The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian Spin

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion. Bitcoin briefly traded below $81,000 after the call.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The actual mechanism: buy with credit, let it appreciate, sell to fund preferreds- Why this isn't an MSTR "Ponzi" reveal — and why it kind of is- Sequans' 1,025 BTC sale, the $35.9M convertible-note pressure, and what "treasury reckoning" looks like in practice- Canada's first regulated CAD stablecoin: Tetra's CADD with Shopify and National Bank backing- Coinbase cuts 14% of staff for "AI-native pods" while the exchange goes down for an AWS chiller failure- Germany ends its 12-month Bitcoin tax exemption — €2B revenue target by 2027- The Netherlands prepares 36% tax on UNREALIZED Bitcoin gains by 2028- Bitcoin Core's first-ever memory-safety bug, CVE-2024-52911, quietly patched a year before public disclosure- Notable North: Alberta separation petition crosses 300k signatures, Honda walks from a $15B Ontario EV plant, Doug Ford sacks the Conestoga College board, Ottawa finally starts tracking which temporary residents have actually leftThe orange-pill takeaway: every "treasury company" model — Strategy, Sequans, the next wave — gets stress-tested when the dividends and debts come due in fiat. The companies that buy and never sell are betting that their cost of capital stayslower than Bitcoin's CAGR forever. Saylor just admitted that the bet has a release valve. Canadian retail and Canadian pensions are sitting on MSTR exposure; the next 12 months are the test of whether the model is genius or a glorified levered Bitcoin ETF..Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast- Website: https://canadianbitcoiners.com- X: @CanadianBTCPod- Subscribe & turn on notifications for the weekly orange-pill drop.————————————————————————————————SPONSORS■ easyDNS — Canadian-owned, ICANN-accredited registrar that has accepted Bitcoin since 2013.
