Natalie Brunell joins Brandon Green to discuss why institutional adoption, Bitcoin treasury companies, and sovereign accumulation are creating the strongest structural bid Bitcoin has ever seen, all in a bear market. They cover everything from Iran accepting Bitcoin for Strait of Hormuz tolls to Strategy's historic STRC issuance and Morgan Stanley's record-breaking Bitcoin ETF launch. Natalie also previews the Women of Bitcoin Bash honoring Senator Cynthia Lummis at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas.
