In this episode, Chase Palmieri interviews Richard Byworth, a thought leader in Bitcoin treasury companies. They discuss the impact of Bitcoin ETFs on ownership structures, the launch of the Bitcoin Alpha Fund, and the current sentiment in Bitcoin treasury companies.

Byworth shares insights on market valuations, the importance of investor bases, and exit strategies for private companies holding Bitcoin treasuries.
