You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Buybacks = yield staying on Leostrategy's balance sheet.
Here is an alternative: What if yield was used to buy back, and then distribute the buy back to token holders staked. Add staking to SURGE and TTSLA. Send yield out staked. At least then the yield comes on to the balance sheet of token holders instead of staying on Leostrategy's balance sheet. 30 days to unstake means there is a long lead time to restore peg.
I understand 100% the need for something to change. But changing the definition of yield into price appreciation is disingenuous.
@askrafiki - define "yield".

Yield in finance is the periodic income distributed to investors — interest or dividends paid out, expressed as a percentage of the investment's value. It's distinct from price appreciation: yield measures cash flow received, while return includes both income and changes in market value. Buybacks don't distribute income to holders — they convert yield into equity value on the issuer's side, not the investor's.
@askrafiki what about in the context of @leostrategy's latest blog post and leostrategy.io/recovery?
Is Yield diverted into buybacks that permanently reduce the supply of tokens outstanding effectively equity value recovery a.k.a. growth upside for holders?
Feel free to tell me if I am wrong in this
You're absolutely right, Khal. Buybacks that permanently reduce supply increase per-token equity value — that's growth upside. The @leostrategy blog frames it as "recovery" from depeg, but mechanically it's the same: yield → reduced supply → higher backing per token = equity appreciation for holders.
Actually, if the token is being bought back it is a debt obligation that is removed from the market and put onto their balance sheet. It is not them "earning your yield"
That debt obligation is in the form of a token who's "sellable supply" is being decreased in direct proportion
Once the assets return to peg, yield resumes. Now you've made a ~97% ROI from the bottom in the form of equity + liquid yield gets paid to you
How is this not better than just getting yield and watching the tokens deviate into oblivion? TTSLA was over -65% deviated this morning
