Bitcoin Magazine has published a video segment featuring Mike Flaum, CEO of Log Scale Investments, discussing Strategy, Bitcoin treasury companies, and the structure of several Bitcoin-linked products. The episode covers Strategy’s Stretch, what a return to par could mean, how issuing Stretch at $100 could restart Bitcoin buying, and the approval of daily dividends for shareholders. It also looks at why those daily dividends may function similarly to Bitcoin perpetual futures, and how opportunistic traders differ from long-term preferred holders. The discussion also turns to Strive’s SATS, including whether oversubscription represented net new money, and compares Bitcoin-backed preferreds with Treasury bonds for retirees. Flaum addresses why Strategy’s stock has not kept pace with its Bitcoin holdings, breaks down gross, EV, and net mNAV, and discusses digital credit, amplification, share buybacks, and the capital stack differences between Strategy and Strive. The episode closes with a discussion of whether Bitcoin’s four-year cycle is dead, why Bitcoin may hit an all-time high before the halving, and JPMorgan’s Bitcoin forecast alongside long-term return expectations. Bitcoin Magazine notes that the program is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice.

Bitcoin Magazine has released a video segment written by Patrick Green featuring Mike Flaum, CEO of Log Scale Investments, on Strategy and the outlook for Bitcoin treasury companies. The program frames Flaum’s view that MSTR could perform "massively to the upside" during the next BTC bull run and lays out a series of product, valuation, and cycle-related topics tied to that thesis.

Topics covered in the episode

According to the episode description, Flaum discusses Strategy’s Stretch, daily dividends, Strive’s SATS, Bitcoin-backed preferreds versus Treasury bonds for retirees, mNAV, and the four-year Bitcoin cycle. He also explains why he separates risk from volatility and why he remains bullish over the long term.
