Show Notes

Bitcoin is no longer just an asset. It’s becoming the benchmark everything else is measured against. In this episode of The Hurdle Rate, the panel breaks down Strategy’s $1.25B Bitcoin buy, the rise of digital credit, Fed credibility issues, and why time horizons matter more than price volatility. This is about Bitcoin as capital, Bitcoin as credit, and Bitcoin as the true risk-free rate.
