Joe Consorti on $MSTR, $STRC Buys and Bitcoin Through $100K

Joe Consorti joins host Jody Flournoy on Macro Mondays to break down the MSCI index decision on Strategy ($MSTR), Strategy's $STRC buybacks back to par, and why he thinks bitcoin can blast through $100,000. Then Artem Ponomarev, CEO of X-Place, explains borrowing against stocks and bitcoin and why he expects the biggest bull run ever.

Joe walks through the numbers on MSCI forced selling, the Fed and $100 oil, why he treats MSTR as a trade and bitcoin as savings, what people get wrong about treasury company leverage, paper bitcoin, and Michael Burry versus the Fed backstop. Artem covers partial liquidation protection, tokenization and Robinhood, which stocks work as collateral, and how AI job losses could shape markets.
