Buy MSTR as author updates prior concern — Strategy's willingness to monetize BTC to service STRC dividends validates the financing model, proving collateral is real and financeable rather than theoretical, which de-risks the balance sheet leverage thesis.

Short/avoid STRC because the marginal buyer is an opportunistic distressed fund requiring 30%+ IRR — not a HY fund — implying fair value near $38, well below current levels; the security is subordinated, has no lender protections, non-cumulative dividends, single-asset volatile collateral, negative convexity, and no enforcement rights.

Short VVV — as a utility token with no equity or debt standing, VVV holders face near-total loss in any bankruptcy scenario, as established by the Giga Watt/WTT precedent where "compute usage" token holders recovered nothing; the "utility" framing provides zero legal protection.

Buy STRC at $50 after a dividend cut; author agrees the buyback is accretive to MSTR shareholders but sets a lower entry price and dividend cut as preconditions before acting.

Short MSTR common as the original Bitcoin-treasury playbook exhausts itself; mNAV going negative stops new equity issuance, preferred dividend suspension looms, and multiple dilution vectors (equity issuance, convert satisfaction, preferred overhang) structurally impair the common ahead of June 2028 put-right trigger.

Buy GLND as an asymmetric bet on Greenland oil exploration with a 13B barrel target, low capital at risk ($60M), and potential for 10-30%+ portfolio return if successful.

Buy DXYZ/VCX at current market prices vs estimated NAVs; expect convergence as litigation/forced settlement delivers underlying shares or cash payouts, creating a low-risk arbitrage.
