Taking the leap from “ASST has an advantage because they are smaller and thus can grow BPS faster” to “then the shitty company with 0.2 BTC must be even better” demonstrates an absolutely insane level of retardation on Robin’s part.
I sold ALL my ASST shares and bought more MSTR!
-> After MSTR reaching a 0% net leverage & being able to pay daily dividends I see 0 advantages for ASST.
What speaks for MSTR:
-> STRC Dividends truly daily, not business days
-> Way more liquidity
-> Longer USD duration (3.8 yrs)
-> Longer BTC duration (42 yrs)
-> Lower cost of capital: (12% vs. 13%)
-> Has an S&P credit rating, Strive doesn't.
-> Real shot at S&P 500 inclusion.
-> MSTR trading at a lower mNav premium (Better value)
-> Digital credit is a scale game.
-> Institutions will pick the biggest player to partner.
Just to name a few, and the only thing ASST has going for it is Size. I hear this argument a lot:
"They will grow faster, because they are smaller"
With that logic I should probably buy ATIF Holdings, the smallest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company with a total holding of 0.2 Bitcoin. As they have the most room to grow.
You see how this argument makes no sense?
So in search of an argument for ASST I always fell back to MSTR is better.
And I'm in the game of picking the winner, not diversifying in an industry.
I think MSTR is the winner, and it's not even close.
Btw: I don't think ASST is doomed. I think ASST will have an amazing performance. I just can't hold it anymore. MSTR is on every objective measurement better.
Serious question: Is there any real objective advantage for ASST over MSTR?
