Is Strategy trying to engineer its way out of a problem it can't control?
$STRC buybacks. Billions in USD reserves. Upcoming daily dividends.
Yet $STRC still struggles to hold par.
@_Adrian brings the data, and his findings challenge much of the conventional wisdom surrounding Digital Credit.
But here's the twist:
Despite questioning Strategy's recent financial engineering, he's extremely bullish on the long-term future of $MSTR.
Critical of the execution. Bullish on the vision.
A fantastic deep dive with Adrian. Don't miss this one. 👇

Did Strategy spend over $1 BILLION on $STRC buybacks… for virtually no measurable impact on price?
@_Adrian from @TNorth is back, challenging some of the biggest narratives in Bitcoin Treasuries and Digital Credit.
And his research raises some uncomfortable questions.
We went deep into:
→ $STRC buybacks: Why their impact on price becomes statistically indistinguishable from zero once other market factors are accounted for.
→ Daily dividends: Is Strategy $MSTR overengineering $STRC without addressing what actually drives its price?
→ USD reserves: Does holding billions in cash really make Digital Credit safer, or are we seeing diminishing returns?
→ Strive $ASST: Are $SATA's investor protections and disciplined USD reserve strategy really giving it an edge over $STRC?
→ $STRC vs. $SATA: Why Bitcoin, parent equities, and the broader Digital Credit market are the real drivers of price action.
→ Market intervention: Are Strategy's buybacks signaling weakness rather than strength to the market?
→ Bitcoin Treasury KPIs: Why BTC Yield, amplification ratios, and Bitcoin per share don't necessarily translate into investor returns.
→ The future of $MSTR: Why the common equity ATM could remain Strategy's most powerful capital-raising engine.
But here's what makes this conversation particularly interesting.
Despite being critical of Strategy's recent financial engineering, Adrian remains extremely bullish on its long-term future.
One of our most analytically rigorous deep dives into Bitcoin Treasuries and Digital Credit yet.
