I am also waiting for someone to explain it coherently.

It essentially allows you to buy bitcoin at 3x the market price. (mstr market cap is about 3x the bitcoin it holds)

People seem to equate that as meaning that the future stock price will grow at a faster rate than the price of bitcoin, but that would require the premium to grow to an even larger factor than the current 3x. It also ignores the reality that a falling bitcoin price should completely wipe out the premium of stock price over net asset value (if we are to apply any common sense).

Of course I might be missing some great insight that makes it something other than a really stupid gamble.




So far all the explanations are yada yada yada magic.

Buy bitcoin. Buy a bitcoin etf. But don’t buy a wrapper on bitcoin at a premium to the underlying bitcoin. Eventually this collapses on itself.
