Michael Saylor's Infinite Money Glitch JUST Collapsed.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
What is going on with Bitcoin? Michael
Sailor's strategy, and is it true that
Stretch is offering you a 10% yield when
you invest in Michael Sailor's preferred
product? [music] In this video, I'm
going to break all of this down and
finally answer the question, is this a
giant Ponzi scheme? And when is the best
time to actually buy Bitcoin? Per my
opinion, # don't sue me, bro. Let's get
started. First, take a look at this.
This is a massive trend line that's been
going on since October of 2024 23
actually. In fact, this trend line has
been a strong trend line that really
started in January of 2023.
But it's not charted here by the
marketeer. They just started on October
of 23. And we can see this trend line is
just now starting to be broken, which
isn't great. And it's leading a lot of
people to wonder why. What's going on?
Well, if you look at the correlation
between Bitcoin, Oracle, and Nvidia,
it's actually quite uncanny that Nvidia,
Bitcoin, and Oracle have all been moving
down at the same rate, which somewhat
suggests that there's some sort of
coordination or at least connection
between risk assets and liquidity that's
available in the market. I mean, after
all, if we look at the acquisition of
Bitcoin by Michael Sailor, we could see
that the vast majority of Michael
Sailor's Bitcoin buying is upside down.
Okay. Well, that's at least for 2025.
Obviously, their average cost per
acquisition per Bitcoin is somewhere
around 75,000. And given that we sit at
about 86,000 right now, it means we're
technically positive on Bitcoin
acquisitions about 15% over the last 5
years or so, which yeah, leave something
to be desired. But that's okay. We know
what the strategy is. It is to sell
stock to buy Bitcoin. But what's odd is
the days that we are actually positive
on our Bitcoin acquisitions are these
dates right here. So if you look very
closely, you can see the only dates were
actually positive based on the average
price paid for Bitcoin are right here.
That would be March 17th, 24th, 31st,
and April 14th. The problem is two of
these dates were some of the smallest
acquisitions of Bitcoin with just 11
million acquired on March 17th and 286
million acquired on April 14th. Whereas,
when we look at some of the other
acquisitions that are going on, we could
see, well, we've got a billion dollars
on June 16th at 104,000, $2.4 billion
worth at 117,000,
almost a billion dollars worth both at
90 and 92,000. And it begs the question,
why does it seem like Michael Sailor is
always buying at the top of the market?
It's almost like he just doesn't have
enough liquidity unless
well, frankly, Bitcoin is going up.
That's when he seems to have more
ability to break the egg of Micro
Strategy stock to buy more Bitcoin. But
that creates an odd strategy because
that means you're buying small low, but
you're buying big high. That's seems
like the opposite of what we should be
doing. But part of that is possibly
because Michael Sailor kind of sets the
market. See, here's a chart showing you
the moving average of the price of
Bitcoin and Michael Sailor's purchases.
And you can see we're probably plus or
minus about zero on this chart. And in
the last quarter of 2025, almost every
single purchase we've made has been
above what Bitcoin is actually trading
for right now. And rightfully so. Some
people are starting to get kind of
pissed about this. They're like, "Yo,
like what are you doing?" In fact, if
you look at Michael Sailor's last post,
he says, "As of 5:03 this morning, and
since he's in Florida, presumably this
was about 8 a.m. on December 15th,
that's today, Monday morning, Strategy
acquired 10,000 Bitcoin for almost a
billion dollars at a cost of 92,000 per
Bitcoin." And you can see right here
we're at 86,000. So, you know what? What
happened? And if we go jump on over to
uh the price of Bitcoin and we go out to
the 1 hour chart, it certainly seems
like Michael Sailor kind of got had.
He's buying even bel he's buying on top
of this bump right here. So it seems
like he's buying more over here at the
top of these valleys suggesting that
he's not buying in valleys, he's buying
the peaks or potentially he is the peak.
See, it's possible that because he is
the largest supporting factor as crypto
quant tells us, well, frankly, crypto
treasury buying has kind of evaporated,
which kind of leaves Michael Sailor's
strategy to do all the heavy lift
lifting. In that case, is it possible
that Michael Sailor himself buying is
creating the very cliff that he is
creating his average upon? In other
words, he puts in his buy orders, pumps
the price to 94. Yeah, he got some at
91. He got some at 94 and he's averaging
92. Basically creating these shelves.
And as soon as his buying power goes
away, what happens? The whales use the
pump as exit liquidity. This begs the
question of is Michael Sailor's Bitcoin
yield strategy sustainable? In fact,
people seem to be getting pissed, at
least in the comments. You have second
time buying over 10k Bitcoin and the
price is still below 90K. Unbelievable.
Somebody else goes, "How TF is your
average always above the current market
price?" Well, part of that is possibly
because he is the only whale buying
right now, which again, is that because
of Bitcoin or is that because of a
sell-off uh due to a lack of liquidity
as a result of private credit wos
because of scammers like first brands
screwing the private credit market? So,
all of a sudden, the private credit
market is seizing up and now the banks
are seizing up lending to private credit
and as a result other companies are
trying to hedge their exposure to data
centers and AI. Oracle CDS's are
skyrocketing. Oracle bonds are falling
off a cliff and people are kind of like,
you know what, I'll hold on to my money
right now. You know, I'll just wait. And
maybe that's why these things are all
selling off together. Or who knows,
maybe people are trying to diversify
into other things. Like you could make
the argument that some people are going
to diversify into Stretch, which is one
of Michael Sailor's preferreds. But we
have to talk about that because there's
also the potential that is not what it
appears and that it's actually a really
big trap. Now, given that there are a
lot of tweets that Michael Sailor posts
in terms of when he's buying, it's
obvious that we know that we can pretty
easily chart when they're buying with
even the daily prices. See, that's what
I've done here is I've gone from this
moving average chart to these daily
price charts. And frankly, it just
doesn't look any better. The reality is
Michael Sailor either pays market value
or uninflated market value because he's
pushing the price of Bitcoin up himself,
leading to a negative Bitcoin yield. And
this is a fact. Now, I'll explain
Bitcoin yield in just a moment, but it's
worth pulling up the chart just so you
know that what I'm saying is not out of
thin air. Michael Sailor literally tells
you their Bitcoin yield has gone
negative on his own website. Here it is.
Yeartoate Bitcoin yield or sorry uh year
annual Bitcoin yield in 2024 74%. 2025
year to date it's under 25% in quarter
to date we have actually gone negative
on the Bitcoin yield. This could be a
problem but it could also just be a
symptom of the way that Michael Sailor
buys. See, because Michael Sailor props
up his own market value, he's pretty
much always buying at either market or
above market value. Now, if somebody
were buying at, let's say, a 20%
discount, like a Warren Buffett, who was
taught under the premise of Graham and
Dodsville, if you've ever read the
books, you know about Graham and
Dodsville, and you know that you
generally want to buy at a 20% below
market value price. And that would be
all of these green diamonds here. So if
you were buying with a 20% margin of
safety, you would be buying at all these
green dots rather or diamonds rather
than these red circles. But the problem
is there really isn't a wedge or
discount that you can get for Bitcoin
because it is a commodity. Every Bitcoin
is the same and yes, there is a limited
supply, but it's hard to argue that for
some reason Bitcoin should be selling at
a discount to its current fair market
value. Now, this is different than the
principle of real estate. And I'm not
trying to show real estate. I'm just
trying to make an example for you
because people hate real estate so much.
In fact, I would argue that 98% of you
watching this video hear the word real
ESTATE AND YOU'RE LIKE, [screaming]
"WHY WOULD I DEAL WITH TENANTS AND
TOILETS? WHY WOULD I DEAL WITH MOLD AND
WATER DAMAGE? Why do I want to DEAL WITH
THIS KIND OF CRAP?" I get it. It's a way
easier to transport your money and to
hodddle your money in Bitcoin and to
acquire Bitcoin because it doesn't take
any effort. You can do it at scale. Like
Warren Buffett himself says, real estate
is hard to do at scale. I mean, look at
this. Who wants to Who wants to buy
this? Look at the mold. Look at this
mold. Look at the damaged pipes and the
damaged drywall. The baseboards are
rotten away. This is disgusting. Who
wants to live in this? Who wants to buy
this? The answer is nobody. And uh well,
generally nobody. You have to have some
crazy balls to buy stuff like this. Now,
if you do buy stuff like that, you can
usually buy within what we call the
margin of safety or a wedge deal. And
that's what we're doing with our real
estate AI to try to educate people and
show people where they can get those
deals using our AI. But that's really a
topic for a different video. We just
raised a million dollars in the last
three business days just for that
startup. You can learn more about that
at houseack.com. But what we really need
to talk about are some of the facts
related to Bitcoin and STRC. So remember
Michael Sailor is buying essentially at
his own created market value. The
problem with this is we have now created
our first ever death cross on IBIT. Now
IBIT is a brand new Bitcoin ETF. I mean
relatively within the last few years. So
of course it's going to happen at some
point and it seems to be aligning with
the riskoff momentum we're seeing in
artificial intelligence. At the same
time of this negative price momentum, we
have had the most bearish start of a
having cycle since January of 2023.
Treasuries are no longer a reliable
support of demand. And a lot of people
right now were just waiting for frankly
a bailout from Donald Trump that we're
going to get some kind of strategic
reserve. And this is where the hope of
STRC comes in. People love the idea of
STRC, a essentially stock that offers
you approximately a 10% yield as a
perpetual. Now, this gets pretty
complicated pretty quickly, but it's
important to know just mechanically how
this works on a simplified manner. The
idea is that STRC should always be
trading for $100. And if it's ever
trading for under $100, it should be
offering a higher dividend yield to try
to encourage people to bid it up to
$100. So that way 10% is what you get
when you pay $100 per share. If you're
paying less than that, you might get a
higher dividend yield. If you're paying
more than that, you'll get a lower
dividend yield. And the theory is if the
market's always going to demand a 10%
dividend, then they'll sell it when it's
above 100 and they'll buy it when it's
below 100. The problem is we just had a
really big test of this perpetual. See,
this perpetual has only been around
since July 28th. So, this is a
relatively new security. We don't really
know how this is going to perform in a
recession or a market collapse or some
kind of poopy dupy. We don't know. The
best example we actually have is what
happened recently. Recently in the last
two weeks of November, 2 and a half
weeks of no November, we ended up seeing
the price of STRC
dep essentially from $100 all the way
down to 8970.
And the only reason we really started
stabilizing, even though we got back to
94, 95, the only reason we really held
on to even that was because Michael
Sailor ended up promising a Bitcoin cash
reserve to pay the dividends. It's not
really a Bitcoin cash reserve, it's a
USD cash reserve, right? So, Michael
Sailor announced the formation of a
$1.44 44 billion USD reserve to increase
how much cash they have available to pay
dividends on pers like STRC. And this
was a tool to try to prop up the value
because STRC just went through a pretty
serious DEG shock. And frankly, that
DPEG shock happened during the same time
that the NASDAQ 100 is, I mean, I hate
to say it, but barely off all-time
highs. If you look at the NASDAQ 100
right here, uh the proxy for it, the
triple Q's, we could see we got all the
way down to about 580 on the NASDAQ. And
if I divide 580 by all-time high here,
637, that's a decline of about 9%. 9%
isn't even a correction. It's certainly
not a bare market. So, we're down 9%
from all-time highs on the Q's. And
we're already seeing this nearly 11%
DPEG on STRC and this panic requiring uh
well, a 1.4 $4 billion cash reserve to
prop up STRC. Now, why would that be? I
mean, if it's as good as a banking
product, why would you have to prop it
up? I mean, after all, Michael Sailor
keeps comparing his products to banking
products. Says, "Imagine a bank powered
by Bitcoin." And then quote tweets, his
images going, "Look, STRC or Stretch
Your Income. Earn 10% or 10.5% dividends
paid out monthly." This is obviously an
annual yield paid out on a monthly basis
and it's predicated on the idea that in
his opinion stretch is safe. But we've
heard many times before people tell you
that your investment is safe and people
believe that their investment is safe.
But the question is is your investment
actually safe? And that's where I'm not
going to opine on this. I'm going to
give you just the facts directly from
the perspectus of STRC. Now, mind you,
Micro Strategy right now is selling for
a discount. We have a $47 billion market
cap company that has $57 billion of
Bitcoin. So, the fact is a lot of people
look at Micro Strategy and say, "Wow,
we've kind of gone like full circle over
here back to 2024 pricing. maybe even as
you know well yeah 24 pricing is is
about accurate you know is there a risk
that STRC could go down as well I mean
of course we have seen it go down before
but it's since come back to about 97 but
what does the perspectus actually tell
us about STRC okay well let's get into
the actual details of it and then we'll
explain why Bitcoin's yield is
evaporating okay so the first thing that
you have to understand is the following
although STRC C is senior to our class A
common stock. Class B common stock, 8%
series A perpetual strike stock. Uh,
okay. This is basically a breakdown of
what you're senior or junior to, right?
Gives you a breakdown here. Now, I'm
going to translate this in English. In
English, my little translation down
here. Mind you, you could get this
totally for free in the Meet Kevin app.
Like, I know this is a this is going to
be a little hard to follow. I want you
to know this. If you are investing in
this, I'm not trying to sell you
anything. If you want these exact notes
here, you could get these notes
literally for free. All you do is you
download the Meet Kevin app and you can
see these notes and if you scroll to the
bottom, you'll actually see the very PDF
that I have annotated. You'll see that
right here. So, we'll talk about this
Bitcoin yield going down, but you'll
also see this link right there. Full
STRC perspectus with Kevin annotations.
Just download the Me Kevin app. You get
that for free. Okay. So let's explain
this. STRC is junior to our liabilities
of our subsidiaries and STRF.
Okay, got it. And we're senior to class
A, B, uh, STRK and STRD. These are
different instruments or securities,
right? Okay, got it. So let's try to
organize this. What we know is we are
junior to micro strategy debt and to
strife debt. Got it? So, let's see how
much that debt is as of this July 29th
filing. Okay. Well, here it is. And this
is all their documentation. This is not
me saying it. I'm translating exactly
what they're saying in simpler ways. As
of July 29th, excluding intercomp
indebtedness, we had approximately 8.24
billion in aggregate debt outstanding at
Micro Strategy. Okay. So at strike you
are behind 8.24 billion in debt. So 8.24
billion in debt has to get paid before
liquidation. Now obviously they owe more
they have more Bitcoin than that. So
maybe it's not a problem as long as
Bitcoin's valuation stays positive,
right? Because if they had to start
liquidating Bitcoin, there's always the
concern that there'd be some kind of
cascade effect to the price of Bitcoin.
So Strike doesn't get paid out in a
liquidation unless that 8.24 24 billion
is paid out. Now, they also need to see
the strife money paid out, which is
about $1.1 billion. So, in total, you
need about $9.3 billion of debt to be
paid out before a single dime of
liquidation money will ever go to a
stretch shareholder. Now, that's very
important to know because if on one hand
you're calling this a bank and then
you're saying, "Yeah, hey, you guys are
part of a bank that has a $488 million
market cap." Uh, just know you're behind
everybody in line to the tune of $9, you
know, $3 billion. You should be aware of
that. Again, here is STRC right here on
Weeble. Market cap $488.5 million. Okay?
and we are behind all of that debt. So
basically, if you're buying STRC,
you're basically guaranteeing Michael
Sailor's debt at Micro Strategy in STRC
because you're taking it in the face
first before Michael Sailor does at his
main source of income. So STRC feels
like you're getting a big yield, but in
part that's because you're agreeing to
take on the big risk first at STRC. Now,
Michael Sailor goes on to say that,
well, STRC is actually tax preferred.
You know, we have these really clutch
tax strategies to make it so that you
don't have to pay, you know, income
taxes on these yields, right? Here's how
that works. STRC is giving you a return
of your capital. He's paying you back
your investment money. When you return
capital contributions that people have
made to your company back to them, the
government doesn't tax that because
people already t paid taxes on the money
they invested with you. So, of course,
you're not paying taxes because you're
just getting your very own money back.
So that means the money that is going
into STRC that is being paid out tax
preferred because the company doesn't
make any money is just paying back the
very money that investors are putting
into the company. Now some say there's a
word for this, you know, like you're
paying out yield based on money that
people are putting into the company, not
on actual earnings of the company. and
then you're disguising it as tax
preferred because well you're just
giving people their very own money back
and calling it a banking yield
effectively. He's implying it's a
banking yield. Some people say there's a
word for that. I can't get it to the top
of my head right now. So we'll have to
circle back on that one. But anyway,
let's go back to these disclosures here
because if we look at the disclosures,
we also get this note right here. If we
liquidate, dissolve or wind up, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, then our
assets will be available to distribute
to our equity holders. Only if all of
our thenexisting indebtedness is paid in
full first. And remember, you come after
MSTR and STRF.
So, let that sink in for a moment.
They're bluntly telling you in the
documents, thank you for guaranteeing
our debt over at MSTR and STRF.
That's how you're getting your 10% yield
is you are going behind all of those
folks. Okay, fine. Now, what else? Is it
possible that for some reason this
listing could just like disappear and
not actually be tradable? Cuz like if it
goes down, I could just sell it, right?
[snorts] Not necessarily for two
reasons. See, a liquid market for STRC
may not be maintained and its listing
may be subsequently withdrawn.
Accordingly, you may not be able to sell
your STRC at the times you wish to or at
favorable prices, if at all. In other
words, you might never be able to sell
STRC. But, but but but Kevin, but Kevin,
I shouldn't have written this on here. I
apologize. This was an opinion when I
wrote it. It's still an opinion. Okay, I
shouldn't have used this word. It's very
harsh. I should have changed it even
before making this video. But under
liquidation preference, the company
writes that the liquidation preference
is stated at $100 per share. However,
the liquidation preference is subject to
any adjustment that they want to make.
They say they're not going to adjust it
below $100, which sounds good, but any
kind of liquidation preference is
subject to their solvency. I shouldn't
use the word scam. It's really a trap.
Okay, it basically means sure, you have
a liquidation preference at $100 per
share should they have to liquidate
these shares. As long as we've paid off
all of the debt at Micro Strategy and at
STRF first, only then will we liquidate
your shares at $100 per share. And I
suppose if you have to sell it for less,
you know, we won't force you to, but you
might have to sell it for less or we'll
just delist it. Then too bad, too sad
we've disclosed that away. Now, you
know, then people say, "Okay, well, what
if STRC goes up?" Like, at least I could
make money if STRC goes up over $100,
right?
H not necessarily. Your investment in
STRC may be harmed if we redeem STRC. If
we elect to redeem STRC stock, the
redemption price per share of STRC that
we redeem may be less than the price per
share of STRC stock that you receive or
would receive upon the sale of STR stock
in the open market. Now, my translation
of this is if for some reason this like
moonshots and goes to $130, they could
just redeem it all at a lower price than
what the actual market price is trading
for and give you less money than you
thought you actually had in your
portfolio. So, basically, the way this
works is simple. If Bitcoin goes down in
a crash and you try to liquidate at
$100, there might be nobody there to buy
it for you, especially if they need to
break the piggy bank of this stock to
support the, how should I put it, debt
at other companies. Now, I'm not saying
this is big, you know, banking fraud,
but I will say some people argue that
this, you know, arguing stretch is a
high yield savings account. certainly
sounds like it's running a foul of
banking fraud because even fintexs that
offer you, you know, a 3 or 4% yield on
deposits, they're not even call able to
call themselves a bank because they're
not member of FDIC and Stretch certainly
isn't. But hey, I'm not making those
allegations. I'm just saying that's what
some people say. You know, everybody do
your own due diligence. You call it what
you want. But let's understand this for
a moment. Why has Bitcoin's uh or Micro
Strategies yield collapsed and how does
this work anyway? Okay, so how does
Bitcoin yield work? Bitcoin yield works
and it's positive when Bitcoin is going
up more than the gains that uh well more
in gains compared to how much stock
you're having to sell. So, for example,
if you sell $200,000 of stock to buy
$100,000 of Bitcoin, you're getting two
times as much Bitcoin compared to the
stock you're selling cuz the company's
selling for a premium, that's fantastic.
It basically means you're able to
acquire more Bitcoin. And then if on top
of that, Bitcoin's price skyrockets, the
return that shareholders get for that
dilution seems good. And of course, that
works in a rising market. But in a
falling market, that Bitcoin yield isn't
a wind at your back. It is actually
negative. And that's why in part, Micro
Strategy is right now selling for less
than the value of the Bitcoin they have.
They hold about 57 billion in Bitcoin.
They've got a $46.5 billion market cap.
Now, does this mean Micro Strategy is a
buy the dip? Not necessarily. because we
know that Micro Strategy is going to
keep issuing shares and diluting
shareholders to support paying dividends
on the pering
Bitcoin at frankly at or above market
value. Remember, he is doing the
anti-wedge. And again, I'm not like,
trust me, I'm not delusional enough to
think that people who watch a Bitcoin
video are going to diversify into real
estate. If you wanted to, you could read
the offering circular over at
houseack.com. But like that's I'm just
comp I'm just saying the reason I think
we can get a discount on real estate is
because it's a pain in the freaking ass.
It is I shouldn't say that. It's a bad
word. Don't use bad words. It's a pain
in the butt to negotiate deals and go to
the properties and renovate the
properties and work with the vendors. So
we kind of earn some of that return,
right? But that gives us insulation and
protection. If I buy a $500,000 house
for a 20% discount and the market value
drops 20%. I'm still break even or up in
that case depending on the improvements
that I made. That's the benefit of
buying at a discount. The opposite is
what happens here. And that's why any
falling market, whether it's because of
AI or, you know, the uh who cares data
center boom that's kind of busting right
now or whatever, unfortunately, Micro
Strategy ends up falling and then you
end up getting a negative Bitcoin yield
because you're issuing shares faster
than you are able to buy Bitcoin, hence
creating a negative yield. So, what is,
as my promised at the beginning of the
video, the best time to buy Bitcoin in
my opinion? And this is not to be a
Bitcoin bear because that's not what I'm
making this video for. I believe that
the best time to buy Bitcoin is
when Michael Sailor goes bankrupt. I
think when you don't have somebody who's
propping up the value of Bitcoin as much
as Michael Sailor is, that is the day
you will actually get not only true
price discovery for Bitcoin, but you'll
probably have so much freaking fear in
the market that Bitcoin will be dirt
cheap because Bitcoin, well, I'll put it
this way. Michael Sailor having to
liquidate and leave the market along
with potentially other treasury
companies will create so much sadness
and fear selling. That's probably when
you'll hit rock bottom. [music] Anyway,
