Hey @fillippone As you mentioned, the most significant aspect of this announcement for me is that Strategy has once again demonstrated it is seeking new ways to manage capital without selling its Bitcoin. I believe this could be a positive signal for long-term BTC holders, as it alleviates selling pressure on the company's Bitcoin reserves.

Again... I feel that a rise in share or BTC prices driven solely by an announcement cannot be termed long-term success. The real factors here will be how this Digital Credit Capital Framework actually operates, what the financing costs are, and the extent to which it can strengthen the company's cash flow and balance sheet.

I would like to offer another perspective: if the strategy can indeed enhance liquidity while maintaining Bitcoin exposure, it could serve as a model for other companies holding Bitcoin in their treasuries to follow in the future. Therefore, beyond the initial market reaction, monitoring the actual results of its implementation is now of the utmost importance.

Saylor decided to do what he'd been advised to do for the past few weeks. so far, this has brought positive results. the question is how long this positive momentum will last for Strategy shares. also it will be interesting to see how will Bitcoin market behave without Strategy's large purchases. in March Strategy bought over 44 000 BTC, in April - over 56 000 BTC and in May - over 25 000 BTC. basically, there’s no one left to buy these kinds of volumes from the market anymore.

I have to say that, all things considered, and given the company’s current situation, it’s not bad. I was afraid he was going to keep buying Bitcoin every week as if nothing were wrong.

If you think about it, it sounds a little silly, because he kept borrowing large amounts of money when the price was at its peak, and now that we’re in a bear market, he’s going to sell—but given the company’s situation, and the fact that no action seemed ideal in this context, it’s not bad.
