Summary MicroStrategy is leveraging innovative financial tools to expand its Bitcoin holdings. It has been reducing leverage and increasing optionality through aggressive ATM offerings in Q4 2024. The company intends to increase its authorized common and preferred share counts, enabling future BTC purchases via issuances and opening the door to more stock splits. The recent offering of perpetual preferred shares with conversion features signals the expansion of the total addressable market into different portions of the capital markets. Despite potential risks from Bitcoin volatility and regulatory actions, MSTR's unique business model and strong investor interest position it for impressive growth. Convertible bonds and preferred stock in Q1 2025 should push the stock much higher with higher BTC yield. Let's cover the many recent developments for MicroStrategy (MSTR). I remain incredibly bullish on MSTR. You are encouraged to read my last article , as this missive builds heavily upon the understanding established in that article. Here's the summary of that last article: MSTR is Bitcoin's only investment bank since MicroStrategy securities are really just Bitcoin (BTC-USD) securities MSTR's true business is in chopping up the CAGR and volatility profile of BTC into different levels of risk and return for different investors. This means that each time MSTR raises money that money is best considered as revenue to the business. The company immediately takes that revenue and invests it into the Bitcoin network to generate a return in the form of BTC Yield. Anyone who says MSTR is a software business with a Bitcoin treasury does not really understand the company. It is actually software, Bitcoin treasury, plus what I call "investment bank operations". I valued the investment banking operation to be worth at least $1 trillion. Recent developments prove my thesis and signal very bullish catalysts for the stock. Here they are: The aggressive deployment of ATM offerings to bring down the leverage ratio and the company's premium to Bitcoin treasury NAV Raising the authorized max common stock share count from 330 million shares to 10.33 billion shares Raising the authorized max preferred stock share count from 5 million shares to 10.005 billion shares Going into Q1 with about $19 billion in convertible bonds left to deploy And most recently, the offering of $2 billion in perpetual preferred shares MicroStrategy is assembling the financial tools necessary for unprecedented expansion. The company's recent moves have positioned MSTR as a coiled spring, poised to explode much higher in 2025. ATM Aggression Reduces Leverage and Increases Optionality MSTR used its ATM to sell nearly $14 billion in shares within 2 months of the 21/21 capital raise plan ($21 billion ATM and $21 billion in fixed income). The proceeds were used to buy BTC and reduce the leverage ratio of the company and drop the premium to NAV. Here you can see that the NAV premium has fallen back below 2X the company's BTC holdings, after getting close to 3.5X. Premium contraction was mostly due to the stock falling from $540 to $330, but using the ATM also contributed to adding more BTC to the treasury, and therefore shrinking the premium by increasing the denominator in the market cap to BTC ratio. NAV Premium (mstr-tracker.com) The net result of using equity dilution to buy BTC is that it drops the leverage ratio of the company. Currently, the company has about $8 billion in convertible bonds outstanding. This is ultimately backed by the BTC holdings, which are worth about $44 billion. If MSTR buys BTC using equity dilution, then it increases the BTC holdings number without increasing the debt number, thus shrinking the leverage ratio. All this does is set the stage for lenders to have more "collateral" and therefore de-risk borrowing. On top of that, MSTR IV has been falling and this makes convertible bonds less attractive for the company. Note that when IV peaked around 21 November 2024, MSTR did a $3 billion convertible bonds raise . This also depletes their $21 billion in fixed income from the 21/21 plan to $18 billion going into Q1. MSTR IV and Price (unusualwhales) When convertible bonds resume, BTC Yield will skyrocket and the stock will likely respond accordingly. As the stock rallies, IV rallies too, and this is when more convertible bonds may be issued to boost BTC Yield. I expect that their guidance of 8–10% annual BTC Yield will be achieved before Q1 2025 ends. More Shares And More Preferred Shares MicroStrategy's recent proposal to increase its authorized common share count from 330 million to 10.33 billion is a big deal. This move provides the company with better flexibility to issue equity in the future, enabling further BTC purchases from future ATMs. However, the sheer scale of the increase has raised eyebrows. I just want to be clear that this really is not a 30X increase in the share account. It is highly likely that after MSTR crosses $1000 per share, the company will do a 10-for-1 split like it did in mid-2024. Here is why stock splits are a big deal for this company in particular . So this 30X increase is probably only a 3X increase from dilution. Far more significant is the proposal on authorized preferred shares count, from 5 million to 10 billion. Preferred shares offer a unique financing mechanism that avoids direct dilution of common shareholders. By issuing preferred shares with positive coupons, MicroStrategy could attract yield-seeking investors while channeling the proceeds into more BTC. This is also exactly what I predicted in my last MSTR article about it being Bitcoin's investment bank issuing a number of different securities for a number of different investors. Bitcoin cannot issue preferred stock, but through MicroStrategy—Bitcoin's only investment bank—it can. MicroStrategy brings the risk and return profile of BTC to different groups of investors, in a safe and manageable form for each respective group. So, is MicroStrategy issuing preferred stock? The answer is yes. They are targeting $2 billion in perpetual preferred stock, which may have a conversion feature to common stock. The market for preferred stock is bigger than the market for convertible bonds. Please remember that MSTR's convertible bonds are basically the best performing bonds on the planet, as you can see here: MSTR Convertibles (MSTR) The same is likely to happen to preferred stock. Here's another thing that most people do not understand. If the perpetual preferred stock has a conversion feature, then it is really an embedded everlasting call option (a call which does not expire). A call option very far OTM with high IV can be worth a lot of money if the DTE is an extremely high number. If you plug these parameters into the Black-Scholes model, you will see this for yourself. What MSTR would be doing here is maximizing the time value of the options they are selling to maximize the option value they are selling. In the past, I have covered how MSTR's convertible bonds strategy meant they were monetizing the second moment of the distribution by selling volatility (volatility is the square root of variance, and variance is the second moment). Well, a perpetual preferred stock with a conversion feature is monetizing time value to the fullest extent possible because you are selling options with infinite time. All of this money acquired by all this financial engineering goes straight into generating more BTC Yield for common stock shareholders. Any MSTR analysis which does not cover the basic facts of options pricing is unable to provide a thorough picture of the company's true business operations. This requires sophisticated knowledge which the market as an emergent entity obviously understands, hence the market prices MSTR shares at a premium to the BTC NAV. Those who do not understand will try to justify an ill-advised long BTC short MSTR pair trade, which I debunk in this article . Innovative Financing—Imagine Preferred Stock And Negative Coupon Convertibles Preferred stock with positive coupons offers a win-win for the company and preferred stock investors. Preferred stock gives more flexibility than regular fixed income, which can be helpful. At the same time, MSTR can issue negative coupon convertible bonds whose interest payments can be used to pay the preferred stock dividends. Negative rates can be achieved by lowering the conversion premium of the bonds. This increases the embedded option value and can justify negative interest rates. This combination of preferred stock and negative coupon bonds would allow MicroStrategy to raise an enormous amount of capital at almost zero ongoing expense. Moreover, it would be serving completely different classes of investors, which increases the total addressable market of the investment banking operation. This is why increasing 5 million preferred shares to 10 billion preferred shares is so important. It is setting the stage for very big and highly accretive moves. Risks Here's what I stated in my last article on thesis risks. This will continue to apply. MSTR would fail if Bitcoin fails. The whole investment thesis is predicated upon accepting Bitcoin risk. But if BTC crashes, I'm not sure that would mean MSTR would crash harder. Positive BTC Yield should be regarded as an alpha on top of BTC performance… I think it really comes down to the duration of a BTC drawdown. If the drawdown is extended and MSTR's price is below the conversion price on its convertibles, then convertible bonds investors might choose not to convert. This could force MSTR to issue more debt to pay off these demands, or even to sell BTC. That could be catastrophic for sentiment. I think it is also possible that MSTR could fail if regulators step in to squash the business. Maybe a law can be passed that securities issuances cannot be used to buy BTC, or something to that effect. This would certainly be a remote, tail risk. The incoming Trump administration is definitely more politically aligned with crypto than the outgoing administration. I think it is extremely unlikely for MSTR to get regulated away. Adding on to this, it is possible that preferred stock does not get as much uptake as convertible bonds do. These are different investors, with different preferences. Preferred stock investors tend to desire stability and steady cash flows. They tend to be insurance companies, banks, and pensions. Convertible bond investors tend to be volatility arbitrageurs and fixed income traders. MSTR just offered $2 billion. It will be interesting to watch how this develops. Personally, I doubt this will be a problem. After the first raise, the stock price will likely respond very favorably as it is a signal that Bitcoin, via MSTR, has broken into this new section of the capital markets too. Conclusion There are a few more developments which I will mention in closing. The demand for MSTR convertible bonds seems insatiable, and two asset managers have filed ETFs which will bring MSTR convertibles in an ETF wrapper. I do not know of any other company that has so much investor interest in their fixed income that ETFs were filed to give exposure to non-accredited investors. Here is the filing for the REX Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond ETF. And here is Strive Asset Management's filing for the Strive Bitcoin Bond ETF . Both were filed in late December. All this does is introduce price insensitive buyers of future bond issuances, which compresses the cost of debt capital. This means even more BTC Yield for MSTR shareholders. MicroStrategy's recent maneuvers have positioned it on the verge of something truly extraordinary. I expect impressive BTC Yield numbers and eventually inclusion into the S&P 500 (Nasdaq 100 has already been achieved) in 2025. MSTR is mastering the securitization of BTC into capital assets for every investor caste by channeling BTC through its own capital structure. This is a business model unlike anything anyone has ever seen, performed with an asset few people understand. I see it as a gigantic information asymmetry which heavily favors people who grasp the nuances of the company's economic reality. The risks are there, but so far, it has been working spectacularly. If you think BTC continues to seep into the global financial system, I view MSTR as the best way to express this view. Strong Buy.
The crypto market dropped after Bitcoin immediately turned away from the $100,000 level following strong US economic data reports.
Coinbase has secured a significant legal victory in its ongoing battle with the SEC, gaining approval to appeal key legal questions to a higher court. On January 7 , District Judge Katherine Polk Failla paused the case, allowing Coinbase to seek clarity from an appellate court on whether certain digital assets on its platform qualify as securities and if these transactions require an investment contract under the Howey test . The appeal focuses on Coinbase's argument that tokens listed on its exchange do not meet the legal definition of securities. The company maintains that token issuers are not obligated to buyers, failing a key condition of the Howey test. Judge Failla acknowledged that this legal question has grounds for differing interpretations and that resolving it could streamline the case. Paul Grewal, Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, expressed appreciation for the court's decision, stating that the case will now proceed to the Second Circuit. The pause in proceedings prevents further district court litigation until the appeal concludes. This decision arrives during a transitional period for U.S. crypto regulations. The incoming administration under President-elect Donald Trump could signal a shift in crypto policy. Gary Gensler’s SEC leadership saw an aggressive stance against crypto platforms, including Coinbase, with lawsuits targeting unregistered securities trading. However, Paul Atkins , expected to lead the SEC under the new administration, may deprioritize enforcement cases initiated under Gensler. The SEC originally filed its lawsuit against Coinbase in 2023 , alleging that at least 13 tokens traded on the platform should have been registered as securities. Despite initial progress in 2024, some claims—such as those targeting Coinbase's wallet services—were dismissed. Coinbase has also criticized the SEC for approving its public listing while later challenging the legality of its operations. Beyond the courtroom, Coinbase achieved another regulatory success by securing a license from New York regulators . This approval enables the exchange to introduce new products for New York residents, signaling a positive step amid regulatory tensions. Additionally, Coinbase has raised concerns about alleged federal efforts to restrict banks from engaging with cryptocurrency businesses. Critics have referred to this campaign as “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” accusing regulators of unfairly targeting the crypto sector. Senator Cynthia Lummis publicly criticized Michael Barr, Vice Chair for Supervision, for allegedly exceeding his authority and stifling Wyoming's digital asset industry. Meanwhile, Congress is considering new legislation to establish clearer rules for digital assets. Industry leaders are lobbying for policies that promote growth while balancing regulatory oversight. Although the Coinbase case could potentially reach the Supreme Court, its long-term significance might diminish if lawmakers enact definitive cryptocurrency regulations. In summary, Coinbase's appeal approval represents a pivotal moment in the legal battle with the SEC . The outcome could establish important legal precedents for the U.S. crypto industry, shaping the future of digital asset regulations in the country.

The post Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit $978M: BlackRock’s $597M Leads Despite Market Downturn appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Bitcoin continues its downward trend, trading near $96,259 after a sharp 5% drop. The flagship cryptocurrency has faced increasing pressure from strong U.S. economic data, which has dampened investor sentiment. With a 24-hour low of $96,132 and a high of $102,022, Bitcoin’s trading volume has also dipped by 23%, reflecting cautious market activity. Overall it also hit major altcoins which fell by 5% to 10% within 24 hours, even memes felt the heat, with Dogecoin (DOGE) dropping 8% and Shiba Inu (SHIB) dropping to 10%. The global crypto market dropped 16%, now at $3.38 trillion. Despite the tumbling Bitcoin performance , BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has made waves in the crypto world, recording a massive $597 million inflow despite a broader market downturn. This marks the third consecutive net inflow for spot Bitcoin ETFs, signaling strong institutional confidence even as the market faces macroeconomic pressures. In the downtrend, Bitcoin ETFs are raising the temperature. Will this rally continue? let’s find out! Record Inflows Highlight Market Optimism On January 7, BlackRock’s IBIT purchased 6,078 BTC worth $208.7 million, significantly outpacing the new BTC mined that day. As per data , the ETF’s inflow of $597 million stands out as a lifeline for the crypto market , which has been grappling with investor caution due to strong U.S. economic data. In total, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw nearly $978 million in inflows, with BlackRock leading the charge. Other ETFs Struggle Amid Selloff While BlackRock continues to dominate, other Bitcoin ETFs faced notable outflows. Fidelity’s FBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Ark Invest’s ARKB saw combined outflows exceeding $400 million. Grayscale’s GBTC also recorded a $125.45 million outflow, further highlighting BlackRock’s contrasting strength in the market. What’s Dragging Bitcoin Down? The crypto market is feeling the heat from strong U.S. economic data. More job openings and better-than-expected service sector numbers have made the U.S. dollar stronger, which isn’t great news for Bitcoin. On top of that, higher Treasury yields are making traditional investments more attractive, pulling attention away from crypto. The U.S. dollar index (DXY) remains strong above 108.50, while the 10-year Treasury yield hit a 35-week high of 4.68%, adding to Bitcoin’s downtrend. A Silver Lining BlackRock’s aggressive Bitcoin purchases, even during a market downturn, signal unwavering confidence in the long-term potential of digital assets. As the iShares Bitcoin ETF continues to attract substantial inflows, it could set the stage for renewed optimism in the crypto space, especially as investors navigate macroeconomic challenges. As the dust settles, all eyes are on institutional players and economic trends to see where Bitcoin heads next. With BlackRock, Fidelity, and true digital gold hype, we’re on the brink of financial freedom. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Samsung Electronics is taking heat after posting a weak ₩6.5 trillion ($4.5 billion) operating profit for Q4 2024, a number that’s more than double last year’s figure but still a gut punch compared to the ₩7.7 trillion analysts expected. It’s a wake-up call for the world’s biggest memory chipmaker, as the numbers expose some brutal realities: cooling demand, tough competition, and delays in AI tech. The semiconductor giant blamed slowing sales of PCs and smartphones for dragging its chip division. But it’s not just demand that’s killing the vibe. Samsung is bleeding cash to ramp up production for advanced chip manufacturing, and its flagship HBM3E chips—needed for Nvidia’s AI systems—missed delivery deadlines. Oversupply in conventional memory chips is leaving Samsung to juggle a pile of challenges while trying to keep its top spot. AI market: SK Hynix is eating Samsung’s lunch The AI hardware race isn’t waiting for Samsung to catch up. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made it clear during CES in Las Vegas that Samsung’s current HBM offerings just aren’t cutting it. “They have to engineer a new design,” he said, though he added he’s confident Samsung can pull it off. Nice words, but it doesn’t change the fact that SK Hynix is miles ahead with AI-grade high-bandwidth memory chips. Samsung has been slow to meet Nvidia’s standards, and analysts are already warning that its late entry into the HBM game could cost it even more market share. What’s worse, the chip industry isn’t exactly booming across the board. Last month, US competitor Micron Technology predicted weak revenue and profits thanks to falling chip prices. But while Micron and others are struggling with broader market trends, Samsung is also losing ground where it hurts the most: the high-margin, high-stakes AI sector. Despite all the drama, Samsung’s stock jumped 2.9% on Wednesday. Why? Optimism about a future rebound in chip demand. But 2024 was rough. Shares tanked more than 30%, prompting an uncharacteristic apology from Samsung in October for its poor performance.

XRP investors have shown increased frustration over weeks of price stagnation, with profit-taking activity surging to $1.6 billion in just 24 hours. Nearly 695 million XRP tokens were sold, signaling growing dissatisfaction among holders. This trend, common during prolonged consolidation phases, often results in heightened selling pressure and limited upward movement. Despite this selling activity, long-term holders remain resilient, providing a stabilizing force for XRP. The MVRV Long/Short Ratio indicates that these investors are still sitting on profits, which helps prevent sharper declines in value. Their continued confidence plays a key role in maintaining critical support levels, even as short-term traders exit their positions. The ongoing consolidation period has limited XRP's growth potential, with repeated failures to break through key resistance levels. For weeks, the token has remained trapped within a narrow price range, unable to regain momentum. Without a significant shift in market sentiment, this pattern of sideways movement is likely to persist. However, increasing selling pressure could jeopardize XRP's support zone. If this level fails to hold, the market outlook could quickly shift from neutral to bearish, leading to potential losses for investors. Long-term holders’ resilience remains the critical factor in maintaining stability amid the current market conditions. In summary, XRP continues to face challenges due to ongoing investor frustration, rising profit-taking, and stagnant price movement. While long-term holders provide a safety net, any significant increase in selling pressure could disrupt the delicate balance currently holding the market steady.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, has refuted claims that the highly anticipated TREAT governance token is already available in the market. The official launch of TREAT is scheduled for January 14, but misinformation about its release has been spreading, prompting Kusama to issue a warning to the community. TREAT Launch and False Claims The TREAT token, an important addition to the Shiba Inu ecosystem, is set to bring enhanced decentralization and utility. According to official statements , the token will debut on January 14, 2025. Despite this, misleading information has surfaced, alleging that TREAT has been available for nearly two years. On Sunday, a user known as CryptoMumms promoted what they claimed to be the “real” TREAT token, asserting that it had been stealth-launched on January 14, 2023. In blockchain terms, a stealth launch occurs when a token is released without prior marketing or public announcement. This misinformation coincides with the ecosystem’s official announcement of the upcoming launch date, sparking confusion among community members. Shytoshi Kusama Responds to Misinformation In response, Kusama directly addressed the false claims. He made it clear that the token had not been launched. The developer dismissed CryptoMumms’ assertions and warned the community to remain cautious. The fake token being marketed as TREAT is reportedly trading on ShibaSwap with the wallet contract address “0xFBD…146B.” Data from DEXTools shows the counterfeit token priced at $0.001549 with a market capitalization of $3.11 million. Kusama emphasized that these claims are baseless and urged Shiba Inu supporters to avoid engaging with or investing in the fraudulent token. The team continues to monitor the situation and has reiterated the official launch date for TREAT. Importance of TREAT in the Shiba Inu Ecosystem The token is expected to play a key role in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, offering governance functionality, rewards, and practical utility. Its introduction is anticipated to strengthen the project’s decentralization efforts and provide additional benefits to the community. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 The excitement around the TREAT launch has contributed to positive momentum for SHIB, the ecosystem’s native token. Last week, SHIB saw a 12% increase, recovering from a minor dip in late December. As of now, SHIB is trading at $0.00002403, reflecting a slight growth of 0.04% in the last 24 hours. Community Advisory As the launch date approaches, Kusama and the team continue to urge caution within the community. Investors and supporters are advised to rely on official channels for updates and avoid any token claiming to be TREAT before its confirmed release. The team remains committed to protecting the ecosystem and ensuring transparency around the token’s rollout. The official debut of the token is expected to mark a significant milestone for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, further solidifying its position in the cryptocurrency space.

At present, the most hyped collaboration is between Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, as traders flock to AI cryptos for profits. Two specific cryptos made one trader a multi-millionaire after they gave multiple-fold returns, bringing the total profit to $37M and counting. Let’s look at this crypto investor’s portfolio and what crypto tokens made him a multi-millionaire. ai16z and Fartcoin Crypto Tokens Made $37M For Crypto Investor The crypto investor made massive gains on the two most popular AI cryptos , ai16z and Fartcoin, where the former made 6,400x returns, whereas the latter made 1,490x returns. The investor has made $37M with two crypto tokens, showcasing impressive trading skills and strategies. Lookonchain data reveals that the crypto trader spent 18 SOL, equivalent to $3,000, on buying 9.16 million ai16z tokens. The trader still holds most of these holdings, selling only 1.32 million tokens for $1.71 million and keeping $17.26 million in unrealized profits. Thus, this ai16z investment profits total $19 million. On the other hand, the trader spent $12.2k and bought $17.31M in Fartcoin, which was also profitable. The trader sold 6.71M tokens, grabbing $5.4M, and still holds $12.83M worth of tokens in unrealized profits, bringing total Fartcoin profit to $18M. The crypto investor demonstrates unmatched crypto trading skills, earning $37M from two AI cryptos. However, this investor’s crypto portfolio contains many tokens and millions in unrealized profits. Trader’s ROI Turns 89% With These Crypto Tokens The crypto trader made $37.21M in ai16z and Fartcoin, but there were many more investments in other tokens. It includes many low-cap tokens and constant buying of new tokens. Despite the risk, the trader’s ROI for the last month is 89% and $0.5M in unrealized profits, boosting impressive crypto trading skills. In the last few days, the crypto trader has added eef, DEAL, OPAIUM, and many others, presenting a stellar track record in investing. The biggest stake in these newly bought tokens is in the OPAIUM tokens, for which the trader spent 400 SOL, equivalent to $86k. What’s The Lesson Here? This crypto investor stands out after making $37M in profits within a few months. In this profit milestone, ai16z and Fartcoin are the biggest contributors. Trader identified these low-value AI cryptos when they had not gained traction. Additional trading approaches include a diversified portfolio, large investments, and long-term holdings. As a result, these low-cap crypto tokens made this crypto trader a multi-millionaire. However, not all turns this successful, as one trader lost $60k in just two hours after succumbing to FOMO. More importantly, many such tokens are risky, especially the newly launched ones, which often face rug pull and other hidden scams. Investors should stay careful and aware of market trends and run proper research and technical analysis before investing in any crypto to ensure safety and profits.
