The crew works through the STRC selloff — what MSTR’s cash-reserve reduction means for capital structure, dividend coverage, and debt reduction, and how an issuer can steady STRC’s price while the market reprices it as a Bitcoin derivative. They weigh STRC’s yield against its volatility and trading volume, then turn to the wave of AI and IPO capital (SpaceX and the tech giants), what AI’s marginal-cost dynamics and shifting pricing models mean for Bitcoin’s narrative, and the case for Bitcoin as savings technology with digital credit as the bridge to adoption. A live Q&A closes on STRC dividend confidence, treasury-company outperformance, OTC Bitcoin execution, and the latest STRC FUD.
