The $60 Billion Bitcoin Bet | Strategy CEO Phong Le

<p>Phong Le, CEO of Strategy, joins the show to break down exactly how the world’s biggest Bitcoin treasury company works. The Bitcoin-backed credit markets, the preferreds, the leverage, and how Strategy keeps buying Bitcoin in bull and bear markets. </p> <p>We dig into how MicroStrategy pivoted during 2020, how Phong and Michael Saylor built the Bitcoin treasury model from scratch, and why Strategy believes Bitcoin is still radically undervalued. Phong explains Strike, Strife, Stride, and Stretch, how these preferreds create Bitcoin yield, why they work even when price is down, and how Strategy thinks about dilution, MNAV premiums, and raising billions without selling sats.</p> <p><strong>THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.iren.com/"><strong>IREN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://river.com/wbd"><strong>RIVER</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.anchorwatch.com/"><strong>ANCHORWATCH</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd"><strong>BLOCKWARE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://ledn.io/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=2025_whatbitcoindid&utm_content=ad_read"><strong>LEDN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://bitkey.world/"><strong>BITKEY</strong></a></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW</strong>:</p> <p>Danny Knowles: <a href="https://x.com/%5C_DannyKnowles"><strong>https://x.com/\_DannyKnowles</strong></a> or <a href="https://primal.net/danny"><strong>https://primal.net/danny</strong></a></p> <p>Phong Le: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/phong-le-b53520"><strong>https://www.linkedin.com/in/phong-le-b53520</strong></a></p>
