a positive aspect for Bitcoin, because if central banks support Bitcoin, the people of that country will be attracted to Bitcoin holding. Various officials including the government will also be involved in this Bitcoin holding, they will grasp Bitcoin more.


Which Central Banks are you referring to?
Apart of the Czech Central Bank, which bough a scrap of Bitcoin, most likely a test, I am not aware of other CB’s holding Bitcoin, or any other digital asset (namely, schitcoin).

Even Aleš Michl has confirmed that they are only testing this in preparation for the possibility of greater adoption and to gain experience in the digital market.
They have also confirmed that they will not add any amount to their current portfolio because they think 1 million is enough to test and evaluate in the next 2 or 3 years as initial progress.
I came up with the idea of creating a test portfolio in January 2025. The aim was to test decentralised bitcoin from the central bank’s perspective and to evaluate its potential role in diversifying our reserves. The Bank Board then decided to have an analysis prepared. Subsequent internal discussions broadened the scope to include the future of payments and the tokenisation of assets. As a result, stablecoins and tokenised deposits were included alongside bitcoin. We will inform the public about our experience on an ongoing basis and present an overall assessment of the project in approximately two to three years,” said CNB Governor Aleš Michl.

Michael Saylor has once again added an orange dot to his Bitcoin purchase to keep his company's Bitcoin purchases in check. Tomorrow we will see Michael Saylor add Bitcoin to his original holdings, it is very interesting and fun as they continue to invest in the company and save energy to invest in more unique Bitcoin investors. Just wait and be patient and they will add a large amount of Bitcoin purchase to their original holdings.

I don't know why you keep repeating yourself. Haha.

     

Whenever I express my viewpoint that buying the DIP is a Golden Opportunity for us plebs, and that there's a high probability that Bitcoin will go near, or will touch, or go below its 200-Weekly SMA, you are always there to call me names and you keep telling me I'm a dumb-ass.

Why? Plus you tell me I'm the arrogant one? Laughable.
