    Is Strategy’s Credit Machine Starting To Crack?

    Strategy built a Bitcoin credit machine and now the market is testing whether it really works. This week, we examine the growing pressure on Strategy as STRC trades below par, investors questioning the company’s evolving role, and how the market reassesses the assumptions behind its Bitcoin-backed capital structure. We also discuss what it would take for STRC to recover, Bitmine copying Strategy, how AI may be draining liquidity from crypto, and why a shift away from the AI trade could reshape Bitcoin’s next cycle.
