#内容挖矿升级 A research institution has recently focused on MicroStrategy's new thing called "Stretch"—a $3 billion debt instrument. Sounds pretty scary? But the design logic of this thing may be rewriting the rules of the game for institutions hoarding Bitcoin.

First, let’s talk about the core mechanism. Stretch can adjust the dividend rate every month, and it is currently 10.5%. The key point is that Strategy holds the adjustment power: it can cut up to 25 basis points each month. A little calculation makes it clear— even if the dividend rate is reduced to zero over the next three and a half years, the payment pressure will gradually decrease. What does this mean? The market’s biggest fear of "being forced to sell off to pay debts" will not happen at all.

Traditional collateralized lending has a fatal flaw: if the coin price falls below the liquidation line, you have to sell coins to make up for the collateral, and the more you sell, the more it falls, creating a spiral. Stretch directly bypasses this pitfall—its repayment obligation is completely unrelated to how much Bitcoin you hold. Saylor's move is ruthless: financing is financing, holding is holding, and the two lines do not interfere with each other.

Looking again at the resilience of the funding side. The dynamic adjustment of the dividend yield essentially installs a "shock absorber" for the company. When a bull market comes, they can distribute more; when a bear market hits hard, they can lower costs. No matter how the market fluctuates, the pressure of capital outflow remains controllable. This is simply a lifeline for listed companies - they can allocate Bitcoin assets without worrying about their financial reports being dragged down by volatility.

To put it broadly, the significance of this matter goes beyond a single company. When traditional enterprises realize that "this is a way to play," the threshold for Bitcoin as an asset allocation option for companies has lowered. There is no need to gamble on short-term fluctuations, no need to worry about being forced to liquidate, and risk management becomes operational—this is the real logic that attracts institutional funds to enter the market.

While the market is still jumping up and down on the K-line, some have already solved the long-term holding concerns through financial engineering. The Stretch case proves that embracing Bitcoin can be more proactive, and the key is to find the right tools.

This guy Seiler really understands financing, separating Holdings and debt repayment pressure, which is indeed ruthless. I almost forgot that this is a new trick of arbitrage, the Bear Market can still survive with interest rate cuts, there's something to it. Institutions have probably been keeping an eye on this for a long time, once the threshold is low, everyone comes to participate.

This move by Saylor is indeed brilliant. Finally, someone has separated Holdings and financing, so we no longer have to worry about the strange cycle of dumping to pay off debts when the coin price falls.

Wow, this guy Seler really knows how to play, separating financing and holdings is just amazing. To put it simply, it means not afraid of dumping, love it. Wait, is this thing really stable? I feel like there's a pitfall somewhere. Am I really about to buy the dip again? This is something, this is how institutions play the game. But if the dividend yield can drop to zero, what are investors thinking? Wait, isn't this just a way to offload the burden to the creditors? Hmm, I've made up my mind, I’ll use this trick next time. Honestly, I don't quite understand, but it sounds amazing. Oh my god, why didn't I think of playing like this before? How many suckers have to be played for suckers to come up with this system? Champion mentality, while others are still looking at Candlestick charts. Damn, I've missed another opportunity to get rich.

Saylor's financial engineering is indeed fierce, turning risk management into a work of art. The design by Stretch is fantastic; finally, someone has addressed the concerns of long-term coin hoarding. Simply put, it completely decouples financing and holdings, so there's no need to worry about being forced to dump when coin prices fall. Once traditional enterprises catch on, the threshold for BTC allocation will drop sharply. However, to be honest, this thing is not much use for retail investors; it still depends on how institutions play.

This set of combinations from Seller is indeed ruthless, separating financing and holdings, which just does not give the coin price fluctuation a chance to strangle it. Wait, can this logic also be applied to other targets? Why does it feel like financial engineering is becoming more and more absurd? Financing pressure sounds nice, but who will help these institutions bear the risk? To put it bluntly, it's still being shifted to the creditors. Another new trick for the pros to play people for suckers, while retail investors are still watching Candlestick charts, they are already playing financial magic. This logic of dynamic adjustment... is somewhat like a disguised interest rate cut but nominally still repaying debts? No wonder it's from that set on Wall Street.

This guy Sailer has really taken financial engineering to the next level, the design logic of Stretch is amazing... separating financing and Holdings directly breaks the deadlock of traditional lending.
