Episode notes
Finite Supply Creates An Allocation Problem
- Bitcoin's supply is strictly capped at 21 million coins, which creates a unique allocation problem.
- Allocation decisions, not price timing, determine how ownership concentration affects long-term value.
Value Scales With Percent Ownership
- Michael Saylor frames Bitcoin value in terms of percentage ownership of the network, not price predictions.
- He argues marginal purchases become exponentially more expensive as a single owner approaches ~5–7.5% of supply.
Corporate Demand Removes Supply Systemically
- Multiple companies face the same constraint: only 21 million BTC exist, so different treasury models compete for a fixed pool.
- This dynamic makes corporate allocation a systemic force removing supply even when retail sells.
