Strategy Bought 1,036 Bitcoin While Holders Got Debased $200M
Show notes
Darkside reads Strategy's new 8-K and argues the $200 million in share issuance behind the latest Bitcoin buy debased MSTR holders instead of amplifying them. Terence Michael hosts with Loren on the road, and the room works through the Binance hack that exposed 900,000 users, Coinkite's refusal to own the Coldcard breach, and BlackRock turning self-custody fears into an IBIT pitch. The back half goes deep on covenants, the upgrade that would make a stolen key useless, plus Project Janus nuclear reactors, a16z stepping back from crypto, and a year of Bitcoin decorrelation.
Loren and Terence host Bitcoin Today live on X, weekdays at 8:30 AM PT.
