Why Wall Street May WANT MSTR to Issue More Shares | Inside the Walls Ep. 7
The Bitcoin Treasury race hasn't even started yet. And when Bitcoin starts moving, everything could change.Strategy (MSTR) is bringing STRC back toward par.

ASST's New 15% SATS Preferred: Higher Yield, Higher Risk?
Is Wall Street mispricing Bitcoin-backed credit? And could the next wave of institutional adoption fundamentally change how investors own Bitcoin?Digital Credit is expanding rapidly. Strive (ASST) is introducing SATS, a new perpetual preferred stock offering a 15% dividend. Smarter Web (SWC) has launched MORE in the UK. And Strategy (MSTR) continues to reshape the market with STRC.In Episode 6 of Inside the Walls, we explore the accelerating evolution of Bitcoin Treasury companies, the institutional opportunity in Digital Credit, the macroeconomic forces shaping Bitcoin's next move, and why the future of Bitcoin custody might look very different from what many Bitcoiners imagined.In this episode:🔸 The Digital Credit Revolution: Strive's new SATS preferred stock, offering a 15% dividend, and what its introduction means for SATA, Strategy's STRC, and the broader Bitcoin credit market.🔸 Smarter Web's MORE Launch: Why TOBAM participated in the £10 million offering, how institutional investors evaluate its risk-adjusted returns, and why European Digital Credit could become a major opportunity.🔸 Is STRC Fundamentally Mispriced? André Dragosch examines Strategy's credit rating, dividend yield, and the potential disconnect between Bitcoin-backed securities and traditional high-yield markets.🔸 The Next Institutional Asset Class: Could Bitcoin-backed perpetual preferred stocks eventually become part of diversified credit ETFs, institutional portfolios, and traditional income strategies?🔸 Inflation, the Fed & Bitcoin: With US inflation accelerating and financial conditions tightening, could Bitcoin and Bitcoin Treasury companies benefit from a rotation away from expensive equities, AI stocks, and gold?🔸 The Future of Bitcoin Custody: Following a reported Ledger supply-chain compromise, we challenge one of Bitcoin's most deeply held principles: Not your keys, not your coins. Is institutional custody inevitable as Bitcoin adoption scales?Bitcoin is no longer simply entering traditional finance through ETFs. It is beginning to reshape the instruments, capital structures, and institutions operating within it.Follow the crew on X:- Alexandre Laizet: https://x.com/AlexandreLaizet- André Dragosch: https://x.com/Andre_Dragosch- Yves Choueifaty: https://x.com/YChoueifaty- Valentin Kosanovic: https://x.com/Kosanovic_VFollow Capital B on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCEXICiXdOXjh0jigU64inPg 00:00 Bitcoin Market Update: Inflation, MSTR, Strive & Smarter Web03:05 The Digital Credit Revolution: STRC, SATA, SATS & MORE07:25 Smarter Web's MORE: Was the £10M Launch a Success?12:37 Can Bitcoin-Backed Credit Become an Institutional ETF?15:52 Retail vs. Institutional Demand: Who Will Drive Digital Credit?23:24 Can Credit Ratings Unlock Institutional Bitcoin Adoption?27:38 Is STRC Mispriced?

MSTR Started a Revolution. This CEO Wants to Orange-Pill an Entire Industry.
What if a Bitcoin Treasury company could disrupt an entire industry?XCE (Connecting Excellence Group) nearly doubled its revenue with one acquisition, added Bitcoin to its balance sheet, and increased Bitcoin per share. CEO Scott Ellam says this is only the beginning.In this One Chair Podcast episode, we sit down with XCE founder and CEO Scott Ellam to explore an ambitious new business model in the Bitcoin Treasury space.Unlike Bitcoin Treasury companies focused on capital markets, XCE is combining two powerful growth engines: acquiring profitable, cash-generating recruitment businesses and accumulating Bitcoin on its balance sheet.With its first acquisition, XCE has already demonstrated what this model can achieve:🔥 97.4% increase in pro forma annual revenue, reaching approximately £3.63 million🔥 8.216 BTC added through the acquisition of James Gray Recruitment & Engineering🔥 Approximately £150,000 net cash cost to complete the acquisition🔥 Over 81 BTC on the balance sheet🔥 11.26% Bitcoin Yield for the quarterBut the ambitions go much further.Scott outlines XCE's roadmap toward 100, 200, 500, and eventually 1,000 BTC, alongside revenue milestones of £10 million, £25 million, £50 million, and £100 million.And perhaps most importantly, we discuss how XCE's decentralized acquisition model could accelerate corporate Bitcoin adoption far beyond the recruitment industry.In this episode, we explore:→ How XCE's double flywheel combines Bitcoin accumulation with profitable business acquisitions→ Why XCE's first acquisition nearly doubled revenue while increasing Bitcoin per share→ How decentralized M&A could transform the executive recruitment industry→ XCE's roadmap toward 1,000 BTC and £100 million in annual revenue→ Whether XCE could eventually issue its own Digital Credit instrument→ What STRC, SATA, and MORE mean for the future of Bitcoin-backed financial products→ How a Bitcoin bull market could accelerate XCE's growth strategy→ Why executive recruitment could become an unexpected catalyst for global corporate Bitcoin adoptionFollow our Guest:- Scott Ellam: https://x.com/btconlyscott- XCE - Connecting Excellence: https://x.com/XCEofficial- XCE - Connecting Excellence: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xce-connecting-excellence/- XCE - Connecting Excellence: https://xce.io/- Scott's presentation at Bitcoin Treasuries Conference: https://www.youtube.com/live/DxNiM5st20o?si=I10RB6MhZoJlCSX-&t=916200:00 Introduction: Scott Ellam, CEO of XCE01:30 XCE's Double Flywheel: Bitcoin Treasury Meets Business Acquisitions05:42 XCE's First Acquisition: Doubling Revenue and Growing Bitcoin per Share10:36 Why the Recruitment Industry Is Perfect for Bitcoin Adoption11:52 Bitcoin Treasury M&A: Why Industry Expertise Matters15:31 XCE's Roadmap: 100 to 1,000 BTC and £100M in Revenue17:58 The Next Milestone: Scaling XCE and Reaching More Recruiters21:32 Could XCE Become a Bitcoin-Backed Financial Powerhouse?24:23 Digital Credit: Could STRC, SATA and MORE Fit XCE's Strategy?27:12 Will XCE Issue Its Own Digital Credit Instrument?30:32 How Smarter Web Is Paving the Way for UK Bitcoin Treasuries32:18 Is Bitcoin Adoption Accelerating in the Recruitment Industry?37:01 What Happens to XCE in the Next Bitcoin Bull Market?39:45 XCE's Acquisition Strategy and Bitcoin Recruitment Opportunities41:27 Where to Find Scott Ellam and XCEBig thanks to Little Bubble for allowing us to use his song: "One Chair": https://open.spotify.com/track/0XW7JgR2Nlg7WXGOeVT64h?si=a344b82984f74f81DISCLAIMER: This is not is financial advice.

What Really Drives STRC? A Deep Dive Into MSTR's Digital Credit
Did Strategy waste over $1+ billion trying to support STRC? And is Michael Saylor overengineering Digital Credit?Adrian Morris, founding member of True North and Bitcoin Treasury analyst, returns to the One Chair Podcast with a data-driven analysis that challenges some of the biggest narratives surrounding Strategy (MSTR), STRC, Strive (ASST), SATA, and the emerging Digital Credit market.His research delivers a surprising finding: after controlling for Bitcoin, MSTR, other preferred equities, and trading activity, STRC buybacks showed no statistically distinguishable impact on price.Adrian challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding Bitcoin Treasury companies, arguing that corporate financial engineering cannot override market forces.And despite his criticism of Strategy's recent decisions, his long-term outlook for MSTR is remarkably bullish.He explains why Strategy's common equity ATM could become its most powerful capital-raising engine, why Bitcoin Yield and amplification ratios may be misleading indicators of investment performance, and how Strategy could eventually combine Bitcoin accumulation with AI and business intelligence to create an entirely different company.In this episode, we discuss:→ STRC vs. SATA: Why are the two preferred equities trading differently, and what really drives their prices?→ STRC Buybacks: What True North's research reveals about Strategy's billion-dollar buyback program and why its impact may be overstated.→ Daily Dividends: Why Adrian believes Strategy's move to daily dividends adds complexity without necessarily improving price stability.→ USD Reserves: Does holding billions in cash actually protect Digital Credit investors, or are there diminishing returns?→ Investor Protections: Could STRF-style protections improve STRC's ability to trade at par?→ Market Intervention: Why Strategy may be sending the wrong signal by intervening in its own preferred equity market.→ Bitcoin Treasury KPIs: Why Bitcoin Yield, Bitcoin per Share, and Amplification Ratio don't necessarily translate into superior investment returns.→ The Future of MSTR: How common equity issuance, Digital Credit, Bitcoin, AI, and business intelligence could reshape Strategy over the next decade.Follow our guest:- Adrian Morris on X: https://x.com/_Adrian- True North on X: https://x.com/TNorth- True North on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BTCTrueNorthCheck out Adrian's research on True North: https://tnorth.com/research/strc-buybacks-market-structure/00:00 Intro: Adrian Morris Returns to One Chair Podcast01:21 STRC vs. SATA: Why Is Strive Losing Its Edge?04:01 Do Daily Dividends Actually Help STRC Trade at Par?07:11 True North Research: What Really Drives STRC's Price?14:55 Are Strategy's Buybacks Delivering Diminishing Returns?18:26 Does Strategy's USD Reserve Actually Support STRC?22:23 STRC vs. SATA: How Much Cash Reserve Is Enough?28:48 Would Stronger Investor Protections Fix STRC?34:18 Daily vs. Semi-Monthly Dividends: Is Strategy Overengineering STRC?38:54 Is Strategy Listening Too Much to Bitcoin Twitter/X?43:35 Should Strategy Copy Strive's Podcast and Media Strategy?48:20 Why Strategy Needs More Data-Driven Investor Communication50:26 Did Strategy Ignore the Warning Signs in STRC Buybacks?53:56 Why MSTR's Common Stock ATM Could Dominate the Next Decade01:00:51 Could Strategy Become a Bitcoin and AI Powerhouse?01:01:55 Where to Find Adrian Morris and True North ResearchBig thanks to Little Bubble for allowing us to use his song: "One Chair": https://open.spotify.com/track/0XW7JgR2Nlg7WXGOeVT64h?si=a344b82984f74f81DISCLAIMER: This is not is financial advice.

The Next MSTR Might Come From Europe
Can Bitcoin Treasury companies outperform Bitcoin itself? And could Europe produce the next big winner in the Bitcoin Treasury race?In Episode 5 of Inside the Walls, Yves-André Graf and Alexandre Laizet from Capital B to explore the rapidly evolving Bitcoin Treasury industry, the rise of Digital Credit, and why amplification could become the defining factor separating winners from losers.With Strive pushing toward 60–70% amplification, Strategy defending STRC through buybacks, and Smarter Web preparing to launch MORE, competition among Bitcoin Treasury companies is intensifying.But the biggest opportunity might be hiding in Europe.In this episode, we explore:🔹 Bitcoin Treasury Amplification: Why amplification matters, how much is too much, and whether companies can maintain high amplification ratios through Bitcoin bull and bear markets.🔹 Strategy's STRC Buybacks: Is Strategy supporting its Digital Credit ecosystem or interfering with market price discovery? Should STRC be allowed to find its own equilibrium?🔹 The Fastest Horse: Can Strive (ASST), Strategy (MSTR), Smarter Web (SWC), or Capital B deliver the strongest long-term shareholder returns?🔹 Europe's Hidden Advantage: Why European capital markets could offer extraordinary opportunities for Bitcoin Treasury companies, particularly through Digital Credit and institutional demand.🔹 The Rise of Digital Credit: How perpetual preferred equity instruments such as STRC, SATA, and MORE could transform Bitcoin accumulation and corporate financing.🔹 Capital B's Ambitions: Alexandre explains why Capital B believes it can become a leading European Bitcoin Treasury company and how access to European and US capital markets could support its growth.🔹 Bitcoin 2027 Outlook: What happens when Bitcoin appreciates, amplification capacity expands, and institutional investors begin allocating significantly more capital to Digital Credit?The central questions are:- What happens when Bitcoin appreciation, equity issuance, and Digital Credit create multiple reinforcing capital-raising engines?- Could the next Bitcoin bull market trigger an unprecedented acceleration in corporate Bitcoin accumulation?- And which Bitcoin Treasury company will emerge as the fastest horse?Follow the crew on X:- Alexandre Laizet: https://x.com/AlexandreLaizet- André Dragosch: https://x.com/Andre_Dragosch- Yves Choueifaty: https://x.com/YChoueifaty- Valentin Kosanovic: https://x.com/Kosanovic_VFollow Capital B on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCEXICiXdOXjh0jigU64inPg 00:00 Intro: Bitcoin Treasury News, Strategy & Strive03:35 Bitcoin Treasury Amplification: Who Has the Biggest Advantage?10:30 How Much Amplification Is Too Much?21:07 STRC Buybacks: Is Strategy Fighting the Market?28:18 The Fastest Horse: Strive vs Strategy vs Smarter Web vs Capital B41:20 Why European Bitcoin Treasuries Could Outperform the US48:48 Can Bitcoin Treasury Companies Expand Across Borders?55:01 Bitcoin Treasury Outlook: What Comes Next in 2027?01:00:09 Outro: Reflexive Growth and the Road AheadFollow us on:- X: https://x.com/OneChairPod- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OneChairPodDISCLAIMER: This is not is financial advice.

Smarter Web’s CEO Thinks Bitcoin Is Still Cheap at $250K
The Smarter Web Company (SWC) is about to launch MORE, a new perpetual preferred equity that could fundamentally change how the UK Bitcoin Treasury company raises capital and accumulates Bitcoin.In this episode of the One Chair Podcast, Andrew Webley, Founder & CEO of The Smarter Web Company, joins us to explain exactly how MORE works, why it will pay weekly dividends, and how it could become a powerful new capital-raising engine alongside SWC.MORE launches with a 12% variable dividend rate, a £100 par value, a two-year minimum dividend cash buffer, and an initial maximum amplification ratio of 35%. But Andrew says that 35% is only the starting point, and that mathematically, the ratio could go significantly higher.We go deep into the mechanics behind the strategy.Why is Smarter Web replacing its Coinbase Bitcoin-backed debt with permanent capital? How will MORE be managed around par? Could the dividend rise as high as 20%? Who is the target investor: retail or institutional? And how much Bitcoin could Smarter Web ultimately accumulate if the MORE flywheel starts working?Andrew also explains why Bitcoin itself has become the hurdle rate for every acquisition Smarter Web considers, and why finding an operating business capable of outperforming Bitcoin is becoming increasingly difficult.We discuss:→ How Andrew Webley discovered Bitcoin and why Michael Saylor changed his thinking→ Why The Smarter Web Company became a Bitcoin Treasury company→ Why Smarter Web wants to eliminate its Coinbase-backed debt→ How MORE perpetual preferred equity works→ Why MORE pays weekly dividends→ The 12% initial variable dividend rate and potential 20% ceiling→ Why Smarter Web is targeting £100 par→ The two-year dividend cash reserve→ MORE’s 35% amplification ratio, and why it could eventually go higher→ Retail vs institutional demand for MORE→ How preferred equity can drive Bitcoin-per-share growth→ Why Andrew believes Bitcoin is still incredibly cheap→ Why Bitcoin has become Smarter Web’s acquisition hurdle rate→ Smarter Web’s strategy for acquiring profitable businesses→ Potential acquisitions outside the UK→ Whether The Smarter Web Company could eventually change its name→ What comes next for SWC and MOREIf MORE works as intended, Smarter Web will have two very different capital-raising engines: SWC as the growth equity and MORE as the income-focused preferred equity.Follow our Guest:- Andrew Webley: https://x.com/asjwebley- The Smarter Web Company on X: https://x.com/smarterwebuk- The Smarter Web Company: https://www.smarterwebcompany.co.uk/00:00 Andrew Webley: Building the UK’s Bitcoin Treasury Company04:47 Why Smarter Web Used Bitcoin-Backed Coinbase Debt11:22 Why Smarter Web Is Replacing Debt With MORE15:27 MORE: The UK’s First Bitcoin Treasury Preferred Stock19:35 How MORE Targets £100 Par Value25:47 Who Will Buy MORE?
