Monitor the sustainability of BTC Yield given the rapidly expanding preferred stock base and associated dividend obligations. The 24% QTD BTC Yield is driven by share dilution from preferred issuance rather than organic BTC appreciation — the BTC price declined from $68,198 to $58,631 during Q2. Watch for any adjustments to the SATA dividend rate or changes in the pace of preferred issuance.
