BITCOIN RAILS #55: WHAT HAPPENED TO BITCOIN TREASURY COMPANIES? | with David Bailey🇵🇷 $2.0mm/btc is the floor & Brandon 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: This most recent bull market was inarguably defined by one dominant narrative: the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies and their dramatic retracement as crypto "DATs" flooded markets. David Bailey🇵🇷 $2.0mm/btc is the floor — former CEO of Bitcoin Inc. (Bitcoin Magazine bitcoin conference) — raised $760M for treasury company Nakamoto, which catapulted to a peak valuation of 33X MNAV before sliding down below MNAV after a seeming burst in treasury mania last year. David joins me and the newly appointed CEO of Bitcoin Inc. Brandon, to share the history of one of the most influential companies in Bitcoin history (Bitcoin Inc.), how their treasury play changed everything, and what we can expect from Bitcoin treasury companies moving through 2026 and beyond. In this episode, the three of us discuss: - The history of Bitcoin Inc., and the rise of Bitcoin Magazine and Bitcoin Conference empire. - The role of UTXO Management (VC and trading fund) in the team's strategy over time - How the fund’s entry into Metaplanet Inc. and their subsequent seeding of nearly a dozen Bitcoin Treasury companies since - The rise of Nakamoto and its subsequent 99% slide in price from ATHs - How David sees the Treasury thesis playing out from here… and projected winners and losers when/if these companies rebound.

BITCOIN RAILS #41 | Bitcoin Native Staking: When Trust Becomes the Bottleneck | with Babylon founder David Tse 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “99% of Bitcoin is held idle, not because of lack of interest, but because of lack of trust.” Not long after Ordinals (and BRC20) revitalized the “Bitcoin DeFi” narrative, Babylon seemingly leapt onto the scene with what felt like overnight success – locking several billion dollars of TVL in its “trustless Bitcoin staking” protocol. With some of the most interesting advisors and contributors in the space (...seriously, what other projects can claim both domo and яobin linus as collaborators?), Babylon quickly became a “BTC-Fi” Goliath – converting both Bitcoin Season 2 types and formerly staunch ETH maxis alike. In this episode, I sit down with creator David Tse to get the protocol's birth story - and learn how POS staking became the first truly trustless Bitcoin DeFi application in the world. In this episode, we cover: - Why smaller POS chains need better security… and how Bitcoin liquidity may be the answer to securing experimental chains in smaller ecosystems - How David’s former experiences in the Cosmos ecosystem informed the core thesis of using Bitcoin to secure smaller chains - A quick breakdown of Babylon’s staking architecture - and what exactly makes it “trustless” - Babylon’s relationship with BitVM, and the team’s lesser-known contributions to both BitVM2 and BitVM3 (Fun Fact: David Tse is яobin linus's PhD advisor at Stanford 🧑‍🎓) - Why Bitcoiners didn’t want to stake their Bitcoin for yield until now... and how the "trustlessness" thesis is already panning out (with 1 whale dropping a whopping 10K Bitcoin in the protocol just a few months back!)
