About this episode
Dylan LeClair, Head of Bitcoin Strategy at Metaplanet, joins David Sencil at the Bitcoin MENA Conference to explain how a new generation came to Bitcoin before traditional economic theory — and how that perspective now informs one of the most aggressive corporate Bitcoin strategies in the world.
This interview covers Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury model, using Japanese capital markets to acquire Bitcoin, volatility and options strategies, institutional adoption, why the four-year Bitcoin cycle may never have existed, and why macro liquidity now drives Bitcoin markets.
