Robotics likely won’t have a “chatGPT moment” until we’re well into the industrial ramp for the next gen of automation, meaning you’re getting a nice opportunity to be long improving fundamentals right now and the catalyst of widespread attention is still waiting in the wings.

had to reread this a few times but pretty wild how much value saylor created doing this even when they're essentially flat on the investment, am excited to see how this plays out w/ robotics investments instead of BTC as the underlying
May 19
Case one: Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR).
In August 2020, Strategy began buying Bitcoin. BTC value per diluted share: ~$2.34.
Today, BTC value per share: $164.71
Net of Credit/Preferred Shares: $129.53
That’s ~55× in 5.7 years.
Important note:
Strategy's average Bitcoin buying price is roughly $75,500. Bitcoin today is roughly $77,000.
They've made marginal returns on holding Bitcoin itself, yet net BTC value per share grew ~55×.
To deconstruct MSTR’s NAV/Share returns:
~3% came from Bitcoin price going up.
~97% came from MSTR issuing shares above NAV (proceeds were then used to buy more BTC).
If Bitcoin dropped 50% to ~$38,500, Strategy would face a large loss on their BTC NAV. Net BTC value per share would be ~$27.7, ~12x greater than the original BTC NAV per share. The company would have lost money on its investments, but retained returns from accretive share issuance.
In the scenario that Bitcoin doubled, the net BTC value per share would rise to $294.24. In this scenario, the company would have achieved substantial returns from both its investments and also accretive share issuance.

Proud to announce my position as CMO of @RoboStrategy
(Jump to the last couple of lines if you want to skip context)
I could not be more excited about the robotics industry.
I think it is the highest potential emerging technology field that currently exists, and is also the least well understood and appreciated by the general population. I very much expect that in 12-18 months, everyone will be talking about robotics.
My goal is to terraform the attention economy of the robotics industry.
There are a few folks doing it well (s/o @adcock_brett) but by and large the industry talent for capturing attention, marketing, go-to-market, etc is not good. Very bad actually. Lots of room for improvement! I think building out the RoboStrategy brand will be a great way to be an early mover to a new market and grow one of the top voices in the industry as it matures.
Also @Rewkang and @WarcMeinstein made my life a lot easier, $BOT is a great ticker.
Why a public fund?
We've seen companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX reach enormous private market valuations while much of the public had limited ability to participate in that value creation cycle. I believe robotics companies may increasingly follow a similar path as the industry develops.
RoboStrategy is designed to provide public market exposure to robotics, an area that I believe will become increasingly important in the future.
Tech is becoming much more powerful and the natural forces of capitalism are causing wealth to concentrate. I want my work to help people better understand what I believe will be an important shift in global labor, while expanding access to innovation in robotics through public markets.
It's also cool as hell. These robots feel like the future in a way I've never seen before. And they're going to be everywhere in the not-too-distant future.
I expect they will become part of the zeitgeist of social media, politics, markets, and generally the focal point of the world as this vision comes to fruition and people realize what this means for the future.
Elon calls the combination of AI and Robotics the "supersonic tsunami." I've never been in a tsunami before, but I imagine it would be quite intense. Especially a supersonic one.
I'm excited to have a front row seat as this wave accelerates.
Follow @RoboStrategy for a surprise tomorrow 👇

Proud to announce my position as CEO of @RoboStrategy.
When I initially started looking into investing in robotics 2 years ago most VCs I consulted with recommended not to invest in the space. Robotics companies at this time did not have an easy time raising capital. The industry didn’t have a track record of big venture winners, was perceived to be challenging for a variety of reasons, and was not well understood. But it was clear to me that the rate of acceleration of physical AI development would dramatically change the industry. I invested $19m into FigureAI as my first investment.
I believed it was a question of when, not if we could imbue machines around the world with physical intelligence. To accomplish this, the industry would need a tremendous amount of capital to grow, and also an investment firm that deeply understood the needs of robotics/physical AI companies so that it could build a platform to better support them. It will take hundreds of billions to capitalize the mechanized future meaning there is a big gap in the market. We decided we wanted to fill it.
Previously, Mechanism Capital had never taken outside capital, but to do this at the scale I envision, I would need to do so. However, the private markets don’t have that scale. The public markets do, and it was clear that there is and likely will be tremendous appetite for public market investors to participate in the immense value creation happening in AI & robotics that only private market investors currently have the privilege of accessing. The explosive growth of AI companies is a precursor of what will happen in physical AI. So in 2025, we founded RoboStrategy and a year later, we took it public on Nasdaq. Throughout this year, we’ve assembled a great portfolio, started leading rounds of some amazing companies, and have built the foundation to be ready to scale to the next level after going public.
We look different from a traditional VC firm in ways that founders appreciate. Our structure as a closed end fund means our capital is permanent - no fund life meaning we can invest with extremely long time horizons. Our investment firm also of course needs to have deep industry and research experience so that it can make the best risk reward optimized investment decisions. In the last year, we’ve brought on some truly exceptional robotics industry veterans who have previously served for decades as founders/operators. Many founders we talk to consider us as the most sophisticated venture capital firm they’ve talked to and we only intend to grow our expertise in the industry. RoboStrategy’s success depends on our ability to distribute the fund and capture maximal mindshare. This plays to our team’s strength in digital marketing and social media. We’re building a special marketing engine that serves as an attention amplifier for both us and our founders so that our products and stories can reach more people.
A source of inspiration for our fund structure, Strategy (MSTR) raised tens of billions from public capital markets to invest in Bitcoin. I believe robotics will be a much larger industry than Bitcoin and the asset class is orders of magnitude less accessible. We are aiming to raise more and not only become the largest robotics investor globally, but also one of the largest venture capital funds in the world. Venture capital has traditionally been restricted to a limited group of investors. We are changing the paradigm and bringing it to the rest of the world.
Be sure to follow @RoboStrategy.
Job’s not finished.

BOT: Public Market Access to Private Robotics Companies
Introducing RoboStrategy:
RoboStrategy, Inc. (Nasdaq: BOT) is a closed-end management investment company providing concentrated exposure to robotics and physical AI.
The fund is designed to give public market investors exposure to a portfolio that aims to include the most promising private, pre-IPO, and public robotics and physical AI companies. It bridges a structural gap between where robotics innovation is occurring (largely in private markets) and where most investors can access exposure (public markets).
The fund seeks to provide investors with access to a sector that has traditionally been limited to venture capital, and aims to provide exposure to companies that may stay private for longer.

The Core Insight
We believe the robotics industry is at an inflection point, with physical AI and robotics increasingly being applied to labor-constrained global industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and services.
According to the International Labor Association, labor accounts for approximately 52% of global GDP.¹ According to Statista, global GDP in 2025 was $118T.² This represents an implied global labor market size of roughly $60T.
At the same time, this labor base is increasingly constrained: Korn Ferry projects a global shortage of 85.2 million skilled workers by 2030, including a 7.9 million worker deficit in manufacturing alone.³ Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute estimate the US could need 3.8 million new manufacturing workers by 2033, with 1.9 million of those roles at risk of going unfilled.⁴ Physical AI and robotics are emerging as a primary means of closing that gap.
While public markets currently offer indirect exposure to robotics through diversified technology companies, much of the value creation is occurring in private companies that remain inaccessible to most investors.
--
Portfolio Focus
The portfolio focuses on what the fund believes are category-defining robotics and physical artificial intelligence innovators, including Figure AI, Apptronik, Dyna Robotics, Standard Bots, Dexmate, and other pioneers advancing autonomous systems, machine perception, and human-machine collaboration.
The managers of the fund seek to optimize returns by actively managing the portfolio and continuing to make new investments in leading private robotics companies.
--
The Ambition
The fund's long-term goal is to grow into a significant public-market vehicle for robotics investing, providing public-market access to private innovation in the sector.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is to empty the clip into emerging tech and get generationally wealthy on the way.”
