Strategy Incorporated (MSTR): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Strategy Incorporated (MSTR) on by Chris Millas. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on MSTR. Strategy Incorporated (MSTR)'s share was trading at $378.10 as of 4th June. 10 Companies Buying Bitcoin Like There's No Tomorrow Strategy₿, formerly MicroStrategy, has redefined itself as the leading corporate Bitcoin treasury, building a business model engineered entirely around acquiring and holding Bitcoin. Michael Saylor's vision is simple: create financial instruments that attract all investor types, use the capital raised to buy Bitcoin, and repeat the cycle to maximize Bitcoin Per Share and Bitcoin Yield. Strategy's toolkit includes a suite of capital levers—convertible bonds, preferred equities like $STRK, $STRF, and $STRD, and at-the-market offerings—each structured to capture fiat and convert it into Bitcoin without overburdening the balance sheet. The firm's preference for preferred equity over traditional debt stems from its flexibility, as these instruments carry no maturity, no repayment obligations, and allow for paused dividends in challenging markets, all while preserving balance sheet strength and creditworthiness. Volatility in Strategy's share price is not a bug but a feature. Upside volatility accelerates bond conversions to equity, while downside volatility resets the base, making future instruments more appealing. Convertible arbitrage traders also amplify this effect, dynamically shorting or covering Strategy's stock based on delta shifts, profiting from volatility while adding liquidity. Strategy may be deliberate in issuing convertibles due to timing lockouts and a need for favorable market conditions—high volatility and low leverage—so they can secure low coupons and favorable terms. Despite the speculative nature of Bitcoin and its price-linked instruments, Strategy's debt is not backed by Bitcoin collateral, shielding it from margin calls. With unencumbered Bitcoin reserves, scalable capital access, and investor products designed for every risk appetite, Strategy offers a way to potentially outperform Bitcoin itself as it continues advancing toward a Bitcoin Standard. Previously, we covered a bearish thesis on Strategy Incorporated (MSTR) by Charly AI on Substack, which depicts MSTR as an overleveraged Bitcoin proxy with declining core software and fragile finances. This thesis has partially played out as the stock price has depreciated by -0.9% however, it might be too soon to speculate. The bullish view by Chris Millas frames it as an innovative Bitcoin-focused entity using flexible capital tools to amplify upside while managing risk. Both agree it's a Bitcoin bet—one calls it reckless, the other strategic. Strategy Incorporated (MSTR) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 33 hedge fund portfolios held MSTR at the end of the first quarter which was 44 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of MSTR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Circle stock surges 15%, extends gains for third day in a row since blockbuster IPO
Circle's stock (CRCL) surged for a third day in a row on Monday following its blockbuster IPO last week. Shares of the stablecoin issuer jumped more than 15% to trade near $122, nearly 300% above their debut price of $31. The surge builds on gains from the previous two trading days, including an intraday surge of over 200% last Thursday shortly after the company's highly anticipated market debut. Circle IPO success comes amid bullish momentum in the crypto space, including the Trump administration's push for a friendly framework for cryptocurrencies, the president's business involvement in the space, and legislation in Congress that would regulate stablecoins. "Having a crypto friendly administration, the legislation... plus the fact that larger financial institutions are considering launching their own coins, these are all tailwinds and votes of confidence in the stablecoin market," Brianne Lynch, EquityZen head of market insight told Yahoo Finance last Thursday. Circle had previously attempted to go public via a SPAC deal in 2021 but ultimately shelved the plan a year later. Circle, the issuer of the stablecoin USDC (USDC-USD), which is backed by the dollar. The company had $60 billion worth of the token in circulation at the end of the first quarter. Circle is the second-largest stablecoin issuer on the market, trailing only Tether, which has nearly $150 billion in circulation. The company generates the bulk of its revenue through "reserve income"—profits earned from the cash reserves backing the USDC stablecoins. Publicly traded companies have been increasing their exposure to digital assets, with some shifting their strategies to emulate MicroStrategy's (MSTR) bitcoin treasury model. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) recently surged to all-time highs above $110,000. On Monday, bitcoin traded near $107,000 per token.

Exclusive: Coinbase vets raise $30 million for crypto wallet startup Turnkey
Crypto infrastructure companies were all the rage during the last crypto bear market in 2022 and 2023. Investors threw millions at startups that promised to make the development of crypto applications less clunky and more user-friendly. While some firms have quietly closed up shop, others have now matured—and are raking in new rounds of capital. That includes New York-based Turnkey. Founded in 2022, Turnkey creates low-level infrastructure for digital wallets where users store and manage their cryptocurrency. On Monday, the startup announced that it had raised $30 million in a Series B funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto. Other investors included Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Faction, Galaxy Ventures, Wintermute, and Variant. CEO and cofounder Bryce Ferguson said Turnkey's appeal lies in its ability to add and streamline advanced features to wallets. 'We're moving from this world of these slow, clunky systems that were designed for buying and holding crypto to very high throughput, machine-based transactions,' he added. Like many crypto startup founders, Ferguson and his cofounder, Jack Kearney, are alumni of Coinbase, the U.S.'s largest crypto exchange, and worked at the company's division dedicated to holding assets for big institutional investors, like Bitcoin. After Ferguson left Coinbase in 2021 and started a job as leader of the crypto division of Trade Republic, a broker based out of Berlin, he realized there were 'a lot of rough edges' around the infrastructure that companies use to hold their crypto. So, he teamed up with his former colleague Kearney, who was then working for the vaunted crypto VC Polychain, to launch Turnkey. The company offers APIs, or application programming interfaces, where developers can plug into the startup's software to easily create and manage crypto wallets for their users. Many well-known firms in the crypto industry use Turnkey's product, including the prediction market platform Polymarket, the NFT marketplace Magic Eden, and Bridge, the stablecoin startup recently acquired by fintech giant Stripe. The startup's competitors include crypto infrastructure companies like Fireblocks as well as Privy, another company that lets companies easily create and manage users' crypto wallets. Still, Ferguson says business is booming. Over the past year, the number of transactions it's processed has increased 200 times over. And while his startup is not in the black, it does 'have a clear path to profitability,' he said. Investors in the round received stock as well as token warrants, or promised allocations of a yet-be-released cryptocurrency. Ferguson, however, said his startup has no plans to launch its own cryptocurrency and the warrants are common additions to most crypto deals. He and his cofounder plan to use the new injection of cash to grow his staff of currently 35 employees, especially his engineering team. 'Most of the UX [user experience] challenges that people have talked about over the past five years in crypto have been solved,' he said. 'Ultimately, the building blocks are there.'
