Episode notes
Bitcoin Strategy Priorities
- Prioritize making the core operating business cash flow positive and stable before expanding Bitcoin strategy.
- Clearly communicate your plan for cash flow, equity issuance, and credit strategy regarding Bitcoin acquisition.
Use Preferred Securities for Leverage
- Bitcoin treasury companies should issue preferred securities instead of senior debt, junk bonds, or convertible debt.
- Copy MicroStrategy's preferred securities structure to attract investors familiar with their predictable performance.
Bitcoin's Superior Long-Term Growth
- Bitcoin's long-term growth rate will likely decelerate from ~55% to 20% annually over 20 years due to the law of large numbers.
- Bitcoin should outperform the S&P 500 because it lacks corporate, currency, and political risks that burden traditional equities.
