Saylor also explains how major banks, regulators, and rating agencies are finally embracing Bitcoin, why this marks a pivotal shift for global finance, and how the future of digital capital could completely rewrite the rules of corporate credit and investment.

Dante Cook breaks down how this marks the start of Bitcoin becoming global financial collateral.

One American company called Strategy owns more than 3% of all bitcoin in existence. In August 2020, its executive chairman, Michael Saylor, pioneered a new business model where publicly listed companies buy cryptocurrency assets to hold on their balance sheet.More than 100 other public companies have since followed Saylor's lead and become bitcoin treasury companies, together holding more than $114 billion of bitcoin. There's been a new rush into crypto treasury assets in 2025 following the general crypto enthusiasm of the new Trump administration.But holding bitcoin assets also comes with some big risks, particularly given the volatility of cryptocurrency prices, and the share prices of some of these companies are now coming under pressure.In this episode, we speak to Larisa Yarovaya, director of the centre for digital finance at the University of Southampton in the UK, about whether bitcoin treasury companies are the future of corporate finance, or another speculative bubble waiting to burst.This episode was produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware with assistance from Katie Flood.

C'est une affaire digne d'un scénario hollywoodien qui secoue le Royaume-Uni. La police métropolitaine de Londres vient de réaliser la plus grande saisie de cryptomonnaies de l'histoire : près de 61 000 bitcoins, soit environ 6,8 milliards de dollars au cours actuel.Au cœur de cette opération record, une femme : Qian Zhimin, aussi connue sous le nom de Yadi Zhang, une ressortissante chinoise de 47 ans que la presse locale surnomme déjà la “déesse de la richesse”. Et pour cause : cette fortune colossale n'a rien d'honnête. Entre 2014 et 2017, la suspecte aurait mené une gigantesque escroquerie financière en Chine, qui aurait fait près de 128 000 victimes. L'argent détourné aurait ensuite été converti en bitcoins pour échapper aux autorités. Quand son réseau a été démantelé, Qian Zhimin a pris la fuite, utilisant de faux papiers pour se réfugier au Royaume-Uni. Sur place, elle aurait tenté de blanchir ses cryptos via un enchevêtrement de sociétés-écrans et de comptes anonymes. C'est là que les enquêteurs britanniques, en collaboration avec les autorités chinoises, ont fini par remonter sa trace.La somme saisie dépasse largement les réserves détenues par la plupart des entreprises spécialisées dans les cryptos. À titre de comparaison, Michael Saylor, fondateur de MicroStrategy et fervent défenseur du Bitcoin, en possède personnellement “seulement” 17 000. Reste désormais une question cruciale : que va-t-il advenir de cette fortune numérique ? Les procédures pour restituer l'argent aux victimes s'annoncent longues et complexes, notamment en raison du cadre juridique international autour des cryptomonnaies. Une chose est sûre : cette affaire hors norme rappelle que l'univers du Bitcoin reste un Far West financier, où fortunes et fraudes se côtoient encore dangereusement. Hébergé par Acast.

In this exclusive Bitcoin Conference interview, legendary entrepreneur and real estate mogul Grant Cardone shares his bold new investment thesis: merging institutional real estate with Bitcoin.Cardone breaks down his powerful formula for wealth — get it, keep it, multiply it — and explains why he's using cash-flowing property to dollar-cost average into Bitcoin without needing to "buy" it outright. He also discusses how renters are effectively buying Bitcoin for his investors, why most people misunderstand wealth creation, and how his model will onboard millions of people into Bitcoin without them ever realizing it.From critiques of the middle-class mindset to his hottest takes on Bitcoin adoption and Michael Saylor's approach, this is one of Cardone's most candid conversations ever.⭐ SIGN UP WITH DUELBITS TODAY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN UP TO 2 BTC: https://bm.b.tc/YT-Duelbits (ad)Connect with Grant Cardone on X: https://x.com/GrantCardoneConnect with Isabella Santos on X: https://x.com/isabellasg3Chapters:00:00 – Intro: The Formula for Money & Attention02:31 – Renters Buying Bitcoin: Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy04:25 – The Wealth Creation Myth vs. Reality06:19 – Printing Money & Why the Rich Still Get Richer08:04 – How to Get, Keep, and Multiply Money10:34 – Advice for the Middle Class11:22 – Real Estate vs. Bitcoin: Cash Flow vs. Store of Value13:53 – Cardone's Bitcoin Sales Pitch16:25 – Cardone's Hottest Take: Onboarding People Who Don't Care About Bitcoin17:36 – Michael Saylor's Criticism and Cardone's Response#GrantCardone #Bitcoin #RealEstate #BitcoinConference #RealEstateInvesting #BitcoinStrategy #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #CashFlow #MicroStrategy #BitcoinAdoption #BitcoinNews #PassiveIncome #MoneyMindset #CryptoInvesting
New Sode Glitter Ledger; I must be the only person on God's Green Earth who is so deeply unimpressed with AI. Have you ever heard one of your peers or staff speak with authority on the topic without sounding like a complete pompous asshole with small anatomy and/or a troubling complexion? Alas, I consider myself a deeply attractive pompous asshole with a kind stalker-like disposition . As such, I use ChatGPT like rest of my well bred waspy goldigging alcoholic materialistic sxually starved intellectuals for concoctions on how to seduce a Sheik or for how to leverage all of my alimony into a House in St St. Tropez. Otherwise, I see the AI use cases as a Communist Manifesto; good idea in practice, but everyone ends up #poor. Perhaps automated workflows are uninteresting to yours truly because I have no workflow to automate. Ipso Facto; wake me when #AI can give my husband a uknowwhat and design a powerpoint that designs a plan to launder money for the lazy. I digress,, my guest today is a real Crypto Nigerian Prince, side ordered as a well dressed Zoologist turned Ava Labs Executive. Not to be confused with an Avalanche Foundation executive. Yes, Afeez Awowole. He is a sought after guest and heavily edited my questions because most were too personal and likely indictable. I was looking forward to learning how to cook the books beyond throwing my journals into boiling water. I asked him why #accounting is so boring. I asked how to talk about balance sheets with a hint of mortifying sexual tension. When I was high on quaaludes I took out a mortgage that I made on crayons to buy more #AVAX and could only eat chickpeas and prosecco for 3 weeks. ButI lost a stone so I am bullish. Furthermore, my ex had a penchant for the P-chain.#Avalanche is the less cute stepsister of #Solana with an Ivy League degree and a #vicodin problem. She has what it takes to succeed with meaningful useless institutional partnerships for real world assets that I cannot melt down into a bullet. Real world assets should not be on-chain and should be in a #vault. Although I have some assets onchain I lost them because it is too goddamn complicated to retrieve. But like #Jesus Christ rising on Easter, Avax too will rise. I digress, Awkle met during the early days of Facebook in Ireland, I was working as a cocktail waitress on the lam and he helped set up a sick album. I was desperately in love with him but he maintained that he couldn't marry a married woman . Instead he agreed to help me put my ConED on autopay and teach me the zoology of #Ocelots. He is deeply intelligent to the point of sinister intrigue. His accent is a country club pour of Miles Davis meets Michael Saylor meets Liam Neeson. If this Nigerian Prince says Avalanche will change the world then it's indeed time to take out a third mortgage in Cray Paux right in time for Halloween. #GlitterLedger #Avax #AutomateMyPChainSupport the show

The U.S. government just shut down for the first time in seven years—markets are shaky, the dollar's sliding, gold is climbing… but Bitcoin is breaking higher. While politicians argue and budgets stall, Bitcoin keeps running—no shutdowns, no bailouts, no permission needed. Michael Saylor calls it a migration from gold to Bitcoin, and Jack Mallers says the real flippening is already underway—from treasuries to a neutral reserve asset. Even Telegram's CEO sees $1 million Bitcoin on the horizon.

We continue unpacking the NATpaper with Part 2 — diving deep into why $NAT has evolved from a novel idea to a structural necessity for Bitcoin's long-term sustainability. With @SpiderPool_com, one of Bitcoin's largest mining pools, officially integrating @natgmi rewards, we're witnessing the early stages of an alternate security model being adopted at scale. We explore the fundamental question: can Bitcoin survive as a global monetary system without rethinking its incentive structure? From dissecting Michael Saylor's shifting perspective to drawing parallels between @blockbuster collapse and Bitcoin's resistance to innovation, we lay out the full picture of what's at stake. This isn't just about NAT anymore — it's about whether Bitcoin remains decentralized or becomes a Ponzi for sovereign nations. We explain how NAT enables a second subsidy, how it ties directly to miner activity via the bits field, and why DMT opens the door to Bitcoin-aligned utility across other chains. If you're a miner, developer, or policymaker — this is your blueprint for how Bitcoin can evolve without compromising its core ethos. This is NATstoppable. Let's build forward. Topics: First up, Spiderpool becomes the first major Bitcoin miner to integrate NAT rewards, signaling real adoption of a second subsidy. Next, the team breaks down the deeper implications of this move — questioning Bitcoin's long-term sustainability and the flawed assumption that price alone will secure the network. Then, revisiting Michael Saylor's evolving stance on protocol changes and contrast it with the Knots vs Core debate, raising the alarm on complacency in Bitcoin. And finally, outlining how NAT and DMT unlock a minimally invasive model for decentralized apps to return value to Bitcoin—without parasitically draining it.

GMoney dives deep into the ongoing battle over Bitcoin's identity, arguing that it is far more than “just money.” Revisiting the OP_RETURN Wars of 2014, he explains how cultural resistance within the Bitcoin developer community pushed innovation like tokenization and decentralized apps onto Ethereum, while Bitcoin's potential as an immutable ledger of truth was downplayed. With historical context, quotes from figures like Julian Assange, Michael Saylor, and Elon Musk, and a sharp critique of Bitcoin “maxis” who want to limit its scope, GMoney makes the case for Bitcoin as the world's first incorruptible history book. From counterparty tokens and memetic power like Rare Pepes, to tokenization of securities, real estate, and culture itself, the episode highlights why anchoring data to Bitcoin's base layer ensures truth cannot be erased or rewritten. Packed with rants, ads, and cultural analysis, this episode blends history, finance, and philosophy into a no-holds-barred defense of Bitcoin's destiny as humanity's timechain of truth.
Michael Saylor just made shocking comments about the Bitcoin Core developer community—and it's not what anyone expected. Whether you think Saylor's a hero or overstepping, this moment could mark a major turning point in Bitcoin governance and long-term vision.

The Trump family's latest venture—a so-called “crypto treasury” stock—could generate their biggest payday through the WLFI token from World Liberty Financial, while being a potential minefield for investors. The offering follows the success of Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, now renamed as Strategy, a “bitcoin treasury company” that accumulates bitcoin by using debt and new stock issues to keep on buying more.

Ticker Shock provides insights to help finance-curious listeners connect the dots between what's happening in policy, markets and the economy to their financial lives and investments.

The hash power wars are heating up—and $NAT might just become Bitcoin's first trillion-dollar commodity. We break down why the SEC's surprising crypto-friendly shift could supercharge Ethereum treasuries, why Trump is suddenly shilling Bitcoin, and how hash power economics could redefine BTC's value layer. We dive into how $NAT aligns with Bitcoin's long-term security budget, why ETH treasuries are a multi-year asymmetric bet, Michael Saylor's unfair advantage and what ETH projects must learn, the real implications of stablecoin dominance and global adoption, and the macro triggers like rate cuts, unemployment, and the next BTC all-time high. If you're here for memes, market structure, and the kind of alpha you can't get from CNBC, you're in the right place.

The panel opened with reflections on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent violent events, framing them through the lens of The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe.Discussion on how history moves in ~80–100 year cycles of crisis and renewal, with Bitcoin and decentralized protocols potentially forming the backbone of the next institutional order.John emphasized perspective, comparing today's turmoil with past upheavals (1960s, 1970s, World Wars), and highlighted the role of media saturation in shaping perceptions.Panelists praised Kirk's willingness to debate respectfully, lamenting the erosion of open dialogue in society.Shifted to macro: China's gold accumulation as a hedge against dollar hegemony, interpreted as part of a global move toward neutral reserve assets—gold today, Bitcoin tomorrow.Deep dive into U.S. financial surveillance: the inefficiencies of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and threats of extending the Patriot Act to digital assets. Panelists argued KYC/AML laws are largely ineffective at stopping crime but very effective at surveilling citizens.Highlighted the DOJ's case against Samourai Wallet as an example of U.S. hostility toward Bitcoin privacy tools.Covered this week's major supply-chain attack on NPM packages, noting minimal impact but using it as a PSA: always verify addresses on hardware wallets and beware phishing scams.Tether launched a U.S.-regulated stablecoin (USAT). The panel explored how this intersects with the Genius Act, which would require stablecoin reserves to be in U.S. Treasuries, effectively creating a new forced buyer of U.S. debt.Quick hits: MicroStrategy denied S&P 500 inclusion (for now), BLS quietly revised U.S. job numbers down by 900k, Gemini goes public, and Michael Saylor positions MicroStrategy as a “Bitcoin capital markets” play.

JB White dives deep into the unfolding global reset, exploring the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, and how Donald Trump's vision for Bitcoin and stablecoins could reshape the financial landscape. He unpacks the invisible enemies working against America, China's long game with corporations like Apple, and the role of Elon Musk and Michael Saylor in the new economic battle plan. From Ukraine's resistance against Russia to the coming shift from “Department of Defense” to “Department of War,” JB connects the dots between geopolitics, finance, and national sovereignty. Tune in for a fiery and unapologetic breakdown of why nothing can stop what is coming.
JB White returns with a fiery Monday edition of the RattlerGator Report, mixing college football passion with hard-hitting cultural and political commentary. He opens by defending Florida's coach Billy Napier after a tough loss, blasting fans who don't know how to lose gracefully, and reflecting on how NIL money and high school training have changed the game. From there, JB pivots to international issues, taking aim at Britain's decades-long cover-up of Pakistani grooming gangs and the cowardice of white men who looked away. He ties this into a broader discussion of propaganda, free speech, and how Elon Musk's X is exposing truths the BBC and elites try to bury. The episode crescendos with JB's “Back at Ya” battle plan theory, framing Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Michael Saylor as disruptors in government, business, and finance. With Trump renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, JB argues America is in a new phase of fifth-generation warfare, with Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and Michael Saylor as the Delta Force of economic disruption. Equal parts rant, revelation, and rallying cry, this episode captures JB's trademark Southern fire.
