Michael Saylor: Strategy Is Bitcoin's Volatility Amplifier
**March 14 – MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor shared a straightforward theory of digital credit via a post:**
1. Accumulate substantial quantities of appreciating capital (Bitcoin/BTC).
2. Use this capital as collateral to secure credit (STRC) backed by equity.
3. Monetize a portion of the appreciating asset—directly or via derivatives tied to MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR)—to fund dividends.
**Core dynamic:** Credit investors trade volatility, risk, duration, and performance for cash flow and stability. Equity holders (MSTR investors) gain amplified value performance and volatility in return.
**BlockBeats Note:**
- MicroStrategy, the largest corporate crypto treasury holder, owns 738,731 BTC with a total cost basis of ~$56.04 billion.
- MSTR is MicroStrategy’s publicly traded equity, currently valued at ~$46.6 billion.
- STRC is a floating-rate perpetual preferred stock issued by MicroStrategy, positioned as a short-term high-yield credit product. It trades around

Trump: Will Escort Ships with Allies in the Strait of Hormuz
March 14th, Trump posted on Truth Social stating that many countries—especially those impacted by Iran’s attempt to block the Strait of Hormuz—will send warships alongside the U.S. to keep the strait open and secure. We’ve thoroughly destroyed Iran’s military capability, but even in defeat, they can still easily deploy a drone or two, lay mines, or fire short-range missiles along the coast or within the strait. Hopefully, countries like France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others affected by this artificial blockade will send warships to the region to take out the threat from this thoroughly devastated country. Meanwhile, the U.S. will conduct intense bombing along the coastline and keep sinking Iranian ships. In any case, we’ll eventually restore the Strait of Hormuz to being open, secure, and free!

Trump Denies Five Fuel Tankers Were Destroyed, Iran Mocks US Military's Casualty Minimization
**Trump Slams Media Over Saudi Tanker "Misinformation" in Truth Social Post**
On March 14, former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social:
"Fake news outlets deliberately pushed a misleading headline—claiming five U.S. refueling tankers were shot down and completely destroyed at a Saudi Arabian airport. In reality, the base was attacked days ago, but the planes were NOT 'shot down' or 'destroyed': four of the five were nearly unscathed and have been restored for use; the fifth sustained slightly heavier damage but will soon return to service."
Trump also targeted *The New York Times*, *The Wall Street Journal*, and other outlets:
"They want us to lose this war—their terrible reporting is the opposite of the truth! These sick, deranged people have no clue how much harm they’re doing to America. Fortunately, our decisive 2024 election victory proves the American people see through the fake news."

Tether Freezes Around 12 Million USDT in a Certain Address
March 14 — Whale Alert monitoring shows an address on the Tron blockchain holding 11,960,680 USDT has just been frozen by issuer Tether.
Tether implements its USDT freezing mechanism via a blacklist feature built into its smart contract. Once the admin calls the addBlackList function to add a specific address to the blacklist, all USDT transfers to and from that address are disabled — the balance remains visible but is permanently frozen.
This action is typically triggered by law enforcement requests related to money laundering, fraud, or sanctions. Tether has frozen over $4.2 billion worth of USDT in the past few years, with most of these freezes occurring after 2023.
