Latest on STRC — Strategy Preferred Equity
I Borrowed Against My House To Buy STRC
Trey Sellers borrowed against his home at 5% to buy STRC yielding 10%, and he explains why he never worried when it crashed. The head of Strike Private and creator of FIRE BTC joins host Joe Burnett to discuss how Bitcoin changes the math of retiring early, why he thinks an 8% withdrawal rate is conservative on a Bitcoin standard, and why you should keep a mortgage instead of paying it off. They also cover growth vs. income investing, whether digital credit is suppressing Bitcoin's price, and why $83,000 Bitcoin is bullish.
STRC: An Assessment of Buybacks, Market Structure & Channel Sensitivity
Adrian Morris tests whether Strategy's STRC buybacks drove the instrument's recovery toward par. A 60-session variance attribution assigns most of STRC's explained daily-return variance to the other digital credit preferreds, MSTR ex-BTC and Bitcoin, a buyback proxy adds little explanatory fit, and the report weighs leverage as a plausible explanation for June's selloff.
The Berkshires of Bitcoin
The crew kicks off Season 3 with a balance sheet check-in on Strategy and Strive: Strategy's 950 BTC purchase, STRC buybacks, cash versus convertible debt, and Strive's growing Bitcoin position, dividend coverage, and potential warrant capital. The crew then breaks down why digital credit changes the probability of outcomes versus traditional credit, draws parallels between Strategy and Berkshire Hathaway's insurance float model, and closes with a look at options activity across ASST, MSTR, IBIT, and STRC.
