Can any bitcoin loon please explain why your high priest Michael Saylor is not completely mad?

With every day comes a new pronouncement from Michael Saylor, the charlatan behind the Strategy (US:MSTR) ponzi which indicates that he is going completely mad. The problem is that he has been the biggest cheerleader for crypto and his heavily indebted firm owns 3% of the world’s bitcoin. When it explodes not only will it be a forced sellers but a stack of over-leveraged believers will also enjoy a red pill moment and sell too.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1: 75 minutes with Andrew Webley, he's not a grifter, he is a nice guy but what about Smarter Web shares?

For various reasons I found myself on a video call with Andrew Webley today. We had scheduled a 30 minute chat but we talked for 75 minutes. I am a miserable man with few friends but I admit that I like Webley and would happily go for a non alcoholic drink with him. He has made errors but I can accept that they were not deliberate and he is thus definitively NOT a grifter. So does that make shares in The Smarter Web Company (SWC) a buy? No. And I explain why. But at 44.5p are they super overvalued? They might be if bitcoin crashes or if Strategy (US: MSTR) blows up and I don't think Webley would disagree. But he, like many others reckon neither will happen despite the obvious red flag of the corporate jet Strategy is buying for Michael Saylor as you can see in a regulatory disclosure below. . I discuss all of this and bring you the good news that Webley will join me on stage at Sharestock 2026 on September 5. To get your tickets at 2025 prices you must book before December 31 HERE

Matt Levine on Strategy and the lunatic Michael Saylor and the new $27.5 million corporate jet

I tried to convey the madness and ponzi nature of Strategy (US:MSTR) and how it could collapse the entire bitcoin in treasury bubble yesterday in bearcast. Quite rightly, reader and olive harvester J reckons that Matt Levine explains this insanity fair more clearly

If Strategy slips or pukes, Smarter Web Collapses, here’s the maths on how Strategy shares could dive

Strategy (MSTR) is the big daddy of bitcoin in treasury companies and its success is seen, by believers, as proof that The Smarter Web Company (SWC) can go only one way. But even Strategy trades at less than 2 times NAV whereas the Smarter Web company, at 217.5p, trades at more than five times fully diluted NAV. So, if one accepts that Strategy is cheap, which I am not sure I do, then that does not make Smarter Web anything but expensive. But what if Strategy shares were to puke? Could that happen?
