🧵BITCOIN TORQUE: THE ULTIMATE METAPLANET BULL CASE

None of you are ready for the next decade of Metaplanet.

This is the GREATEST INVESTMENT I have ever come across👇Image
Alright, kids. STRAP IN.

Time for some quick education before you see the numbers that BREAK your BRAIN:

What “BTC Torque” means:

BTC Torque = BTC $ Value ÷ BTC Capital

Bitcoin Torque is the return on invested capital (ROIC) for a Bitcoin treasury.

Higher torque means every dollar raised to buy BTC produces many more dollars of BTC value over time.Image
Related info before your brain breaks:

BTC $ Value = BTC $ Gain + BTC $ Income.

BTC $ Income is the UNREALIZED gain on the specific BTC financed, minus financing costs, multiplied by an efficiency factor.

mNAV = Enterprise Value ÷ BTC NAV. This is the “premium to NAV.” Image
WHAT THE SENSITIVITY TABLES ARE SAYING:

With common stock funding, torque only rises when the equity trades at a premium.

At a 30% Bitcoin ARR over the next 10 years, examples below show torque stepping high at very high mNAV setups.

Translation: common stock issuance is very accretive only when the premium is already rich.Image
The story is different for the incoming preferred stock:

With a fixed dividend assumption of 5% and a 10-year horizon, torque is mNAV agnostic.

At 30% Bitcoin ARR (conservative IMHO) - there is a 13.3x torque on $100m of preferreds regardless of the mNAV.

All the values are the same regardless of mNAV level.

Massive torque potential on ALL preferred offerings, without worrying about current valuation of the common stock!Image
Example of a DOLLAR result:

A 10-year, 30% BTC ARR scenario on $100m of preferred issuance produces $1.22 BILLION of BTC $ Income, and 13.3x torque.

Remember: TOTALLY INDEPENDENT OF mNAV.

By contrast, $100m raised via common delivers a wide range of outcomes that rely on sustaining a high valuation multiple.

Remember the, the issuance of $100m of preferreds is a FRACTION of the planned plan of $3.76 BILLION (¥555 billion).
Why this is INCREDIBLY BULLISH for Metaplanet over the next decade:

1. PREMIUM AGNOSTIC COMPOUNDING

Preferreds clearly create high, repeatable torque without needing the fat equity premium.

This means the treasury can compound through bullish, neutral, or corrective equity tape, rather than waiting for windows of high mNAV to issue stock.

This keeps BTC per share and BTC $ Value compounding on schedule.Image
2. Japan's Cost of Capital Advantage

Japan has the lowest long bond yields in the G7.

A lower domestic yield base means preferred dividends can be set at attractive coupons for investors while remaining far below expected multi-year BTC ARR.

This widens the spread that fuels BTC $ Income, which is the engine behind torque.Image
3. Metaplanet's risk discipline BAKES IN survivability.

Aggregate preferred issuance is capped at ≤25% of BTC Net Asset Value in the framework, and the deck shows coverage even under severe BTC drawdowns.

This reduces the probability that financing costs overwhelm BTC appreciation in bad years, so the 10-year math has more chances to play out.

Survivability is a torque multiplier.
4. The mNAV now has DEFENSE.

Because preferreds are accretive regardless of mNAV, they defend the premium when it is soft, and when the premium is rich the company can opportunistically use common as well.

This two-engine approach reduces dependence on any single market condition and stabilizes the path to the 210k BTC aspiration.
5. Flywheel with BTC Income Generation

Preferred proceeds go to BTC purchases and to a recurring options premium business.

Those cash flows help support dividends and working capital, which sustains the preferred program, which finances more BTC, which enlarges BTC NAV, which deepens over-collateralization, which attracts more capital.

A reinforcing loop is exactly what a decade-long torque story needs.
6. THE GIGA-BULLISH MATH

The math points to OUTSIZED VALUE CREATION for shareholders.

If BTC’s ARR averages 20 to 40 percent, preferred-funded torque spans 5.7x to 28.4x.

Even at 10 percent ARR, torque is 2.1x.

Over a decade this stacks with BTC $ Income compounding...

Which quantifies in the hundreds of millions to billions per $100M tranche.

How many tranches will they be able to offer with fixed income products paying FOUR TIMES what Japanese government bonds do?Image
The Bottom Line:

BTC Torque reframes capital raising as a compounding engine rather than a one-off dilution event.

The preferred blueprint shifts success dependence away from fickle equity premiums and toward multi-year BTC appreciation and time in the market.

With permanent, low-cost capital in a low-yield jurisdiction, risk caps tied to BTC NAV, and explicit 10-year math that stays accretive across mNAV regimes...

The setup is structurally, RIDICULOUSLY bullish for Metaplanet through the next decade.

You are not prepared for a LEVERAGED BET on a CERTAINTY.

You know Bitcoin is inevitable.

Are you gonna place your bet with the team that knows this the most, in the best economic situation for arbitrage IN THE WORLD?

It's go time.

If you don't like the stock, check your pulse.Image

🧵HOW TO PRINT CASH WITH THE MSTR WHEEL STRATEGY

Turn MSTR's volatility into a MONEY PRINTER that pays YOU while you WAIT to buy it at a discount.

This isn't "passive income", this is PREDATORY FINANCE.

Let's go👇Image
Step 1: Sell a cash-secured put at a price you’d be THRILLED to own MSTR at.

Example: MSTR is $395, you sell the $370 strike.

The market is basically paying you a fat bribe to keep your buy limit order open.
You get paid upfront for agreeing to buy a company that:

Holds 628k BTC

Trades like a meth-addled tech stock

Is run by a man who treats capital markets like his personal arcade machine

🧵HOW BITCOIN KILLED COMMUNISM FOREVER

Communism didn’t “fall” in 1991.

It just moved into academia, HR departments, and every weird Twitter account with a Che Guevara avi.

The Cold War was the public funeral.

Bitcoin is the CREMATION👇Image
Communism is built on one thing: the state’s monopoly over money.

The ideology? Theater.

The speeches? Wallpaper.

The real machinery is the ability to print wealth out of nothing, seize it when you want, and force everyone to use your garbage currency.

Without that?

It’s just a book club with a body count.
USSR: Pegged the ruble to whatever fairy tale number the Politburo made up that morning.

Maoist China: Coupons to buy rice, meat, cloth - like a grocery store loyalty program run by a warlord.

Cuba: Dual-currency apartheid.

North Korea: 2009 currency “reform” that wiped everyone’s life savings overnight.

All of it?

One trick: chokehold the money.

🧵Real Estate Investing is DEAD and Inflation Killed It

Everyone says "Buy dirt, God stopped making it."

Cool story. The median American house gave you about 1% real per year after official CPI since the 1970s.

It gets worse. Read on to see why you should immediately sell your real estate and buy Bitcoin👇Image
Remember, that 1% return is before the toilet floods at 2:00 am and your cousin Kyle punches a hole in the drywall after 13 Busch Lights.

If "official" inflation has been understated by even 1–2 percentage points per year, the real return goes near zero or negative.

You did not build wealth, you held still while the treadmill sped up.

Your “equity” is a vibe until someone opens the CPI curtains.Image
I ran it across start dates: 1970, 1980, 2000, 2012.

Using official CPI, you get roughly +1.0% to +1.5% real CAGR.

Add +1 point to inflation, you are flat.

Add +2 points, you are underwater.

That warm feeling is the water line rising, not passive income.Image

🧵Bitcoin & The Metabolic Cost of Truth

Proof-of-work is the receipt for truth.

In an AI-saturated world, claims are cheap, copies are infinite, and persuasion can be automated.

A civilization that wants durable facts must attach a metabolic price to its past 👇Image
Bitcoin prints a line on reality’s invoice and pays it, publicly, every ten minutes.

Biology solved the same problem.

Life spends energy to maintain boundaries, to detect parasites, and to reject counterfeits.

Immunity is not a slogan, it is a budget.

Truth in human systems requires the same pattern, a steady expenditure that makes forgery expensive.

Remove the energy, lose the immune system, and parasites feast.
AI drives the marginal cost of fabrication toward zero.

A billion plausible images, voices, credentials, and arguments can be synthesized overnight.

Attention becomes the scarce resource that counterfeiters target.

Without an energy floor beneath claims, truth devolves into a contest of bots, and the most prolific fabricator wins.

🧵COVERED CALLS: THE KILLER INCOME STRATEGY FOR MSTR HOLDERS

Want your MSTR shares to pay your mortgage?

It's legal. It's easy.

Let's talk about selling covered calls 👇Image
The goal is simple:

Take the MSTR you already own

Rent it out to Wall Street degenerates

Collect premium every month like a mafia boss who loves Bitcoin

We’re not flipping NFTs here. This is a repeatable income machine.
What’s a Covered Call?

You own 100 shares.

You sell someone the right to buy them from you at a higher price, for a limited time.

They pay you upfront.

If they never use it? You keep the cash AND the shares.

If they do? You still keep the cash + profit from the sale.

🧵BITCOIN MAXIMALISM AND NIETZSCHE'S WILL TO POWER

The rise of Bitcoin maximalism is the purest expression of Nietzsche's "Will to Power" in the digital age.

Understanding this reveals why Bitcoin maximalism is INEVITABLE👇Image
Nietzsche argued that all life is driven by the fundamental force of "Wille zur Macht".

Not power over others, but the drive to overcome resistance, to create values, and to affirm one's own existence against entropy.

Bitcoin maximalism embodies this exact phenomenon.
Consider: Maximalists didn't choose Bitcoin because it was "safe" or "established."

They chose it precisely because it demanded the ultimate act of value creation - believing in a completely new form of money when the entire world said it was worthless.

This is Nietzschean self-overcoming incarnate.
