Breaking Down Michael Saylor’s BTC Strategy and How A DeFi Team Is Rebuilding It For ETH

Clouted, Napenjoyoor, and EconDegen are all Founding Contributors at ETH Strategy. In this episode, we break down Michael Saylor’s legendary BTC strategy, how MicroStrategy has leveraged convertible debt to accumulate Bitcoin, and why it’s been so effective. Then, we explore how The STRAT Protocol is bringing this playbook onchain for ETH, using an autonomous ETH treasury and long-dated convertible debt to create a DeFi-native version of the trade--plus what it means for ETH holders and how to get involved! ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources 🔮 ⁠PYTH NETWORK⁠ | SMARTER DATA FOR SMARTER CONTRACTS https://pyth.network/ ⏳ HOURGLASS | LEVERAGED AIRDROP FARMING AND BOOSTED POINTS https://hourglass.com/ 🪄 TANSSI | LAUNCH YOUR SYMBIOTIC RESTAKED NETWORK IN MINUTES https://www.tanssi.network/ 📊 iYIELD | YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://go.iyield.com/edge 🧪 MANTLE | START YOUR RESTAKING JOURNEY TODAY WITH CMETH https://meth.mantle.xyz/restake 🐡 PUFFER UNIFI | A BASED ROLLUP TO ETHEREUM WITH NATIVE YIELDS https://unifi.puffer.fi/ 🌔 MOONWELL | THE LEADING LENDING AND BORROWING APP ON BASE https://moonwell.fi/ 🐐 ⁠GOAT NETWORK⁠ | A BITCOIN L2 TO EARN WITH BTC & DOGE https://www.goat.network/ ⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED https://gearbox.fi/ 📈 DEFINITIVE | THE MOST ADVANCED PLATFORM FOR ONCHAIN TRADING https://app.definitive.fi/r/DEFIDAD ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 5:15 - Team background 10:14 - What is ETH Strategy? 12:54 - How Saylors MSTR-BTC trade works 18:44 - Who is buying Saylor’s convertible notes? 24:43 - Why does anyone provide Saylor cheap debt? 31:45 - How are MSTR shareholders affected and what if BTC goes down? 38:09 - Is Saylor’s MSTR trade pumping the price of BTC? 41:13 - Sponsor mid-roll 41:51 - Will ETH Strategy improve the MSTR trade with DeFi? 43:42 - How ETH Strategy differs from Microstrategy 50:10 - DeFi native influence on ETH Strategy 53:38 - What’s the worst that could happen for STRAT holders? 57:18 - Sponsor mid-roll 58:57 - Who’s the target user for ETH Strategy? 1:00:54 - STRAT tokenomics and how raised ETH gets used 1:05:29 - Goals for presale 1:08:06 - Would ETH Strategy ever build this for BTC onchain? 1:12:24 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► ETH Strategy website: https://www.ethstrat.xyz/ ► ETH Strategy on X: https://x.com/eth_strategy ► Clouted on X: https://x.com/cloutedmind ► Nap on X: https://x.com/iamnapenjoyoor ► Econ on X: https://x.com/econdegen ------ If you're a DeFi/Web3 builder, contact our team at: https://fourthrevolution.capital/ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions and not necessarily those of Fourth Revolution Capital.

"Higher is a Mindset" with Martin Anquetil, founder of Higher and creator of Aether AI | ZEROPOD SEASON 2 E3

What does it mean to build a brand without a leader, a strategy, or even a plan? In this episode of ZEROPOD, I sit down with Martin Anquetil, one of the founders of $HIGHER, the headless memecoin brand redefining chaos as culture onchain.  We dive into everything from AI agents breaking bounty bots on Farcaster to an Ethereum stock split, the memecoin meta and the challenges of building a project based on a number-go-up meme even when number doesn’t always go up. Along the way, Martin shares lessons from his time within Nouns, explores the unique challenges of decentralization, and reveals what it takes to survive a 97% token price crash with your optimism and community intact.  We really enjoyed this conversation with Martin, and we hope you do too! — TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Figuring out “Can we do this thing?” while doing it   01:00 - ZEROPOD Intro   01:51 - The Martin Origin Story   04:00 - College and Interning at Google   05:00 - Oneshot by Topshot   07:00 - 2021 NFT Season Nostalgia   10:55 - Who the F**k is Buying XRP?   11:50 - Ethereum Stock Split Discussion  15:15 - First Impressions of Nouns   16:15 - Leaving TopShot to Explore Onchain Options   17:50 - Freelancing with Nouns Builder   19:19 - Agora, Explorer Grants, and Other Nouns Initiatives   20:00 - Mogu Mogu Mogu: Nouns Governance Tooling   24:19 - Starting $HIGHER   25:00 - Roots in /bullposting    28:00 - How Would He Launch Higher Today?   32:00 - The Strength of Builders Who Stick Through the Bear   34:00 - “Higher, Not Sideways”  37:30 - Quack Quack ⌐◨-◨:    38:50 - Is $HIGHER a Neo-DAO or Something New?   40:00 - Authenticity vs. Top-Down Control: The Higher Experiment   44:00 - Could $ANON Run a Higher-Like Playbook?   45:00 - Farcaster Users Speed-Running Speculation Lessons   47:00 - $ZEROPOD: Exploring Media and Tokens   49:00 - The Origins of $POINTS on Farcaster   50:50 - “Provenance is Culturally Emergent”   51:00 - Jacob’s Horse Meme and Its Viral Evolution   53:53 - What Is Aether?

Magical internet money: credit card points, crypto and incentives in the digital economy

The most widely used internet money today is not what you think.  It's Airline points… and it underpins the global economy and generates billions of dollars a year in revenue.  But airline points suck. They can be devalued or cancelled, and you don't actually on them.  Crypto offers a better way to offer rewards and in this episode we explore how two companies are merging consumer purchases with crypto rewards, Fold and Moso.  Fold is a Bitcoin company that offers "Sats-back" for every purchase you make. We interviewed CEO Will Reeves about Fold's growth, and found out why his customers lover getting Bitcoin back. We also spoke with Jake Margulies from Moso, a crypto version of Rakuten, that offers any crypto project the ability to distribute their token as a reward for people who make purchases using their platform.  Crypto provides a better offering for consumers, and it could be the best way to mass global adoption.  Want to try Fold?
