In this conversation, James Van Straten and Pascal Huegli explore the evolving landscape of Bitcoin, focusing on its adoption by corporations, the implications for companies labeled as 'zombie' entities, and the unique case of El Salvador as a pioneer in Bitcoin integration. They discuss the cyclical nature of Bitcoin's market, the strategies companies are employing to incorporate Bitcoin into their treasury, and the potential future of Bitcoin as a distinct asset class. The conversation also touches on the role of miners and the complexities of their business models in relation to Bitcoin's price movements. Last but not least, they talk about the implications of MicroStrategy's leverage on Bitcoin, and the potential impact of FASB rules on Bitcoin treasury companies.
