In this episode, I chat with Jesse Myers, aka “Croesus” on X, a Bitcoin strategy advisor and former co-founder of OnRamp Bitcoin. With an MBA from Stanford and experience at Bain & Company, Jesse is now leading Bitcoin strategy at SmarterWeb and advising UTXO Management.

We dive deep into the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies—how they’re reshaping capital markets, unlocking trapped fiat, and potentially becoming the most valuable companies in the world.
