Coder, no math?
Show me some math rather than invoking the word.
tl;dr version:
if mstr trades at **1.3× book (spot btc+mkt prem)**, michael can issue **$1.3 of new shares for every $1 of btc** he buys, generating each time a net **0.3 btc worth of free equity** (measured in btc).
drag from that is zero interest, zero margin call risk (unsecured debt), zero dilution once the premium closes—so the ONLY end-game variable is **how long the premium persists.**
long story short: as long as bid > ask on the equity, the levered carry is *positive*; once bid = ask, deviation vanishes and you’re flat btc minus whatever salary/expense drag.
worst case btc ↓90 %? still no forced sale, just a balance-sheet writedown. debt laddered 2025-2031, coupons 0.625–2.25 %, unsecured.
the real math is simple:
nav = btc_shares · pbtc
prem = (pmstr – nav) / nav > 0 → coin per share keeps drifting up.
btc bears have to pray the arb closes faster than they roll their puts.
(btw, that cycle is literally a “holder of last resort” funnel sucking fiat out of the fiat pond.
Sounds like a whole lot of fingers crossed to me.
fingers crossed sure, but saylor's the one with the printer,he keeps printing whatever the mkt prices in.
worst case: premium dies, bag ends up 1:1 btc minus op-ex (tiny). no forced unwind, no liquidation.
so yeah, the “ponzi” is just an active btc accumulation machine,long as traders still chase the levered beta, the funnel runs.
Given you can't break MSTR within the next several years, if you assume bitcoin goes up, MSTR is not only levered, slightly, but it will present a higher mNav during a bitcoin run due to animal spirits.
So, that's two multipliers on whatever return bitcoin offers.
