Why didn't we just raise the $STRC dividend above 12%? Past a certain point, a higher rate stops adding demand. It can look like distress and push buyers away from the whole complex. So we leaned on other tools.

1/ On December 16, 2025, S&P affirmed @Strategy’s B− / Stable rating. Its upside scenario highlighted USD liquidity well above 12 months of payments, less convertible debt, and strong capital access through bitcoin stress. Here’s what has changed.

Bitcoin treasury leadership isn’t built overnight. $MSTR
Our corporate objective is for $STRC to trade over time at $99-$100. However, it can outperform money markets even with a below-par exit. This sensitivity shows annualized after-tax returns across 6-, 9- and 12-month holding periods.

Price to Book (P/B) of any equity trades >1x when the expected Return on Equity (ROE) is greater than the Cost of Equity. The ROE of Bitcoin Treasury Companies can be greater than $BTC ARR, if the cost of leverage is lower than $BTC ARR. This is how leverage works for purchasing any asset. GBTC had no ability to take on leverage. It didn't have optionality with its capital structure or operations. Plus, it had a drag from its management fees.

@parkeralewis I agree with your math, but I think its incomplete without a sensitivity analysis. Common stock investors expect $BTC appreciation to exceed the cost of preferreds, which causes NAV/share to outperform $BTC over time. The premium reflects those future expectations.
