In case you missed it, we had @Leishman (CEO & CTO of @River) at PubKey to discuss the "Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset" trend... ...and yes, people are still overlooking things about the dominant narrative of this cycle. 🧵 (1/6)

We're seeing the fastest money supply growth in years. If you held bitcoin over the past year, you outperformed money debasement by 10x.

bitcoin brokerage River sees record numbers of new account signups by businesses, including small businesses people are focused on treasury companies when talking about corporate adoption, but don’t forget about small businesses this will be huge for bitcoin adoption long term

I was sleeping on the @River Bitcoin Ticker Widget for iPhone. 🔥

One of the best ways to orange pill people is with Bitcoin Interest on Cash at @River. It's a way for pre-coiners to invest in Bitcoin without "spending" any of their dollars. The interest rate is 3.8%!

39 Bitcoin Treasury Companies now hold 670K BTC. They make up 25% of all public companies with bitcoin holdings. So what are Bitcoin Treasury Companies, and why do they exist?

People keep asking me: why don’t you take @River public and run a leveraged Bitcoin equity playbook? Doing so would be counter to our mission of building the world’s most trusted financial institution. It is not in the interest of River clients for us to go public and distract ourselves simply to raise money to buy Bitcoin. We have a large (and growing) treasury, so we are not capital constrained. Going public can be a valuable tool, but it needs to be done for the right reason: raising capital to scale operations more effectively than can be done in the private markets. If River went public to run a leveraged Bitcoin equity play, my job would change. My number one focus would become convincing the public markets to buy River’s stock to ensure our NAV ratios stay high, instead of focusing on serving our clients. Some people are built to do that, but I have no interest in such things. All I want to do is build the best financial institution our clients have ever seen.

At @River we publish our annual financials. We're a private company but believe that you have a right to know the financial health of your Bitcoin exchange. This year's numbers are even stronger. Trading volume has already surpassed last year's and our treasury is much larger📈

I’ve started using River as the place where I keep my cash until it’s automatically invested in Bitcoin. Just added another 5K to my account which will grow at 3.8% until my hourly DCA eventually picks it up and converts it into BTC. Investing on autopilot FTW 🙌
