Bitcoin, MSTR & AI Under Pressure: What This Market Sell-Off Really Reveals | Inside the Walls Ep. 8
In Episode 8 of Inside the Walls, we're joined by Alexandre Laizet and Valentin Kosanovic from Capital B to cut through the noise and make sense of what's happening across Bitcoin, Bitcoin Treasury Companies, and Digital Credit. Is this just another market correction, or are we witnessing a fundamental shift? We take a closer look at what's driving the sell-off, why Bitcoin appears more resilient than in previous cycles, and what history tells us about Bitcoin's performance following US midterm elections. We also dive into the security of institutional Bitcoin custody following the Binance hack, and examine how companies like Strategy (MSTR) and Strive (ASST) are navigating the evolving digital credit market. And with STRC, SATA, and SATS offering double-digit dividends, we explore one of the biggest questions facing investors: How sustainable are these yields, and what does it take to support them over the long term? 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🔸 What's really driving the Bitcoin and stock market sell-off? 🔸 How do US midterm elections historically affect Bitcoin's price? 🔸 Is Bitcoin becoming structurally less volatile as institutional adoption grows? 🔸 What does the Binance hack reveal about Bitcoin custody and security? 🔸 Why is Strategy buying back STRC instead of simply raising its dividend? 🔸 Can Strategy and Strive sustain double-digit digital credit dividends? 🔸 What do Monte Carlo simulations reveal about STRC, SATA, and SATS credit risk? 🔸 Which indicators matter most for Bitcoin Treasury Companies going forward? Join us as we connect Bitcoin, institutional capital, digital credit, and financial engineering to understand where this rapidly evolving industry could be heading.
