Thanks Jack, makes sense. You have a fiat liability, and you want to offset it with a Bitcoin asset (collateral) so there is no risk of you being unable to pay back your original lenders.

Another honest question, is there a point where the juice isn’t worth the squeeze? If you’re able to borrow at relatively low rates and Saylor wants to give you 11% with STRC, or you want to simply buy Bitcoin with borrowed money yourself, at what point does that make sense versus running the Bitcoin-collateralized loans?
