The Immigrant Story That Explains Bitcoin

December 24, 2025

Show Notes

Strategy CEO Phong Le shares his deeply personal journey from being born in post-war Vietnam to leading the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury company. He explains how currency confiscation, inflation, and forced migration shaped his worldview, and why Bitcoin represents freedom, hope, and the ability to preserve the fruits of hard work across generations. This is not just a Bitcoin story — it’s an immigrant story, a savings story, and a human story.
