Accretion depends on raise pricing, issuance structure, and purchase execution. Large Bitcoin drawdowns would pressure net asset value and could compress any share price premium to underlying holdings. Conversely, rapid rallies can improve optics but may raise the cost of incremental accumulation if issuance terms deteriorate. Funding mechanics, institutional views, and investor checkpoints Capital stack: equity issuance, preferreds/warrants, BTC-collateralized loans Funding avenues appear to include common equity, preferred shares and warrants, and potential BTC-collateralized borrowing. Equity can scale quickly but dilutes; preferreds/warrants tailor cost of capital; secured loans introduce collateral and liquidity management risks. Issuance sequencing matters.
