TD₿: Why Leveraged Bitcoin Equities Are About to Explode - (a Swan Signal Live segment) with Brady, Steven, John and Alec
TL;DR: A new wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption is emerging—beyond MicroStrategy. We unpack Strive, 21, MetaPlanet, and the rise of leveraged Bitcoin equities amid AI-driven finance and SPACs.
Hey Bitcoiners,
A new wave of corporate adoption is emerging, centered on leveraged Bitcoin equities—companies using both debt and equity markets to rapidly accumulate Bitcoin. Led by firms like 21, Strive Asset Management, and MetaPlanet, these players go beyond traditional treasury allocation, instead engineering financial products designed to maximize Bitcoin exposure. Backed by major institutions like Tether and SoftBank, this model signals a shift toward treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
At the forefront of this trend is AI-driven financial innovation, as highlighted by Michael Saylor, who’s using AI to design complex capital structures in days rather than weeks. With billions in capital still waiting to be deployed, this movement hasn't fully hit markets yet—but when it does, it could trigger a true supply shock. As more institutions recognize the risks of fiat debasement, they’re turning to Bitcoin not for profit, but for protection—reshaping the market's foundations and raising its long-term floor.
