If you’ve been following my option series, you know that I have large positions on MSTR call options.
Last April 2025, I decided to sell 1 of my 2 MSTR call options. If you’ve been following my posts, you know that I bought these call options last August & September 2024.
MSTR was trading at $190 when I started buying MSTR call options.
These MSTR call options are my best performing positions. At one point, their value went almost 10x my initial investment.
So how did I come up with the decision to invest in MSTR call options?
I stumbled upon a YouTube video discussing MSTR. I shared that YouTube video in this post last August 2024:
I also shared that on the Telegram Group as early as March 2024 when I started buying MSTR shares:
I also shared that on Reddit 1 year ago:
The previous name of that YouTube channel was Quant Bros. They now have rebranded the channel to MSTR True North.
Those early Quant Bros episodes were instrumental to my understanding of $MSTR.
I’ve also written about MSTR, you can check those posts here:
To understand MSTR, you need to have first a solid understanding of bitcoin. Then you can start to dive deep into MSTR.
🔑WHY I SOLD ONE OF MY CALL OPTIONS
I sold my call options at a gain of 577%.
That is 5.77x on my original investment.
I have stated in my previous posts that I plan to sell my call options when MSTR will hit $600 & then $1,000:1.
However, because MSTR has not hit those price targets yet and the expiration date is nearing (which was December 2025). I decided to take some profits.
The dip also during the tariff drama during April 2025 has also scared me.
My overall portfolio was heavily exposed to MSTR. I have decided then that after recovering from the April dip that I have to have some cash allocation.
Also, the heavy usage of ATM (At the Market) Offering of MSTR 0.00%↑ was bit concerning to me.
I am still bullish on MSTR. As you can see here on my latest portfolio update in Patreon. My MSTR exposure is more than 50% of my account (MSTR shares + calls)
My Portfolio is almost at it’s all time high now. Luckily, I didn’t panic sell during the tariff tantrum in April 2025.

📜WHY AM I SHOWING THIS
The point is not to brag. As you can see, I have also shared my losses in the past (read the options series).
The point of showing my portfolio and trades is to share what I am learning in real time.
My goal is not to show that I am a genius or expert trader or guru. My goal is not for you to copy trade me. My goal is just to share how I plan to attain financial freedom through investing.
The purpose of showing where I invest is not to show that this is the way to invest.
The goal of sharing my portfolio and trades (win & losses) is to show transparency. And hopefully, you will learn or be inspire from it.
I will also continue to share my losses and mistakes even though it hurts. Because others can also learn from my mistakes.
My main goal by sharing my portfolio and my trade ideas and results is to inspire the readers of this Substack to learn how to invest.
But I can’t tell you where to invest. Everyone is different.
Even though if you don’t agree with my portfolio. I hope that you can still learn from it.
If I will summarize my mission & vision on why I write this blog and share my portfolio, I can summarize it to two sentences:
To inspire others to learn more about bitcoin. To spark others’ curiosity to go deep down the rabbit hole on how bitcoin can affect their financial life in a positive way.
That’s it.
My portfolio is powered by bitcoin. I hope that you will be inspired to learn more about how bitcoin can improve your returns.
If you find me work valuable and helpful, the best way to support me is through Patreon.
