This afternoon I testified at the Texas Senate Committee on Business and Commerce hearing in favor of SB 21, to establish a Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Thank you @DrSchwertner for introducing the bill, @LtGovTX for making it a legislative priority, and @DonnaCampbellTX for asking great questions about Bitcoin custody and security.

Can we get an update?
Strategy's balance sheet today:
-848,517 $BTC worth $68.5B
-$6.7B of convertible debt
-$5.3B of cash
-$13.5B of preferreds
Net debt = $1.4B, roughly 2% of its Bitcoin.
Even including the preferreds, its Bitcoin covers everything 4.6x over.
The $MSTR FUD was out of control.
Every investor should learn how to read a balance sheet.

He’s wrong for the USA, and especially for Texas.
If we get a D POTUS in ‘29, it will fall to the US Senate to block: stacking the court, cheating again on 2030 census, expropriating, and breaking our republic for a generation.
Make sure you vote, and tell friends - it matters!
Every word is James Talarico’s.

“God is non-binary.”
“…many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.”
“If you deny your child’s gender identity… it’s abusive for sure.”
“There’s only one person who can determine a child’s gender identity, and that’s the child.”
“I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.”
“…the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children… All these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.”
“The way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is how I will fight for the U.S. Senate, and my position hasn’t changed.”
“Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness.”
“It’s always rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits…”
“Prison is violence.”
“Tear down this secret police force.”
Assault weapons ban? “Absolutely.”
Send this to 10 Texas voters and tell them to vote today.

No son nuestros hombres.
Una ONG entregó restos humanos en el aeropuerto, asegurando que pertenecían a nuestros cuatro aerotécnicos.
Sin embargo, los restos corresponden a un niño, a un hombre de una estatura considerablemente mayor que la de nuestros aerotécnicos y a una persona que portaba parte de un uniforme de un ejército que no es el nuestro.
Entre los restos también se encontraron carnets de identificación y uniformes militares de otros países.

This is truly impeccable execution.
Less than a year ago, $ASST had an enterprise value of around $500 million.
Today it is approaching $5 billion.
How did they do it?
They acquired Semler Scientific and paid off its debt.
They grew SATA into a $1.4 billion perpetual preferred.
They raised $630 million through the SATS IPO.
They also more than 6x'd their Bitcoin holdings from 5,958 to 36,818 BTC, with the SATS proceeds set to push that even higher.
Imagine what they can do in a Bitcoin bull market.

Anthropic prépare une introduction en bourse à 1500 milliards, et Open AI à 1200 milliards.
Mais d’après cet universitaire en pantalon cerise, c’est la fin du capitalisme parce que quelques racailles ont mis le feu à des poubelles.
Franchement il y a de quoi rire.
"C’est du pain béni pour LFI : on assiste à la fin du capitalisme qui tente de se maintenir par la force de la matraque. L’alternative, c’est le socialisme qui intègre les questions raciales, féministes et écologiques, ou le fascisme."

A multi-billionaire and the chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce just laid out why he's so bullish on Texas (and DFW)
Here's the list from Ross Perot Jr
> Gas. About $3 here. Europe pays about 10 times that. He calls Texas the best spot in the world to build data centers
> Power for everything at once. Data centers, defense tech, chip plants and shipbuilding are all growing here at the same time
>The grid. He thinks the post 2021 freeze fixes plus all this new investment make it one of the most resilient in the world
> Data centers pay the bills. Facebook's data center is now Fort Worth's largest taxpayer ($25m each year)
> Space is running out. He says there's only a single one million-square-foot building vacant in DFW right now
> Factories, not warehouses. Alliance added almost 10,000 manufacturing jobs in the last 12 months
> Permits. MP Materials got its air permit in three weeks. He says California took two years
> Leaders who show up. Scotiabank met the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker in one day. Dinner with George W. Bush that night. They stopped considering a move to Charlotte after that power packed day of meetings
> Public money that pays back. About $1.5B in public money went into Alliance. He says it has returned about $5.3B in taxes
> The balance sheet. Surpluses, a rainy-day fund and a better credit rating than the U.S. "Your state is not going to implode"
> Other states keep sending companies. Schwab from California. Caterpillar from Illinois. Goldman and Morgan Stanley from New York
> Y'all Street. Goldman is building for 5,000+ people in Dallas. Morgan Stanley for about 3,800
> People. DFW is about 8.5 million and still growing
> Location. DFW sits near the middle of North America. Alliance has a runway and a rail yard side by side
> Everything at once. White-collar growth in Dallas, blue-collar growth in Fort Worth
> Elon. "A one man economic development show"
> Neighbors. City staff here actually call you back
> The brand. Taylor Sheridan runs a 700,000 SF studio at Alliance. The president of Pakistan told him he watches Landman
> Defense and new transportation. Fort Worth's defense history makes it a natural home for defense tech, flying taxis and drones
The only thing he says could stop it is complacency.
Today I sit down with Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood and The Perot Group. Ross founded Hillwood in 1988 and built Alliance Texas, his masterpiece, a 1 of 1 27,000-acre development.
We discuss:
• Why Trammell Crow told him to just build warehouses
• How Hillwood developed Alliance Texas
• How a rare earth company got its air permit in three weeks
• How President Bush helped close Scotiabank's move to Texas
• What the 1992 campaign looked like from inside the family
• The Iran War and why cheap oil prices are on the way
• Why every community should want a data center
• How to keep China from taking Taiwan
• Why he expects markets to boom after the midterms

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.
Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.
En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.
Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.
Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.
Deuteronomio 28:7
“Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.
¿BUKELE Y SU WATERLOO?
Con el anuncio del envío hacia Haiti, desde El Salvador, de un contingente de 3000 militares, cuya misión es encontrar a los 4 miembros de las fuerzas armadas de ese país, secuestrados el pasado domingo, cuando penetraron en territorio dominado por las pandillas y fueron atacados por una pandilla de irregulares armados, se avizoran en las próximas horas fuertes enfrentamientos armados.
A estas horas, y sabiendo cómo se resuelven las cosas en Haití, las probabilidades de que estos militares continúen vivos son mínimas, así que si no hay posibilidad de negociar nada, y por lo tanto lo que se plantea es un enfrentamiento armado entre tropas de El Salvador y las pandillas que son dueñas del territorio donde fueron atacados y secuestrados los militares centroamericanos.
Según lo publicado en la prensa internacional, los responsables son dos organizaciones criminales que dominan el área de “Croix des Bouquets”, una de ellas dirigida por Claude Celestin, quien es cabeza de la pandilla Chen Mechan (perros rabiosos), y Wilson Joseph (“Lammo San Jou) líder de la banda 400 Mawozo.
En el día de ayer, este último desafió públicamente al presidente Nayib Bukele en un vídeo publicado en las redes sociales, donde advirtió que no se irá de Haití, y mostró miles de municiones y pertrechos con arma de diversos calibres, que según el están esperando a los salvadoreños.
Tenemos entonces la bandeja servida para un enfrentamiento armado a solo 45 kms de la frontera de la República Dominicana y Haití, de un ejército de pandilleros armados sin nada que perder, frente a tropas regulares de El Salvador, que pelearán una guerra urbana en las calles de un país que no es el suyo y es absolutamente desconocido.
Ya en el pasado reciente, los Estados Unidos en 1994 mando 20,000 soldados e intentó organizar a Haití para que se volviera a la senda de lo que ellos llaman democracia, y luego en el 2004 invadieron de nuevo junto a Canada, lo que terminó en la creación de una fuerza multinacional, la Minustah, que terminó en el más absoluto fracaso, es decir, estamos metidos en un tema que no tiene solución.
Si hay alguien que tiene experiencia en combatir pandillas lo es Nayib Bukele, el presidente de el Salvador, su historia de combate a las “Maras” está a la vista de todos, solo que Haití no es el terreno amigo donde peleó esa guerra, un país de habla y cultura hispana donde jugaba de local, el país caribeño es un transplante de África en América, con una historia de violencia típica de las sociedades primitivas.
Cuando Napoleón envió a sus tropas a sofocar la revolución haitiana en 1802, pensó que miles de solados podrían devolver la colonia a sus dueños, pero solo un año después, Dessalines y la fiebre amarilla los obligó a rendirse, ¿será Haití el Waterloo de Bukele?.
El futuro dirá.

Ken Griffin on France and socialism…
"Paris should be a real wake up call to every single American. Government spending is 60% of their GDP. It’s the socialist dream the left talks about. That dream comes down to how much you can take from others. It doesn’t belong in America."

Preferred holders want stability. Common shareholders still need a reason to own the equity.
@Werkman says Strive got credit investors comfortable with a 60-70% amplification target while preserving the value proposition of the common stock.

Counterpoint: it sure as hell can.
🇭🇹🇸🇻 À ceux qui pensent que Nayib Bukele peut intervenir militairement en Haïti à la suite de la «disparition » des quatre militaires salvadoriens, je tiens à rappeler ceci :
La volonté légitime du président salvadorien de sauver ses quatre militaires ne saurait justifier une intervention militaire unilatérale en Haïti, en violation de sa souveraineté nationale.
La lutte contre les gangs ne saurait devenir un prétexte pour contourner le droit international. Toute opération militaire doit s’inscrire dans un cadre juridique clairement établi, conformément au mandat de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) et aux dispositions de la Charte des Nations unies.
La gravité de la situation sécuritaire en Haïti ne suspend ni le droit international ni la souveraineté du pays.
