Strive's chief executive indicated that should their Bitcoin bull case materialize, Strategy could emerge as "the largest company in the world." "They are thinking long-term." [Spoken audio]: Yeah, on strategy sell it, and I think this, I agree with you that this is a good thing. I always encourage people, we talk about this so much on this show, to just zoom out and look at the bigger picture. And what is the bigger picture for strategy? To me, it's pretty simple. If our bull thesis around Bitcoin plays out, they're likely to be the largest company in the world. What do you need to operate at that scale? You would want investment grade ratings, and so you're directly taking on some of the direct criticism in the B minus rating that they got by starting to monetize Bitcoin to actually pay a dividend. So it wasn't just sell it on a random date. They sold it when not only did they have the STRC dividends due, but also the quarterly dividend payments for the other preferred equities and directly used Bitcoin as the the funding vehicle for those dividend payments. And I think to me that is almost the most important thing. And we don't know how many times that would need to be true to start to alleviate S&P's concerns, but my guess would be it's not one time. It doesn't necessarily mean that it needs to be every time either, but there probably needs to be, just like we're building a track record of every single day we pay a dividend, right? That that track record building process, it also is true for them that they're building a track record process of actually using Bitcoin as money, right? And that is to me, a very positive sign in addition to all the different financial metrics or evaluation metrics that might support this type of decision that I think they're thinking long-term. And you can try.
