STRC vs Strive SATA Explained: The Daily Dividend War
Notas do episódio
Tim Kotzman of Bitcoin Treasuries joins Jody Flournoy and Halston Valencia on Treasury Talks, fresh off the Bitcoin treasury conference in New York, to compare Strategy's Stretch ($STRC) and Strive's $SATA now that both are moving to daily dividends, and why $STRC fell farther than $SATA. They also discuss whether Strategy could someday buy 10, 20 or 50 billion dollars of Bitcoin a week, Michael Saylor's "need $10M, raise $50M" advice, the Bitcoin hurdle rate, room for new digital credit issuers, tokenization, and the Digital Credit Digital Conference on October 21st.

Key takeaways:
- Tim Kotzman says a narrative at the conference was that just having Bitcoin on your balance sheet isn't enough anymore.
- Tim recounts Jeff Walton's story that Michael Saylor advised: if you need $10 million for a business, raise $50 million so you still have $40 million in Bitcoin if it fails.
- Jody notes the average investor would not have expected STRC to drop farther than SATA, and points to SATA's daily dividends and no debt as reasons it held up better.
- Tim says smaller digital credit issuers would likely need to offer somewhat more than 13% to compete.
- Tim views Strategy selling some Bitcoin as a sign of a two way trade and institutional grade management.
