The Crypto Treasury Playbook With Ben Forman & Josh Solesbury From ParaFi Capital
2:44
Jason YanowitzHOST
So maybe with that as the setup, can you just give your high level, like your 20,000 foot view on what is happening in this space right now and why you're so excited? Yeah.

2:55Ben FormanGUEST
So I think there's a fundamental question that is kind of like the first principles question that I think should be addressed head on on this topic, which is why should $1 of Bitcoin held by a public company be worth more than $1? Because that's the dynamic that has existed and persisted with MicroStrategy for now coming up on the past about two and a half years.

B
3:36Ben FormanGUEST

B
3:43Ben FormanGUEST
They started to buy Bitcoin with debt and with cash on the balance sheet and then did the first convert issuance in, I think, 19 or 20.
B
3:51Ben FormanGUEST
