Probably much lower due to how long he's gotten away with this. I think his bigger problem is if normal debt markets pull the plug on him or jack up his borrowing costs significantly, and only leave him with BTC as an asset to generate revenue from.

Which while hilarious, would probably be unfortunate for us given how much the AI trade is the crypto trade and as we learned last week, is also the precious metals trade. It's all just one big degenerate rotation trade around whatever has momentum.

This matters because Michael Saylor is a lunatic and Microstrategy owns a ton of BTC, 713,502 of them to be exact, and if they ever become forced sellers for whatever reason, they can annihilate the crypto market.

Gold line - BTC
Blue line - MSTR
MSTR is not just supposed to track BTC, but trade above it with a premium that creates (created?) a flywheel effect where Saylor can keep folding BTC and MSTR profits into the company.
Now MSTR is underperforming BTC and the flywheel don't fly anymore.

Bitcoin falling again, now it's under Michael Saylor's average price. Microstrategy's entire strategy is in the red.

It’s amazing to me that a regular thing happening these days with pathetic guys who can’t get laid is for them to alert the media about it.

There's a kind of highly rational liberal reader who gets infuriated by my UFO writing where I largely refuse to say anything conclusive. There's something about that worldview that just can't take uncertainty for an answer.

Every time I write about UFOs some nice liberal without a security clearance comes out of the woodwork to tell me how my source with a security clearance has no idea what they're talking about.
I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded
as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

And while gold is selling off hard, so far, the price range where the US wasn't actively trying to take Greenland from NATO and where Japan didn't publicly announce a plan to blow out its deficit even more is a buy zone for the market.

Not sure it's a good thing that the Japanese 40-year has 4% in range and the US 30-year can see the TACO Trump number of 5% over the horizon

I feel like trump voters are beginning to realize there isn't some grand ending here. It's just national suicide and not everyone is down with that
Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.
And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.
This is digging deep into Trump's base.
We detail these numbers on today's pod:

Someone paying $55k for dinner with Bari Weiss is one of the clearest examples of how taxes on the wealthy are criminally low
Bari Weiss attended a fundraiser last night in NYC, attendee tells me. There was an auction item for dinner with her and wife Nellie Bowles. Several people cheered in approval, many others said after how gross it was. Bari shouted out “And you can make out with Nellie!” It ultimately sold for $55k.
