Ethereum and Bitcoin and crypto prices have fallen sharply in the past 10 days

- $ETH down -40% and Bitcoin -30%
- crypto sentiment is reflexive
- so there is a lot of “rage quitting”
- and many pundits citing problematic structural and unfixablr reasons for the decline

To me, this type of volatility and drawdown seen in 2026 is very much what happens in crypto

There are 3 reasons the company needs to increase authorized shares, but one is the most important:

- enable selective ATM, capital raises
- opportunistic deals (mergers, etc)
- accommodate future share splits <—KEY

The last point is key🔑

Any time a company splits shares, total authorized needs to be high enough to accommodate

Our take on SEC's Project Crypto and ETH impact:

$ETH ethereum outperforming the crypto since early April. Below shows ETH/BTC ratio and we can see the sustained rise

...fueling this is Wall Street running towards ETH as stablecoins created the "chatGPT" moment

CASE STUDY: $MSTR created the template for crypto treasury.

- since 2020 start of $BTC strategy, @MicroStrategy
- stock gain from $13 to $455

QUESTION?
How much is due to BTC rise vs treasury strategy
$BMNR @BitMNRImage 2/
Of the 35X rise in $MSTR price:

- 11X due to $BTC Bitcoin rising from $11k to $118k
- 25X due to Treasury strategy
- aka increase in BTC per share

Treasury strategy far more significant than token price gain

Stablecoins are a good business model and attracted the interest of banks $JPM $V and even merchants $AMZN $WMT

- issuers of stablecoins generate significant profits as the collateral (USD) can earn yield and this is not paid to holders of the stablecoin (yet)

P/E is ratio between:

Each of these has an entire field devoted to each:

Update on our upgrade of Regional Banks "tactical buy" which we initiated on 5/7

- rationale on 5/7 was failure of $FRC created "temporary Fed put" for regional banks

- #Fed then paused

Technical picture for $KRE regional banks has since strengthened sharply

On why this plunge in #FINRA margin debt matters more you one realizes
👇

- margin debt tanked -35% off peak and -$330 billion
- greater than GFC peak to trough
- and 1.59% (% market cap) lowest since dot-com low 2/

2023 equity market has been a game of “inches” but bullish case has gained #anygivensunday

- this week’s soft side inflation readings strengthened case for #Fed pause

- and a “pause” reduces risk of a hard landing

So that’s a good thing

Equity markets remain on a ‘hair trigger’ and today’s wobble probably due to $FRC and regional bank model concerns

👀 on #Fed FOMC 5/3-5/4

- we still expect a ‘dovish’ +25bp
- regional softness one factor
- other is lots of disinflation in pipeline 2/7

Case-Shiller showed upside surprise on price (MoM) but arguably as important is home prices went to ZERO YoY

- zero price inflation on homes
- @Redfin rent yoy negative
- Yet, #CPI showing 8.6% yoy gains for housing

CPI lagging real-time measures = disinflation in pipeline Image

For 2023, pundits all reading off same menu:

- Fed gonna crush every rally until job market cracks + EPS going to fall in ‘23

Did the #ransomware attack at @HaverAnalytics result in an inadvertent #FOMC projection error?
🧵

1/5

#FOMC presser (12/14) contained a statement by #Powell that seemed at odds with incoming data

- #Powell said “we’re going into next year with higher inflation” vs Sept FOMC 2/5

As their SEP (survey of economic projections) shows:

- ‘22 raised 4.8% vs 4.5%
- this raised 2023 inflation
- and added to “higher for longer”

While Fed chair #Powell was "hawkish" in FOMC presser, his statements revealed key factors to "dovish" path

- labor “I don’t see the case for real softening just yet.”
- inflation “we haven’t seen inflation coming down.”
- housing “still some significant increases coming”

1/10 Labor statement below:
- Powell says no sign softening
- yet today's jobs report shows unemployment rate rose +0.2% to 3.7%
- that is a sign of softening
