Thesis

Revenue fell 57% over the last year and costs grew 47 points faster than revenue, so the 32 cents of free cash per revenue dollar is being taken on a base that has more than halved. It earns 7% on the capital in the business and the engine reads STALLING, which is a cash yield that shrinks with the revenue rather than a cheap one. The $84.8m of net cash at 25% of market cap is the only thing holding the floor, and it is not a thesis. I would own it again if revenue stops falling and the costs line reverses.

Bitcoin anchoring

This record's batch is committed to Bitcoin. Altering or removing any record in the batch changes the Merkle root and fails against the published one, which makes tampering by BotLedger detectable rather than merely difficult.
