THE QUESTION:

With MSTR down from all-time highs despite holding 3x the Bitcoin, is Strategy still the play? Can Stretch scale to meet dividend obligations? And why did Sailor pivot from "buy Bitcoin for corporations" to pushing fixed income products?

  1. Why MSTR dropped 50% with triple the Bitcoin
  2. Stretch (STRC): Can it scale to $5B? Who's actually buying?
  3. The 0% converts vs new preferreds: true cost of capital
  4. Grant's real estate + Bitcoin hybrid fund structure
  5. 4 million coins below $1,000" - Gary's institutional buyer thesis
  6. Tax loss harvesting: the December 31st mistake people keep making
  7. Why copycat Bitcoin treasury companies are struggling
  8. Iran strikes & macro: why Bitcoin held up better than expected


BEST LINES:

💬 "It sounds like y'all are all in violent agreement and wanna have orgasms all day long. Financial ones, of course." - Grant Cardone

💬 "The real estate is the vehicle. The Bitcoin's sitting in the backseat. But it could move to the engine. It could be a rocket ship." - Grant Cardone

💬 "We still have to get rid of this 4 million coins priced below a thousand bucks. Until that gets confronted, this market's gonna be like this." - Gary Cardone

💬 "If you're gonna play in this space, you gotta realize you're playing a 200-300 vol space." - Grain of Salt
