"Bitcoin Is the Hurdle Rate": How Strive Stacked 14,000 BTC w/ Matt Cole | Bitcoin Backstage
About this episode
Matt Cole discusses Strive's corporate strategy and the implications of Bitcoin as a hurdle rate in the financial landscape.
"If you don't think you can beat Bitcoin, you should just buy Bitcoin." That's the philosophy powering Strive's rise to a top-10 corporate Bitcoin holder. CEO Matt Cole joins us backstage to unpack Bitcoin as the hurdle rate, the economics of digital credit, and why Bitcoin treasury companies are entering a period of consolidation with only a few dozen winners. He also shares the most wrong he's ever been about Bitcoin and it's not what you'd expect.
