The company listed only in April 2025 at a USD 11mn market cap and introduced the BTC acquisition strategy in May. Now the Nordic region's largest holder of Bitcoin, H100 is at a ~USD 250mn market cap owing to Sander's impressive capital raising prowess, passion for Bitcoin and strategic experience working within the family office world. We go into the nuts of bolts of H100's winning strategy, its unique team, even the future of health linking to bitcoin and into the mind of the man behind it all.

In the inaugural episode of our new BTCTCs subseries at Syz the Future, Simon Gerovich (https://x.com/gerovich) of Metaplanet (3350:JP / $MTPLF) joins Richard (https://x.com/RichardByworth) in the studio for part 2 of our ongoing conversation on Metaplanet and other Bitcoin treasury companies (BTCTCs). The discussion goes in depth on the ins and outs of a functioning BTCTC, from the different mechanisms needed to continually issue shares into the markets in order to accumulate more bitcoin (e.g. ATM) as well as the very unique solution Metaplanet harnessed to achieve the same. We also chat about put underwriting, Metaplanet's entry into the US, growing institutional interest and the Japanese bond and pref market. As a former derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs, Simon put his trading prowess to task taking Metaplanet to a $7bn market cap from $2bn two months ago when we recorded our first session. The BTCTC journey of Metaplanet began at $10mn market cap 14 months ago. We believe that BTCTCs are acting as the release valve for the outlandish valuations in the Equity and Bond markets. As such, we felt this moment in time required a deeper dive into their analysis. Welcome to the BTCTC sub-series.

Dr. Chris Knobbe is an ophthalmologist, clinical professor emeritus, researcher and leading voice in health policy unveiling the hidden dangers of seed oils (aka vegetable oils) in our food supply. Driven by the data showing stark correlations between rising chronic disease (coronary heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, alzheimers/dementia, age-related macular degeneration) and the integration of seed oils into our modern diet, Chris left practice to further research and policy advocacy exploring this troubling and commonly unknown link through AMD Foundation (http://amdfoundation.com) and the book Ancestral Diet Revolution (https://www.amazon.com/Ancestral-Diet-Revolution-Vegetable-Processed/dp/1734071761). After his viral talks at Low Carb Down Under in 2020 (https://youtu.be/7kGnfXXIKZM) and 2023 (https://www.youtu.be/PvZk-jNqzgE), Chris galvanized the discussion scrutinizing the role of "vegetable oils" that are ubiquitous in our modern diet. We caught up with Chris in London for this special episode focused on health, history, and questioning the most basic aspects of our lives today -- our food.
