Dangerous Ruling for Crypto Treasury Companies like Microstrategy.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
So, crypto got whacked a bit today. Why?
Because of NASDAQ. NASDAQ lists the vast
majority of the treasury companies that
are trying to load up on various
different coins or tokens. The problem
is NASDAQ is questioning, hey, are
people aware of what they're getting
into with this? Keep in mind two days
ago I reported that this company alt
five which is ticker alt s probably is
going to head to zero. I'm not very
optimistic about it and I think it's
kind of setting up a bit of a scam. You
could watch my full video on it to see
why I think it is. And even though it's
got one of Trump's sons on the board, I
don't think investors in OldT S realize
that they're getting into a money losing
company that's about to pump liquidity
not for its own stock, but they're about
to issue a ton of stock to go buy WLFI,
the World Liberty Financial Token.
That's Trump's token. Basically, pump
the bags of people who gave Trump money
essentially. Now, here's the thing. Old
Five is uh that company. Old Five is
decaying. We already know this. After I
made my video, I mean, the day I made my
video, the stock went down like 27%.
Then it went down 19% yesterday. It's
down another 18% today. Yesterday
morning in our alpha report, which
remember, if you remember at meetke.com,
you get every single day. I literally
put a red alarm siren emoji and said,
"Get the hell out of this if you're in
it. It is going way down." Uh, and sure
enough, you know, after that alpha
report was down another 19% yesterday,
down 18% today. Why? It's because people
are being misled by what these companies
actually do. And that's why NASDAQ is
now stepping up scrutiny of these kinds
of plays. Now, keep in mind that Alt
Five is a special type of one where Alt
Five is, in my opinion, so wild that
they've always had a reputation of, I
hate to say it, failure. And I mean,
this comes straight from their annual
report on what they do as a business.
And basically, as a business, they just
fail. I really I hate to say it. We did
a whole video on this, but here's
literally a company that was a crypto
mining play in Canada and in October 30
on on Halloween of COVID. So during CO
and on Halloween, apparently there was a
severe storm that destroyed all of their
crypto mining and they had to close
their crypto mining business. This
comes, you know, sort of before they got
into recycling energy efficient
appliances
and then going into biotech for
painkillers and now apparently they're
exit liquidity for WLFI and they're a
revolutionary fintech now. Yeah. Like
that's that's what this company is. They
call themselves a financial services and
fintech holding company created by
financial industry specialists out of
the necessity to provide a digital asset
economy. Right? So NASDAQ is like, "Holy
smokes, people are literally using these
listed vehicles to basically go scam
people." And NASDAQ's like, "Dude,
that's going to make NASDAQ look bad.
NASDAQ doesn't want this crap. So, what
are they going to do? Well, NASDAQ is
now quote unquote stepping up scrutiny
of companies listed on the exchange that
are aiming to get a stock price boost by
raising money to buy and hoard crypto.
So, basically, they're going to
potentially require these companies to
get shareholder approval before issuing
new shares to buy crypto. Now, if you
actually look at the article, what's
remarkable is if you type in Trump, they
actually sh they talk about how Trump
uh where is it? Where is it? Where is
it? It's in here. They talk about Trump.
There it is. Nearly half of the 124
crypto stocks are buying smaller coins,
including Trump's World Liberty
Financial Tokens. And critics say these
deals could be a way for holders of the
coins to sell them to unsophisticated
stock market investors. Basically, let
me translate this to English to you.
Donnie T's son, like Eric, goes on Fox
News and says, "Hey, uh, you should
invest in Alt 5. It's on the stock
market. Just swipe up on Robin Hood.
It's real easy for you to invest in all
five. It's the greatest thing since
sliced bread, bro. And then people are,
"Oh, that's Fox News." Well, Fox News,
they're not just a shill for Trump. The
Okay. Well, if the president's son is on
Fox News talking about it, it must be
legitimate. Honey, why don't we throw
another thousand into alt five? Swipe
up. Oh, we did it. Oh, make America
great again. And then what happens? Old
Five goes, "Huh, look at all these saps
who just bought our stock. Great. We
could turn their money into liquidity
for all of the insiders who showed up at
Donald Trump's dinners and bought World
Liberty Financial Token because they're
connected to insiders because it wasn't
available to outsiders. And we're gonna
use grandma and grandpa's money that
they just bought on Robin Hood to go
bail out the rich friends of the Trump
family buying world liberty financial
token in the future when all this
goes to zero because that's all it is is
a pile of When it all goes to
zero, guess who's left holding the bag?
The Fox News watchers and the regular
Americans who are just trying to make a
buck when the insiders
get away with big profits. And NASDAQ
smells this from a mile away. And NASDAQ
is like, "Yo, yo, yo, yo, all right, all
right, hold on. Let's at least get
grandma and grandpa to vote to approve
this pile of flaming turd before we
let them go buy whatever freaking tokens
they want." NASDAQ wants companies to
slow down and make sure their investors
know what's going on before they turn
themselves into crypto stocks. because
it's a bad look. If a bunch of NASDAQ
companies go to zero, like all five,
because they're a scam, my opinion.
Don't sue me, bro. Uh, and I provided my
evidence as to why in my other video.
Maybe I'm wrong. I could be wrong. So,
go watch the other video and see the
evidence for yourself. But anyway, if
they go to zero, then NASDAQ looks bad.
And then people aren't going to want to
list on NASDAQ anymore because NASDAQ
ends up getting associated with being a
scam. Even though it's not NASDAQ's
fault, they're just, you know, a
provider basically of of a vehicle.
They're just a tool. Uh, you know, you
still have 94 of crypto buying stocks on
NASDAQ and only 17 on the NYSE.
We say NY in the industry.
Anyway, so uh this is
this is also obviously hitting, you
know, Michael Sailor's Micro Strategy,
uh because it could affect them. You
know, Micro Strategy is NASDAQ listed.
Uh pretty sure Bitmine is NASDAQ listed
as well. I'm pretty sure. I'm not sure
why I can't see the exp. Yeah. Oh, no.
They're on the American exchange. Oh,
that's interesting.
Oh, that's uh that's part of NY. But
anyway, uh that's interesting. So, um
but anyway, broadly, it's not uncommon
for you to see listing requirements at
NASDAQ also end up hitting NY because
both of them are going to be like,
"Yeah, no, we don't we don't want this."
NASDAQ just has a whole lot more of this
going on. So, of course, that's why
you're seeing some of the pain in some
of these treasury companies, but they're
also cautious because they don't really
want, you know, regular businesses like,
I don't know, I'll just make one up, a
distillery going in and saying, "Oh, all
of a sudden we're crypto treasury
company," which is actually exactly what
happened. So, if you jump into
uh that information article again, you
could see here heritage distilling, a
NASDAQ listed craft distillery offering
military themed whisies, is now going to
accumulate a random cryptocurrency
called IP, which implies intellectual
property. So, you know, these are not
what these companies disclosed to their
shareholders they were going to do. kind
of like like I look at this as you know
I mean obviously we do fundamental
analysis every day in the meet Kevin
membership which you know you already
know you could use code bullish catalyst
to join that and get lifetime access
>> but you know I I've been regularly asked
hey Kevin why doesn't house hack buy you
know crypto or or come up with some kind
of treasury strategy for buying uh uh
you know cryptocurrencies and my answer
is always the same my answer is I told
investors that we are a company that
helps people diversify to real estate
and we handle the tenants and toilets. I
have always said that we are not a
cryptocurrency company. If you want to
buy cryptocurrency, go buy
cryptocurrencies.
But I'm not going to take a real estate
company that we've raised, you know,
what $75 million for or whatever and
turn it into a crypto play because
that's not what I told investors we
would do. I told investors, we buy real
estate, we buy wedge deals, and we fix
them up and we rent them out. If we can
make money on them in the future by
strategically selling some of them,
maybe we'll do that. Otherwise, we'll
just buy and hodddle. And in the
meantime, we'll keep developing our AI
technology, which we expect to have a
limited beta for members uh in the
fourth quarter, which will be really
exciting for uh for AI and real estate.
You know, we're we're cranking. We've
had a breakthrough in our AI technology
at House Hack, which is really exciting
because we don't think that's built into
our valuation at all. But uh but that's
fine because, you know, who knows? Like
it it could go nowhere. Uh but maybe
when when we release it, people love it
the way we do and and maybe people pay
for it. We don't know. We can't know.
But anyway, uh to always invest in house
hack if you want house hack.com. Read
the disclosures offering circular
private placement memorandums. There's
risk with every investment. And um this
video is not a solicitation, but that
said, you know, I get it. I get why
NASDAQ is doing this because NASDAQ is
looking and saying, "Hey, we don't want
distilleries or real estate companies or
companies that said they're one thing
turning into crypto plays buying random
crypto tokens to provide liquidity to
potentially scams because then it's a
scam on a scam like old five." Again,
it's my opinion that this is just a
vehicle that exists to rip people off
and take money from the poor and give to
the rich. It's literally the
anti-roinhood to bail out Trump cronies.
That's what this is. And you've got uh
you you finally got the NASDAQ waking up
saying, you know what, we don't want to
do that. We don't want to be involved in
that. So, uh that's great. You know,
again, that's that is what is going to
end up hitting the Bitcoin accumulating
strategies like Micro Strategy because
it's going to make it a little harder
for them to raise money. There is also
the potential that if you do make it
harder, like if you go to Micro Michael
Sailor and you say, "Hey man, look, you
wanted to raise a billion dollars
roughly uh in your last fundraising
round, you guys only raised $4ome
million in your last fundra. So, your
last fundra sucked weenies. It was a bad
fund raise. Uh, which gives you less
liquidity to go shop for more Bitcoin,
which kills that circular momentum,
right? Because usually they raise a ton
of money, they go buy Bitcoin, then
Bitcoin goes up, Bitcoin goes up, then
they raise more money because Micro
Strategy goes up, but the buck is
starting to stop. People are stopping
investing money into these treasury
strategies. So you're seeing less
liquidity to go buy Bitcoin, which is
creating a little bit of a stall factor
right now. Now, some of that could be
macroeconomic, and I'm not saying that,
you know, Bitcoin is going to sell out.
This isn't a video being bearish on
Bitcoin. Just saying there's a bit of a
stall happening in fundraising
strategies for Micro Strategy. Well,
what do you think NASDAQ requiring
shareholders to vote to approve these
strategies is going to do? It's going to
make it even harder to conduct this
circular strategy of raise money by
liquidating the stock, buy the
cryptocurrency, raise money to liquidate
the stock, buy the cryptocurrency. And
the circ circular momentum that circular
momentum gets hit by regulation now
NASDAQ regulation because NASDAQ's
waking up going, "No, no, no, no, no,
no, no. We don't want grandma and
grandpa to keep getting scammed like by
alt s." I'm just saying that that's
that's all I'm saying. Again, I'm not
here to be bearish. You know, if you're
into Bitcoin or Ethereum, I don't give a
fly at hoodies. I like real estate. I
like houses. I like tenants and toilets.
I'm jumping up and down about the idea
of going to Lowe's to pick up the damn
paint that I just ordered through my
Lowe's 5% off Lowe's for Pros discount
program. And while I'm there, I'm going
to go pick up some angle valves for some
toilets. That's the kind of stuff that
get that gets me going. I'm wearing a
Luigi outfit today. He's a plumber.
Okay, I got my Luigi cup. I got my Luigi
mug. I'm ready for real estate. That's
what I do. But I also like to observe
what's going on in financials. And
what's going on in financials is a red
flag to these treasury accumulation
companies. And it could slow down the
cycle, especially if you root out the
scams, which you should because you're
ripping people off at companies like Old
Five. And if people vote to be ripped
off,
fine. Uh at least there's less liability
then for NASDAQ. But that's what's going
on. Uh and it is a risk for slowing down
these Treasury accumulation strategies.
>> Why not advertise these things that you
told us here? I feel like nobody else
knows about this.
>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes. Congratulations, man.
You have done so much. People love you.
People look up to you.
>> Kevin Papra there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to
get your take.
