In this episode, Nik and Joakim Book break down why Strategy’s balance-sheet structure, perpetual preferred design, and debt flexibility make it uniquely durable while most 2025 Bitcoin treasury companies are already cracking under MNAV compression, leverage mistakes, and collapsing share premiums. They explain how convertible debt, pipe deals, equity dilution, and falling Bitcoin prices have exposed structural flaws across the sector, why forced selling risk is overstated for Strategy but real for smaller firms, and how Tether flows, liquidity dynamics, and equity market pressure shaped this entire cycle. The discussion sets the record straight on why Strategy’s model remains resilient while the rest of the treasury boom faces a hard reset.
