He explains how instruments like perpetual preferred equity (Strive’s SATA and Strategy’s STRC) allow massive pools of TradFi capital—like insurance companies—to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s appreciation without suffering 80% volatility. This engine converts cheap fiat debt into hard Bitcoin. We discuss the concept of Bitcoin as the new global hurdle rate and why risk is currently mispriced globally
