MARA's management is clearly clueless, having sold 25% of its bitcoin after a 25–30% drop while sitting years behind peers in the AI data-center transition. The company could be really undervalued if management got it together, but there are much better places for capital unless it cleans house or sells to an operator that can manage the assets better. A renewed bitcoin rally could warrant another look. x.com  x.com  x.com 

MARA lacks vision because CEO Fred Thiel keeps bouncing between strategies, from bitcoin treasury company to AI data-center play. Per @Tsuff101, he opposed the AI pivot and bought tens of thousands of bitcoin during the treasury hype, only for MARA to later sell 20K BTC around $60K, and now sounds more bullish on AI infrastructure than mining. He is late to the space, and his turning bullish is if anything a contrarian signal. x.com 

IREN's management behavior is a reason to avoid the stock. A post the author replies to says it keeps diluting, issuing more shares on every rally, a pattern that leaves no telling what else it will spring on investors. x.com 

IREN's governance is a red flag: it put a FinX influencer, Mike Alfred, on its board to shill the stock while continuously diluting shareholders through ATM offerings. It also acquired a PR company. Per @aleabitoreddit, IREN faces endless dilution like BKKT, ASST and SLNH, and Alfred has promoted every one of them. There is never a good reason to put an influencer on a board other than to have the stock promoted. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Snap shows that dilution does matter to shareholders over the long term. x.com 

IREN is one to avoid, as lack of transparency and poor overall management add to its valuation, dilution, capital, execution and customer-concentration risks. Secondhand accounts suggest the earnings call was far from reassuring and left more questions than answers. x.com 

Soluna Holdings is a terrible long because it is diluting shareholders massively, with about $1 billion of dilution, including an active $500M ATM, against a market cap of roughly $200M. That ATM sells into the open market whenever retail buys, likely diluting buyers toward zero while management touts the bigger balance sheet and awards itself stock compensation. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

IREN's acquisition of creative agency Awaken is a strange use of capital after billions of dollars of dilution in recent months, even if little of that money goes to this deal. It should be buying GPUs, not publicity, and will likely pay a premium for the agency. x.com  x.com  x.com
