Bitcoin Treasury Companies: The Quiet Superweapon Reshaping Global Capital 🧵

To the untrained eye, Bitcoin treasury companies look like fiat-finance cosplay.
Leverage? Debt? Derivatives?
Sounds like Wall Street LARPing with Bitcoin branding.

Then Preston Pysh explained what they really are. Everything changed.Image
He didn’t just explain how they work.
He explained what they are.
Not scams. Not distractions. Not detours.
Bitcoin treasury companies are super spreaders - engineered to infect legacy capital markets with Bitcoin.
These aren’t get-rich-quick shells.
They’re transmission systems.
Multi-gear machines designed to accumulate BTC across every macro cycle:
• Loose credit? Issue debt.
• Tight credit? Raise equity.
• Always stack. Always adapt.
Saylor’s strategy isn’t improvisation - it’s mechanical design.
Need yield?
Boomers want income?
Institutions demand fixed returns?
Perfect.

The product isn’t Bitcoin.
The product is yield, security, and compliance - wrapped around Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the engine. Fiat is just the interface.
Consider a BTC-backed preferred instrument like STRC:
• 10% yield to investors
• Fiat gets converted to BTC
• Bitcoin compounds at 40–45% annually
• The company pockets the spread
• Shareholders win

This is fixed income, Bitcoinized.
The brilliance?
These companies siphon fiat from boomers, funds, and pensions…
…and quietly convert it to Bitcoin on the balance sheet.
To most, it looks like a bond.
In reality, it’s a stealth Bitcoin acquisition pipeline.
And it’s all public.
That’s the key.
Private markets hide.
Public markets expose.
Auditors, regulators, shareholders, bots - everyone’s watching.
Everyone’s verifying.

Bitcoin treasury companies bring Bitcoin’s transparency to fiat finance.
This isn’t Bitcoin getting financialized.
This is finance getting Bitcoinized.

Just like Hayek foresaw:
Not through revolution,
But through replication - through the cracks in the fiat system.
By 2030?
Bitcoin will be owned via:
• Pensions
• S&P 500 ETFs
• Income funds
• Boomer bond allocations

It’ll seep into cap tables, balance sheets, and dividend checks - unnoticed, inevitable.
There are risks:
• Overleverage
• Custody models
• Regulatory choke points
• Nationalization

That’s why sizing matters.
Think probabilistically.
Bitcoin is the risk-free rate.
Treasury companies are the convex bet.
Here’s the final unlock:
This isn’t just about capital.
It’s about frequency.

Bitcoin settles every 10 minutes.
Legacy finance settles weekly, if at all.
To pass the baton, systems must match pace.
Stablecoins enable that handoff - not evil, but essential.
The “Great Monetary Reset” won’t look like a revolution.
It’ll be:
• A cap table reshuffle
• A yield curve inversion
• A custody model upgrade
• A thousand quiet conversions on a thousand balance sheets

All hiding in plain sight.
Bitcoin isn’t just winning.
It’s colonizing.
Every preferred stock issuance, every BTC balance sheet strategy, every retiree earning yield through the hardest money ever created - wrapped in a fixed-income shell.
This isn’t the early phase.
This is the national anthem.
The game hasn’t even started.
But the playbook?

Already written.
By Strategy.
By Metaplanet.
By Sequans.
By the builders - those who craft transmissions, not just tweets.
Still think Bitcoin treasury companies are fiat cosplay?
Still think it’s just a gimmick?

Then the signal’s being missed.
Because this is hyperbitcoinization.
It’s happening now.
Quietly. Systematically. From inside the gates.

Every few centuries, the world changes its money.

Those who adapt, prosper.
Those who don’t… get left behind.

We’re living through the next shift right now—and most people won’t see it until it’s over. 🧵👇 Image
Image
Early money was local.

Cowrie shells in Africa. Wampum beads in North America. Rai stones on Yap Island.

These worked—until trade expanded and weight, transport, and verification became bottlenecks. Image
Image
Image
Metals solved those problems.

Gold, silver, and copper were durable, divisible, and universal.

They were money not because rulers declared it, but because the market converged on them. Image

Tucker Carlson just interviewed the most dangerous economist in the world.

Dr. Richard Werner exposed the secret fuel behind inflation, war, and inequality.

Another billboard for Bitcoin—whether he said the word or not.

Here are 9 truths they never wanted you to hear: 🧵👇 Image
Truth #1: Banks don’t lend your savings.
They create new money out of thin air—by issuing credit.

“Banks are not financial intermediaries… they create money out of nothing.”

Every mortgage, car loan, and student debt creates brand new dollars.

This is fiat’s engine.
Truth #2: Inflation isn’t an accident. It’s engineered.

“Bank credit for consumption is inflationary… and that’s what we had in 2021–2022.”

The system requires constant credit growth to stay afloat.
That means prices must rise.
Forever.

Strategy(MSTR) just posted:

• $14B operating income
• $10B net income
• $32.60 EPS

And yet… it trades at a P/E of 4.7x.
That’s lower than 495 companies in the S&P 500.

Here’s what Wall Street still doesn’t get about MSTR 🧵👇 Image
Image
This isn’t just a high-performing company.

Strategy is on pace to generate $80 EPS this year.

That’s on just 112M outstanding shares, with most of the value tied directly to BTC.

But the market still doesn’t price it like a Bitcoin proxy—or a tech firm. Image
Strategy now holds 628,791 bitcoin. At current prices, it’s worth over $74B.

How much is that, really?

More than every other public company combined.
More than any single nation-state has ever disclosed.
Roughly 3% of total supply—in one ticker.

And they’re still buying. Image

Something big is happening in finance—again.

25 years after the internet reshaped equities, Bitcoin is quietly doing the same to debt.

Strategy (MSTR) is building a Bitcoin-backed yield curve—from 1-month to 20 years.

Here’s what that means 🧵👇 Image
Historically, Bitcoin had no yield.

You could HODL, speculate, or lend (with risk).

But now, for the first time, institutions can access structured Bitcoin yield—via public, regulated securities.

Strategy has issued 4 instruments to build this stack: Image
🔸 STRK – Mid-volatility, convertible hybrid
🔸 STRF – Senior, income-focused
🔸 STRD – High-yield, longer duration
🔸 STRC – Short-duration, stable BTC-backed savings

Together, they map out a credit curve—backed by overcollateralized Bitcoin. Image

Strategy (MSTR) just delivered the most consequential earnings call in its history.

They’re building a $100B+ Bitcoin credit empire—powered by AI, fueled by leverage, and anchored by the hardest money on Earth.

2 hours of alpha in 2 minutes 🧵👇 Image
Image
Year-to-date, Strategy has raised $18.3B in capital—more than 80% of last year’s total in just 7 months.

It now holds over $74B in Bitcoin, acquired at a cost of $46B.

Every sat is unencumbered. Zero rehypothecation. Just conviction. Image
The quarter was record-breaking:

• $14B GAAP operating income
• $10B net income
• $32.60 EPS—the highest in company history
• BPS (Bitcoin per Share) rose 67,730 in 2024 alone

This is what Bitcoin leverage looks like—done right. Image

The White House just released its 2025 digital assets report.

Buried in the policy language are major signals for Bitcoin—if you know where to look.

This isn’t just another crypto paper. It’s about how the U.S. is preparing for a monetary shift. 🧵👇 Image
Image
Let’s be clear: the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is not being shelved or forgotten about.

The U.S. will “develop strategies that could be used to acquire additional bitcoin for the Reserve.”

This isn’t a pivot. It’s a continuation of a long-range monetary play. Image
How serious is it?

The report explicitly states:

“The bitcoin in the Reserve will generally not be sold and will be maintained as reserve assets of the United States…”

The same way nations treat gold reserves. Image
