Loren brings a traditional finance lens sharpened by years on the institutional side, and walks through the journey that took him from allocating inside legacy portfolios to helping build the infrastructure that lets institutions actually access Bitcoin exposure at scale. Joe and Loren break down why the 60/40 portfolio is fundamentally broken in a fiscally dominant world, how institutional allocators really think about fixed income, and the structural reasons most institutions still can't just buy Bitcoin outright, no matter how much conviction the CIO has. From there, the conversation moves into the future of income investing and the emergence of digital credit as its own asset class, covering the difference between senior and junior digital credit, how large the market could realistically become, and how it should actually be valued. They also get into the STRC drawdown and what it revealed about digital credit volatility, why the "just hold Bitcoin and cash" argument misses the point for large pools of capital, the role of the government backstop through the next recession, and why Bitcoin's infinite duration makes it the ultimate long-duration asset on a corporate balance sheet. It's a conversation about where trillions of dollars of fixed income allocation may ultimately end up, and the plumbing being built right now to move it there.Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/why-bitcoin-needs-to-hit-370k-by-2032/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/why-bitcoin-needs-to-hit-370k-by-2032/The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Sam Callahan to discuss how to think about markets and portfolio construction in today's environment. They break down Sam's unpopular Bitcoin opinions, the line between conviction and stubbornness, and why time horizon and volatility shake most investors out too early. They also examine fiscal dominance, Bitcoin's role as a global liquidity trade, treasury companies and digital credit, and Fidelity's math showing Bitcoin needs to hit $370K by 2032, evaluating the shape of Bitcoin's returns into 2030 and why adoption still isn't at 100%.Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/a-quant-breaks-down-why-strc-broke-100/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/a-quant-breaks-down-why-strc-broke-100/The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Allard Peng to discuss how Bitcoin is reshaping traditional investing and giving rise to a new asset class in digital credit. They break down retail versus institutional flows, growth versus income investing, and why volatility shouldn't be conflated with risk.

They also discuss whether Bitcoin’s four year cycle is still intact, Strategy’s Bitcoin sales, Michael Saylor’s influence on adoption, the path for digital credit to return to par, and how Bitcoin backed credit and tokenized assets could reshape global finance.Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/fix-the-money/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/fix-the-money/The Income Show is back for Episode 9, with host Joe Burnett, joined by Jon Willbanks to talk about building a portfolio around Bitcoin, Tesla, and digital credit, the common misconceptions holding people back from Bitcoin, and why he sees the coming singularity and wealth rotation between asset classes reshaping how capital moves, with Bitcoin at the center of it.Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/is-the-bitcoin-4-year-cycle-dead/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/is-the-bitcoin-4-year-cycle-dead/The Income Show is back for Episode 8, with host @IIICapital joined by Jesse Myers to talk about the recent shakeout in digital credit, where Bitcoin sentiment and the four-year cycle stand today, and why he sees Bitcoin accelerating toward becoming the world's dominant form of long-term capital.Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/is-digital-credit-broken/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/is-digital-credit-broken/Joe Burnett sits down with Tyler Evans — Chief Investment Officer of Nakamoto — for episode 7 of The Income Show. With STRC and SATA whipsawing, they ask whether digital credit is 'broken' or simply repricing: tracing Bitcoin's market cycles and shifting volatility, framing digital credit as a long-carry trade, and unpacking what recent STRC volatility, issuer cash reserves, and capital-markets positioning really signal. They contrast digital credit with private credit on transparency and liquidity, take on the loudest criticisms from the Bitcoin community, and close on the Bitcoin growth required to cover dividends and the macro backdrop underpinning the core thesis.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/public-company-ceo-went-all-in-on-bitcoin-digital-credit/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/public-company-ceo-went-all-in-on-bitcoin-digital-credit/Joe Burnett sits down with Evan Horowitz — Chief Executive Officer of Farmhouse Inc. ($FMHS) — for episode 6 of The Income Show. Evan tells the story of taking a public company from cannabis to Bitcoin, and makes the case for the 'anti-debasement company': holding Bitcoin alongside tokenized and physical gold on a multi-asset treasury, scaling a digital-asset balance sheet, and using digital credit as a strategic asset to neutralize corporate expenses. They range across Bitcoin adoption versus the early internet, a bearish read on stablecoins, gold-and-Bitcoin synergies, why permissionless money matters, and how to handle market volatility and red days.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/bitcoin-is-down-50-what-is-happening/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/bitcoin-is-down-50-what-is-happening/The Income Show is back for Episode 5, with host @IIICapital joined by Brian Brookshire to talk all things digital finance.

They close on Bitcoin as a world reserve asset, the intersection of AI and Bitcoin, and how a shifting interest-rate regime will redefine every digital credit issuer's priorities.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/stephen-cole-building-a-high-yield-account-on-bitcoin/https://tnorth.com/shows/the-income-show/stephen-cole-building-a-high-yield-account-on-bitcoin/Joe Burnett sits down with Stephen Cole — Co-Founder and CEO of Castle — for episode 3 of The Income Show.
