Adam Back, legendary cypherpunk and CEO of Blockstream, joins us to break down why Bitcoin treasury companies are emerging as one of the most disruptive forces in finance—and what this shift means for the future of capital markets. From early skepticism to full-blown corporate adoption, Adam unpacks how Bitcoin’s volatility, asymmetric upside, and institutional interest are converging to reshape how the world stores value. In this episode, we dive into why public companies are holding—and aggressively acquiring—Bitcoin, how sovereign wealth funds and pensions are finally moving off zero, and why short-term sellers are handing over BTC to long-term diamond hands. Adam also explains MicroStrategy’s unique playbook, the rise of “Bitcoin-native” corporate balance sheets, and why he believes the next phase of adoption will be deeper, more decentralized, and unstoppable. Whether you’re a retail investor or a boardroom strategist, this episode offers a masterclass in how the Bitcoin treasury revolution is unfolding.
