Coinbase and Strategy amplify every move bitcoin and Ethereum make, making them the most asymmetric way to buy the crypto crash while the crowd sells. Their Wave 3 targets are $676 for Coinbase and $952 for Strategy. x.com

Strategy is attracting some of the world's largest fund managers because they want Bitcoin exposure. Their buying supports the bullish case for MSTR as a listed vehicle for institutional Bitcoin demand. x.com
Strategy is early below 1.5x its bitcoin net asset value, and the crowded short-Strategy, long-bitcoin trade is about to blow up, setting off short covering. Upcoming catalysts include STRC trading back at par, an Iran resolution with no rate hikes, and a momentum rotation into crypto after its underperformance relative to overpriced and crowded AI and software stocks. x.com
Strategy's latest share sale sets up another bitcoin bid but keeps diluting MSTR holders until buying restarts. It sold 18.26M MSTR shares for about $2B: $136M to buy back STRC, $300M to the dividend reserve and $1.59B to a flexible cash pool that can buy bitcoin. Its BTC sale near $64K repaired the financing machine after STRC fell below $100; it was not a bearish call. Meanwhile more shares chase the same 840,447 BTC. Watch STRC reclaiming $100 (now $97) and where the $1.59B goes. x.com
Coinbase stands to gain as crypto gears up for a massive move very soon, with the breakout setup looking prime. x.com
Heavy inflows could lift Strive's mNAV above Strategy's for periods because they have more impact on the smaller company. Strive could do even better than 6x versus Strategy's 4x, as investors seek the faster Bitcoin treasury stock. x.com x.com x.com
Strategy is in the worst possible position, with Michael Saylor now down $13.7 billion, about 20%, on its bitcoin bet. STRC needs money to be rescued, and selling bitcoin to fund it would hurt both bitcoin and Strategy badly. Only a sudden sharp bitcoin rally looks able to save it. x.com
Strategy is breaking out of a long consolidation as bitcoin surges, with upside gap fills at $140-$145 and $170-$175. Rising moving averages support the next leg, and a large positive vanna exposure cluster, including $8.6M at the $175 gap for the January 15, 2027 expiry, should act as a price magnet. Dealer positioning at the $150 and $200 strikes adds to the runway. x.com x.com
Strategy is at its core leveraged Bitcoin, so a 3x Bitcoin move to $200K should send Strategy up 4-5x from here. x.com
Strategy is a disclosed Ponzi that is now unwinding, with much more downside ahead and an eventual path to zero. As bitcoin-treasury hype fades, raising money to keep the scheme going gets harder, while interest costs keep accumulating on instruments such as its STRC preferred. That liquidity drain is what will take Strategy down. x.com
Strategy's accretive Bitcoin accumulation has raised net backing per share, lowering the premium needed to revisit its $543 intraday high. At $98,000 Bitcoin, backing rose from $127 to $160 since November 2024, cutting the required net mNAV from 4.3x to 3.4x. A 2.5x premium at $200,000-$250,000 Bitcoin would imply roughly $896-$1,131; 2.5x is plausible at peak euphoria, not expected at $126,000. Premiums depend on Bitcoin momentum and sentiment, which Strategy cannot control. x.com x.com
