At what point does equity-funded BTC buying become shareholder dilution?

Interesting piece on a public company using equity issuance to add to a volatile balance-sheet asset. From a pure equity perspective, the key detail isn’t the asset itself, it’s that this was funded entirely through common and preferred issuance while the shares trade close to NAV. When issuance happens without a premium, existing shareholders are effectively underwriting the risk directly. That turns the trade into a long-duration conviction bet rather than financial engineering.
