Lol, no. Selling debt and issuing stock does not equal cash flow. That's just accounting BS. They can now count unrealized gains/ losses on their Bitcoin as net income. Net income on unrealized digital assets does not equal cash flow. Their revenue is virtually flat for a decade. Profit has been a...

Companies trade based on their cash flows, not a premium on their usd cash holdings. Companies that don't deploy cash and accumulate too much do in fact trade at a discount.

Fascinating. Regardless of right or wrong, being able to account for balance sheet growth as earnings is a big change So re my point of competition. No one can match the MSTR btc stack, so their ear...

What saylo is doing is genius. People saying things like this highly leveraged equity is super risky and will go bankrupt. They aren't looking at all. They are less leveraged than most companies. They have 9bil in dept and 40 bil in bitcoin. They issue debt in Converts that mature and vanish. They raise money with STRK preferred stock for people who basically want zero down side and a chance at MSTRs upside and they sell ATM shares of MSTR when they feel the premium is juicy. There is an ETF coming out that will buy only BTC converts MSTR will be able to get even better terms on their converts they are already issuing them at 0% intrest.

It's easy to neg on MSTR and say some buzz words if you do a very deep dive you will see the genius.

Value up from first day of quarter to last day is revenue. Down is lost revenue. Check tsla q4 report they reported using FASB

FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) recently changed its accounting rules for Bitcoin (BTC), which has major implications for companies holding BTC, like MicroStrategy (MSTR).

Old FASB Rules (Pre-2024)

BTC was classified as an intangible asset (like goodwill or trademarks).

Companies had to impair BTC holdings if the price dropped below purchase price, meaning they had to report a loss.

If BTC’s price went back up, they could not mark it up as a gain on the balance sheet—gains were only recognized when BTC was sold.


New FASB Rules (Starting 2024)

BTC is now treated as a fair value asset, meaning companies must mark it up or down every quarter based on market price.

Gains and losses from BTC price changes are reported in earnings—even if the company doesn’t sell.


Why This Matters for Earnings & Stock Prices

Companies like MicroStrategy (MSTR), Tesla, and Block will now report Bitcoin gains as earnings each quarter if BTC goes up.

Investors will see higher earnings on financial statements, which can attract more institutional investment.

MSTR, as a leveraged Bitcoin play, benefits massively because its stock value is closely tied to BTC price.


"For a Dude on NOSTR" Explanation

If someone on NOSTR is saying BTC going up "counts as earnings now," they mean that companies holding Bitcoin—like MicroStrategy—will report Bitcoin price increases as part of their official earnings instead of just an asset revaluation on the balance sheet. This change makes BTC gains more visible and impactful for stock valuations.

I love this kind of idea. Where I get tripped up: the equity multiple to nav. As it blows out, 3x, 6x, maybe 10x, the incentive for additional entities to compete with a leveraged bitcoin balance shee...

MNAV means nothing. Except the multiple that saylor can exploit. What means something is revenue growth. P/E value. MSTR has 500,000 BTC ever $2000 BTC goes up a quarter is $billion profit on their balance sheet with FASB accounting you can say it doesn't make sense but that is what makes sense to the markets. Reason why TSLA had a shit 4th quarter with a shit outlook but reported FASB and the stock popped because of BTC earnings.

What’s the best resource for a summary on FASB alterations and impacts? Certainly an area I’ve not delved into much When you say “revenue” I am confused. Owning Bitcoin on the balance sheet that increases in value, due to its underlining price appreciation then pushes equity value, but wh...

C’mon give it your best shot 😄

I'm over estimating Saylor and he doesn't realize that the higher BTC is at the close of the quarter the higher his 12 month profit will be and starting an inevitable cascade of events.

I don't think that is the case but it very well maybe. He might lose his conviction at the Nth hour and not want to drop 21 or 40 billion into BTC and shoot his wad because he's not 100% certain that the market will price the company to the appropriate P/E or anywhere close.

But I think he has balls of Steele and knows exactly what this quarter means to his company and BTC.

Are you Michael Saylor in disguise? 🥸 😅 I don’t understand why being added to sp500 is so squishy? Like reading tea leaves?
