PROPOSAL

We are excited to explore a transformative strategic initiative for IkigAI Labs XYZ. Following the successful example set by MicroStrategy, we may be adopting a debt-for-Bitcoin strategy. This move aims to leverage Bitcoin as a core asset to enhance our financial stability and growth potential in a rapidly changing world.

Rationale Behind the Strategy

The global financial landscape is experiencing significant volatility, with traditional fiat currencies facing inflationary pressures. By incorporating Bitcoin into our balance sheet, we aim to diversify our assets and reduce reliance on fiat currencies. Bitcoin has demonstrated robust long-term appreciation potential. Issuing bonds to purchase Bitcoin allows us to convert cash from a liability to an asset.

If Bitcoin appreciates more than the interest rate on the debt, this strategy can yield substantial bootstrapping energy to develop our AI. The idea here is to train bespoke agents, each with a very narrow field of expertise for startups.

Implementation Plan

IkigAI Labs XYZ will issue $6.9 million in 0.5% bonds. The proceeds will be used to acquire Bitcoin, thereby integrating a highly valuable and appreciating asset into our financial portfolio. The acquired Bitcoin will be securely stored using advanced custodial solutions to ensure its safety. We will implement robust risk management practices to mitigate potential volatility impacts. We are committed to maintaining transparency with our shareholders throughout this process. Regular updates on our Bitcoin holdings and financial performance will be provided to ensure you are well-informed of our progress and the benefits of this strategy.

Expected Outcomes

By diversifying into Bitcoin, we anticipate a stronger and more resilient financial position, less dependent on the fluctuations of fiat currencies. This strategic move positions IkigAI Labs XYZ as a leader in financial innovation, potentially attracting new investors and partners who share our vision for integrating blockchain and cryptocurrency into mainstream finance. With Bitcoin's potential for long-term appreciation, we aim to create significant value for our shareholders.

Playbook in Deeper Detail

Initially, in August 2020, MicroStrategy began by purchasing Bitcoin with available cash. This foundational step was crucial in establishing a significant Bitcoin position. Following this, MicroStrategy raised additional capital by issuing corporate bonds. This allowed the company to leverage debt to increase its Bitcoin holdings further. Recently, a third pillar was added: issuing shares. While issuing shares typically dilutes shareholder value, in MicroStrategy's case, it has been anti-dilutive on a Bitcoin per share basis. This means that as the number of shares increases, the amount of Bitcoin per share also increases, benefiting shareholders.

Key Aspects of the Strategy

Issuing shares to buy Bitcoin works under the assumption that MicroStrategy's stock is overvalued compared to Bitcoin. This strategy leverages high equity valuations to acquire more Bitcoin, which can increase the overall value per share. The implication extends beyond MicroStrategy; it suggests that other companies with high equity valuations could adopt this strategy. By issuing shares and converting proceeds into Bitcoin, companies can enhance their balance sheets and potentially drive up Bitcoin valuations. MicroStrategy's valuation has significantly increased due to its Bitcoin holdings, which now exceed $14 billion. This approach positions the company as a levered Bitcoin ETF, capitalizing on Bitcoin's appreciation to boost shareholder value. MicroStrategy is not just sitting on its Bitcoin. It continues to operate its traditional software business while positioning itself as a significant player in the Bitcoin ecosystem. This includes Bitcoin advocacy and participation in the Bitcoin network.

The Digital Hotel Analogy

As we pivot from real estate, this analogy is particularly fitting. Bitcoin can be likened to a digital hotel, where digital property (Bitcoin) can be rented out globally. This flexibility allows us to monetize Bitcoin in various ways, similar to how physical properties generate revenue. Unlike a physical hotel, digital property can be rented out anywhere around the globe to the person or institution that is willing to pay you the highest rate or yield. A global digital property you can mortgage.

Michael Saylor's strategy of leveraging cheap dollar loans and high equity valuations to buy Bitcoin is a potentially transformative approach to corporate treasury management. It’s conceivable that more companies will follow this example, further integrating Bitcoin into the financial mainstream. While this strategy requires strong conviction and strategic control, it offers substantial long-term benefits and aligns with our vision for IkigAI Labs XYZ.
