Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 55% hit rate, -0.56% mean alpha, trader score -1.02. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -2.1% since posting (mean over 7 mentions with price data).

Bitcoin constructive, Musk valuation skeptical, STRC risk focused

Alden is structurally constructive on Bitcoin and Bitcoin infrastructure, while skeptical of Musk-company valuations at current growth and profitability assumptions. The densest discussion is STRC/MSTR structure: she flags leverage, reserve coverage, dividend tail risk, and liquidation mechanics, then later argues stronger USD reserves and monitoring could improve resilience. There are no explicit directional trade calls or position disclosures in this window.

Direction this week

No CALL_DIRECTIONAL signals or position disclosures, so there are no explicit adds, trims, exits, or initiated trades to track. The week is most concentrated in STRC/MSTR reserve and leverage mechanics, where commentary moves from tail-risk warnings to possible stabilization via larger USD reserves and better leverage monitoring. Musk-company valuation skepticism appears early, while Bitcoin remains consistently constructive across network, infrastructure, and debasement framing.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
