Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Analysis and insights on how public companies are integrating Bitcoin into their balance sheets, from convertible bond financing to BTC yield metrics.
92 episodes · 21 research pieces
Bitcoin treasury strategy has emerged as one of the most significant trends in corporate finance. Pioneered by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the approach involves public companies holding Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset.
True North covers every dimension of this movement, from the mechanics of convertible bond financing to the metrics that matter (mNAV, BTC yield, market cap premium) to the expanding universe of companies adopting the strategy worldwide.

The Bitcoin Bears Are Wrong
Tad Smith is very bullish on Bitcoin, and the fact that so many people aren't makes him even more bullish. Tad joins host Joe Burnett to discuss the Fed's surprise rate hike, Treasury Secretary Bessent's path toward yield curve control, and how AI is reshaping jobs and markets. They also cover Tad's barbell portfolio, the lessons of STRC's summer selloff, Bitcoin treasury companies, and why he believes all roads lead to Bitcoin.
Trust Is Civilization's Oldest Technology
Jeff Walton reads civilization as a stack of trust-extension technologies — from the oath and coined money to the joint-stock company and the central bank — and argues Bitcoin and digital credit are the next layers going in as the current architecture cracks at the base.
Strategy ($MSTR), Bitcoin, Digital Credit, & More
The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Archie from the Bitcoin Archive to discuss the tension between traditional HODLing culture and the rising financialization of Bitcoin. They break down portfolio strategies for onboarding new users, the macroeconomic role of corporate treasuries, and the metrics signaling the bottom of the current bear market. They also analyze a five-year outlook for global capital, evaluating both the bull and bear cases for Bitcoin and digital credit instruments.
