Episode notes
Fundamentals Matter More Than Short-Term Price
- Bitcoin progress shows up in institutions, accounting, and bank adoption rather than 90-day price moves.
- Michael Saylor says 2025 fixed insurance, accounting, tax guidance, and bank credit which matters more than short-term price.
MicroStrategy's Insurance And Accounting Struggle
- When MicroStrategy bought Bitcoin in 2020 they were de-insured and debanked, forcing Saylor to personally underwrite insurance.
- In 2025 the company regained insurance and profit recognition after accounting and regulatory changes.
Institutional Acceptance Accelerated In 2025
- 2025 saw major institutional acceptance: banks extending credit, executives at regulators supportive, and derivatives commercialization.
- These changes create paths for Bitcoin institutionalization beyond retail speculation, Saylor argues.
