This interview podcast focuses on MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy and its implications for investors. The hosts discuss MicroStrategy's massive $42 billion capital plan to acquire more Bitcoin through equity issuance and convertible debt, analyzing the impact on the company's leverage ratio and Bitcoin yield (both enterprise-level and per-share). The discussion includes an explanation of "capturing the spread," a strategy where MicroStrategy issues equity at a premium to its Bitcoin holdings, effectively buying Bitcoin at a discount. A key takeaway is the significant increase in MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings and the resulting impact on its stock volatility, attracting a large pool of options traders. The podcast also touches upon the potential for future convertible debt issuances and the implications of upcoming accounting changes.
