CryptoMondays Meetups

Is the world’s biggest Bitcoin treasury experiment a masterstroke or a house of cards? One year ago today, Strategy hit an all-time high of $457. Today, it’s trading at $93—down 80% while "Strategy FUD" reaches a fever pitch. With 843,775 BTC (over 4% of the total supply) on the balance sheet, the stakes couldn't be higher. But as the playbooks evolve into high-yield debt and selling Bitcoin just to cover interest, the "simple" strategy has become incredibly complicated. Is Strategy still the right strategy? Join us tomorrow, July 16th, as we cut through the noise with three industry titans: Geoff Kendrick: Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered. Michael Treidl, CFA, CFA®: Founder & CIO of Blue Coin Capital. Lou Kerner: Host and Crypto visionary. We’re deconstructing the outlook for levered Bitcoin returns and whether this model is still the gold standard for institutional digital asset exposure. 📅 Date: Thursday, July 16 🕙 Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT 📍 Location: Zoom Don't just watch the charts. Understand the play. Register here to join the conversation https://lnkd.in/eMAdWrFp #Bitcoin #CorporateTreasury #Strategy #DigitalAssets #Webinar #CryptoFUD

"I felt like an athlete finding out I got traded - through Twitter." That's how our guest at this week's Crypto Mondays fireside chat described learning about a critical custody issue at his former company, Prime Trust, before leadership had even told the staff internally. It's one of the most candid moments we've had on a Crypto Mondays call in a while and it set the tone for a wide-ranging, no-BS conversation about where Bitcoin actually stands right now. Our guest's journey: over a decade in enterprise software sales, into Bitcoin in 2017 after a trip to Lisbon, first buy at $2,400, one regretted sale in 2019 (to cover a tax bill), and nothing sold since. After Prime Trust, he moved into consulting, then podcasting (200+ guests on his show), and eventually built a comparison platform for Bitcoin financial products built specifically to fix the transparency problem he'd lived through firsthand. But the real value of the conversation was in the market discussion. We covered: → The full institutional timeline of Bitcoin — from Grayscale's 2013 trust to 2024's spot ETF approval → Why Strategy's STRC preferred stock is currently trading below its $100 peg, and what that says about treasury-company risk broadly → A refreshingly honest admission of being personally underwater ~70% on MSTR bought near $300 — and why he's still holding → Whether a U.S. Bitcoin ban is realistic, and how chain-analysis tools already treat "tainted" coins differently from others → Where Bitcoin treasury companies go from here as consolidation looks increasingly likely This is exactly the kind of grounded, personal-journey-meets-market-insight discussion Crypto Mondays exists for. No shilling, just education. 🎥 Watch the full fireside chat here: https://lnkd.in/ddG__XdA Want to be part of these conversations live?

Can gold become a productive asset? That was one of the most thought-provoking discussions from our latest Crypto Mondays interview with Henry Mcphie, CEO of Streamex. For centuries, gold has been viewed primarily as a store of value. But what if it could also generate yield? Henry explained how tokenization and gold leasing can transform gold into a yield-bearing, liquid, and programmable asset while still maintaining exposure to the underlying commodity. Some of the key themes we explored: 🪙 Why commodities may become one of the most compelling Real-World Asset (RWA) categories 🔗 Why tokenization only succeeds when it creates genuine utility. ⚡ How blockchain infrastructure like Base and Solana is enabling new forms of ownership and liquidity 🏛️ Why institutional interest in tokenized assets is accelerating and what it means for the future of finance The bigger takeaway was clear: the next phase of tokenization isn't about hype. It's about making existing assets more functional, more liquid, and more accessible. If tokenized commodities and the future of RWAs are on your radar, this conversation is worth watching. 🎥 Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dyXbcXgV
