Odaily reports that Michael Saylor, founder and Executive Chairman of bitcoin treasury company Strategy, has once again released information related to the Bitcoin Tracker. Based on previous patterns, Strategy typically discloses its Bitcoin acquisition details the day after such announcements.

According to comprehensive reports from Saudi media, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Dar stated during a quadrilateral meeting involving Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan that within a 60-day period, Iran will not prevent ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz, and no tolls will be imposed at the Strait of Hormuz. Whether it is a "transit fee" or a "service fee," nothing will be collected at the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan has succeeded in bringing the United States and Iran together for dialogue for the first time in 47 years.

Pakistan worked closely with its partners and allies to ensure the success of the mediation efforts. A war between the U.S. and Iran would be devastating and have a negative impact on the economy. Currently, three technical teams are involved in U.S.-Iran negotiations. The technical committee is discussing nuclear issues, frozen funds, and the situation in Lebanon. Additionally, Dar stated that he has briefed the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey on the memorandum of understanding. (Jin Shi)

Odaily Odaily reports that the "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity has published another review of Sivers Semiconductors (SIVE), pointing out that the market still has a skewed understanding of SIVE. SIVE is not merely serving the expansion of CPO (Co-Packaged Optics), but is a core laser supplier in the next-generation optical interconnect architecture. It covers various next-generation optical communication architectures including Pluggable, Scale-out CPO, Scale-up CPO, and NPO. SIVE may be becoming the "laser bottleneck node" in the next-generation optical interconnect architecture. As new optical communication architectures gradually come into effect from 2027 onward, the market may be underestimating SIVE's position in the future AI data center optical interconnect supply chain.

Odaily reported that Bitcoin has dropped approximately 40% since Strategy launched its Bitcoin financing instrument, STRC, which has now fallen below its $100 issuance par value. This has sparked market debate over the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin “flywheel” model. Strategy currently holds over 846,000 BTC, but its purchase pace has notably slowed recently. Data shows that during the week ending June 8, the company added 1,550 BTC, worth approximately $101 million. The following week, ending June 15, it added another 1,587 BTC, valued at about $100 million. In contrast, during a single week in April 2026, the firm bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion, indicating a significant decline in its recent capital deployment.

Meanwhile, Strategy previously sold 32 BTC to meet dividend obligations. While minimal relative to its total holdings, the market views this as a sign that cash flow pressures could intensify if STRC’s funding efficiency declines. STRC was originally designed as a preferred stock instrument trading near its $100 par value, using dividend adjustments to attract investors and help Strategy raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. STRC has now fallen to historic lows, once dropping to $82.53 before closing at $88.59—roughly 13% below par value.

Critics argue that STRC’s dip below par indicates mounting pressure on Strategy’s funding channels. Peter Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin critic, labeled STRC “a typical centralized Ponzi scheme,” claiming the model relies on continuous financing or Bitcoin sales to sustain itself. Crypto trader DonAlt also questioned STRC’s recent performance, describing its trading behavior as resembling a “Ponzi scheme.”

However, some analysts believe STRC’s decline is more due to leverage liquidations than a fundamental deterioration of Strategy. STRC had long traded around $99 to $100, attracting leveraged traders. When the price broke below a key level, forced liquidations were triggered, exacerbating the drop.

Analyst Scott Melker noted that STRC’s current yield has actually improved due to the discount. Since dividends are calculated based on the $100 liquidation preference, at an STRC price of $90, the 11.5% annualized dividend translates to an actual yield of about 12.8%. If the price falls to $85, the yield could exceed 13%.

Strategy is expected to announce its next STRC dividend adjustment by June 30. The market is now focused on whether the STRC discount will persist and whether Strategy’s model of using capital market financing to continuously accumulate BTC can remain stable. (Cointelegraph)
