## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Fidelity Says Preferred Stock Has Funded 135,979 Bitcoin as Strive Lists a 15% Dividend Issue (2026-10-21): Fidelity says preferred stock has funded 135,979 BTC. Strive listed a 15% dividend issue, and BlackRock filed for a bitcoin fund that limits losses and caps gains. JPMorgan Asset Management forecast about 10% a year for bitcoin over the next decade, so credit buyers are being offered yields above the asset's projected return. That gap is the dependency the thesis identifies.
