#比特币持有 Seeing MSTR fall from $457 to where it is now, I feel a mix of emotions. After more than ten years of investing, I've seen too many seemingly perfect stories collapse in reality. Saylor's "sell stock buy coin" flywheel was once so glamorous—stock price rising, premium expanding, issuance of new shares, buying more BTC, and then pushing the stock price higher. This logic did indeed outperform the market in 2023, but we all should know that there is no perpetual motion machine.

The current situation is very clear: BTC has fallen by 31%, while MSTR has dropped by 50%. This is not just a simple matter of leverage magnification; rather, the entire underlying logic is starting to self-deny. When the mNAV drops from a comfortable premium to the awkward position of 1.15, and the annual dividend burden expands to 750-800 million USD, while the traditional software business only generates just over 100 million USD in revenue per year, this arithmetic problem becomes completely unsolvable.

The irony is that now, with the spot ETF, retail investors can buy BTC directly, yet they still have to bear the debt risk of MSTR, dilution risk, and the burden of those convertible bonds. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't add up. I've seen too many stories of leverage in history that ended in tragedy — the problem has never been how strong the original intention was, but rather how cruel reality can be.

The $1.4 billion cash reserve may withstand this year's dividend pressure, but this essentially acknowledges the failure of the flywheel. The most realistic three paths ahead all carry a flavor of despair: either shrink in scale and accept long-term discounted trading, gamble on a macro liquidity miracle, or rely on STRC to attract retail funds deeply trapped in a debt swamp. History tells me that such moments often do not have a perfect solution, only worse or less bad choices. The value logic of Bitcoin itself has not changed, but perhaps the era of leveraging stories really should come to an end.
