HIP-3 deployers are currently in Growth Mode, which means trading fees are discounted by 90%. The next network upgrade will bring changes:
1) HIP-3 fees will be adjustable with a granularity of 90% discount to being 3x more expensive
2) Adjustable on a ticker basis

More Michael Saylor antics. And by antics I mean intentionally misleading crap designed to fool the retail investor. In case that wasn’t clear.
First, a 30 day Sharpe is an idiotic concept to start.
Second, you calculate realized Sharpe based on excess return NOT YIELD. Because, you know, sometimes it’s negative.
Third, if you do it (which you still shouldn’t do over 30 days) using returns (as you should over any period you choose) the sign is currently quite the opposite of the sign they present.
Utterly shameful.

Looks like Galaxy Digital $GLXY is set to announce a new data center development project in McGregor, TX.

Great writeup on $GLXY by @Crypto_Alex17 ... one of the few companies that give you exposure to the both the real growth of blockchain (stables/payments, DeFi, RWA tokenization) and the growth of AI (via its data center, Helios).

MSTR pickle continues: What I laid out 2 weeks ago is still the only viable path to save $BTC and $MSTR in the short-run.
Either sell an enormous amount of BTC and MSTR to help bring $STRC back up near par, and at least buy yourself some time, or continue to watch every part of your cap structure melt because of the uncertainty you've created.
My base case right now:
-70% odds they just keep doing what they're doing, selling small amounts of MSTR every month at non-accretive levels, crushing the stock til it falls to .70 mNAV. This would give STRC holders at least a glimmer of hope, and BTC would be fine, but MSTR would get hammered.
- 25% chance he does the right thing, admits he messed up when he bought back the debt, sells $3-4 bn of BTC, buys a ton of time (marginally good for MSTR, good for STRC, bad for BTC short-term but good long-term)
-5% chance he does the nuclear option -- kills the dividends, letting the prefs fall to 30-40 cents on the dollar, which will close the capital markets to him, but at least shuts off the $1.7 bn per year cash outlay problem, and gives BTC a chance to recover over several years.
FWIW -- MSTR is still trading at 1.15 mNAV using the correct calculation:
$54 bn BTC on balance sheet
+ $1 bn USD cash
- Less $5.2 bn debt
- Less $14.6 bn prefs (including STRC)
= $35.2 bn of unencumbered BTC
$40.4 bn MSTR equity market cap
$40.4 bn / $35.2 bn BTC = 1.15 mNAV
Which means -- MSTR still going a lot lower (should trade at a discount to NAV now).
Only one scenario saves bitcoin:native and $MSTR in the short-term.
Saylor has to come out and say (via Monday's 8K, or next Monday's 8K):
"I sold $4 bn of MSTR and BTC... we now have 2.5 years before we have to raise money again... dividends are covered for 2+ years, debt doesn't mature til sept 2028 (puttable in 2027) and that's easy to refinance via more converts".
If he does that, the market rips, and might even rip 20-30%. It once again makes MSTR uninteresting for years, but that's a good thing. STRC probably goes back close to $100, but he won't be able to sell more. And while capital markets might be closed to MSTR for awhile, it at least buys a ton of time, and in that time who knows what other catalysts might pop up.
He should have done this last week instead of that misguided $2.5mm teaser sale.
If he doesn't, and he continues to just wait it out (only has 5 months), or he sells tiny amounts as he goes (just enough to pay each monthly dividend), this selling won't stop

NEW DEEP DIVE -->

Taking the rest of the cap structure down with it.
These are fully backed assets btw, but they are perpetual/Don't need to be paid off unless liquidation, but the company is run by a cult leader
Still getting the ex-dividend sell-off despite being nowhere close to par.
At this point, it is pretty clear that it is going to take a lot more than small $100m USD reserve fund increases and a 50bp increase to the dividend rate to fix this ship.
Likely going to see $STRC not trade at par by the ex-dividend date for the first time in a while.
They:
1) Removed the USD reserve to buy back 0-coupon bonds (wild decision).
2) Didn't raise the STRC dividend rate today.
