The post Saylor Says 3.3% BTC Annual Growth Can Fund STRC Dividends Forever appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Saylor says 3.3% annual Bitcoin appreciation can fund Strategy’s dividends indefinitely. At 0% Bitcoin appreciation, Strategy reserves cover STRC dividends for 31 years. JPMorgan flagged that Strategy BTC sales could produce up to $1.25B in sell pressure. Strategy’s Michael Saylor has put a precise number on what it takes to make the company’s Bitcoin treasury model self-sustaining: a 3.3% annual appreciation rate in Bitcoin, which he is calling the BTC Breakeven ARR. Strategy currently holds 843,775 Bitcoin worth approximately $53.8 billion at current prices. Annual dividend obligations on its STRC preferred shares run at approximately $1.8 billion. Divide the dividend obligation by the Bitcoin reserve, and you get 3.3%, the minimum Bitcoin appreciation rate at which capital gains from selling a small portion of the stack can cover dividends indefinitely without depleting
The post Bitcoin miners are using up to 12% of treasury BTC as collateral rather than selling coins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Top public Bitcoin miner CleanSpark’s latest BTC count carried a footnote that may matter more than the headline total: of the 13,924 BTC it reported as of June 30, 1,719 BTC was posted as collateral or recorded as a receivable, all tied to derivative transactions That amounts to roughly 12% of the miner’s reported Bitcoin balance held in financing or risk-management mechanisms rather than functioning as a readily available reserve. For reference, CleanSpark currently owns the 11th-largest public Bitcoin treasury among operating companies. The disclosure does not imply misuse. It does show why miner treasuries are getting harder to read as the same BTC stacks are marketed as strength, sold for cash, pledged, restricted, or moved through derivatives.

The post Bitcoin is Seeing a ‘Textbook’ Bottom as More Analysis Brings Back 2022 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin (BTC) is seeing a “textbook” bear-market bottom as speculators take profits on the trip toward $65,000. Key points: Bitcoin is repeating previous macro bottom behavior in a “textbook” manner, analysis argues. Short-term holders are taking profits on minor recoveries — something “characteristic of a bull market.” Doubts remain about speculators avoiding future capitulation. Analysis: Bitcoin bottom will “be very obvious in hindsight” In their latest analysis on X, the Bitcoin quant account known as Frank, named for the famous economist Frank A. Fetter, doubled down on conviction that the worst of the BTC price downtrend is over. “This is a textbook bitcoin bottom; I mean every bottom signal has flashed or is flashing, it’ll be very obvious in hindsight,” one post stated.

The post Could Bitcoin’s 21 Million Supply Cap Change? Zcash Co-Founder Makes Bold Proposal appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
In a post, Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson proposes rethinking Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply cap. According to Ben-Sasson, capping the supply of Bitcoin at 21 million BTC does not make sense. This is because, over time, keys will be lost. He believes that this will eventually happen over an infinite time horizon. The maximum number of Bitcoins that can ever exist is 21 million BTC. This hard cap on the total Bitcoin supply is a fundamental part of Bitcoin’s monetary policy, which is designed to promote scarcity and prevent inflation. Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto encoded this limit into the cryptocurrency’s source code.
