Michael Saylor: Strategy and Strive, as Bitcoin treasury companies, are not in zero-sum competition and can jointly expand the digital credit market

Founder of Strategy Michael Saylor posted that he hopes Strive and all well-managed "Bitcoin-driven digital credit" issuers achieve success.Strategy is built on the same foundation as Strive: BTC belongs to digital capital, STRC and SATA belong to digital credit, and MSTR and ASST belong to digital equity. The securities structures and decisions of both parties are independent, although they will compete for individual capital allocations, they can also jointly expand long-term market opportunities.Saylor cited SIFMA data stating that by the end of 2025, the global stock market value will reach $157.8 trillion, and the fixed income debt balance will reach $160.7 trillion, with 0.1% of either market being approximately $160 billion.He proposed a threefold amplification mechanism: corporate financing to purchase supply-constrained Bitcoin can increase demand and improve the asset coverage of related companies; more issuers launching digital credit products can accumulate research, trading, and liquidity foundations, reducing the premium investors demand due to unfamiliarity, and potentially narrowing credit spreads and financing costs; more companies proving that this model can operate in different market environments may enhance market recognition of digital equity.He also emphasized that a single purchase does not guarantee Bitcoin appreciation, Bitcoin itself does not pay interest, and the profit margin between long-term asset returns and financing costs must be obtained through disciplined management; more issuers will not automatically lead to higher valuations.This model depends on a robust capital structure, prudent liquidity, transparent disclosure, and useful products. Weak issuers may undermine confidence in the entire category, while more credible issuers can meet institutional diversification investment needs and attract funds that would not otherwise enter the category.

MoonPay establishes a subsidiary in South Korea to collaborate with three major banks to enter the Asia-Pacific region, CEA Industries is renamed BNB Standard to focus on treasury strategy

According to BBX data, yesterday global publicly listed companies in the US stock market and well-known Web3 infrastructure providers disclosed the latest developments on expansion in the Asia-Pacific hub, institutional collaborations, and brand strategy restructuring. The core information is as follows:MoonPay established a subsidiary in South Korea as the Asia-Pacific hub, partnering with KakaoBank, Woori Bank, and KB Financial Group: Global cryptocurrency payment infrastructure giant MoonPay officially announced the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary in South Korea, planning to make it a comprehensive expansion center for the group in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, MoonPay has reached deep strategic cooperation with South Korea's three major mainstream financial institutions—KakaoBank, Woori Bank, and KB Financial Group. The scope of cooperation includes cross-border payment clearing, localization distribution of the Korean won stablecoin, digital wallet technology integration, and the establishment of compliant cryptocurrency fiat withdrawal and recharge channels, aiming to build a high-speed network for the flow of funds between South Korea and the global Web3.CEA Industries officially renamed to "BNB Standard," Nasdaq trading code changed to "BNC": Nasdaq-listed company CEA Industries, focusing on BNB reserve strategies, announced the completion of its brand transformation and strategic renaming, with the company name officially changed to BNB Standard. After the renaming, the company's common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the securities trading code will be officially changed to "BNC." This renaming aims to directly highlight its strategic positioning of using BNB as a core treasury asset and promoting decentralized ecological investment.

Michael Saylor seeks to restart the Strategy financing engine: the proposal for daily dividends on preferred shares may pass

According to Bloomberg, Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is seeking to adjust the dividend mechanism for the company's preferred shares, proposing to change the dividend payment from bi-monthly or quarterly to daily for billions of dollars in preferred stock. The annualized yield on the related securities can reach up to 12%, and Saylor stated that this move would help improve liquidity and market efficiency.Previously, Strategy primarily raised funds by selling common stock to purchase Bitcoin, but as the premium of common stock relative to its Bitcoin assets disappeared, the company shifted to issuing perpetual preferred shares that do not dilute the equity of common stock shareholders. Such securities have no fixed repayment date and can provide a new source of financing for Strategy. The company currently has over $14 billion in preferred shares outstanding. Although the company has repurchased over $1 billion of floating-rate preferred shares STRC, it has still been unable to issue new STRC since May.Analysts pointed out that increasing the frequency of dividend payments mainly reduces dividend-related volatility, cannot eliminate credit and Bitcoin price risks, and may not necessarily enhance market liquidity. The shareholder vote on the proposal will conclude on October 28. Given that Saylor is the main shareholder of Strategy, the proposal is expected to pass.

Michael Saylor elaborates on the strategy of digital credit strategy: MSTR focuses on maximizing returns, while STRC emphasizes stable income

Founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, stated in a post that Bitcoin is digital capital, MSTR is digital equity, and STRC is digital credit.The company's corporate strategy is to create two complementary products from Bitcoin capital: MSTR provides leveraged Bitcoin exposure and holds ownership of a growing digital credit business; STRC aims to reduce volatility, compress duration, and provide dollar returns. Creating digital credit requires active management of the entire balance sheet, including Bitcoin, dollars, debt, preferred stock, and common stock, involving multiple decisions regarding capital, liquidity, priority, dividend rates, payment frequency, and investor terms.The company's goal is to create the highest quality digital credit products: supported by financial resilience, disciplined capital allocation, and a more stable investor experience to provide attractive dollar returns. Dividends are visible outputs, but the quality of the underlying system is the core work.The company engineers products by managing capital, debt, and liquidity. Investors seeking Bitcoin price exposure can directly hold BTC or spot Bitcoin funds; meanwhile, MSTR investors buy equity in a company that simultaneously seeks Bitcoin leveraged exposure and digital credit business growth, accepting amplified volatility and downside risk. STRC investors pursue a different experience: dollar returns, reduced price volatility, and shorter duration characteristics, relying on the company's capital strength, priority debt position, dollar liquidity, and active management to achieve this.The two are interconnected—capital structure directs more volatility and return potential of Bitcoin towards common stock, thereby providing credit investors with more stable income claims. The company manages the balance sheet uniformly, creating leveraged exposure for equity investors and dampened exposure for credit investors, both relying on the company's strength and execution quality.To achieve this goal, Strategy continuously manages various levels of the capital structure, including issuing and repurchasing STRC, distinguishing between payment reserves and allocated cash, adjusting dividend rates, optimizing security terms, and seeking shorter durations and longer payment runways.The company emphasizes that digital credit is a discipline that requires continuous practice: stripping volatility, compressing duration, and extracting returns from Bitcoin capital. Bitcoin itself does not pay interest, and Strategy pays dividends through security terms. The ultimate goal is to build stronger digital credit and create greater long-term value for MSTR shareholders, reinforcing the quality of capital and equity value.

first_img French semiconductor company Sequans liquidated 314 bitcoins, exiting its bitcoin reserve strategy

French semiconductor company Sequans Communications has sold its last 314 bitcoins, completing its exit from the bitcoin reserve strategy, having previously held over 3,200 BTC. Sequans stated that this exit was conducted after the redemption of convertible bonds completed in May, allowing it to refocus on its core cellular IoT and software-defined radio business.Sequans CEO Georges Karam stated that the company used the proceeds from the bitcoin sales to pay off convertible bonds and strengthen its balance sheet. Currently, Sequans holds no cryptocurrency and has no outstanding debts other than government-funded R&D obligations. Sequans launched its bitcoin reserve strategy in June 2025, announcing a $384 million equity security and convertible secured bond issuance, with Karam at the time calling bitcoin a primary asset and an attractive long-term investment.The company began to reduce its holdings less than six months later, selling 970 BTC in November to redeem half of the convertible bonds. By May 2026, Sequans indicated that it would no longer pursue the reserve strategy and would gradually liquidate the remaining bitcoins. During the 2026 crypto bear market, an increasing number of digital asset reserve companies abandoned or scaled back their accumulation strategies. VanEck's head of digital asset research, Matthew Sigel, noted at the end of July that at least nine companies had completely liquidated or abandoned their bitcoin and cryptocurrency reserve strategies in 2026.
