MARA Holdings (MARA)<\/strong> released their 4Q results <\/strong>this evening, but it’s difficult <\/b><\/font>to find an income statement<\/strong>, balance sheet<\/strong>, statement of cash flows<\/strong>, shares outstanding<\/strong>, etc. It doesn’t<\/strong><\/span> look like they even filed a 10-K<\/strong> yet. What is going on here???<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Michael Saylor<\/strong> has brainwashed<\/span> MicroStrategy (MSTR) investors<\/strong> into believing their outstanding convertible notes<\/strong> are risk<\/strong><\/span> free<\/strong><\/span> and MARA Holdings (MARA)<\/strong> investors<\/strong> believe the same.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The conversion prices<\/strong> of these notes<\/strong> allow the debt holders<\/strong><\/span> to convert<\/strong><\/span> to shares<\/strong> in the event that the share price appreciates<\/span><\/strong> to the upside<\/strong><\/span>… however, if the share price<\/strong> of MSTR<\/strong> and\/or MARA declines<\/span><\/strong> they are under no<\/span> obligation<\/strong> to convert<\/strong><\/span> the notes<\/strong>. At the time of maturity<\/strong>, or even before<\/span> maturity<\/strong> if undisclosed<\/span> conditions take place<\/span><\/strong> (like Bitcoin declining below<\/span><\/strong> a certain price), they can demand <\/strong><\/span>to be repaid cash<\/strong><\/span> in full<\/strong><\/span>. MSTR’s software business<\/strong> is very small<\/strong><\/span>, and MARA’s Bitcoin mining operations<\/strong> aren’t <\/strong><\/span>consistently<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>profitable<\/strong><\/span>. MARA<\/strong> reported a 4Q profit<\/span><\/strong> but without<\/strong><\/span> a 10-K<\/strong> being filed they are making it difficult <\/b><\/font>(on purpose) for investors to see if all of the profit<\/strong><\/span> came from their increasingly<\/span> less <\/span>liquid<\/span> Bitcoin<\/strong> being revalued higher<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

At some point, all Bitcoin<\/strong> held by MSTR<\/strong> and MARA<\/strong> will be sold<\/strong><\/span> to pay off<\/strong><\/span> the convertible note holders<\/strong>. The remaining<\/span> balance<\/strong> after all of their Bitcoin<\/strong> gets sold<\/strong><\/span> will most likely be paid in severely dilutive<\/span> stock issuances<\/span><\/strong> at share prices 95% below<\/span><\/strong> today’s closing prices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Although their “Bitcoin yield”<\/strong> calculations take into account assumed dilution<\/strong><\/span> if convertible note holders<\/strong> convert <\/strong><\/span>into shares<\/strong>, these conversion prices<\/strong> are typically at 40% premiums<\/strong><\/span> above<\/strong><\/span> the share price<\/strong> when the notes<\/strong> are issued<\/strong><\/span>, and conversion<\/strong> can only be forced<\/strong><\/span> by the company if the price per share<\/strong> is 30% above<\/strong><\/span> those conversion prices<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

MSTR<\/strong> and MARA refuse<\/span><\/strong> to publicly disclose<\/strong><\/span> the full contractual terms<\/strong> of these convertible debt instruments<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

MARA<\/strong> included the following disclaimer in their earnings presentation <\/strong>published this evening, “BTC Yield represents the percentage change period-to-period of the ratio between the Company’s bitcoin holdings and its Assumed Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding. Assumed Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding refers to the aggregate of the Company’s actual shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of each period plus all additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes, exercise of all outstanding warrants, and settlement of all outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units. Assumed Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury method and does not take into account any vesting conditions (in the case of equity awards), the exercise price of any warrants or any contractual conditions limiting convertibility of convertible debt instruments.”<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

We have discovered many<\/span> companies<\/strong> using exactly the same<\/span> disclaimer<\/strong> including Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS)<\/strong> which recently announced that it achieved<\/strong><\/span> a “1,649% BTC Yield in Q4 2024”<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Why buy<\/strong><\/span> gold mining\/exploration stocks<\/strong><\/span> if you can get 1,649% BTC yield<\/strong> in a single quarter? See what’s going on here!?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Michael Saylor<\/strong> is behind all of these companies doing exactly the same<\/strong><\/span> thing. Saylor <\/strong>has turned Bitcoin<\/strong> into a Ponzi <\/strong><\/span>that goes way beyond<\/strong><\/span> Tether printing<\/span> USDT<\/strong> out of thin air<\/strong><\/span>! There are multiple<\/span> layers<\/strong> of Bitcoin Ponzinomics<\/span><\/strong> all built on top<\/strong><\/span> of one another… and this is nothing<\/strong><\/span> compared to the hundreds of social media influencers<\/strong> conducting<\/strong><\/span> Solana meme coin rug pulls<\/span><\/strong> on a daily basis stealing<\/strong><\/span> millions of dollars <\/strong><\/span>from their followers!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Sol Strategies (CSE: HODL) declined by 7.78%<\/span><\/strong> today to $2.37 per share<\/strong> and has already collapsed by 42.62%<\/strong><\/span> since NIA’s warning<\/span><\/strong> last week at $4.13 per share<\/strong>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Jeff Bezos<\/strong> cares more<\/strong><\/span> about freedom<\/strong><\/span> and liberty<\/strong><\/span> than <\/span>creepy<\/span> Michael Saylor<\/strong>. Bezos tweeted<\/span><\/strong> on X<\/strong> last night in regard to the Washington Post<\/strong>, “I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

When companies issue <\/strong><\/span>debt<\/strong><\/span> to buy<\/span> Bitcoin<\/strong> or when people buy<\/span> Bitcoin<\/strong> through an ETF<\/strong>, they are removing<\/span> Bitcoin<\/strong> from the market<\/strong> that could otherwise be used as a digital currency<\/strong> in decentralized<\/span> transactions<\/strong>. It is these decentralized<\/span> transactions<\/strong> that give Bitcoin<\/strong> value! If all Bitcoin<\/strong> is held<\/strong><\/span> by “investors”<\/strong> and no longer<\/strong><\/span> gets used<\/strong><\/span> as a currency<\/strong>… it has no<\/span> value<\/strong>! This isn’t<\/strong><\/span> what Satoshi envisioned<\/span><\/strong>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

See why President Trump<\/strong> and Elon Musk<\/strong> are pivoting<\/strong><\/span> to gold<\/strong><\/span>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
