🔥WHY STRATEGY’S Q2 EARNINGS CALL WILL SHATTER THE WORLD🔥

Do NOT get distracted by measly price action.

This is the beginning of a stream of events that will usher in STRATEGY'S APEX AGE.

Let's unpack it👇Image
1) The Setup

Tonight, July 31, 2025 after the close, Strategy (MSTR) reports Q2.

This is the quarter where new accounting lets every dollar of Bitcoin’s mark-to-market flow through GAAP earnings.

That is the catalyst.
2) The rule that changed everything

FASB’s ASU 2023-08 forces companies to measure in-scope crypto at fair value each quarter, with changes recognized in net income.

Strategy adopted it on January 1, 2025, and recorded a massive cumulative adjustment to retained earnings at adoption.

This is why earnings now mirror Bitcoin.

🧵BITCOIN'S FINAL ATTACK

Corporate adoption of Bitcoin is the FINAL SPECULATIVE ATTACK on fiat currency.

Let me explain the game theory that every CFO will eventually realize… 👇Image
A speculative attack is when actors borrow a weaker currency, buy a stronger one, and let the inflation destroy the debt.

It’s what George Soros did to the Bank of England in 1992.

But now?

It’s not hedge funds attacking nations.

It’s public companies attacking fiat itself.
Bitcoin Treasury Companies are the new speculators.

Except instead of shorting fiat directly, they weaponize capital markets:

• Raise dollars
• Buy BTC
• Wait for fiat to bleed out

They arbitrage trust, time, and energy across balance sheets.

It’s beautiful.

🧵BITCOIN KILLED REAL ESTATE

NOBODY takes real estate SERIOUSLY anymore.

You get a 30‑year relationship with a bank, a city that taxes you forever, and a roof that ages like milk.

Bitcoin only gave you roughly 70–80% annualized over the past decade while doing nothing in your garage.

Let's break it down 👇Image
Returns:

U.S. home prices compounded about 6–8% a year long run.

Bitcoin did many multiples of that. If you started in 2015, housing roughly doubled, Bitcoin went four digits.

The spreadsheet does not care about your granite countertops.
Friction:

To buy or sell a house you pay 5–10% in total transaction costs.

Agent fees, title, transfer taxes, lender junk, inspection, appraisal.

Bitcoin settles globally in minutes for a few bucks.

Please tell me more about “efficient” markets.

🧵The Great Repricing: How Bitcoin Warps the Value of Everything

Bitcoin is the first moral technology.

It doesn't just change what we buy... it transforms what we become.

Every sat stacked is a vote against the debasement of the human spirit.

This is the story of how sound money resurrects the sacred 👇Image
For fifty years, fiat currency has been the greatest psychological operation in human history.

It convinced us that:

Debt was wealth
Speculation was investment
Consumption was patriotic
Savings were foolish

It didn't just debase our money. It debased our souls.
Fiat inflated the cost of virtue while subsidizing vice.

Want to be a present father?

Sorry, inflation demands you work three jobs.

Want to save for the future?

Sorry, your purchasing power evaporates 7% annually.

Want to live with integrity?

Sorry, the liars get bailouts.

This wasn't coincidence. This was design.

🧵Bitcoin vs. Your 401(k) | A Capital Strategy Deathmatch

Let’s compare the retirement plan they want you to trust vs. the one they hope you never understand.

401k vs. BTC.

Set it and forget it... or opt out and get free. 👇Image
1. Target Date Funds are the fiat system’s most elegant behavioral sedative.

You're auto-enrolled.

You never question it.

You just “stay the course.”

Meanwhile, your capital is bleeding fees, taxes, and real purchasing power for decades.

They call it “diversified.”

I call it tranquilized.
2. Bitcoin is violently honest.

No HR portal. No custodian.

No “glide path.”

It offers one thing: Freedom.

And demands one thing: Conviction.

It doesn’t coddle you.

It doesn’t sedate you.

It dares you to wake up.

🚨STRATEGY ANNOUNCES $STRC (STRETCH)🚨

You're about to understand a financial engineering move so insane, it makes traditional equity look like Monopoly money.👇Image
$STRC is Strategy's Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock.

It’s not equity.

It’s not debt.

It’s a new financial lifeform. Optimized to do one thing:

Convert fiat into Bitcoin at velocity.
$STRC pays a variable monthly dividend - starting at 9% per annum - compounded if unpaid, and paid in cash.

But here’s the kicker:

Strategy can tweak the rate each month to keep $STRC trading near $100 par like a synthetic stablecoin with yield.

You're not buying stock.

You're buying a yield-targeted Bitcoin conduit.
