Dividends paid must always com-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

Dividends paid must always come from fresh cash generated from profits. MSTR's dividends comes from fresh cash coming from new share issues. And with Bitcoin prices falling, there is no profit generation to support paying the dividend other than from issuing more shares. How is this not a ponzi? At what point will the authorities take action?

'Ponzi Scheme': Saylor's Strategy's New Dividend Policy Raises Criticism

Bitcoin Rebounds: Would US Stock Market Bounce Back Too?

Bitcoin bounced sharply after Middle East escalation, marking the third time it has acted as a weekend risk barometer. Each time: a sharp selloff followed by a rebound — but this recovery has been stronger, signaling improving risk appetite. According to Academy Securities strategists, oil’s pullback suggests the geopolitical premium is being partially priced out, with supply and inventories providing a buffer. If crude stabilizes and crypto holds gains, does that confirm a broader risk-on reset for equities — or is this just a temporary relief rally?

Another layer of pressure is created by the new dividend policy, which is marketed as a means of stretching income, but actually creates a recurring cash commitment, while the underlying asset Bitcoin is still volatile and far below recent highs.Paying large dividends while depending on market-driven appreciation, according to critics, creates a vicious cycle in which new capital might be needed to maintain the balance sheet and shareholder expectations.The timing is problematic from the standpoint of the market. The price of Bitcoin is trapped below important moving averages on its daily chart, and the 100- and 200-day trends are still declining. Recent triangular formations indicate indecision rather than strength, and attempts to stabilize have only resulted in temporary consolidation.Relying on Bitcoin heavilyInstead of emphasizing confident accumulation, high volume spikes during drops emphasize defensive positioning. Strategy's sizable treasury position may experience more mark-to-market stress if Bitcoin is unable to recover significant resistance zones.Because returns seem to be becoming more and more reliant on constant inflows, critics have compared the structure to a Ponzi scheme, though this isn't necessarily because it fits the strict definition.According to this perspective, dividends might appear less like an organic yield and more like a mechanism that needs fresh funding or rising asset values to stay afloat. Raising capital may become more costly, and debt refinancing risks would become significant if cryptocurrency sentiment continues to decline.Proponents argue that the approach is still straightforward: structured financial engineering combined with long-term exposure to Bitcoin. According to their argument, past downturns have ultimately rewarded patience, and volatility is only temporary.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"83042":0.6,"BTC":1.91,"BITO":0.6,"BITX":0.6}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":369,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":["BTC.USD.CC","BTC.USD.HKCC"],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":288,"optionInvolvedFlag":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/538075815027408"}
