- 261 - The $1 Trillion AI Test: Is Wall Street in Trouble?
Avi Mash and Jody Flournoy dig into Anthropic's S1 numbers ($141B raised, $575M a month in free cash flow), Elon Musk saying debt markets have shut for companies without real revenue, and what a $1.5T Anthropic valuation would mean for Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They cover the Tesla and SpaceX merger talk, earnings week (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Robinhood, Reddit) and Eli Lilly's GLP-1 moat at $1.2T. Then Bitcoin: Strive buying 6,182 BTC while Strategy paused its buys to buy back STRC, and why they won't buy the Anthropic IPO on day one.

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 - 43min - 260 - Adrian Morris on AI, $ASST, $MSTR and $SATS
Jody and Avi sit down with Adrian Morris of True North, who wrote the long research paper on Strategy's Stretch buybacks. He compares Strive's new SATS preferred (15% fixed) with Stretch, explains why his modeling found the Stretch buybacks indistinct from zero on price, and why he doesn't see MSTR common stock buybacks moving the needle either.
Then the AI question: whether AI capex and raises like Nebius are pulling capital out of bitcoin (his take is that expectations are the real risk, not a rotation), what Metaplanet needs to win back retail trust, why converts come back once bitcoin is much bigger, Vivek Ramaswamy's idea of putting part of Ohio's pensions in bitcoin, and a future where bitcoin sits at $500K and no one blinks. They close on Q4, Adrian's case that AI is about 98.5% of the way to AGI and only needs to be a genius, not a god machine, and rising above AI slop.

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 - 55min - 259 - Jeff Walton on Strive $SATS and British HODL on $MSTR
Jody sits down with Jeff Walton, Chief Risk Officer at Strive, to break down SATS, Strive's new fixed rate perpetual preferred that pays $15 per share a year (15% at its $100 par) and sits junior to SATA. Jeff walks through how it compares with SATA and Strategy's Stretch, why he sees capital and capital structure as Strive's moat, and what changed after the warrants expired on October 13 with about 94% of that capital, roughly $700 million, in the door.
Then British HODL joins to talk Strategy using cash to buy back Stretch and trusting management, why he says serious capital isn't going into self custody after two of his videos moved $130 to $150 million into IBIT, Grant Cardone's blend of real estate and bitcoin, and why he sees $126K as a mid-cycle top on the way to his $340K target.

Joe Consorti joins host Jody Flournoy on Macro Mondays to break down the MSCI index decision on Strategy ($MSTR), Strategy's $STRC buybacks back to par, and why he thinks bitcoin can blast through $100,000. Then Artem Ponomarev, CEO of X-Place, explains borrowing against stocks and bitcoin and why he expects the biggest bull run ever.
Joe walks through the numbers on MSCI forced selling, the Fed and $100 oil, why he treats MSTR as a trade and bitcoin as savings, what people get wrong about treasury company leverage, paper bitcoin, and Michael Burry versus the Fed backstop. Artem covers partial liquidation protection, tokenization and Robinhood, which stocks work as collateral, and how AI job losses could shape markets.

JFDI and Father of Trades join the show to debate whether another 25 to 50 basis points of Fed hikes would be healthy for this market, and how often the Fed has hiked back to back before. Then the DRAM beat down: SanDisk and Micron charts, China's CXMT memory push, and whether Micron looks like a bubble at about 7x forward earnings. Also covered: bank earnings from JPMorgan, Goldman and Citi, the Broadcom CEO's comments, how NASDAQ options dealers are positioned into big tech earnings, Fermi's TensorWave and AMD news, and two small-cap ideas, AirJoule (AIRJ) and ICU.

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 - 20min - 255 - Stop Paying For Heat (Mine Bitcoin Instead)
Dane from Hashrate House joins the show to explain how a bitcoin miner can replace the heating element in your water heater, hot tub, radiant floor or driveway, so the heat you already pay for pays you back in sats. He walks through why he went from 80 decibel S19s to silent immersion systems, what a home install takes (a plumber and an L6-30 plug), the ROI question against a 10,000 dollar furnace, writing the gear off as a business expense, and why home miners help decentralize the network. Also covered: mining 101 and the 3.125 bitcoin block reward, home mining vs hosting, natural gas and cold climates, Airbnb hot tubs as a sunk cost, and how to reach Hashrate House.

Leon Wankum, author of Digital Real Estate, is back on the show with host Jody Flournoy, fresh from the treasury conference in New York. They get into writing a book in the age of AI, whether the four year cycle bottom is in, how store of value went from gold to real estate and why Leon thinks bitcoin takes that role next, and the hidden costs of owning property versus the power law. Then the money mechanics: fiat financing and home prices since the dollar left gold in 1971, borrowing against bitcoin instead of selling it, bitcoin as the hurdle rate every business now has to beat, Grant Cardone's bitcoin real estate funds, and Leon's pitch to real estate investors who have not looked at bitcoin yet.

Grain of Salt joins Treasury Talks with host Jody Flournoy and co-host Halston Valencia for a masterclass on amplification, the math behind how bitcoin treasury companies turn a bitcoin move into a bigger move for common shareholders. Grain walks through his amplification explainer, Strategy's aggregate cost of capital versus Strive's, SATA's dividend, Matt Cole's 1% allocator mandate and room for a third digital credit issuer. They also cover whether Metaplanet can become Japan's largest company, share count math for $ASST, Nakamoto and Metaplanet versus $MSTR, how Grain positions in Strive options, and why execution is what Saylor copycats missed.

39:39 Share Count Math: Metaplanet 63x Strategy, ASST 7x
48:08 Positioning in Strive Options: Delta Ramp and Full Gamma
57:00 Execution Is the Hard Part: What Saylor Copycats MissedKey takeaways:
- Grain of Salt's house analogy: put $200,000 down on a $1,000,000 house, and if the house rises 10%, the $100,000 gain is a 50% return on the cash you put in. That is amplification.
- In Grain's worked example, bitcoin rises 30%, the preferred holders take their 13% on their $2 claim (26 cents), and the common keeps $2.74 on $8, a gain of about 34%.
- Grain puts Strategy's aggregate cost of capital at 2.24%, so bitcoin has to rise about 2.24% a year to cover it.
- On share count versus Strategy, Grain said $ASST is about 7 times after its 24 for 1 split, Nakamoto about 8 times, and Metaplanet 63 times.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Minnesota Gopher believes Iovance's new FDA and regulatory hires point to a basket submission for CNPV vouchers in non small cell lung cancer, endometrial cancer and sarcoma, and he named Merck as the likeliest acquirer.
- Father of Trades read the options chain as pinning $IOVA near $14 in the short term and said a move above $20 could set up a gamma squeeze, as he saw in $SLS.
- Father of Trades said scalping profits should be parked in high conviction companies and gains should be protected by taking back cost basis on 10x or 15x winners.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 - 48min - 249 - Prashanth Chandrashekar of Bringin: How to Live on Bitcoin in 2026
Can you actually live on bitcoin in 2026? Prashanth Chandrashekar, founder of Bringin, joins Avi Mash and Jody Flournoy on The Daily Stack to explain how he moved from India to Estonia, got paid in bitcoin, how Bringin turns self-custody bitcoin into euros for rent and bills, and why banking is still the hardest part for bitcoin businesses in Europe. He also covers self-custody vs KYC, which wallets make sense for small vs large amounts, agentic payments, and his $200K bitcoin call for the end of 2027.

27:38 Bitcoin price prediction: $200K by end of 2027
30:52 Bringin for businesses: bitcoin payroll and one statement
33:17 Will AI agents pay with bitcoin?Key takeaways:
- Bringin lets you sell bitcoin from your own wallet, on-chain or over Lightning, and get euros in your account to pay rent and bills in the EU.
- Bringin never holds your bitcoin: to buy through it you need a self-custody wallet, theirs or your own.
- For bitcoin businesses in Europe, banks are the bottleneck: one transfer referenced "BTC fees" was enough to get a payment held.
- Prashanth argues convenience and security don't have to be opposites, and multisig across several hardware vendors is too hard for mass adoption.
- On agentic payments: AI agents paying in bitcoin only takes off once more merchants accept bitcoin.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Tim Kotzman of Bitcoin Treasuries joins Jody Flournoy and Halston Valencia on Treasury Talks, fresh off the Bitcoin treasury conference in New York, to compare Strategy's Stretch ($STRC) and Strive's $SATA now that both are moving to daily dividends, and why $STRC fell farther than $SATA. They also discuss whether Strategy could someday buy 10, 20 or 50 billion dollars of Bitcoin a week, Michael Saylor's "need $10M, raise $50M" advice, the Bitcoin hurdle rate, room for new digital credit issuers, tokenization, and the Digital Credit Digital Conference on October 21st.

- Tim Kotzman says a narrative at the conference was that just having Bitcoin on your balance sheet isn't enough anymore.
- Tim recounts Jeff Walton's story that Michael Saylor advised: if you need $10 million for a business, raise $50 million so you still have $40 million in Bitcoin if it fails.
- Jody notes the average investor would not have expected STRC to drop farther than SATA, and points to SATA's daily dividends and no debt as reasons it held up better.
- Tim says smaller digital credit issuers would likely need to offer somewhat more than 13% to compete.
- Tim views Strategy selling some Bitcoin as a sign of a two way trade and institutional grade management.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Pamela Posada conversa con Jan Kotas, programador de origen checo y cofundador de Bitcoin Paraguay, sobre por qué Paraguay atrae a bitcoiners y expatriados que buscan residencia fiscal, libertad y una vida menos dependiente de un solo Estado. Jan explica cómo nació la comunidad Bitcoin Paraguay, sus meetups, talleres para principiantes con la billetera Blink y su curso con billeteras Trezor. También habla de la idea del "stack soberano", de por qué Bitcoin es una herramienta de libertad financiera y de la visión de Paraguay como un hub soberano.

41:11 Talleres, onboarding con Blink y curso con Trezor
51:38 Pregunta del chat: Bitcoin, el mercado y el oro
57:14 ¿Volvería Jan a República Checa? Dónde seguirlosPuntos clave:
- Jan llegó a Paraguay buscando residencia fiscal con tributación territorial, no por Bitcoin, y terminó quedándose por la gente y la sociedad local.
- Para Jan, vivir fuera del sistema no es vivir sin él, sino depender menos de un solo Estado: diversificar residencia, empresas, Bitcoin y herramientas como Nostr en un "stack soberano".
- Bitcoin Paraguay nació en mayo de 2024, cuenta con más de 650 personas en la comunidad y, según Jan, unas 3.500 asistencias a sus meetups y alrededor de 500 personas en sus talleres para principiantes.
- Los talleres terminan con cada asistente recibiendo sats en la billetera Blink, y el curso de tres días, dos horas por día, enseña a usar una billetera de hardware Trezor.
- Jan recomienda empezar a explicar Bitcoin con el "por qué": entender por qué el dinero actual falla antes de hablar de la tecnología.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

- IOVA raised guidance to 410 to 420 million, and the hosts named dilution as the more likely bear case for a company that is still burning cash.
- Avi decided on air to trim his IOVA January calls, which were up 263%, after Father of Trades argued for locking in profits and not round-tripping a large gain.
- Father of Trades expects Micron revenue growth to be limited near term because it is manufacturing at capacity, with new factories not online until 2028.
- Problem Sniper's trade of the week was Eli Lilly, watching for a daily close above 1190. He put IOVA's upside target around 18 to 18.50 and its downside risk near 12.50.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Brickken CEO and co-founder Edwin Mata, a former M&A lawyer, explains why Robinhood tokenizing $AMC without AMC's permission creates a synthetic product rather than real stock, and why he expects financial systems to run on blockchain by 2030. In the second segment, Erin Gambrel, known as The Blonde Broker and now VP of financial services at Corgi, talks about Corgi Invest's ETF lineup, the Bitcoin four-year cycle, and AI tools for retail traders.

- He says if a holder cannot claim the real underlying stock, they do not have the rights and obligations of a shareholder.
- Mata says he has zero doubts all financial systems will run on blockchain technology, citing efficiency rather than belief in crypto, with 2030 as his target.
- Brickken has been live since 2020 and more than 600 million has transacted through its software, according to Mata.
- Erin says Corgi's ETF fees are the lowest she has seen across issuers, and that she reached about 250,000 subscribers across her channels as The Blonde Broker.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Alex Busarov of Heatbit joins The Daily Stack to explain how Bitcoin miners can double as home heaters and air purifiers, putting mining heat to use instead of wasting it. The conversation covers Heatbit's origin story, the new single chip Bitair purifier, how setup works, and why heat reuse miners may be the most resilient and decentralized miners as halvings squeeze margins. They also discuss product safety and custody choices, Heatbit's small AI-assisted team, and using mining as a way to introduce people to Bitcoin.

23:13 Coldcard incident, custody and device safety
27:38 Heatbit team, AI and the first production run
31:39 Getting people into Bitcoin through mining, not priceKey takeaways:
- Alex says Heatbit heaters can cover anywhere from 30 to 100% of the power the device uses, running at roughly 40 to 60 terahashes.
- The Bitair air purifier uses a single mining chip so it produces no noticeable heat and earns about a dollar to a dollar and a half a month in a pool. It is meant as an introduction to mining.
- Alex argues large miners turn off machines and sell their Bitcoin when prices fall, and many are moving to AI, while home heat reuse miners have no extra energy cost and no need to sell.
- Bitcoin mined on Heatbit devices goes to the user's chosen pool or directly to them when solo mining. Heatbit does not hold it.
- Heatbit has fewer than 10 people, with Alex saying about 90% of the work is now done with AI.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Heatbit founder Alex Busarov joins The Daily Stack to explain home Bitcoin mining with devices that reuse mining heat, including Heatbit's heaters and the new Bitair air purifier with a single chip miner. The conversation covers setup, how much heater mining can offset a power bill (30 to 100% by his estimate) versus about a dollar a month from Bitair, why heat reuse miners are the most resilient, halvings and miner margins, safety and custody choices, and Heatbit's first production run. The show also covers rate hikes, the bond market and Bitcoin as a check on war funding.

45:29 Bitair giveaway code and LednKey takeaways:
- Heatbit heaters run about 40 to 60 TH/s, and Alex says the bitcoin mined can cover 30 to 100% of the power the device uses.
- Bitair uses a single mining chip so it adds no noticeable heat, earning about $1 to $1.50 a month in a pool. It is meant as an introduction to mining, not an income source.
- Alex argues heat reuse miners pay nothing extra for electricity, so they don't need to sell their bitcoin or switch off when price falls.
- Halvings squeeze margins: Alex's example is a 60% margin dropping to about 20%, and a 40% margin going into the red.
- Heatbit does not hold users' mined bitcoin: users mine to the pool of their choice or solo mine. The company has fewer than 10 people, with Alex saying about 90% of the work is now done by AI.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Robin Seyr returns to The Daily Stack's Treasury Talks to follow up on his MSTR to $1,000 thesis. He estimates $MSTR could reach about $250 if Bitcoin hits $100K by year end, and $1,000 per share as a baseline to slightly bullish case if Bitcoin reaches $200K to $300K over the next two to three years. The conversation also covers Stretch ($STRC) buybacks and its return to par, Strategy versus Strive ($ASST), neobank yield products built on Stretch, doing your own research on treasury companies, and lessons from the Coldcard incident.

46:29 What to watch next: Q3, midterms and BitcoinKey takeaways:
- Robin estimates MSTR at roughly $250 per share if Bitcoin reaches $100K by year end, with a premium of around 1.4 to 1.45 and another 10,000 to 30,000 BTC bought.
- With Bitcoin at $200K to $300K, Robin sees $700 to $800 per share as a bearish conservative case and $1,000 as a baseline to slightly bullish case for MSTR.
- Robin says Strategy bought 170K Bitcoin this year despite a bear market, and that Stretch reaching $50 to $60 billion in value could enable weekly buys of 40K to 60K BTC.
- Robin describes a future where neobanks offer customers around 7% on Stretch backed accounts and keep the spread from Stretch's 12% rate.
- Robin says the Coldcard incident did not affect him and calls it a wake up call to stop trusting hardware wallets to generate entropy.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Según Cristina, a muchas mujeres les interesa menos qué es Bitcoin y más cómo usarlo y cómo puede beneficiar a su familia.
- Cristina sostiene que no falta educación sobre Bitcoin, sino experiencia real: bajar una wallet, recibir el equivalente a un dólar o una libra en sats y usarlos.
- Women of Bitcoin surgió tras un encuentro de mujeres en la conferencia de Madeira 2024 y funciona como comunidades descentralizadas y voluntarias.
- Cristina describe al Reino Unido como una de las jurisdicciones menos amigables con Bitcoin, aunque destaca que Bitcoin fue reconocido como propiedad privada.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

- Father of Trades sees BlackBerry at a $60 stock or higher by the end of 2027. He says he would only doubt the thesis if customers began migrating away from QNX.
- Problem Sniper measures a Bitcoin cup and handle from the 82,000 level to about 102,000. He expects Bitcoin to reach 100,000 this year.
- Problem Sniper sees Micron reaching 1,200 before earnings on September 30. He argues AI applications will keep memory demand from being cyclical.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Not financial advice.Tue, 22 Sep 2026 - 1h 19min - 238 - Joe Consorti: Bitcoin Breaks $85K and Why the Bear Market Is Over
Macro analyst Joe Consorti joins host Jody Flournoy to explain why he thinks the Bitcoin bear market is over after $BTC jumped from about 81,500 to 85K-86K, despite the Fed's first rate hike in about three years. They cover why "rates lead the Fed," the midterms as the remaining event risk, the failed Clarity Act, Strategy buying 950 BTC and repurchasing $174 million of $STRC, Joe's 50-week moving average signal and Bitcoin terminal, and ETF versus self-custody.

44:35 Bitcoin custody: ETFs vs self-custody
50:25 What to watch: Fed meeting, midterms, OctoberKey takeaways:
- Joe says the Fed sets policy rates while the Treasury market sets real rates. With the two-year yield about 75 basis points above fed funds, he called the hike largely performative: rates lead the Fed.
- Joe sees the midterms as the main remaining event risk for Bitcoin, more a cap on a breakout than a downside catalyst.
- Inflation base effects starting early next year could give the Fed cover to cut rates, which Joe views as positive for Bitcoin.
- Per Joe's backtest, a close above the 50-week moving average has a 100% cyclical hit rate excluding the COVID crash, and an 88% hit rate across all instances.
- Joe argues most people will hold Bitcoin through ETFs. He says technically literate holders should self-custody.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Stephan Livera, host of the Stephan Livera Podcast and an advisor to Orange BTC, joins The Daily Stack to discuss what the Coldcard incident means for "not your keys, not your coins," why multisig and multi-vendor multisig matter, and the gap between roughly $5 to $7 billion of insurance coverage and $1.6 trillion in bitcoin assets. He also covers whether $58K was the cycle bottom, Orange BTC trading at about 0.72x its bitcoin holdings, treasury companies like Strategy ($MSTR) and Strive, and why he thinks AI productivity and abundance strengthen the case for bitcoin's 21 million cap.

30:23 AI productivity, abundance and keeping your winnings in bitcoin
32:57 AI doom, job disruption and the end of civilization debateKey takeaways:
- Livera says the Coldcard incident shows self-custody is no longer as simple as buying a hardware wallet and writing down 12 words, and he expects more people to move toward ETFs on one side and multisig on the other.
- He argues it is unfair to blame generalist podcasters like BTC Sessions, Matt Odell and Natalie Brunell, noting that even Ledger Donjon did not find the vulnerability.
- Livera says bitcoin insurance covers under 1% of bitcoin assets, but multisig and other security techniques offer protection gold can't.
- Livera thinks there is a good chance $58K was the bottom and says Orange BTC holds about 3,900 BTC, putting it roughly in the top 23 treasury companies.
- He sees AI as a disruptive but productive tool and expects the next decade to favor capital and asset holders more than wage earners.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Avi Mash hosts options trader Problem Sniper the day before FOMC to discuss a weak 20-year Treasury auction, Bitcoin and the dollar, and why he took the no rate hike side on a prediction market.

31:12 Audience picks: $SNDK, $MU, $RKLB

- Problem Sniper took the no rate hike side of a prediction market bet at around 24 cents, and the no hike odds were about 83 percent during the show.
- He says Meta's Muse already runs his morning news, daily reports and pre-market scans, and he trusts Meta with data more than private AI companies.
- He sees $META in a long consolidation like past mega cap breakouts, eyeing a 700 to 720 test and a long-term view of $1,000 plus.
- He flagged $AMD breaking a trendline around 530 toward 600, and $ZS moving past 190 toward 200 and then 205 to 212.
- He noted a whale holding about 11,000 $MRNA 165 calls worth around a million dollars, and called $SNDK, $MU and $RKLB charts unclear for now.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Avi Mash and his co-host preview the September FOMC decision. The co-host takes a contrarian view that the Fed will hold rates despite markets pricing in a hike, and explains a short-term gold and Nasdaq calls trade. They also preview BlackBerry ($BB) earnings, covering QNX, Alloy Core, the bear case against Linux and Android Automotive, and the roughly $950 million royalty backlog, then discuss AI as defense spending, an Italian natural gas small cap, and StockTwits trending tickers like $QXO, $CMG and $CAVA.

34:30 Mini monster: Italian natural gas producer
39:05 StockTwits trending: $QXO, $CMG and $CAVA
42:28 Wrap up and JFDI joining next weekKey takeaways:
- The co-host expects the Fed to hold rates, with a hike more likely in December, even though markets were cited as pricing an 87% chance of a hike.
- His trade is short-dated calls expiring Friday on gold and Nasdaq. He says gold could drop $200 an ounce within days if rates are hiked.
- For BlackBerry, analysts were cited at 4 cents EPS and about $144 million in revenue. The co-host expects 6 to 7 cents and a double beat with raised guidance.
- Federal AI contracts were cited at $91.8 billion in 2026, with 98% from the Department of Defense. DoD AI contracts were cited as rising from 254 in 2022 to 1,300 in 2026.
- The co-host argues QNX is winning more contracts than it loses to Linux, and that the $950 million royalty backlog comes mostly from established, cash-flow-positive customers.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Varda Pandey, the macro writer behind Pandemonium (pandemonium.sg), returns to The Daily Stack to explain research showing Bitcoin's extreme-day tails were almost five times the S&P 500's before the ETFs and are now roughly four times smaller. They cover a near-certain FOMC hike priced at over 90 percent, AI capex and the $DRAM memory ETF, oil, pro-cyclical ETF flows versus passive index investing, gold's rising volatility, MSCI's pending decision on Strategy ($MSTR), and the midterms.

26:29 Gold footnote, correlation and debasement trade
32:25 MSCI decision on Strategy ($MSTR)
38:53 Midterms, AI politics and market riskKey takeaways:
- Varda found Bitcoin's worst days stood almost five times further from ordinary days than the S&P 500's before the ETFs, and today the S&P's tails are roughly four times more pronounced than Bitcoin's.
- When ETF flows started, Bitcoin's jump volatility dropped 60 percent, but heavier options and derivatives activity from 2024 onward brought jump volatility back up.
- Varda says Bitcoin's realized vol went from about 70 percent to 50 percent but will not reach S&P-like levels soon because there is no passive index investing in Bitcoin.
- ETF flows are pro-cyclical: Varda cited about $4.4 billion of outflows in June 2026 as Bitcoin fell, versus daily inflows of roughly $260 to $280 million in late August as it rose.
- Varda believes a possible MSCI exclusion of Strategy may not be as big an event as it is made out to be, since a large chunk of the impact may already have played out.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Avi Mash welcomes back Varda Pandey, the Singapore-based macro writer behind Pandemonium (pandemonium.sg), to discuss research finding that Bitcoin's extreme-day tails are now less pronounced than the S&P 500's after the ETF launch. They also cover a Fed hike priced at over 90% probability, AI capex and memory stocks, oil, ETF flow behavior, whale concentration, and the pending MSCI index decision on Strategy ($MSTR) ahead of the midterms.

26:19 Whale concentration and institutional buyers
30:26 Gold volatility footnote and near zero correlation
36:00 MSCI decision on Strategy $MSTR
42:46 Midterms, markets and AI policyKey takeaways:
- Varda says markets price over 90% odds of a Fed hike, and not hiking would be a credibility challenge for the Fed.
- Before the ETFs, Bitcoin's worst days stood almost five times further from ordinary days than the S&P 500's; today the S&P's tails are roughly four times more pronounced than Bitcoin's.
- Varda argues Bitcoin's realized volatility fell from about 70% to 50%, but will not match the S&P without passive, index-style investing that buys on dips.
- ETF flows are procyclical: he cites about $4.4 billion of outflows in June 2026 when Bitcoin fell, versus daily inflows in late August when it rose.
- Funds tracking MSCI indexes hold about 13 million $MSTR shares, roughly 3.1% of shares outstanding, and Varda thinks much of any exclusion impact may already have played out.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Utkarsh Ahuja, founder and managing partner of Moon Pursuit Capital, joins Jody Flournoy on The Daily Stack to discuss where $BTC sits in the four-year cycle after its 126K high and roughly 59K low, the role of whales and global money supply, MetaPlanet and Bitcoin treasury companies, and the odds of the Clarity Act passing. He explains how his firm pulled out about 95% of its holdings in the first week of October 2025 and is now launching a pure market neutral quant fund. He gives a view of 100K to 150K by the end of 2027 and around 250K within three to three and a half years.

31:08 How to invest, 29 strategies and crowded trades
35:36 Bitcoin price prediction for 2027 and 250KKey takeaways:
- Ahuja is in the four-year cycle camp but credits global money supply, geopolitical events and whales as the drivers, and expects a maturing market with less extreme highs and lows, rejecting 400K to 500K calls for this cycle.
- He doubts Bitcoin revisits the roughly 59K low this cycle but expects September to stay volatile, with a more sustained uptick possibly starting in early to mid October.
- Moon Pursuit Capital pulled out around 95% of its holdings in the first week of October 2025, ahead of the cycle top and the October 10 crash.
- He sees investing in treasury companies like MetaPlanet as carrying higher volatility and risk than holding the underlying Bitcoin, even with tax advantages such as those in Japan.
- Market neutral strategies can get crowded over time, so platforms have to keep evolving their strategies to maintain returns. His firm's platform runs 29 automated strategies.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- $ASST trading volume reached 1.5 billion versus 161 million three weeks earlier, a 9.7x increase, which the hosts attribute to investors seeking small cap upside.
- The hosts credit Strive's Matt Cole and Jeff Walton for open communication about executive pay and say Strategy lost trust over the past three to four months.
- Andrew Tilmann says the Coldcard and Liquid incidents flew under the mainstream radar because media attention is focused on AI.
- The Midwest Bitcoin Summit has about 80 to 86 sessions across four stages, and Tilman says it will return in 2027, tentatively in Cleveland.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Not financial advice.Tue, 08 Sep 2026 - 2h 17min - 228 - Michael Sullivan on Bitcoin Sentiment: Why Retail Hasn't Returned
Host Jody Flournoy talks with Michael Sullivan (Sully) about Bitcoin sentiment data. Sully finds positivity rising among long-term Bitcoiners while newer holders remain apathetic and angry, and argues retail is not back yet. Earlier, Nathan Dennis and Elizabeth (Bitcoiner Liz) of Bitcoiner Talent cover the Bitcoin jobs market, hiring at Strive, and how AI is changing what companies look for, and the show also covers prediction markets, writing in the age of AI, and the long-term link between AI deflation and Bitcoin.

- Sully says retail is nowhere near back yet, and newer Bitcoiners show more apathy, anger and annoyance than longer-term holders.
- His data shows long-time Bitcoiners become less emotionally volatile the longer they have been in Bitcoin.
- When Bitcoin dropped to 58K, fear was extreme, and Sully uses sentiment data to spot when the crowd may be overreacting.
- Sully sees prediction markets as a high-signal gauge because participants put money behind their views.
- Bitcoiner Talent's mission is to cut wasted recruiting effort by matching companies with the right Bitcoiners, and the guests say Bitcoin and AI skills are now closely linked.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

On Treasury Talks, Halston Valencia and her co-host discuss $MSTR breaking $140 live on the show, the co-host's short-term $MSTR call trade, and Halston's view that Bitcoin treasury companies now need an operating business or financial products beyond simply holding BTC. They cover $ASST LEAPS and taxes, IBIT versus self-custody after the Coldcard incident, the toxic maxi debate, BTC Optioneer's case that Strive could outperform Bitcoin 2x, Bitcoin's 82k level, the power law, and their price calls for the Midwest Bitcoin Summit on September 23rd.

- Halston argues that simply buying Bitcoin for the balance sheet no longer works, and that winning treasury companies will have operating businesses or financial instruments, like Strategy, Strive and OrangeBTC.
- BTC Optioneer's view, shown on air: Strive $ASST could outperform Bitcoin 2x over the next few years, with 100% BTC yield equaling 2x outperformance as long as mNAV stays stable.
- On LEAPS, the co-host highlights choosing 2028 expiries so a sale can qualify for long-term capital gains rather than short-term rates.
- Sniper's key level is an 82k Bitcoin break, with little resistance seen until 97k, and $MSTR broke 140 during the show.
- Price calls for Midwest Bitcoin Summit (September 23rd): the co-host says about 89k, while Halston expects consolidation around 82k to 83k.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Pamela Posada conversa con Jordi, administrador de la comunidad Barcelona Bitcoin Only y cofundador de Barcelona Bitcoin Hub, sobre cómo la inteligencia artificial está llenando internet de bots, cómo los algoritmos usan la polarización para engancharnos y por qué las comunidades Bitcoin en persona siguen siendo insustituibles. También explican cómo nació Barcelona Bitcoin Hub para abogados, asesores financieros y gestores de patrimonio familiar, cómo Satlantis pasó a enfocarse en la gestión de eventos y comunidades, y por qué Jordi cree que Nostr triunfará como sistema de gestión de identidades.

30:08 Satlantis: de red social a gestión de eventos
38:16 Qué es Nostr y la gestión de identidades
48:56 El futuro de las comunidades BitcoinPuntos clave:
- Jordi cree que con la IA internet pasó de una mezcla estimada de 80% bots y 20% humanos a casi 99% bots hablando entre sí.
- Según Jordi, los algoritmos buscan la "pegajosidad" con pequeñas dosis de dopamina, y la forma más eficaz de lograrla es generar sentimientos polarizantes.
- En Barcelona hay cinco grupos de Bitcoin. Barcelona Bitcoin Hub atrae a abogados, asesores financieros y gestores de patrimonio familiar que no encajaban en grupos más cypherpunk.
- Al inscribirse a un evento en Satlantis se crea automáticamente una identidad de Nostr y una billetera Bitcoin, y la plataforma acaba de lanzar una herramienta de gestión de comunidades y membresías.
- Jordi ve a Nostr menos como sustituto de las redes sociales y más como alternativa para gestionar identidades: cada persona custodia sus propias llaves, igual que en Bitcoin.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

1:09:29 SPY bull and bear gaps outlookKey takeaways:
- Father of Trades said gold is bouncing off support near 4326 an ounce and expects a sharp move either back toward 4700 or down toward 4000.
- Father of Trades is short Diageo ($DEO) with an average around 94.30, citing falling revenue (19.6 billion last year), a profit margin down to 8.8%, tariffs, and younger people drinking less, and is watching 80 for profits.
- Avi Mash framed Take-Two ($TTWO), a $43 billion company, as a monster in the making with GTA 6 launching November 19 at $80 standard and $100 Ultimate, and the street modeling 29 to 30 million units in the launch quarter.
- Avi's AI bear, base and bull cases for Take-Two were 180, 310 and 410 versus a price around 218, and he is considering a sell the news entry after launch since online revenue may come later.
- Problem Sniper sees Bitcoin flagging around 80,000 to 85,000 before a bigger move toward 100,000 into year end, and said a gap up over 200 in Zscaler ($ZS) could run toward the 260 to 275 zone.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

The host and JFDI react to a hawkish Jackson Hole, Bitcoin holding near 78,000, Nvidia's earnings, and the week's earnings slate including $DELL, $CRDO, $AVGO and $ZS, plus chart reads on $COIN and $MSTR. A guest from Stormrake, a Bitcoin brokerage, then joins to argue Bitcoin is in a new bull market driven by the debasement trade. He covers Kevin Warsh versus Scott Bessent, OTC demand at his brokerage, Bitcoin and gold, his 200K to 220K cycle target, and Bitcoin treasury companies.

- JFDI sees Zscaler ($ZS) sitting in a five year base, comparing the setup to Okta's breakout.
- The Stormrake guest said Stormrake went from about seven inbound inquiries a day to 400 calls in a 48 hour window as Bitcoin moved from 64K to 80K.
- He called 60K the bottom or close to it, and puts the cycle top around 200K to 220K by 2029, with roughly 110K to 120K by end of 2027.
- He is not bearish on Bitcoin treasury companies but expects only a few winners, preferring real businesses like Steak n Shake holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Jody Flournoy hosts Normies in Shambles (Shams) and power law analyst Sminston With to discuss the Bitcoin power law, why it has held up in out of sample testing while stock to flow broke down, and what macro indicators like PMI and the copper/gold ratio say about the current cycle. They also cover Bitcoin Twitter drama around Knots, BIP 110 and Coldcard, the power law fit near $138,000 versus a price around $78,000, Fed rate hike odds, and beginner friendly charts like the Mayer Multiple and realized price.

44:00 Power law fit at $138K and the AI buildout
48:18 Fed rate hike odds after Jackson Hole
50:47 Mayer Multiple, realized price and other chartsKey takeaways:
- Sminston With says an out of sample test, using only older data, would have predicted today's Bitcoin price almost on the nose for nearly 10 years.
- Stock to flow drifted off by roughly an order of magnitude by 2022 and 2023, while the power law's R squared has kept rising.
- Sminston sees Bitcoin's cycle weakening in correlation with the halving and strengthening with the business cycle, noting that bull run rates historically pick up as PMI nears 56.
- Shams wants a clean close above 86K before flipping bullish, since the 85K to 86K floor breaking led to the drawn out drop toward 60K.
- On the Mayer Multiple the reading was about 1.18, and Shams treats anything under 2.4 as a stacking zone. Sminston notes this is the first cycle where price has not broken below realized price.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

42:08 Building wealth with rental properties
48:36 Interest rates, Warsh and the housing market
51:51 Where to find TurboHome and Brandon KeysKey takeaways:
- Brandon Keys pointed to a large short liquidation, Trump's comments on the strategic reserve and, mainly, the Treasury doubling its bond buybacks as drivers of Bitcoin's move back to 80K.
- Keys' keynote argued 1 million sats is the new million dollars, citing about 12.8 million wallets holding a million sats versus about 62 million millionaires worldwide.
- Ben Bear said TurboHome charges a flat fee averaging about $10,000, so on a million dollar home buyers get back roughly $20,000 compared with a $30,000 broker fee.
- Bear described Prop 13's effect in California: he pays about $18,000 a year in property taxes on his Oakland home while a neighbor pays about $1,000, which discourages people from selling.
- Bear said higher rates seem more likely than lower ones 6 to 12 months out, with 30-year mortgage rates hovering around 7%.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Pamela conversa con Fernando, creador de The Bitcoin Libertarian, un economista argentino que vive en Asia desde 2016. Fernando cuenta cómo llegó a Bitcoin por la inflación y los controles de cambio en Argentina, y explica por qué considera a Bitcoin superior al oro y al sistema fiat. También hablan de la preferencia temporal, del DCA como estrategia para empezar y del papel de las treasury companies como Strategy y de ETFs como $IBIT en la adopción.

55:32 Dónde seguir a Fernando y el Bitcoin BMF ClubPuntos clave:
- Fernando dice que en sus 45 años de vida Argentina cambió cinco monedas y tuvo dos hiperinflaciones, y que por eso llegó a Bitcoin.
- Al principio usaba Bitcoin como un nuevo PayPal para mover dinero fuera de Argentina. Entendió su valor durante la pandemia escuchando a Michael Saylor.
- Según Fernando, a diferencia del oro, no se puede crear más Bitcoin aunque se use más energía, porque el ajuste de dificultad mantiene un bloque cada 10 minutos en promedio.
- Para él, el concepto financiero más importante que no se enseña es la preferencia temporal: ahorrar pensando en el largo plazo.
- Fernando ve a las treasury companies y a los ETFs como un puente que da exposición a Bitcoin a personas que de otra forma no habrían entrado.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

- Father of Trades said he thinks Iris Energy could be a $100 stock in a year or two and is not concerned about the $800 million RSU package.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Avi noted Nvidia beat estimates in 21 of its last 23 reported quarters; JFDI said he would be a buyer above 195 if earnings gap the stock higher.
- JFDI said the IBB is at all-time highs and the XBI sits just under them, with genomics names like Twist breaking out of stage one bases; Avi's thesis is that genomics companies get acquired by big pharma for their data.
- JFDI said $PLTR and $DASH are the two biggest positions in his concentrated account, with PLTR putting in a three-week tight.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Robin Seyr joins Avi Mash and Jody Flournoy on The Daily Stack to explain why he believes Strategy ($MSTR) could reach $1,000 per share, split adjusted, within the next two to three years if the four-year cycle holds, driven by its Stretch digital credit program and amplified Bitcoin exposure. The conversation also covers the Coldcard self-custody fiasco and single points of failure, Treasury buybacks, his view that 58K was the bear market bottom, institutional versus retail adoption, Bitcoin as the base layer of a great capital shift, and why Strategy's transparency helps the stock.

29:06 AI IPOs and Nvidia vs Strategy market cap
34:39 Retail vs institutional Bitcoin adoption
39:16 Why Strategy's transparency creates attention
45:41 Lyn Alden on Treasury buybacks and the fiscal trainKey takeaways:
- Robin believes Strategy reaches $1,000 per share, split adjusted, within two to three years if the four-year cycle plays out, likely after a stock split.
- He says Strategy amplified Bitcoin in his backtest: it falls more when Bitcoin falls, struggles when Bitcoin is flat, and outperformed by roughly 2.5x to 3.5x in strong Bitcoin rallies.
- On Coldcard, he argues users with dice rolls or a multi-signature, multi-vendor setup would not have been affected, and that self-custody means taking responsibility.
- He considers 58K his personal bear market bottom but would welcome lower prices to stack more Bitcoin.
- His one-line thesis: the company with the most Bitcoin should become one of the most valuable companies if Bitcoin becomes the most valuable asset, noting Nvidia is more than 100x Strategy's roughly 47 billion market cap.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Sam Callahan, Director of Bitcoin Strategy at OrangeBTC, joins hosts Jody Flournoy and Halston Valencia on The Daily Stack to discuss $SATA returning to par, $STRC recovering toward 96, and Bitcoin moving back above 70K. He explains DIGY11, OrangeBTC's first financial product in Brazil: an ETF holding variable rate perpetual preferreds from public Bitcoin companies, with an FX hedge for BRL denominated monthly income. The conversation also covers Fed and Treasury liquidity actions, Metaplanet's US expansion, whether the Bitcoin bottom is in near 60K, and Sam's reading and book recommendations.

- DIGY11 was announced at Blockchain Rio and holds variable rate perpetual preferreds, currently $STRC and $SATA, with an FX hedge to deliver BRL denominated monthly income. It is expected to list on B3 likely next month.
- Sam says DIGY11 targets an estimated yield of CDI plus 3 to 5%, supported by issuer Bitcoin balance sheets rather than Brazilian real estate or bank risk.
- The index, built with MarketVector, screens for Bitcoin holdings, market cap, liquidity and volatility. Strategy dominates the initial weighting because of its size and liquidity.
- Sam's base case is that the 60K area likely marked the Bitcoin bottom, barring a major macro shock, after heavy coin transfer and consolidation there.
- OrangeBTC reports gross BTC yield above 17% this year and says its mandate is to increase Bitcoin per share.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Pamela Posada conversa con el salvadoreño Nelson Inno, radicado en Alemania, cuyo equipo diseñó el diplomado de Bitcoin para las escuelas públicas de El Salvador, que hoy se prueba en un número pequeño de escuelas piloto. Hablan de por qué lo más difícil de aprender Bitcoin es la filosofía y el ego, de la retroalimentación de maestros y alumnos, de su libro Innovación Inestable (Unstable Innovation) y de cómo usa la inteligencia artificial para construir su negocio everybodyknowsyou.com.

- Para Nelson Inno, lo más difícil de aprender Bitcoin no es la parte técnica sino la prueba de ego y humildad de reaprender cómo funciona el dinero.
- El diplomado empieza con educación financiera personal y sistema monetario antes de introducir Bitcoin, y en el piloto a los maestros les ha costado más que a los alumnos.
- Nelson dice llevar unas 1.200 horas aprendiendo IA. Su negocio everybodyknowsyou.com facturó los primeros 500 dólares al tercer día y se acerca a 10.000 en 10 semanas.
- Según Nelson, mantener sus páginas web le costaba 2.100 dólares al mes y ahora unos 70, tras construir su propia infraestructura.
- Su orden de prioridades para la estabilidad: primero filosofía, luego aprender a hacer negocios y agregar valor, y tercero acumular sats.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

Esto no es asesoría financiera.Wed, 19 Aug 2026 - 1h 16min - 215 - Ophelia Snyder: Bitcoin Is Still Early, Tokenization Isn't Ready
Ophelia Snyder, co-founder of 21Shares, joins The Daily Stack to discuss how she and her co-founder built the first crypto exchange traded products, grew to more than $11 billion across 55 listed products in roughly eight years, and sold to FalconX. She argues Bitcoin is still painfully early and could become a reserve asset in a fragmenting world. She also explains why tokenization infrastructure is nowhere near ready, why altcoins are going corporate, and why AI looks overheated but likely transformative over the long run.

- Snyder says Bitcoin is still early and its likely fate is some kind of reserve asset, used more for large governmental transactions than peer to peer payments.
- She says crypto ETFs shifted institutional managers from ignoring Bitcoin to needing a reason not to own it.
- She argues tokenization infrastructure is not ready at scale, citing bank risk models built for five day weeks that would need years to rewrite for weekend repo.
- She sees altcoins with real use cases going corporate, serving back and middle office functions for financial firms rather than retail narratives.
- She thinks AI is likely overvalued right now but is building physical infrastructure and will probably deliver long term, with job transitions taking 10 to 20 years.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Avi Mash, who is sick with a fever, hosts trader Father of Trades for a last-minute options education session on a slow, down day in the markets. They cover options myths, weeklies versus LEAPS, trading around earnings and IV crush, delta and theta, and liquidity on small caps, with examples including $QQQ, $RKLB and $DELL. They also discuss how Trump's comments on South Korea, Oman and Iran hit markets, the guest's current positions in $QXO and BlackBerry, and Citadel's stance on the SEC proposal to scrap Rule 611 of Regulation NMS.

52:03 Situational Awareness, narratives and exit liquidityKey takeaways:
- Father of Trades focuses on long-term swings in undervalued small and mid caps, where he says a 40% accuracy rate can still be very profitable.
- On weeklies and 0DTE, theta is what you fight against. The underlying has to move your way faster than time value burns off.
- He says implied volatility gets crushed by earnings most of the time, so he prefers to buy after earnings when options get cheaper.
- Low open interest on a strike, such as about 30 contracts, signals poor liquidity for entering with size and for exiting.
- Rule 611 of Regulation NMS has required since 2005 that orders fill at the best displayed price. Citadel says eliminating it would reduce liquidity, weaken price discovery and leave retail worse off.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Scott Ellam, CEO of UK-listed XCE (Connecting Excellence Group), joins hosts Joe and Jody to explain how his executive recruitment business pairs a roll-up acquisition strategy with an integrated Bitcoin treasury. The conversation covers the MSCI proposal that could remove Strategy ($MSTR) and Metaplanet from global indexes, Lyn Alden's Orange Juice, UK politics and capital gains tax, the 1.5 trillion trapped in UK ISAs and SIPPs, and why more small businesses holding Bitcoin matters. The episode closes with the Friday stack giveaway and a Predyx market on whether Bitcoin hits 50,000 or 70,000 first.

34:19 McDonald's analogy and fractional chief Bitcoin officers
38:42 Friday stack giveaway and Predyx 50K vs 70K market
42:39 Where to follow Scott Ellam and XCEKey takeaways:
- Scott founded executive recruitment firm Spencer Riley in 2014, started stacking Bitcoin on the balance sheet in 2021, and took XCE public to integrate the operating business with the Bitcoin treasury.
- XCE's acquisition model buys small recruitment firms for little cash up front, with earn-outs over three to five years, and moves acquired cash reserves into Bitcoin so that part of a deal is cash neutral.
- Scott said that if he were negotiating with the UK government, he would not flinch from asking for zero capital gains tax, because once that is unlocked everything else follows.
- He estimated 1.5 trillion is trapped in UK ISAs and SIPPs, where savers cannot access Bitcoin directly.
- Scott expects demand for fractional chief Bitcoin officers or Bitcoin strategists placed into private equity firms and traditional businesses over the next four to eight years.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Maurizio Pedrazzoli Grazioli, Mr. M of the Mr. M Podcast, joins The Daily Stack to discuss the Coldcard incident, which he says compromised almost 8,000 people, and what it means for self custody, trust and community sentiment. They cover British HODL's critique of Bitcoin purity tests, ETFs like $IBIT and Strategy ($MSTR), conspiracy theories around the bug, and the silence from NVK. Maurizio also demos his open source Bitcoin dashboard and shares his market view, including a $48K base case if price goes lower.

52:29 Maurizio's open source dashboard and vibe coding
1:02:25 MVRV, $48K base case and a sideways outlookKey takeaways:
- Maurizio says almost 8,000 people were compromised in the Coldcard incident, which he calls a deep cut because Coldcard was the most trusted option for hardcore Bitcoiners.
- Having lost his own stack in 2013, he offered to talk with victims and stresses staying calm, since panic leads to more mistakes when moving coins.
- He argues self custody is not for everyone, that holding $IBIT is better than no bitcoin, and that toxicity makes Bitcoiners Bitcoin's biggest enemy.
- He believes the Coldcard bug was most likely a mistake rather than a conspiracy, and suggests NVK may have been legally advised to stay quiet.
- He built an open source dashboard at the Mr. M Podcast site and says a $48K level, where the ETFs started, is his base case if price goes lower, while he expects sideways trading.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Binance US CEO Steve Gregory joins The Daily Stack to explain how Binance US, a separate entity from Binance.com, is rebuilding in the U.S. after the regulatory issues tied to CZ. He also discusses its newly filed CFTC designated contract market application for crypto derivatives and future prediction markets, the state-by-state money transmitter patchwork, and stablecoins.

- Binance US is a separate entity from Binance.com with its own governance and licenses, and Steve Gregory says it held roughly 24% U.S. market share before Binance.com's legal issues.
- Binance US filed its designated contract market application with the CFTC. The initial product will be margined crypto derivatives, prediction markets will follow, and a DCO filing is planned in about a month.
- Steve says Binance.com does about 10% more daily volume than the NASDAQ, and that at one point 70% of stablecoins in circulation were held on Binance.com.
- Binance US has seen an inflow of crypto deposits recently, though the DEX to centralized exchange volume ratio was the highest ever last month.
- Steve says it feels like Bitcoin is bottoming, citing positive ETF inflows, and believes ETFs have made bear markets less severe.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Lev of the Jersey City Bitcoin Meetup and Mauricio Di Bartolomeo of Ledn join The Daily Stack, with co-host Halston, to discuss the Coldcard incident, broken trust, and why spreading bitcoin across multisig, single sig, and custodial options avoids a single point of failure. Mauricio explains why liquidations exist in collateralized lending, how Ledn holds client bitcoin in BitGo cold storage, and why he sees short squeeze risk as larger than liquidation cascade risk with bitcoin hovering around 60K. The conversation also covers the plebs vs. BIP 110 fracture, the value of local meetups, and Lev's take on Andreas Antonopoulos's The Internet of Money.

30:34 Ledn, BitGo and qualified custody vs. self custody
44:09 Bitcoin outlook: forced sellers and short squeeze risk
52:03 Lev on The Internet of Money and running nodesKey takeaways:
- Lev spreads his bitcoin across a Ledger and Trezor multisig, an Unchained multisig, single sig, Strike, and Ledn so no single failure can wipe him out.
- Mauricio said risk is like energy: it can be moved but not eliminated, so no-liquidation loans shift that risk onto the lender.
- Mauricio noted that one-year put option hedges cost about 8 to 10%, so a lower-priced protected loan should raise questions about how the risk is hedged.
- Bitcoin sent to a Ledn transaction account goes straight to BitGo cold storage, and auto top-up is now used on 40% of Ledn's loan book.
- Mauricio views leverage as healthy at current levels and sees the risk of a short squeeze as larger than the risk of a liquidation cascade.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Maurizio says almost 8,000 people were compromised in the Coldcard incident, which he calls a deep cut because Coldcard was the most trusted option for hardcore Bitcoiners.
- He argues Bitcoin is never fully trustless: you trust the network plus any wallet or custody company you use, so the goal is to reduce how many companies you trust.
- His safety tip: when moving coins, stay calm, avoid panic moves, flip your phone over and double check the address. He says he once lost about $25,000 to a distracted mistake.
- He agrees with British HODL that self-custody is not for everyone and says the biggest enemy of Bitcoin is Bitcoiners attacking newcomers who buy an ETF.
- He expects self-custody's share to shrink unless custody UX improves, citing Casa's work on UX after talking with its CEO Nick.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

56:16 Visión de Aureo para Latinoamérica y dónde encontrarlosPuntos clave:
- Según Gustavo, una encuesta indica que alrededor del 20% de la población mexicana cree que Bitcoin es una estafa, por fraudes hechos en su nombre.
- La principal traba para que los comercios acepten Bitcoin en México es contable: no existe un marco para emitir factura fiscal cuando se paga en Bitcoin.
- Un informe de Aureo encontró que el 75% de la riqueza de los hogares mexicanos está en bienes raíces, lo que Gustavo describe como un problema de diversificación.
- Las remesas rondan los 60,000 millones de dólares al año, pero los pagos transfronterizos entre México y Estados Unidos suman unos 900,000 millones.
- Para Gustavo, el error más común de los emprendedores es abandonar demasiado rápido. Su consejo es empezar pequeño y dejar que el mercado indique qué construir.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

Avi Mash and Jody Flournoy host UK Bitcoin accountant Robin Thatcher and Eric Yakes, author of The 7th Property and founder of Bitcoin only VC Epoch Ventures. Robin explains UK tax rules for self custody, why ISAs and pensions push people toward Bitcoin treasury company proxies like Strategy ($MSTR), Smarter Web and B HODL, and why he likes Saylor's $STRC. Eric discusses the Coldcard incident and inside job theories, whether the four year cycle is dead, how open source AI is changing software security, and where Epoch Ventures sees the next wave of Bitcoin adoption.

38:48 Epoch Ventures themes: regulated fintech and freedom tech
42:41 Open source, AI bug hunting and Kimi K3 vs Mythos
48:19 Bitcoin price targets and Predyx 100K oddsKey takeaways:
- Robin Thatcher: UK ISAs allow 20,000 a year tax free, but you cannot hold Bitcoin or ETFs like IBIT in them, so people use proxies like Strategy, Smarter Web or B HODL.
- Robin Thatcher: in the UK, moving Bitcoin between your own wallets or an exchange is not taxable. Only a change in beneficial ownership is a taxable event.
- Robin Thatcher: a company with over 40% of its balance sheet in Bitcoin can become an investment company under accounting rules without realizing it.
- Eric Yakes: an inside job at Coldcard is a plausible suspicion worth investigating, but blaming podcasters who ran ads is grave dancing, since they do not audit random number generation.
- Eric Yakes: if a roughly 50% drawdown marks the bottom after prior 70 to 90% drops, it signals structural change. He sees Bitcoin reaching the 500k to a million range within five years.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Avi Mash, Halston Valencia and Jody Flournoy cover Strategy's $STRC preferred, which is up more than 30% from its $71 June low on buybacks. They also discuss what that means for $MSTR common holders and react to Michael Saylor's Diary of a CEO clip on selling bitcoin to fund dividends. The second half covers the Clarity Act ahead of a possible Senate vote, including Elizabeth Warren's opposition, bank endorsements and Josh Hawley's reported no vote, plus fallout from roughly 100 million in drained self-custody funds and quick hits on $IOVA and the new Daily Stack en Español show.

29:51 Closing thoughts: long-term bitcoin and self-custodyKey takeaways:
- Halston said $STRC is up more than 30% from its $71 June low, trading around 94.50, driven by Strategy's repurchase program.
- Strategy kept the $STRC dividend at 12% in August, and CEO Phong Le said the objective is for it to trade at 99 to 100.
- In the Diary of a CEO clip, Saylor said the break-even is about 3.2% bitcoin appreciation to pay dividends by selling bitcoin, and he expects bitcoin to appreciate about 30% a year for 20 years.
- A prediction market showed 41% odds that the Clarity Act is approved by the Senate in 2026. BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs and SoFi were cited as endorsing it, with JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon as the holdout.
- Jody's closing lesson after roughly 100 million in drained funds: self-custody is not dead, but avoid a single point of failure.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Varda Pandey, a former economist and sales trader based in Singapore and the founder of the education platform Pandemonium, analyzes Strategy ($MSTR) the way a fixed income or derivatives professional would. She covers its convertibles, its preferreds ($STRC, $STRD, $STRK), mNAV dilution, and the Bitcoin price she thinks is needed for confidence to return. The conversation also covers dollar debasement, the liquidity cycle versus the four year Bitcoin cycle, Michael Burry's bet against $NVDA and $MU, and why she calls the AI trade an earnings bubble.

0:55 Varda's background and the Pandemonium platform
6:03 Why buy MSTR instead of Bitcoin: capital structure
10:52 Common stock, convertibles, preferreds and BTC yield
15:08 mNAV, dilution and the accretion threshold
18:26 Inflation, tight liquidity and the cost of leverage
20:51 Does MSTR blow up? Bitcoin level needed for confidence
31:09 Is dollar debasement a five to ten year trade?
40:14 How Varda would fix Strategy: cycles and cash buffer
47:23 Michael Burry, Nvidia, Micron and the AI earnings bubble
55:48 Rapid fire: Bitcoin year end and STRC par
57:58 Optionality misunderstood and Pandemonium wrap upKey takeaways:
- Varda argues that constantly issuing equity to buy Bitcoin structurally pushes mNAV back toward 1 over the long term, especially as more treasury companies compete away the premium.
- The switch from collateralized debt to preferreds moved risk from an acute, price specific unwind to a chronic risk carried by preferred holders across all Bitcoin prices.
- She estimates Bitcoin needs to be in the mid to high 100Ks for confidence in Strategy to return. Her year end guess is 75K to 80K, with a possible dip toward 50K to 55K first.
- She sees STRC trading below par as a vote of no confidence and doubts it gets back to par this year.
- She calls the AI trade an earnings bubble, driven partly by suppliers booking chip price inflation as revenue while hyperscalers capitalize the spend.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Pamela Posada conversa con Lorena Almada, profesora de Bitcoin desde 2018 que vive en Paraguay, en el primer episodio en español de The Daily Stack. Hablan de por qué el dinero sigue siendo un tabú en Latinoamérica, de la inflación, la devaluación y la cultura del crédito, y de qué es y qué no es Bitcoin. También cubren el DCA, las remesas, los errores comunes de principiantes como las estafas, las shitcoins y el FOMO, y la pregunta más frecuente: ¿compro ahora o espero?

- Lorena explica que en Latinoamérica se enfrentan dos problemas a la vez: la inflación y la devaluación de la moneda frente al dólar.
- En Paraguay las tasas de crédito van del 30 al 40%, y para Lorena eso refleja la inflación real que el banco central no reconoce.
- Bitcoin no es trading ni una forma fácil de hacer dinero. Lorena lo presenta como una alternativa de ahorro a largo plazo, fuera del sistema tradicional.
- Según Lorena, en el último ciclo muchas personas perdieron dinero por endeudarse o colateralizar sus bitcoins cuando el precio cayó alrededor de un 50%.
- Ante la pregunta de si es buen momento para comprar, Lorena responde que si te lo estás preguntando, probablemente todavía no has entendido Bitcoin.Escucha y sigue The Daily Stack:

- Weekly $LLY calls at the 1,200 strike were priced around $14, about 1,400 dollars per contract, which Jody called very rich ahead of earnings.
- The host said DraftKings is now available in all 50 states, using a Kalshi style prediction market format where traditional sports betting is not legal.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Per the rundown shared on the show, Coldcard Mk2 and Mk3 seeds generated on firmware 4.0.1 or later (March 2021 onward) are the most at risk. Mk4 and Mk5 seeds generated before 5.6.0 and certain Coldcard Q seeds are also flagged.
- Jody says the flaw involved computer-generated random numbers. Seeds not created with dice rolls could be exploited, and AI code review has made finding such flaws much cheaper.
- Justin says Bitcoin itself is not affected and the hardware wallet is the problem, but newcomers are likely to associate the two.
- Bitcoin 2027 will be held in Nashville next July. Bitcoin Asia is August 27 and 28 at the Hong Kong Convention Center.
- Justin says BTC Inc.'s team and organization have not changed under Nakamoto ownership, and execution has only gotten easier.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Strategy repurchased over 288,000 shares of Stretch for about $25 million at an average price of roughly $86, leaving $975 million in the $1 billion program.
- Strategy's USD reserve grew to $3.75 billion, covering about 25 months of preferred dividends and interest, with no Bitcoin sales or purchases that week.
- Halston argued $25 million was not enough to move Stretch's price and expects larger buys at deeper discounts to push it toward par.
- Jordan argued MSTR and Stretch are not sovereign like self-custodied Bitcoin but serve a different function, and disagreed with Matthew Kratter's view that they take value away from Bitcoin.
- The guests said frequently changing how mNAV is calculated is not a good look for investors, and compared it to changing how CPI is calculated.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

2:10:41 Tesla $TSLA and a possible SpaceX merger
2:15:57 Amazon $AMZN, Reddit $RDDT, $IWM, $MU, NebiusKey takeaways:
- Caleb said interest rate swaps were pricing in about a 40% chance of a rate hike and that big tech capex, not Iran, looks like the main driver of the sell-off.
- A Fermi filing showed half of the new COO's RSUs are forfeited if a first tenant is not signed by July 31. Caleb called this highly unusual and speculated, as his own opinion, that a deal may already be done.
- Caleb pointed to Microsoft trading under 20 times forward earnings and Azure growing over 40% as his reasons for liking $MSFT.
- Problem Sniper said the drop in AI names, with SMH down 23% to 25% from highs, looks to him like an opportunity rather than the end of the AI trade.
- Problem Sniper said his gastroenterologist cousin expects retatrutide FDA approval in Q1 2027, and he called $LLY a long-term hold.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

The Daily Stack previews a big earnings week for $AMZN, $META, $MSFT and $AAPL, with Nick (JFDI) and Jody discussing capex expectations, the $RDDT and Google contract leak, memory stocks like $MU and $SNDK, $CELH, and the FOMC and GDP calendar. Varda Pandey, founder of Pandemonium, then breaks down Strategy ($MSTR): its capital structure, mNAV, convertibles and preferreds like $STRC, dollar debasement, the AI earnings bubble, and where she sees Bitcoin by year end.

- Jody said capex numbers from Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are what matter most this week, while Apple does not really play that game.
- Varda Pandey said much of Strategy's convertible debt was bought by funds trading volatility arbitrage, which is why coupons were close to zero.
- She argued the switch from collateralized debt to preferreds moved risk from an acute Bitcoin price level to chronic risk carried by preferred holders.
- Pande said Bitcoin likely needs to be in the mid to high 100Ks for confidence in Strategy to return, and sees roughly 75K to 80K by year end after a possible dip toward 50K to 55K.
- She called $STRC trading below par a vote of no confidence and said it was marketed as a digital money market instrument, which it is not.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Investor Constantin Kogan joins Avi and a co-host on The Daily Stack to walk through a Bitcoin power law model projecting bear market floors of roughly $61,000 in 2026, $188,000 by 2030 and $582,000 by 2035. He also covers his fund's delta neutral and algorithmic trading approach, tokenization, the Clarity Act, CBDCs, and how Circle's $USDC and Tether's $USDT work and where their risks lie. The episode closes with the political outlook for crypto, his interview with Bitcoin logo designer Joby Weeks, and a Predyx market on whether $BTC hits $75,000 by the end of 2026.

- He describes the power law as a fit to six historical bear market lows. He notes it ignores macro factors and does not guarantee any price.
- He expects the Clarity Act around September or October and calls it one of the most important bullish catalysts for institutional certainty.
- He says his fund's delta neutral strategy targets 2 to 3% a month. He contrasts Bitcoin's 2 to 4% average volatility with under 1% for the S&P 500.
- He argues stablecoin issuers reinvest reserves into US Treasuries, supporting the dollar. He also says he opposes a CBDC and welcomes its restriction until 2030.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Andrew Tilmann, CEO of the Midwest Bitcoin Summit, joins hosts Jody and Avi Mash to discuss whether Bitcoin treasury companies will eventually have to sell BTC. He argues the treasury model is an arbitrage on the fiat system that cannot work long term, and the conversation compares perpetual preferreds at Strive ($ASST) and Strategy. They also cover a new Bitcoin security consortium focused on quantum computing, the Clarity Act, Vivek Ramaswamy, why the Midwest needs a Bitcoin conference, the summit's Bitcoin only policy and cannabis industry partnership, and whether the Bitcoin bottom is in.

- He describes the treasury company race as winner take most, with the best treasury managers coming out ahead.
- Nine firms, including BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy, Fidelity and Blockstream, pledged $15 million over three years for Bitcoin security research focused on quantum computing. Tilmann is not too concerned about quantum risk.
- The Midwest Bitcoin Summit bans explicit altcoin sponsors and has a zero tolerance policy on shilling other cryptos from the stage.
- Tilmann sees 58K as strong support and thinks the bottom is in, barring a black swan event.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Buzz lets you log in with a Nostr key, but at signup Jordan could only use a Block-hosted relay, not his own.
- Jody suggested testing Buzz with just you and your agents first rather than moving a whole team over.
- Grain of Salt downloads CSV data from TradingView so the AI works from a known, timestamped source instead of cached data.
- Grain of Salt explained that amplification falls as Bitcoin rises, citing about 40% for Strategy and 60% for Strive, which has no debt.
- Grain of Salt said Strategy's net debt leverage is about 6% and its dividend coverage is back to 22 months.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Problem Sniper says $SPY breaking the 750 to 754 region could lead to all time highs, with a bear gap filling at 751.
- He is watching 218 on $MRVL this week, and a break could run toward the 230 to 244 zone.
- He sees the same bullish divergence on Bitcoin as in 2022, says reclaiming 72,000 to 75,000 could lead back to all time highs, and expects a year end close around 90K to 100K.
- $META has an 8 to 10 month consolidation, and the 9 crossing over the 20 is a setup he is watching for a run into earnings.
- He notes Michael Burry is short $MU around 1050 and thinks a break of that level could trigger a squeeze.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Joey said he trimmed $GOOGL after its multiple expanded and rotated into Meta, which he described as his second largest position.
- The panel noted Google holds about 14% of Anthropic, according to its antitrust case.
- JFDI said he sees Bitcoin reaching 110K before year end, with the caveat that the current low holds. The host created a market on whether Bitcoin hits 75K by December 31, 2026.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

David Marulli, author of Bitcoin Consolidated Volume 1 and a 31-year commercial real estate veteran with over $1 billion in transactions, joins The Daily Stack with host Jody and a co-host to explain how understanding Bitcoin changed his view of money, inflation and wealth. They compare Bitcoin and digital credit instruments like Stretch ($STRC) and $SATA to cash-flowing real estate, discuss Stretch trading below par, inflation data, the US government moving seized Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime, and BIP 110. The episode closes with a quote guessing game and a preview of David's talk at the Midwest Bitcoin Summit in Columbus.

47:13 BIP 110 prediction market and OP_RETURN debate
49:52 Wrap up: Midwest Bitcoin Summit and David's bookKey takeaways:
- David still sees commercial real estate as a superior way to store capital and generate cash flow, but says understanding Bitcoin changed how he views inflation and the economy.
- He compares Bitcoin to an appreciating building without cash flow, and says digital credit like Stretch and SATA, paying between 12 and 13% according to him, adds the cash flow piece without insurance, underwriting or tenants.
- He suggests Stretch could mirror SATA's daily dividend to avoid ex-dividend dates knocking value off the share price.
- He argues the number of US dollars grows about 8% per year, so a bond earning 4% or 5% still loses ground.
- He no longer orange pills people. Instead he tells them to study Bitcoin through books and videos from people like Andreas Antonopoulos, Michael Saylor, Lyn Alden and Jeff Booth and decide for themselves.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Guest Nate Sharp of Sharp on Sats, a Bitcoiner since 2013 with a background in software sales, joins Halston Valencia and a co-host on The Daily Stack to discuss why he thinks many Bitcoiners misunderstand digital credit products like Stretch and SATA, how he came around on Michael Saylor and $MSTR, and Saylor's stance on BIP 110.

- Nate says digital credit has only existed in this form for six to nine months, while most large pools of capital need a minimum of three years of performance before considering it.
- He argues products like Stretch and SATA are an easier way to start conversations with treasurers and boards than going straight to bitcoin, which they see as volatile.
- He suggests flipping the $MSTR question from how much bitcoin your shares are worth to how many shares equal one bitcoin.
- On Bitcoin improvement proposals he takes a less is more stance because of second and third order consequences.
- His career advice: you don't need a job in Bitcoin; find your edge, get paid for it, and store the value you create in bitcoin.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

1:10:40 Prediction markets and the Core vs Knots debateKey takeaways:
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order establishing a statewide temporary pause on new hyperscale AI data centers.
- The host argues companies that already have data centers and power access, especially legacy Bitcoin miners like Hut 8, may benefit as data center buildouts become a political issue heading into midterms.
- A GBrain stores compact company knowledge as markdown files in GitHub so agents get condensed truths plus an index to raw data, which avoids context bloat.
- The 21rates.com CRM was built on an existing Supabase Postgres database, a Hermes agent on a 4 GB RAM VPS, and a web app with Google OAuth.
- Suggested workflow: use frontier models like Fable or GPT 5.6 Sol for strategy and planning, then hand implementation to a coding model like GLM 5.2.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

2:16:52 Chip stocks: AMD, ASML, Micron, SanDisk, Reddit
2:25:25 Bitcoin weekly bullish divergenceKey takeaways:
- Father of Trades said his Goldman Sachs thesis rested on its diverse business, large arbitrage desk and skill at handling volatility.
- He argued hyperscalers will keep renting from neoclouds like Nebius because building in-house is costly and slow, and outsourcing shifts liability to a third party.
- His Fermi thesis centers on co-founder Rick Perry's Texas connections, the Amarillo campus sitting on a large aquifer, and an expected anchor tenant announcement.
- On ASML, he suggested waiting for implied volatility to be crushed after earnings, since strong results may already be priced in.
- Problem Sniper pointed to a weekly bullish divergence on Bitcoin, a lower low in price with a higher low on RSI, similar to setups he saw on SPY in 2020 and 2022.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- JFDI said QQQ is in week 11 of a weekly range. If it does not break out next week, he would expect a drop through the floor, possibly to 650 to 680, before resuming higher.
- JFDI said XLE looks like a pause before continuing higher, and his momentum indicator shows the overbought readings fully reset.
- On Reddit, JFDI said above 210 he thinks it rips, and below 210 it is check and chill.
- JFDI said he would not want to hold Nebius back to 150, but would be interested in starting a position near 150 if he were not already in it.
- JFDI pounds the table on segregating capital by strategy. The host shared that his hands-off account for his dad is up about 150% in two years while his active account swings much more.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Not financial advice.Mon, 13 Jul 2026 - 1h 00min - 185 - Hubertus Hofkirchner: Why Bitcoin Needs a Credit Layer to Be Money
Austrian economist and former Citibank banker Hubertus Hofkirchner, founder of the open source Bitcredit Protocol, argues that Bitcoin must become a medium of exchange, not just digital gold, or it will eventually fade. He explains how electronic bills of exchange and non-custodial Chaumian e-cash mints could move real supply chains, such as cocoa and coffee, onto Bitcoin without fiat banks. The conversation also covers Bitcoin near 63k, ETF outflows, Michael Saylor's Strategy, CBDCs, AI and inflation, housing affordability, and the BIP 110 spam debate, with Jody joining at the close.

48:58 How Bitcredit works: e-bills, Chaumian e-cash and Wildcat mints
56:46 Bitcredit mainnet launch and closing thoughtsKey takeaways:
- Hofkirchner argues that if Bitcoin only remains a financial asset and never becomes a medium of exchange, it will eventually fade, calling it potentially the last meme coin to disappear.
- He says banks should never be allowed to create money, but a Bitcoin economy will still need commercial banks to collect Bitcoin savings and lend them to sound businesses.
- He rejects the idea that AI productivity will contain inflation, citing Baumol's cost disease and noting that AI cannot fight scarcity, for example beachfront housing.
- Bitcredit uses electronic bills of exchange and non-custodial Chaumian e-cash mints so each stage of a supply chain can pay workers in Bitcoin, aiming at a 2.5 trillion trade finance gap, about 120 billion of it in Africa.
- On spam, he says the fee market and proof of work handle it, suggests the SegWit discount formula needs slight tweaking, and expects BIP 110 to prove a nothing burger once Bitcoin monetizes.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

GoMining CEO Mark Zalan joins The Daily Stack, with hosts Jody and Halston, to discuss Michael Saylor's 'let the fees decide' stance on BIP 110 and the Core vs Knots debate. He also covers the challenges facing Bitcoin miners, including competition from AI data centers. Mark explains how GoMining tokenizes hash rate so retail users can earn daily $BTC mining rewards, and how its new Go BTC Pay protocol aims to enable instant layer 1 Bitcoin payments.

31:03 Borrowing against Bitcoin and hash power
33:33 Wisdom of crowds and the BIP 110 decisionKey takeaways:
- Mark says that historically, mining Bitcoin has been at least 2x more profitable than buying and holding.
- GoMining manages about 18 exahash of hash power. Retail users own about 15.5 exahash of it through the app, and the ecosystem has over 5 million people.
- Go BTC Pay was rolled out at Consensus in Miami in May and reached general availability on June 19. It uses GoMining's ability to prioritize transactions into its own blocks to enable instant layer 1 payments.
- Mark sees AI and mining demand profiles as complementary. AI compute demand drops at night, which is when capacity could switch to mining.
- Mark is ambivalent about the Core vs Knots outcome and credits the Bitcoin community's adaptability, citing the book The Wisdom of Crowds.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Jody and Jordan Urbs of AI Captains compare two ways to build an AI company brain: Jordan's simple markdown knowledge base with CLAUDE.md routing rules, and Jody's Garry Tan GBrain setup shared through a GitHub repo. Jake Lewis, co-founder and managing partner of ATX Logic, then explains his layered agent stack, getting the data layer right with Postgres, orphan page cleanup, moving from OpenClaw to Hermes agents, and avoiding vendor lock-in. The episode closes with a discussion of whether Bitcoin can reach 100K in 2026.

59:33 Bitcoin outlook: can it reach 100K in 2026?Key takeaways:
- Jordan keeps large files like a brand guide out of every new session and uses CLAUDE.md routing rules so the agent reads only the files relevant to the prompt.
- Jake Lewis describes his stack as humans above agents, agents above skills, skills above tools, and tools above data, with a thin harness and fast skills.
- Jake's test: ask your agent where an answer came from, which source wins when sources conflict, and what changed after the last human correction.
- Jake recommends mapping your data and designing the schema before ingestion, and prefers Neon as a Postgres server.
- Jake warns that relying on subsidized frontier model platforms risks vendor lock-in and advises backing up your own database.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Swan Bitcoin founder and CEO Cory Klippsten joins The Daily Stack, with co-host Jody among the hosts, to explain Swan's Real Bitcoin Exchange (RBX). RBX lets ETF holders, especially long-time $GBTC holders paying a 1.5% fee, convert shares into real on-chain bitcoin while carrying their cost basis forward. The conversation also covers Saylor's $216 million bitcoin sale and leveraged treasury models, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and stablecoin and Clarity legislation, the Bitcoin Season documentary with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Klutch Sports Group, and Cory's view that bitcoin's next all-time high comes in 2027 rather than this calendar year.

32:57 Iren's Warriors deal, CEO pay and promoting the ticker
38:43 When bitcoin returns to all-time highs
41:36 What's next for Swan: Generations and Vigil ProtocolKey takeaways:
- Cory says RBX lets ETF holders exchange shares for on-chain bitcoin in a structured broker-dealer setup, carrying cost basis forward. He notes it matters most for $GBTC holders, since $IBIT and $FBTC are currently underwater.
- He calls $GBTC's 1.5% fee roughly 10x Morgan Stanley's and 6x BlackRock's and Fidelity's, and estimates about $10 billion of bitcoin sits in the product.
- On leveraged bitcoin treasury companies, he says perpetual leverage must be actively managed and will show tracking error over time. His general rule is to keep at least 80% of bitcoin price exposure in real on-chain bitcoin.
- He frames the current era as a long war between Bitcoin's network effect and the dollar's network effect, now that the Bitcoin versus altcoins fight is over.
- Cory expects no new all-time high this calendar year but sees one in 2027, and argues that narrative follows price rather than causing it.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Davi Strazza says Lightspark is part of the 140 plus company OpenUSD consortium and will accept OpenUSD across Lightspark and Spark.
- He says Genius and Clarity give stablecoins a regulatory path that Libra never had.
- Lightspark lets users give AI agents limited, permissioned access to funds through what it calls bonded delegation.
- Lightspark powers SoFi's international P2P transfers, which flow over Bitcoin without SoFi or users touching Bitcoin directly.
- On the stock segment, Wells Fargo was cited forecasting Reddit's Google and OpenAI licensing deals could reach a combined $550 million annually from a $130 million run rate.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Metaplanet community member Bitcoin Pharaoh joins Avi Mash and Jody Flournoy on The Daily Stack to discuss Metaplanet trading at roughly 80 cents per dollar of bitcoin it holds, and what management can do next, including buybacks, its options income book, and the $MPJPY sponsored ADR versus $MTPLF. The conversation also covers yen debasement and low Japanese borrowing costs as tailwinds, Strategy's ($MSTR) digital credit framework for Stretch, and Strategy's small bitcoin sale aimed at rating agencies. It closes with the guest's case for contrarian, concentrated investing.

20:41 Strategy's digital credit framework and Stretch
29:50 Next treasury company to sell bitcoin
32:51 World Cup predictions and soccer in the US
37:09 Closing thoughts on contrarian investingKey takeaways:
- Bitcoin Pharaoh argues that when a company is growing bitcoin per share, buying back stock at a discount can add more value than selling equity at a premium.
- He says roughly 97% of Metaplanet's revenue now comes from its options book, which scales with the treasury in a way a hotel business could not.
- $MPJPY is a sponsored Level 1 ADR launched in December, and he expects liquidity to concentrate there over time rather than in the unsponsored $MTPLF listing.
- He views Japan as out of options and expects continued yen debasement, with low borrowing costs acting as a structural tailwind for Metaplanet.
- He sees Strategy's sale of 32 bitcoin as signaling and expects gradually larger sales aimed at proving liquidity to rating agencies.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

27:01 Fold's summer rewards platform teaser and wrapKey takeaways:
- Fold sold about $45 million of Bitcoin around $71,000. Reeves says selling Bitcoin represents conviction in the underlying business and was about de-risking ahead of summer launches.
- Reeves says Fold is not a net accumulator of Bitcoin. He places Saylor on one end of the treasury spectrum and Fold on the other, buying and selling to support the operating business.
- The Fold card offers flat rewards with no caps or categories and no need to lock up Bitcoin on the platform. It is still in early access.
- Reeves says being publicly listed brings a halo that opens partnerships and doors for a Bitcoin company.
- Reeves would take no on Bitcoin reaching $150,000 by end of 2026. He calls reclaiming the mid 80s a strong position.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Prediction market odds for the Clarity Act passing this year fell from 70% to roughly 40%, but Colbert says the process is far from dead.
- The goal is to get the bill through the Senate by the end of July, before the August recess when members go home to campaign.
- Democrats' two big political concerns are a CFTC with only one commissioner and ethics rules for elected officials, including the president.
- A stablecoin rewards compromise ties rewards to usage rather than bank-style interest, though some in banking still challenge it.
- The bill affirms the right to self custody, includes Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act protections for developers and would clarify Bitcoin as a commodity.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

49:37 How to reach BitRoots, and the World CupKey takeaways:
- BitRoots traces coins past the block reward to the specific miner, facility, energy source and location, then issues a separate certificate. It writes no data to the chain.
- Vaughan says Ethiopia earned 200 million US dollars in 2025 by selling otherwise unused dam electricity to Bitcoin miners and is using the money to connect rural villages to the grid.
- Chainalysis style screening is probabilistic. Vaughan calls freshly mined coins from vetted miners "compliance by design" because they carry no prior ownership risk.
- Vaughan argues that coins are technically fungible but are priced differently in practice: OFAC listed UTXOs are harder to sell, while some institutions prefer lower risk coins.
- Vaughan recounts Saylor's point in Prague that small treasury companies can double their holdings more easily than Strategy can.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

56:25 MSTR options question, fondue and World CupKey takeaways:
- Yves said BTC Prague felt far more Bitcoin centric and friendly in person than the treasury vs maximalist infighting on X.
- STRC was trading around 75 during the show, and Yves had to build backup slides explaining why Strategy's balance sheet is robust.
- A Lightning based prediction market showed odds of MSTR missing a 2026 dividend jumping to about 27% in June, which the hosts read as a sentiment gauge rather than a fundamental signal.
- Yves sees the 32 BTC sale as a signal to credit agencies that Strategy is willing to sell Bitcoin, not the cause of the price drop.
- Yves expects a dividend increase for STRC, likely 50 bips, if the VWAP stays under 99.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

She also discusses Bitcoin's path toward becoming a reserve asset, why decentralization is probably a feature, the blurring line between private and public markets, why tokenization infrastructure is not ready, altcoins going corporate, and whether AI is a bubble.

28:46 Altcoins going corporate: Chainlink and financial plumbing
34:17 Hot take: tokenization is further off than people think
38:16 Is AI a bubble? Pattern matching vs original thought
47:40 The tollbooth effect: AI, jobs and slow adoptionKey takeaways:
- Snyder says her mom introduced her to Bitcoin in 2013 but had no way to buy it through her existing bank or brokerage, which led to 21Shares.
- Crossing the first $100 million was when she knew the product category would work, because that is the milestone where platforms can start to add you.
- She left after the US Bitcoin ETF launches shifted the investor base toward pension plans and endowments, a different skill set from finding the first $100 million.
- Her contrarian view: tokenization is much further off than people think because the connective tissue, risk models and operations at traditional finance scale are not ready.
- She thinks AI is likely overheated right now but will probably deliver long term, while current LLMs pattern match rather than produce truly original thought.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Bass argues that companies treating AI only as a headcount reduction tool struggle, compared with those using it to cut busy work and do more.
- He worries AI is shrinking demand for junior analysts, which disrupts the mentorship pipeline that produced today's senior leaders.
- Bass sees opportunity in forward deployed engineering, noting that large PE firms have signed deals with Anthropic and OpenAI.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

The Daily Stack hosts cover the five new Nasdaq 100 additions ($CRWV, $ALAB, $NBIS, $RKLB, $TER) and a buy the rumor, sell the news pullback. They also discuss Intel as a politically backed domestic foundry, Bitcoin sitting in extreme fear at a reading of 23, and the stalled Iran peace negotiations in Switzerland involving JD Vance. Other topics include Leopold Aschenbrenner's access to power thesis and a new Texas grid framework that could favor $RIOT, $CORZ and $CIFR, local pushback on data centers in Alabama, the $MU, $SNDK and $DRAM memory trade, and Bitcoin backed lending with sponsor Arch.

21:05 Arch Bitcoin backed loans and liquidity for holdersKey takeaways:
- The five new Nasdaq 100 names ran up after the announcement and sold off on the day they were added, a buy the rumor, sell the news move. The hosts remain bullish on them long term.
- Leopold Aschenbrenner's thesis holds that access to power is the bottleneck you cannot simply build more of. A new Texas grid allocation framework could give miners with existing grid hookups, such as Riot, Core Scientific and Cipher, a defensible moat.
- Conservative communities in Alabama are pushing back on data centers over noise and energy use, which shows opposition is not only coming from the left.
- The hosts said early Anthropic employees and investors could sell at IPO, and some of that capital could flow into Bitcoin, especially from tech native investors.
- Memory demand is tied to AI context. The hosts noted DRAM was around 35 when first discussed on the show and is now around 80, and that Micron's market cap is 1.35 trillion.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- One host sees Intel staying strong for at least a couple of months into the midterms as a domestic chip foundry the administration can support. Intel futures opened 5% up.
- Bitcoin's sentiment reading was 23, which is extreme fear. One host has been doing DCA and is tempted to add more, while the other expects chop and sees attention pulled toward AI.
- ERCOT's new Texas power allocation framework could benefit Bitcoin miners that are becoming data center operators, such as Riot, Core Scientific and Cipher, because they already have grid connections.
- The hosts credited Smarter Trader's Sam for calling $1,200 on Micron when it was around $200. They noted the DRAM ETF moved from the 30s to about 80.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Roxom CEO Borja Martel joins hosts Jody Flournoy and Halston Valencia to debate Mike Alfred's "short SpaceX, long BTC" call, with Martel saying he is long SpaceX in bitcoin terms and expects the bitcoin bear market to bottom between now and October. The group discusses why $STRC (Stretch) and $SATA have traded below par. Martel explains Roxom's daily bitcoin-paid digital credit dividends, its 7.25% bitcoin line of credit, and a "Bitcoin fixed income" carry trade using digital credit and corporate or sovereign bonds.

- Borja Martel said SpaceX IPO'd at roughly 230,000 to 240,000 sats per share. He took the opposite side of Mike Alfred, saying he is long SpaceX in bitcoin terms.
- Martel expects bitcoin to bottom between now and October, based on repeating cycle timing around the halving.
- Halston said capital appears to be moving from $STRC to $SATA. She expects Strategy may need to raise Stretch's yield to get it back to par.
- Martel said Stretch fell to about 82 to 85 and $SATA dropped about 5% in a day with no fundamental reason. He called it a sign that digital credit is still small and maturing.
- Roxom lends against bitcoin at 7.25% with no extra fees. Martel said customers borrow against BTC to buy Stretch or $SATA, or bonds such as Barclays or Santander, to earn transparent bitcoin yield.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Strive's $SATA preferred returned to its $100 par after the Bitcoin selloff. Jody noted its 13% annual yield and the move to daily dividends.
- Sam said $MU went from about 400 to nearly 1,100 since his last appearance and repeated his view that memory demand is not a commodity story.
- Sam described $MSTR as the simplest risk-on Bitcoin play if rates and inflation fall, and said his group bought the 130 calls at 2 and they reached 9.
- Jody questioned what the US may have given up to get the Iran deal done around Trump's birthday and America 250.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

- Penguin Solutions is pivoting from hyperscaler servers to enterprise and sovereign AI factories. The guest says it trades around 25 times fiscal year 26 earnings.
- The guest's stated bear case for FuelCell is a sizable at the money offering, or failing to convert a data center customer before fiscal year end.
- He expects small caps to outperform for the next three to six months. He warns that losing half an account on an 8% Nasdaq pullback signals too much leverage.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

30:48 Kyle Huber on 6102, $MSTR and self custody
35:08 BTC Prague and wrap upKey takeaways:
- Jody called SpaceX a very rich valuation without near term revenue to support it. He said it feels like exit liquidity for early investors and VCs.
- SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC. Musk holds 93.6% of the Class B shares, and the retail allocation is 30% against an industry norm of 5 to 10%.
- Bitcoin's market cap of about $1.27 trillion is smaller than the roughly $1.7 trillion SpaceX IPO. Jody argued AI capex competition makes this cycle different from past four year cycles.
- Strive is debt free, and its $SATA preferred pays about 13% annually, moving to daily dividends beginning June 16.
- A returning Coinbase premium and kimchi premium were described as indicators that Bitcoin demand is coming back, possibly from Korean AI stock wealth rotating into Bitcoin.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Not financial advice.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 - 39min - 163 - Sheldon Weisfeld on Stablecoins, Ramp ATM and AI Agent Payments
Avi Mash interviews Sheldon Weisfeld, who launched the first registered Bitcoin ATM network in the US in 2013 and now runs Ramp ATM Merchant Services. They discuss why stablecoins act as a safe haven in down markets, the Genius Act and Clarity Act, and cross-border remittances with the Philippines as Ramp ATM's first market. They also cover why Sheldon says AI agents will not pay with Visa and Mastercard, the merchant 'good enough problem', a 2026 to 2030 stablecoin adoption roadmap, and a possible bitcoin spike bottom as low as $38,000.

- He says his firm's trade desk sees a possible sharp spike bottom for bitcoin as low as $38,000, and he describes his own approach as dollar cost averaging.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:

Not financial advice.Mon, 08 Jun 2026 - 51min - 162 - Roy Kashi of Falconedge on Bitcoin Yield, Preferreds and $62K
Halston Valencia hosts Roy Kashi, CEO of UK listed Bitcoin treasury and yield company Falconedge, while co-host Jody is away.

Roy also calls $61K to $62K a critical support level, sees Bitcoin back to at least $100K by the end of 2026, and talks about AI, jobs and young people's finances.

41:38 Where to find Roy, Falconedge and Bitcoin PragueKey takeaways:
- Roy dismisses the idea that Strategy selling 32 bitcoin caused the drop. He points instead to rotation into AI and chip stocks, the SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic IPO hype, and geopolitical pressure on oil and rates.
- Strive's SATA pays a 13% annual dividend and moves to daily dividends around June 16th. Stretch pays 11.5% but trades near $95, with an effective yield of about 12.15% back to par.
- Falconedge generated 6.34% Bitcoin yield over its first five months, paid back in Bitcoin, with custody at Fidelity and Kraken.
- Roy calls $61K to $62K a major support level. He says a break could open the mid-40s, but he expects at least $100K by the end of 2026.
- Roy tells his daughters to look for AI-proof jobs and says university and grades matter less than they used to.Listen and follow The Daily Stack:
