"I had a lot of great responses to this post and most everyone who disagreed said that Strategy is holding cash because it will unlock something beneficial. I believe that this is correct. Maybe it unlocks a rating agency favorable rating or inclusion into an index or a large buy into the prefs. Although this is an impairment on the per share today (well since Monday anyway) this move likely has positioned for more bitcoin to make up for it. 👍 I do still maintain that the C-suite didnt want to do this and it only occurred bc someone else insisted. Not sure if that ever comes to light or not."

"$OBTC @OspreyFunds announced a couple of days ago that they filed a draft S-1 with the SEC as part of their efforts to convert to an ETF. I was researching with Grok and I learned that this earlier filing the 19b-4 has to do with permission to trade on the exchange and if the SEC doesn't deny it it will automatically be approved on Nov XX. However in order for trading of the security the S-1 also has to be approved. SEC could delay a decision on this although IMHO this is so similar to the GBTC conversion it seems unlikely they would raise issue. Grok then suggested that I can follow my posts"

"All UTXOs are money and are spendable but it may cost more to spend it than the amount of sats in the UTXO. If the holder of the UTXO thinks that it is worth it to add sats to the transaction in order to send he can include another UTXO. Im not an expert in ordinals but I believe it tracks the first sat in the UTXO. So if the inscription that is being tracked is included in the UTXO A with only XX sats you can combine it with UTXO Bs 5000 sats and send it to the new address and pay the miner etc. If you or the wallet software is careless and you have UTXO B as the first input then the sat"
