"$STRF--yielding 8.6%--still seems more attractive than $STRC--yielding XXXXX% yield. STRF being senior in the capital stack (behind only bonds) is very appealing as is the X% penalty if $MSTR defers any dividend owed on STRF. If STRC succeeds and MSTR can run the ATM on it that both builds the BTC capital base which helps STRF and reduces the need to ATM STRF. I'm okay giving up 1.75%/yr for seniority in the capital stock and higher potential price appreciation. I understand why MSTR common holders want their grandmas to buy STRC but STRF seems like the better investment option"

"Who is tracking how much cash each BTCTC holds When all these companies traded at a premium no one cared. Just sell common for cash. But if the only way for the business to operate is with cash reserves or new debt (or selling chairs) it would be interesting to see how much cash they maintain"

"The implication is that current leverage is undesirable. Signals either preferreds are imminent; the company expects BTC to go down which would put pressure on the balance sheet if it had debt; or both. An interesting problem arises if the market reads the delevering via common issuance across the space as a signal that they too should exit riskier positions (BTCTCs). Creates a downward cascade in price. MP may be the only company that can reasonably say it's all about preferreds; and the lack of leverage doesn't reflect an effort to time the BTC market. Hope the preferreds launch and do well"

"I think @HermesLux is generally right regarding the inability of #bitcoin treasury companies to sustain high mNAVs unless they develop other income streams. But I think these companies including $MSTR and @Metaplanet_JP will need to go further to reassure the market that common share dilution is off the table. To do this they will need to legally eliminate the company's ability to easily turn on the common share ATM. I explain why and how below. Many treasury companies are hoping that $BTC pumps hard; investors hop back into riskier assets to try to outperform BTC; premiums expand; and they"

"I hear you man. I think you're right on the motivation. Also exlains all these companies stacking BTC as their mNAVs collapsed. Trading short term common stock performance for potential long-term benefit. My concern on prefs is the same as the MSTR prefs: absent operating income to pay the divs you need buyers to believe both (a) BTC is going up at a good click; and (b) the common stock will receive a premium.

"Interesting that you highlight ETFs. I've seen people note that you pay a XXXX% fee with IBIT but $MSTR is "free." Putting aside the operating losses borne by the shareholders $MSTR actually pays X% or more for its BTC--that fee is just applied when they sell stock (MSTR STRF STRK etc.). They sell stock and pay the Sales Agent X% then they buy BTC with that cash. The fees were higher for the BTC bought in the IPO than through the ATM. Not sure how much they pay to execute the BTC trade. You might not see an expense ratio for MSTR in your brokerage account but it's hardly "free.""

"It certainly requires more capital. You can still make the case it's better capital.

"I hear you. And that thinking does resonate to a degree. The future income streams is a speculative but it's something I certainly think about as even a small % of monetizing the BTC can lead to a tremendous outcome if the BTC stack is big. I fear the equity dilution is slowly killing the ability for them to acquire more BTC as it dissuades new investors from buying at any premium. I think they all recognize this which is why many companies seem to be focusing intently on preferreds. If they limit the equity dilution to cover the preferred dividends then premium could return--which is how"

"I like MetaPlanet but I think it's misleading to refer to their BTC income generation as a "profitable operating business." They sell cash secured puts. The only way they can sell the puts is to first have cash--and the only meaningful way for them to get cash is to first dilute common holders through the sale of stock. (They say they don't use margin.) This is not an operating business in any ordinary sense of the term. So it's not surprising that the market doesn't value MetaPlanet based on its "operating business.""

"$STRF--yielding 8.6%--still seems more attractive than $STRC--yielding XXXXX% yield. STRF being senior in the capital stack (behind only bonds) is very appealing as is the X% penalty if $MSTR defers any dividend owed on STRF. If STRC succeeds and MSTR can run the ATM on it that both builds the BTC capital base which helps STRF and reduces the need to ATM STRF. I'm okay giving up 1.75%/yr for seniority in the capital stock and higher potential price appreciation. I understand why MSTR common holders want their grandmas to buy STRC but STRF seems like the better investment option"

"Who is tracking how much cash each BTCTC holds When all these companies traded at a premium no one cared. Just sell common for cash. But if the only way for the business to operate is with cash reserves or new debt (or selling chairs) it would be interesting to see how much cash they maintain"

"The implication is that current leverage is undesirable. Signals either preferreds are imminent; the company expects BTC to go down which would put pressure on the balance sheet if it had debt; or both. An interesting problem arises if the market reads the delevering via common issuance across the space as a signal that they too should exit riskier positions (BTCTCs). Creates a downward cascade in price. MP may be the only company that can reasonably say it's all about preferreds; and the lack of leverage doesn't reflect an effort to time the BTC market. Hope the preferreds launch and do well"

"I think @HermesLux is generally right regarding the inability of #bitcoin treasury companies to sustain high mNAVs unless they develop other income streams. But I think these companies including $MSTR and @Metaplanet_JP will need to go further to reassure the market that common share dilution is off the table. To do this they will need to legally eliminate the company's ability to easily turn on the common share ATM. I explain why and how below. Many treasury companies are hoping that $BTC pumps hard; investors hop back into riskier assets to try to outperform BTC; premiums expand; and they"

"I hear you man. I think you're right on the motivation. Also exlains all these companies stacking BTC as their mNAVs collapsed. Trading short term common stock performance for potential long-term benefit. My concern on prefs is the same as the MSTR prefs: absent operating income to pay the divs you need buyers to believe both (a) BTC is going up at a good click; and (b) the common stock will receive a premium. Just guessing but I imagine these concerns may hold back prefs more than the actual leverage ratio of the company"

"I'm with you. I don't think paying for preferred dividends largely by selling more common will be received well by potential preferred buyers.

"Interesting that you highlight ETFs. I've seen people note that you pay a XXXX% fee with IBIT but $MSTR is "free." Putting aside the operating losses borne by the shareholders $MSTR actually pays X% or more for its BTC--that fee is just applied when they sell stock (MSTR STRF STRK etc.). They sell stock and pay the Sales Agent X% then they buy BTC with that cash. The fees were higher for the BTC bought in the IPO than through the ATM. Not sure how much they pay to execute the BTC trade. You might not see an expense ratio for MSTR in your brokerage account but it's hardly "free.""

"It certainly requires more capital. You can still make the case it's better capital.

"I hear you. And that thinking does resonate to a degree. The future income streams is a speculative but it's something I certainly think about as even a small % of monetizing the BTC can lead to a tremendous outcome if the BTC stack is big. I fear the equity dilution is slowly killing the ability for them to acquire more BTC as it dissuades new investors from buying at any premium. I think they all recognize this which is why many companies seem to be focusing intently on preferreds. If they limit the equity dilution to cover the preferred dividends then premium could return--which is how"

"I like MetaPlanet but I think it's misleading to refer to their BTC income generation as a "profitable operating business." They sell cash secured puts. The only way they can sell the puts is to first have cash--and the only meaningful way for them to get cash is to first dilute common holders through the sale of stock. (They say they don't use margin.) This is not an operating business in any ordinary sense of the term. So it's not surprising that the market doesn't value MetaPlanet based on its "operating business.""
