Why could STRC send Bitcoin much higher?

In this episode, Mason Foard breaks down the bull case for STRC, Bitcoin treasury companies, and why firms like Meliuz could be massively misunderstood by the market.

We discuss Mason’s Bitcoin journey, how he went from investing as a kid to becoming Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Meliuz, and why he believes Bitcoin-backed financial products could accelerate the next phase of adoption. We also dive into Strategy World, the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, the future of digital credit, and why Brazil may become one of the most important markets for Bitcoin adoption.

Mason explains why Bitcoin is like fire, why products like STRC may act as a bridge between the fiat world and Bitcoin, and how Meliuz, the first Bitcoin treasury company in Brazil and Latin America, is approaching Bitcoin accumulation, share buybacks, and yield generation.
