Why I Was WRONG About Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Strategy

Show Notes

Prevalon Energy co-founder and CFO Ben Hunnewell joins Natalie Brunell on Coin Stories to share his evolution on corporate Bitcoin allocation. Hunnewell admits he was initially a skeptic of the "Bitcoin on the balance sheet" playbook due to asset volatility conflicting with traditional cash flow priorities.
