In partnership with

Hey, Happy Sunday!

This week’s crypto landscape is a mix of consolidation and strategic moves. Bitcoin is holding steady above $100,000, with institutions like MicroStrategy and Trump Media making significant plays.

Let's dive into the details.

MARKET SNAPSHOT

As of June 6, 2025, Bitcoin is trading around $104,755, having dipped below $105,000 amid ongoing market volatility. Despite this, the overall trend remains bullish, with predictions suggesting a potential rise to $118,078.77 in the near term.

INSTITUTIONAL ACTION: MICROSTRATEGY & STRIDE

MicroStrategy has launched its third perpetual preferred instrument, the Series A Stride Preferred Stock (STRD), offering a 10% non-cumulative fixed dividend.  This move aims to provide long-term, high-yield exposure and fund further Bitcoin

Meanwhile, Trump Media & Technology Group has filed to launch the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, seeking to capitalize on the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.  The ETF will be managed with the support of Yorkville Advisors and aims to attract investments aligned with the company's political agenda.

INCOME FUNDS: BITCOIN THAT PAYS YOU

The concept of income shares is gaining traction, investment vehicles that generate yield through covered calls or active options strategies on Bitcoin-linked stocks.

One example is the MSTY fund by MicroStrategy, distributing between 5-8% monthly based on options premiums.

Yes that’s monthly. In fact over the last 12 months this fund has distributed 141% to shareholders and there are plenty more like this too.

That means if you believe in Bitcoin’s long-term value, you no longer have to sell it to unlock value. You can now generate income while holding your long-term bag.

This is where we’re heading:

• Bitcoin as pristine collateral

• Options and structured products creating yield

• Long-term holders getting paid to wait

It’s early. But this is a glimpse of what the next wave of crypto-finance looks like.

5-8% per month will cover most people’s mortgages and living costs on a smaller investment than you might think. This could really change the game.

THE EDGE THAT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

Let’s talk about patience.

I read something recently: “The most important quality an investor can have is patience.”

Not intelligence. Not speed. Not having the perfect entry.
Patience.

This game (if you buy into the Bitcoin thesis) is about understanding what you own.

Here’s the thesis, restated:

• Bitcoin is the hardest money ever created

• It has absolute scarcity (21 million coins)

• It is permissionless, decentralised, and secure

• It is gaining adoption at all levels: retail, institutional, and now sovereign

• And it is becoming the base layer for a new financial system

If you believe that, your only job is to hold.

Yes, the market will pull back.
Yes, there will be noise.
Yes, there will be temptation to sell and chase the next shiny thing.

But those who win in crypto are the ones who can wait.

Time in the market > timing the market.

We’ve seen this play out in every cycle.
The patient get wealthy.
The impatient get distracted.

Hold tight.
Your future self will thank you.

See you next week.
