from Treasury Orange - Bitcoin Podcast · host Tyler Rowe

🔥 Pete Rizzo (BitcoinTreasuries.net president) reveals 60% of Bitcoin treasury companies are underwater on their purchases. He predicts Strategy (MSTR) will hit 750K Bitcoin by end of 2026. The perfect warm up to MSTR True North on a Wednesday! In this Treasury Orange exclusive, the journalist who's covered Bitcoin for over a decade reveals: ✅ 60% of 100+ sampled treasury companies underwater on Bitcoin purchases (new data) 💰 Strategy prediction: 750K BTC by end 2026 (from current 650K) driven by digital credit 📊 "It's 2013 in Bitcoin businesses." 400 companies today, headed to thousands 🎯 ATM dilution model collapsed. Preferreds + digital credit are the future ⚡ Only 3-5 companies can afford to build preferred products (capital costs too high) 🚨 "Wall Street wants you to think Bitcoin IPO'd and it's over." Treasury companies break that narrative 💎 Jurisdictional land grab mostly over. Now it's about execution and operating businesses *THE DATA BOMB:* Pete's team at BitcoinTreasuries.net analyzed 100+ treasury companies' cost basis: "About 60% were underwater." If Bitcoin stays range-bound, these companies must innovate or die. Who survives? "Execution teams that can navigate markets." Strategy ends 2025 at ~670K Bitcoin. Pete predicts 750K-850K by end of 2026. How? "Digital credit products. He'll do 10-12 more 10K Bitcoin buys in 2026.
