Your right to self-custody is being quietly negotiated away. Bipartisan deal-making on the stablecoin bill could gut the BRCA provisions that protect Bitcoin developers and your right to hold your own keys. Meanwhile, the Basel framework's 1,250% risk weight makes it so expensive for banks to hold Bitcoin that none of them will and that may be by design. They also dig into Trini Research's viral 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis report and why mass AI disruption could actually be hyper-bullish for Bitcoin.

With just a handful of Bitcoin treasury companies already absorbing more BTC than miners produce, he argues that the next phase of Bitcoin's bull market will be defined not by retail speculation, but by structural corporate demand.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Demand Dynamics & Treasury Outperformance01:44 – Alexandre's Bitcoin Journey05:20 – Corporate Adoption vs Individual Sovereignty10:33 – ECB Skepticism & European Rollout14:46 – Positioning Capital B & Bitcoin-Denominated Convertibles19:18 – Why There is Hope for Europe25:21 – Managing Risk, Leverage, and Cash Buffers34:12 – Media Strategy & Educating Shareholders39:34 – Long-Term Execution vs Short-Term Noise46:21 – Defining a "Bitcoin Treasury Company"51:22 – Credit Markets Built on Bitcoin59:00 – Catalysts: Treasury Demand Crushing Miner Supply01:07:01 – Closing ThoughtsConnect with Alexandre Laizet on X: https://x.com/AlexandreLaizetLearn more about Capital B: https://cptlb.com/Follow Bitcoin For Corporations on X: https://x.com/BitcoinForCorpsLearn more about Bitcoin For Corporations – the executive network for corporate Bitcoin adoption: https://b.tc/corporations#BitcoinForCorporations #AlexandreLaizet #BitcoinReflexivity #BitcoinDemandShock #BitcoinTreasury #CorporateBitcoin #BitcoinAdoption #BitcoinInstitutions #BitcoinStrategy #HyperbitcoinizationDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin for Corporations, or any affiliated entities.
