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.
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.

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.
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.

Semi-monthly STRC Divs Will Increase Monthly STRC ATM to $10B
Dan Hillery argues that shifting STRC's dividend cadence from monthly to semi-monthly will compress the time to recover to $100 par, give arbitrage traders two shots at overnight dividend capture per month, and drive STRC ATM volume toward $10B per month.
