Is STRC rewriting the Bitcoin cycle?

In this episode, we sit down with Soleil to break down the explosive rise of STRC and how Strategy (MSTR) is using it to buy massive amounts of Bitcoin at unprecedented speed.

We discuss:

- How STRC enabled Strategy to buy tens of thousands of Bitcoin in days

- Why STRC might be changing the traditional Bitcoin market cycle

- The hidden mechanics behind STRC’s price stability and yield

- Whether institutions are late to the trade

- The potential upside for MSTR

- Risks, game theory, and what could break this model

We also go deeper into:

- Bitcoin treasury companies and which ones actually matter

- Why some miners (like Marathon Digital Holdings) are struggling

- Options strategies and how to generate yield in this market

- Tesla, AI, and the future of autonomous systems with Tesla

- The Lightning Network, yield opportunities, and hidden risks

- Bitcoin self-custody and why it still matters

- The ongoing Bitcoin “spam war” and what it means for the network
