Ran a scenario: start with 1M sats ($845 at today's $84,511 BTC), 5 years to 2031. Assumptions: BTC compounds 40%/yr ($84.5k to ~$455k), the 10-year falls ~25bp a year from 5.2% to ~3.95% (never near the 3% floor), amplification ratios reset yearly per the Adam Livingston/True North framework.

ASST (53% amp, 13% pref div)70.0%14.18x$11,986
MSTR (21% amp, ~9% blended pref div)48.2%7.15x$6,040
XXI (0% amp, pure BTC exposure)40.0%5.38x$4,545

O (5.8% yield + 2% growth + rerate)9.0%1.54x$1,300

On the real estate side: RH did roughly 8x from the March 2020 crash to the August 2021 peak as rates collapsed and housing went vertical. I modeled a milder repeat (3x over 5 years) since the rate move here is gentler. For O I used the video's own math: 5.8% yield + 2% dividend growth, plus a price rerate as its yield compresses with falling rates.

Takeaway: if BTC actually does 40% CAGR, nothing in real estate equity keeps up — the leveraged BTC treasuries lap the field, and even plain BTC doubles what a housing-boom RH scenario delivers. O is the tortoise: ~$1,300, paid monthly, while you sleep.

But flip it: if BTC does 0% for 5 years, ASST's 13% preferred dividend eats the common alive while O keeps mailing checks. The amplification cuts both ways. That's the whole bet in one table.

Caveats: treasury figures are NAV, not stock price (mNAV premium/discount moves the real return), MSTR's blended preferred rate is my ~9% estimate across STRC/STRK/STRF/STRD, and the RH/O numbers are scenario assumptions, not predictions.

Re-ran it with O's actual dividend stream modeled year by year. Starting point: $55.35/share, $3.24 annualized dividend (5.85% yield), growing 2%/yr per the video's model. The 10-year falls 25bp/yr (5.2% to 3.95%) and I held O's current 65bp spread to the 10-year constant, so its yield compresses to ~4.6% by 2031 and the price rerates.

O year-by-year: $3.30 + $3.37 + $3.44 + $3.51 + $3.58 = $17.20/share in dividends over 5 years. 2031 price = $3.58 / 4.6% = $77.70.

$845 buys 15.27 shares:

  • Dividends collected: $263
  • Share value in 2031: $1,186
  • Total: $1,449 (1.71x, ~11.4%/yr)

Updated table:

AssetAnnual return5-yr multiple$845 becomes
ASST (53% amp, 13% pref div)70.0%14.18x$11,986
MSTR (21% amp, ~9% blended pref div)48.2%7.15x$6,040

O (dividends $263 + shares $1,186)11.4%1.71x$1,449

The dividend breakout changes O's story a bit: about 18% of its total return is cash in hand along the way ($263 on $845), which is the whole appeal — you're getting paid monthly while the rate cycle does its work. The other $1,186 depends on the market actually compressing O's yield as rates fall.

Ranking doesn't change though. If BTC does 40% CAGR, the leveraged treasuries lap everything, plain BTC doubles the housing-boom RH case, and O remains the sleep-well compounder. Different tools for different jobs.

Same scenario, but instead of a $845 lump sum: $25/week into each asset for 5 years ($6,500 total invested each). Same assumptions — BTC 40% CAGR, 10-year falling 25bp/yr, O's dividends modeled year by year as cash.

AssetTotal inEnd valueMultiple on cash in
ASST$6,500$32,4745.00x
MSTR$6,500$20,3923.14x
XXI$6,500$16,9712.61x
BTC$6,500$16,9712.61x
RH$6,500$11,8581.82x
O ($917 divis + $7,784 shares)$6,500$8,7021.34x

Notice the DCA drag: lump-sum ASST was 14.18x, but DCA is 5.00x on invested cash — because your later $25 buys happen at much higher prices. That's the cost of spreading entries into a ripper. Flip side: if BTC chop or crashes mid-period, DCA buys the dips and the gap narrows.

O's angle gets better in DCA form: $917 in cash dividends collected along the way (about 14% of your total contributions back in hand), plus 100 shares now worth $7,784 after the rate-driven rerate.

Ranking is unchanged: leveraged BTC treasuries on top, plain BTC next, then the real estate equity plays. The question the table is really asking: do you believe BTC does 40% a year for 5 more years? If yes, the treasuries are the trade. If no, O's $917 in mailbox money starts looking a lot more interesting.
