About this episode

Natalie Brunell discusses the factors driving Bitcoin's structural bid during a bear market, including institutional adoption and sovereign accumulation.

Natalie Brunell joins Brandon Green to discuss why institutional adoption, Bitcoin treasury companies, and sovereign accumulation are creating the strongest structural bid Bitcoin has ever seen, all in a bear market. They cover everything from Iran accepting Bitcoin for Strait of Hormuz tolls to Strategy's historic STRC issuance and Morgan Stanley's record-breaking Bitcoin ETF launch.
