Strategy (MSTR) just reported Q3 earnings, and this episode breaks down the most important developments shaping the future of the world’s first and largest bitcoin treasury company. Host Pierre Rochard and producer Spencer Nichols dive into the numbers, the updated capital strategy, and how the “BTC Refinery Model” is redefining corporate balance sheets in the Bitcoin era.We explore why MSTR raised the STRC dividend to 10.5% at the same time the Federal Reserve is cutting rates, and what this counter-cyclical move signals about Strategy’s ambitions. The discussion also clarifies the difference between leverage and amplification—a point many investors still misunderstand—and why preferred equity has become the cornerstone of Saylor’s approach to harnessing bitcoin’s volatility for equity holders rather than fighting it. And finally, they discuss the B- credit rating conferred to Strategy by S&P, and what this means for the future of bitcoin-backed credit instruments.
