I understand the threat might be minimal but it's hard for me to accept that providing no information about the coins on chair address adds more threat of loss. It's either neutral to hide address or else it's worse to provide the address from a security standpoint. I see no scenario where security is improved.

To your second point that is completely correct. Any on chain movements could spook the market which is yet another reason he would not want to provide that information.

However I would think in both of these cases him holding this information back is in the shareholders interest. The only fear is they only hold paper bitcoin but I would say most of the capital invested in MSTR is not coming from a "not your keys not your coin" background so this is unlikely to actual impact the majority of investor sentiment.

His AI response was nonsense. Too many people are relying on AI to just validate whatever they want. It's a problem.

The comparison to Peterson is interesting. His downfall has been quite a ride.
