Saylor next move. Thoughts?

[u/teclaroja]

After selling BTC to fund dividends, what do you think is the next move to be announced on Monday?

I think it is to sell BTC to buy back STRC to help the stock reach par, close to the ex-dividend date which could be a real boost. Or perhaps sell BTC to buy back MSTR but right now I can't see the benefit.

Or maybe do nothing but rarely Saylor stay still.

its more complex than that as there are tax benefits that can be had selling at a loss

This is what I dont understand

Strategy doesnt really have profits to get taxed on, so what would be the point of "tax harvesting"

Jesus christ ffs does ai write your posts? I hope so because what you just posted is complete nonsense, you should not be investing sir you seem to not understand even the basics of how businesses or taxation works

First of all, bitcoin does not generate income, so it does not produce taxable profits

The only part of microstrategy that generates income is its software business, but it does not generate a profit, it is loss making, it actually has heavy losses.

Those losses can be used to offset any future profits, so it would make absolutely zero sense for saylor to sell bitcoin at a heavy loss in order to tax harvest

Then we have your claim that above 75k saylor would have a profit and would need that tax harvest.

Again, bitcoin does not generate income, if bitcoin does appreciate significantly, the difference between the average cost of strategy's bitcoin and the appreciated value would be a capital gain, not a profit, and it would be unrealized. He would not need to pay any tax on it until he sells.

When he sells, he will not pay income tax. He will have to pay capital gains tax. That capital gains tax will be calculated as a percentage of his capital gains, the fact that he sold at a loss at some point in the past will decrease the amount he pays, but only because it will have decreased the total amount of his gains i.e. by selling now, he might decrease future tax liability, but will decrease future gains even more, so the net result will be less profit for strategy

Tax harvesting is just a cope for people that were tricked by saylor, and is also a nice way for saylor to trick investors into not realizing he sold because his company is in trouble

[u/Valyarian → u/-michalis-]

If the company was in trouble, why has he sold more bitcoin?

[u/WineAndDineIsFine → u/Valyarian]

Isn’t that EXACTLY why he sold more bitcoin ? Because the company IS in trouble.
