Navigating the New Financial Frontier
Latest from True North
EP 71 The Long Game
The crew settles in for the long game — sizing up Bitcoin and MSTR's latest volatility, stress-testing Strategy's balance sheet and dividend coverage, and weighing MSTR's amplified beta against institutional hedging. They set Bitcoin's four-year CAGR and shortening drawdowns against a shifting macro backdrop of IPOs, bond raises, and gold outflows, then turn to the volatility running through digital credit across STRC and SATA, the Basel-era regulation taking shape around it, and the BIP-110 game theory pitting miners against nodes.
The Launch Pad
The crew works through the STRC selloff — what MSTR's cash-reserve reduction means for capital structure, dividend coverage, and debt reduction, and how an issuer can steady STRC's price while the market reprices it as a Bitcoin derivative. They weigh STRC's yield against its volatility and trading volume, then turn to the wave of AI and IPO capital (SpaceX and the tech giants), what AI's marginal-cost dynamics and shifting pricing models mean for Bitcoin's narrative, and the case for Bitcoin as savings technology with digital credit as the bridge to adoption. A live Q&A closes on STRC dividend confidence, treasury-company outperformance, OTC Bitcoin execution, and the latest STRC FUD.
