About This Episode

In this week’s Hurdle Rate, the crew breaks down Strive’s latest 2,000 Bitcoin purchase, a Q3 that delivered a 99% total return, and the new $500 million SATA repurchase facility. They also discuss the goal of pushing amplification above 60% while Bitcoin is under $100K, why the market is too focused on the downside, and why US capital markets are the major leagues. The episode closes with a recap of the Bitcoin Treasuries Conference and why Luke Gromen’s “paper gold” comparison doesn’t fit digital credit. Here’s the latest with Matt Cole, Jeff Walton, Adam Livingston, and Tim Kotzman.
