Abstract

**Artículo:** El director de inversiones de Bitwise: la fuerte caída de STRC es una señal de fondo, el mercado alcista comenzará en otoño **Autor:** Matt Hougan, CIO de Bitwise La reciente caída del precio de Bitcoin por debajo de los 60.000 USD, alcanzando un mínimo en 2024, tuvo como desencadenante principal las acciones preferentes perpetuas STRC emitidas por la empresa MicroStrategy. Este producto, diseñado para ofrecer altos dividendos y estabilidad de precio alrededor de 100 USD, atrajo 105 mil millones de dólares de inversionistas, fondos que la compañía usó para acumular Bitcoin. La preocupación del mercado sobre la capacidad de MicroStrategy para mantener los dividendos hizo que el precio de STRC se desplomara hasta 75 USD. Aunque la empresa tiene un balance sólido (496 mil millones en Bitcoin, 26 mil millones en efectivo), el temor a una suspensión de pagos generó pánico. MicroStrategy respondió anunciando un nuevo marco operativo: venderá parte de su Bitcoin para pagar dividendos, permitirá que STRC flote libremente y considerará recompras en el mercado secundario. Esto marca un cambio fundamental: MicroStrategy ya no será solo un comprador unilateral de Bitcoin, sino que operará de manera más dinámica comprando y vendiendo según las condiciones del mercado. Según el análisis de Bitwise, la turbulencia de STRC y la corrección de las acciones de MicroStrategy (MSTR) son características típicas del final de un ciclo, donde el exceso de apalancamiento y los instr...

La semana pasada, el precio de Bitcoin cayó por debajo de los 60,000 dólares, alcanzando un nuevo mínimo para el año 2024. Las razones de esta caída son varias, pero el principal detonante fue la acción preferente perpetua STRC emitida por la empresa MicroStrategy.

He recibido muchas preguntas de clientes sobre STRC y MSTR. Dado que reflejan la fase del ciclo en la que nos encontramos, me gustaría responderlas aquí.

¿Qué es STRC?

STRC es un producto de acciones preferentes lanzado por MicroStrategy el año pasado, diseñado inicialmente para ofrecer a los inversores un alto rendimiento, manteniendo un precio estable en o cerca de su valor nominal de 100 dólares.

Al inicio de la emisión, STRC ofrecía un dividendo anualizado del 9%. Para mantener el precio objetivo de 100 dólares, la empresa declaró que si el precio de mercado caía por debajo de 100 dólares, aumentaría el dividendo entre un 0.25% y un 0.5%. Un mayor rendimiento atraería compradores, impulsando el precio de vuelta a su valor nominal de 100 dólares.

Este mecanismo funcionó inicialmente. MicroStrategy aumentó gradualmente el dividendo hasta el 11.5%, y el precio de STRC se mantuvo durante mucho tiempo cerca de los 100 dólares. Este producto de alto rendimiento y aparentemente sin riesgo fue muy popular, atrayendo un total de 10,500 millones de dólares de inversores. La empresa utilizó todos los fondos recaudados para adquirir más Bitcoin.

En las últimas semanas, el precio de Bitcoin y las acciones de MSTR se debilitaron simultáneamente, lo que generó preocupación en el mercado sobre la capacidad y voluntad de MicroStrategy para pagar los dividendos de STRC. El precio de STRC cayó en picado, alcanzando un mínimo de 75 dólares.

¿Es racional el pánico de los inversores?

Sí y no.

Desde la perspectiva del balance general, los fundamentos de la empresa son muy sólidos: posee Bitcoin por valor de 49,600 millones de dólares, 2,600 millones en efectivo, con una deuda total de 6,800 millones y acciones preferentes por un total de 15,500 millones. Si vendiera todo su Bitcoin ahora, los fondos obtenidos serían suficientes para cubrir todos los pagos de dividendos durante los próximos 28 años.

Sin embargo, la discrepancia central radica en si la empresa optará por suspender los dividendos. MicroStrategy tiene el derecho de suspender unilateralmente los dividendos de STRC; los dividendos simplemente se acumulan y no existe una obligación vinculante de pagarlos de inmediato. La continua caída del Bitcoin generó preocupación en el mercado sobre la presión en el flujo de caja de la empresa y la posibilidad de que suspendiera los dividendos en cualquier momento, desatando así el pánico.

¿Finalmente suspendió la empresa los dividendos?

No lo hizo.

El lunes de esta semana, MicroStrategy anunció un nuevo marco operativo: la empresa venderá oportunamente parte de su Bitcoin específicamente para pagar los dividendos. Además, la empresa ya no mantendrá el precio nominal de 100 dólares aumentando los dividendos, permitiendo que STRC cotice libremente; también podría recomprar STRC en el mercado secundario.

Tras el anuncio, los precios de MSTR y STRC se recuperaron significativamente.

¿Por qué MicroStrategy no simplemente aumentó los dividendos para sostener el precio?

El aumento necesario en los dividendos para recuperar el valor nominal de 100 dólares se habría vuelto insosteniblemente alto.

El plan inicial de la empresa era realizar ajustes menores en la tasa para estabilizar el precio de las acciones, pero cuando STRC cayó a 75 dólares, el rendimiento efectivo en el mercado ya era del 15.4%. Para reparar el precio hasta el valor nominal solo mediante aumentos de la tasa, la tasa de dividendo nominal necesitaría subir casi 4 puntos porcentuales, del 11.5% al 15.4%.

Incluso con un aumento de tasa, el efecto podría no ser ideal. Un aumento significativo en los dividendos podría exacerbar las dudas del mercado: ¿cómo podría la empresa sostener pagos de dividendos tan altos? Esto podría, de hecho, desencadenar una nueva ronda de ventas.

La brecha entre el precio de 75 dólares y el valor nominal de 100 dólares es demasiado grande para ser cerrada a corto plazo mediante aumentos de dividendos.

Bajo el nuevo marco, ¿podrá STRC volver a 100 dólares?

No necesariamente. La empresa ya no depende de mecanismos institucionalizados para anclar el precio a 100 dólares; aunque el dividendo oficial se ha aumentado al 12%, solo si el precio de Bitcoin experimenta un aumento significativo es posible que STRC vuelva a los 100 dólares.

¿Qué significan todos estos cambios?

Las opiniones del mercado están muy divididas, pero en mi opinión, el papel de MicroStrategy en el mercado de Bitcoin ha cambiado fundamentalmente.

Durante muchos años, fue el mayor comprador de Bitcoin del mundo, proporcionando continuamente presión de compra unilateral al mercado. Esa etapa probablemente haya terminado. En el futuro, la empresa comprará y venderá Bitcoin dinámicamente según las condiciones del mercado, ya no solo comprará.

Es importante aclarar: no creo que MicroStrategy realice ventas masivas. No existen cláusulas obligatorias que la fuercen a liquidar decenas de miles de millones de dólares en Bitcoin anualmente; una vez que Bitcoin entre en un mercado alcista, es muy probable que MicroStrategy vuelva a ser un comprador neto.

Simplemente, en el próximo ciclo, la influencia de MicroStrategy en el precio de Bitcoin será mucho menor que en el ciclo anterior.

¿Quién reemplazará a MicroStrategy como el mayor comprador incremental de Bitcoin?

El capital institucional.

En la historia del desarrollo de Bitcoin, los principales compradores del mercado han ido evolucionando: cypherpunks, inversores asiáticos, minoristas estadounidenses, el fondo fiduciario GBTC de Grayscale, MSTR han tomado sucesivamente el liderazgo. Creo que el núcleo del próximo impulso alcista será el capital institucional diverso —bancos globales, gestores de activos, fondos de pensiones, fondos de dotación, fondos soberanos de riqueza, asesores financieros independientes— que poseen los grupos de capital más grandes del mundo.

Varias señales ya confirman esta tendencia. Morgan Stanley lanzó recientemente su propio ETF de Bitcoin, Wells Fargo incorporó Bitcoin a su modelo estándar de asignación de activos; el año pasado, Texas se convirtió en el primer estado de EE.UU. en establecer una reserva estratégica de Bitcoin; varios fondos soberanos y bancos nacionales ya han asignado Bitcoin o iniciado proyectos de investigación relacionados. Aunque los ETF de Bitcoin de 2026 experimentaron salidas de capital, desde su lanzamiento en 2024 hasta ahora han tenido entradas netas acumuladas de más de 50,000 millones de dólares, y las principales plataformas de asesoramiento financiero ya han listado productos relacionados.

¿Existe riesgo de liquidación forzosa para MicroStrategy?

Según los datos actuales, no existe en absoluto. Todas las teorías sobre liquidación y colapso no se ajustan a la lógica financiera. Como se mencionó antes, los activos líquidos de la empresa ascienden a 52,000 millones de dólares, mientras que la deuda total es de solo 7,000 millones. El Bitcoin tendría que caer más del 70% y mantenerse bajo durante mucho tiempo para que la empresa enfrente una crisis de supervivencia.

Los escépticos del mercado consideran que la presión de pago de más de 15,000 millones en acciones preferentes es un lastre a largo plazo, pero en situaciones extremas, la empresa podría optar por suspender los dividendos de las acciones preferentes, manteniendo el riesgo bajo control.

¿En qué fase del ciclo se encuentra actualmente el mercado?

La volatilidad extrema de STRC, combinada con el ajuste en el precio de MSTR, son características típicas del final de un ciclo. Todos los mercados financieros, incluido el cripto, siguen una lógica de ciclo alcista/bajista altamente unificada: primero aparece un mercado alcista; luego los inversores se vuelven codiciosos y apalancan, surgiendo numerosos instrumentos financieros derivados; aparece un punto de riesgo que hace que el mercado revierta; el mercado se limpia, expulsando todo el apalancamiento excesivo, y solo entonces aparece el verdadero fondo.

STRC es un producto típico del apalancamiento financiero en este ciclo: el capital que busca un rendimiento alto y estable fluyó hacia STRC, y la empresa utilizó ese dinero para comprar Bitcoin. En términos simples, un grupo de capital que buscaba un rendimiento estable con baja volatilidad terminó fluyendo hacia un activo altamente volátil como el Bitcoin.

Este tipo de capital es inherentemente incompatible con las características del activo Bitcoin y debe salir del mercado para que se complete la limpieza y el mercado encuentre su fondo. Actualmente estamos en ese proceso.

El mercado cripto ha vivido exactamente la misma historia antes. Durante el mercado alcista de 2019–2021, el fondo fiduciario GBTC cotizó con una prima significativa y prolongada sobre el valor neto del Bitcoin subyacente. Las instituciones podían suscribir GBTC a la par, bloquearlo durante seis meses y luego venderlo en el mercado secundario con una prima del 20%–50%, atrayendo una gran cantidad de capital hacia Bitcoin y dando lugar a varios instrumentos financieros complejos. A partir de 2021, la prima del fondo desapareció rápidamente, varias herramientas de apalancamiento se retiraron simultáneamente y el mercado tocó fondo.

Es probable que este ciclo siga el mismo camino.

¿Cuándo llegará el fondo del mercado?

No puedo dar una fecha exacta. Nadie puede predecir con precisión el fondo, solo se puede confirmar claramente en retrospectiva.

Pero se pueden rastrear algunas señales precursoras clave del fondo: Primero, el precio de MSTR cae por debajo de su Valor Neto del Activo (NAV), negociando con descuento, lo que representa una transición completa del sentimiento del mercado de la codicia al pánico extremo, una señal clara de que el fondo está cerca. Segundo, el Índice de Miedo y Codicia Cripto cae a mínimos históricos, entrando en una zona de pánico extremo, momento en el que presenta valor para posicionarse. Tercero, la tasa de financiación de los contratos de Bitcoin se mantiene persistentemente negativa, mostrando que el sentimiento de los minoristas es mucho más bajista que alcista, con un pesimismo total en el mercado.

En resumen: solo cuando el mercado cae hasta un pesimismo extremo, aparece la oportunidad de reversión.

Actualmente, el mercado está en proceso de limpieza. La volatilidad en cadena desencadenada por STRC es una parte necesaria del ciclo. Cada ciclo cripto pasa por esta etapa dolorosa pero necesaria de desapalancamiento.

A medida que el mercado continúe ajustándose y limpiándose, creo firmemente que el fondo está muy cerca y que un nuevo mercado alcista comenzará este otoño.

Trump, the President Who Knows Best How to 'Trade Stocks'

Former US President Donald Trump reported a record-breaking $2.2 billion in personal income for 2025, the highest annual income ever disclosed by a sitting president. This figure, from a 927-page government ethics filing, represented a 3.5-fold increase from his $600 million income in 2024 and boosted his net worth to $6.5 billion. The primary drivers were cryptocurrency (64% of income, approximately $1.4 billion) and real estate (26%, approximately $575 million). His crypto earnings stemmed largely from the launch of his personal meme coin, $TRUMP, generating over $600 million in licensing fees, and substantial profits from the WLFI token and its parent company. Despite a sluggish property market, his Mar-a-Lago resort and associated golf clubs saw revenue surges of 50% and 27%, respectively, attributed to their use as venues for presidential events. Trump's financial disclosure also revealed an unprecedented level of stock market activity, with over 22,000 trades executed in 2025, averaging 87 trades per market day. Media analyses noted several instances where significant trading coincided with major policy announcements, such as proposed tariffs, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. While the White House stated these trades were handled by a family-managed trust fund and not Trump directly, critics highlighted this as a departure from the blind trusts traditionally used by presidents post-Watergate. The report has intensified debate over the commercialization of the presidency. Supporters view it as a success story of a businessman-president, while critics argue it demonstrates an unprecedented conversion of public influence into private wealth, with policy decisions potentially linked to personal financial gains. The controversy centers on whether Trump's earnings represent innovative entrepreneurship or a fundamental conflict of interest, sparking renewed calls for stricter ethics reforms in US governance.

Countdown to Q-Day: Will Quantum Computing End Cryptocurrencies?

The article explores the existential threat quantum computing poses to cryptocurrencies and the urgent need for "post-quantum" migration. It outlines that quantum computers, through Shor's algorithm, could break the elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) underlying blockchain security, potentially allowing private keys to be derived from public keys. The core challenge is not a lack of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards—like NIST's ML-KEM and ML-DSA—but the immense complexity of upgrading entire ecosystems before "Q-Day" (when quantum computers become capable of such attacks, estimated around 2035-2045). Key points include: * **Bitcoin's** risk is concentrated in legacy UTXOs with exposed public keys (e.g., early P2PK outputs). Migration faces massive hurdles: PQC signatures are much larger, increasing transaction size and cost, and the governance dilemma of handling un-migrated assets threatens its "code is law" ethos. * **Ethereum's** strategy focuses on "cryptographic agility," using Account Abstraction for user accounts and developing compressed hash-based signatures (like leanXMSS with SNARK aggregation) for consensus. Its migration is a complex, full-stack overhaul of execution, consensus, and data layers. * The "security debt" is enormous. The comfortable engineering window for a coordinated, ecosystem-wide upgrade is only 5-8 years. High-value infrastructure (exchanges, bridges) may face pressure before mainnet protocols. In conclusion, quantum computing is not an instant "doomsday" event but a forcing function for systemic change. Bitcoin's ultimate test is social consensus and property rights governance, while Ethereum's is technical complexity. Failure to migrate in time could lead to a fundamental re-pricing of crypto assets.

Strategy executes first Bitcoin sale under new treasury framework to fund dividends

Strategy has sold 3,588 Bitcoin for approximately $216 million, executing its newly adopted Digital Credit Capital Framework for the first time. The sale was conducted to fund dividends on the company's Digital Credit securities. This transaction reduced Strategy's Bitcoin holdings to 843,775 BTC. The recently introduced framework authorizes limited Bitcoin sales to support corporate purposes like building U.S. dollar reserves, paying dividends, and funding share repurchases, while aiming to preserve the company's long-term Bitcoin exposure. This move represents a strategic shift, integrating Bitcoin as a source of liquidity within its treasury management, rather than a departure from its accumulation strategy.

Losing $55 Million to Sell Bitcoin, MicroStrategy's Faith Reaches Its Interest Payment Day

On July 6th, Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy announced the sale of 3,588 BTC for approximately $216 million, incurring a realized loss of around $55.45 million compared to its average cost basis. This move, contradicting Saylor's long-standing "never sell" Bitcoin philosophy, was executed to pay dividends on its digital credit securities. The article traces this shift from a small "desensitization test" sale of 32 BTC in late May to the board's authorization on June 30th to sell up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin for corporate purposes like dividends and buybacks. Analysis reveals that MicroStrategy's previous growth "flywheel"—using stock premiums to fund more Bitcoin purchases—has stalled. With its stock trading near a critical threshold (1.22x its Bitcoin NAV), issuing new shares would dilute value. Simultaneously, its financing channels (preferred stock, common stock ATM, convertible notes) are constrained while facing rigid annual dividend/interest obligations of roughly $1.76 billion. Consequently, selling Bitcoin became the calculated "optimal solution" under its own financial model. This transforms MicroStrategy from crypto's most prominent steady buyer into a predictable seller, creating a potential overhead of ~2,400 BTC in monthly selling pressure if obligations are fully covered by sales. This shift challenges the valuation models of the entire Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) sector that emulated MicroStrategy. The company's path forward now hinges on Bitcoin's price recovery, which would allow its preferred stock to trade at par and reopen its financing flywheel, creating a cyclical dependency between the firm's financial model and the asset it holds.

OUSD Fake Partnership Controversy? Stablecoins and the Credit Game of Giant Endorsements

Author: Chloe, ChainCatcher Last week, Open Standard launched the dollar stablecoin OpenUSD (OUSD) with a list of over 140 supposedly supporting companies, including major names like Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, American Express, BlackRock, BNY, Standard Chartered, Google, Shopify, Samsung, Coinbase, Solana, and Ripple. The announcement initially impacted Circle's stock price, but doubts about the list quickly emerged. Several Korean firms named, including Samsung Electronics, Shinhan Financial Group, Dunamu (Upbit's parent), and K Bank, clarified they had not formally agreed to join the alliance. Some stated they were only approached for potential interest or learned of their inclusion from news reports, expressing surprise. Similar concerns were raised by U.S. entities, suggesting the list may be misleading. OUSD, led by Zach Abrams of Bridge (acquired by Stripe in 2024), promotes zero-fee minting/redemption, no transaction limits, and sharing reserve asset yields with partners instead of keeping profits. However, this model makes listed partnership imply economic benefits, turning it into a serious credibility issue. This incident reflects a common crypto marketing tactic of leveraging big names. A Chainstory analysis found over 62% of crypto press releases in late 2025 were high-risk or scams. The situation recalls Facebook's Libra (later Diem), which collapsed in 2022 after initial heavyweight backers like Visa and PayPal withdrew under regulatory pressure. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire welcomed the competition but highlighted the challenges. He argued stablecoin success relies on network effects and real usage, not just alliances. He criticized OUSD's "free" model and full revenue sharing as potentially starving infrastructure development. Noting the dominance of USDT (~$1.84T) and USDC (~$730B) in the ~$2.91T stablecoin market, he suggested many new entrants lack real utility despite inflated circulation from incentives. In conclusion, while OUSD has genuine backing and a distinct model, its future depends on actual adoption in B2B payments, settlements, and cross-border transactions, not just a prestigious partner list. The market will determine if it is a credible challenger or merely another marketing promise.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions.
