The Bitcoin Cheat Code | Mark Moss — Key Takeaways
Build a Bitcoin treasury system using debt, tax depreciation, and asset-backed borrowing to route 100% of earned income into Bitcoin tax-free — wages cannot outpace incoming inflation, only assets can.
Key takeaways
MSTR trades at exactly 2x Bitcoin volatility — 60% down vs BTC's 30% drop, as the market expects
MSTR trades at exactly 2x Bitcoin volatility — 60% down vs BTC's 30% drop, as the market expects
- Sailor told dinner guests: if he had hedged MSTR before a crash, shareholders would have been angry — they price in 2x leverage and demand that volatility profile.
- Most smaller treasury companies are 80-90% down, partly due to speculative pre-raise price pumps on already-public shells, not operational failure.
Borrow no more than 30-40% LTV at BTC cycle peaks; 60-70% only near 200-day moving average lows
Borrow no more than 30-40% LTV at BTC cycle peaks; 60-70% only near 200-day moving average lows
- At 60% LTV, a 50% BTC drawdown pushes you to 120% LTV — margin call or forced liquidation unless you hold liquid reserves in layers 1-3.
- Four liquidity layers to stress-test before borrowing: operating capital (3-6 months expenses), cash equivalents (e.g. STRK at 11%), collateral assets, illiquid assets.

- Sailor confirmed he has never targeted Bitcoiners; MSTR preferred shares are equity instruments, not bonds — most fixed income funds legally cannot buy them.
- There are 10,000 bonds in the US alone because each has a different risk/duration/yield profile; Bitcoin treasury companies fill the same structural role on a Bitcoin standard.
