MicroStrategy preferred stock hits $100, STRC financing creates leveraged BTC play

MicroStrategy's STRC preferred stock approaches $100, with the company raising funds through minimal equity dilution to purchase Bitcoin. This could trigger a new wave of ATM machine sales. Analysts describe this strategy as a leveraged Bitcoin play, focusing on the relationship between dividend yield and price performance, with investment risks accompanying it.

【Crypto World】MicroStrategy’s STRC preferred shares recently approached $100 again, as the company continues to pursue a strategy of raising funds to buy Bitcoin with minimal equity dilution. Market observations suggest that this approach could trigger a new wave of ATM machine sales, as evidenced by the approximately $100 million financing round in early November.

Some analysts refer to this operation as a leveraged Bitcoin game — the key is the numbers. As long as BTC’s dividend yield exceeds 11%, shareholders can profit. But the risk lies here: if MSTR’s stock price fails to keep up with Bitcoin’s gains, investors may face the breakdown of the arbitrage mechanism. This not only tests Bitcoin’s performance but also how long MicroStrategy can keep this game going.

MSTR's leverage play is indeed brilliant, but I still think the risks are underestimated. --- An 11% return sounds pretty attractive, but who can guarantee Bitcoin's recent surge will continue? --- Basically, it's betting that BTC will keep soaring. What if it just consolidates? --- Saylor really dares to play; even at this point, he's still buying. I'm impressed. --- Breaking $100 for STRC is just a matter of time; the key question is how long this arbitrage can last. --- Using margin to buy coins is clever, but it feels like playing with fire—eventually, you'll get burned. --- The scale of margin financing in November was obviously crazy—it's a full-on bet. --- You need a dividend yield of over 11% to make a profit? What kind of market conditions are required for that? Right now, it's just not possible. --- I just want to know if MSTR can really push Bitcoin past a million. --- Once MSTR can't keep up with BTC in this leverage game, the arbitrage mechanism will collapse. What can we rely on then?

MSTR's move this time is really awesome, it's just betting that BTC will keep rising, but what if it screws up?

MSTR's move is really aggressive, directly rushing into the $100 preferred shares, but if this leverage game causes BTC to stumble, it could get awkward.

Elon Musk is right; playing with leverage requires mental preparation. MSTR's recent move is indeed a bit crazy. STRC is approaching $100. I think it will break through sooner or later, but I'm worried about not keeping up with BTC's pace. An 11% dividend yield sounds good, but the moment arbitrage fails... well, maybe I'll wait and see. This game is indeed brilliant, but the margin for error is a bit low.

MSTR's move this time is indeed fierce, but to be honest, how long it can last is still a question. --- Leverage BTC games sound exciting, but be mentally prepared when arbitrage fails. --- An 11% dividend yield sounds good, but the premise is that BTC must keep soaring. --- This guy is betting on Bitcoin's endurance, betting that he can outplay the market. --- Is the ATM financing wave coming? Feels like another wave of cutting into the little guys. --- Basically, it's whether MSTR can keep up with BTC's pace. If not, the bagholders will have to accept defeat.

MSTR this routine is indeed brilliant, let's see if Bitcoin can be powerful enough --- Approaching $1000? This leverage game is quite aggressive... and risky too --- Once the arbitrage mechanism fails, it will be troublesome. How long this game can last is really uncertain --- Raising funds and buying BTC again, MSTR is playing the leverage game alone --- As long as it exceeds 11%, it's profit? Sounds good but it doesn't seem that simple... --- STRC is already at $100, this pace is a bit crazy --- Is the real nightmare that Bitcoin can't keep up with MSTR's growth? --- $100 million financing wave, is there another round coming this time?

MSTR's move this time is really brilliant, it's playing with fire... A dividend yield of over 11% can earn you passive income, sounds great but what if it can't keep up with Bitcoin's price increase? When the arbitrage mechanism fails, holders will suffer huge losses.

I just want to see when MSTR crashes; this leverage game won't last long, right?

MSTR this play is a bit ruthless, is it betting that BTC's growth rate is faster than the stock price? --- $100 approaching... feels like this round of financing is going to bleed again --- Basically, I'm just worried that MSTR will drop the ball, and arbitrage will fail --- Leverage game, exciting, but the risk is really not small --- As long as BTC doesn't underperform, it's profitable. The question is, how long can it last? --- This routine is repeated, how long can it remain effective? --- ATM, another round? Feels like trust has already been exhausted --- Looks simple, but it's really just a matter of time
