Ideas

Bitcoin will rise in next cycle.
Bitcoin price will rise in the next bull cycle as fiat currency expands infinitely, making scarce assets more valuable. The current macro environment is not positive, but overvalued AI and defense stocks are rotating money into Bitcoin, providing buying opportunities during this temporary downturn.

MSTR leads with largest Bitcoin holdings.
Strategy (MSTR) holds the most Bitcoin among all treasury companies and will attract the most capital when the Bitcoin bull market returns. The market is overly fearful about its NAV dipping below 1, but the company has improved its capital structure by issuing perpetual preferred stock to reduce duration risk, making it the clear leader.

Metaplanet has ideal Bitcoin treasury model.
Metaplanet is second in Bitcoin holdings and has acquired a securities firm, creating a perfect business model to generate fee revenue from products like ETFs and offer Bitcoin-linked tokens. This cash-flow engine makes it a strong contender for the next bull market.
