Bitcoin Magazine Podcast

The GENIUS Act passed last summer, and now Washington is asking the next question: what do we actually do with stablecoins? Nik Bhatia walks Ken Hagan through the layered money framework, the offshore Eurodollar plumbing, and why exporting U.S. dollar stablecoins is a direct response to the e-CNY rollout. Along the way, he explains why stablecoins are a hidden Bitcoin accelerant and why every dollar minted offshore eventually finds its way to layer-one money. 🔶 Connect with Ken Egan on X: https://x.com/Bayman11771🔶 Connect with Nik Bhatia on X: https://x.com/timevalueofbtc🔶 Learn more about the Bitcoin Policy Institute: https://www.btcpolicy.org/Chapters: 01:20 — Nik Bhatia Returns to DC: What's Changed in 2 Years03:00 — Inside The Bitcoin Layer and the Layered Money Thesis05:30 — From Repo Trader to Bitcoin Researcher08:30 — Why BPI Was Asked to Tackle Stablecoins as Statecraft11:30 — Front-Running China's Digital Yuan With U.S. Stablecoins14:20 — The Eurodollar System: Who Actually Profits Offshore17:00 — From LIBOR to SOFR — and Why the Eurodollar Is Next22:00 — Layered Money, T-Bills, and the Hidden Bitcoin Accelerant27:15 — What Bessent Really Means by "Strong Dollar"30:00 — The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Reframed: A Wallet for Tribute35:40 — Bitcoin in Global Settlement and the Multipolar World37:30 — Where to Find Nik Bhatia and TBL Pulse#Bitcoin #BitcoinPolicy #BitcoinPolicyHour #NikBhatia #BitcoinLayer #LayeredMoney #Stablecoins #GENIUSAct #Eurodollar #DigitalYuan #StrategicBitcoinReserve #SBR #Treasury #Tbills #Repo #FederalReserve #StrongDollar #DXY #Bessent #Lummis #BitcoinAct #DollarHegemony #BalanceOfPayments #DigitalGold #PetroDollar #LIBOR #SOFR #Tether #Macro #BitcoinPolicyInstitute #BPI #BitcoinMagazine #BitcoinConference #BitcoinDC #MonetaryPolicy #DigitalDollarDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.

From the 11-year battle for an ETF to the current integration of Bitcoin into the infrastructure of major wirehouses and banks, Matt explains why the "pitch" for Bitcoin has become infinitely easier.

The US launches strikes on Iran and the global power balance is shifting fast. Ken Egan breaks down the geopolitics, from the BRICS setback to what happens when Trump meets Xi in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the White House is taking sides against the banks on the GENIUS Act as the stablecoin yield fight heats up ahead of midterms. Plus, BPI drops a groundbreaking study where they tested 36 AI models across 9,000+ conversations, and Bitcoin was chosen nearly 50% of the time without ever being mentioned in the prompts.

Your right to self-custody is being quietly negotiated away. Bipartisan deal-making on the stablecoin bill could gut the BRCA provisions that protect Bitcoin developers and your right to hold your own keys. Meanwhile, the Basel framework's 1,250% risk weight makes it so expensive for banks to hold Bitcoin that none of them will and that may be by design.

The global credit market is worth $300 trillion and Michael Saylor believes digital credit will capture a massive share of it. In this keynote from Strategy World 2026, Saylor walks through the complete theory of digital credit from first principles: what Bitcoin is, why variable preferred equity is the longest-duration capital structure short of equity, and how STRC delivers double-digit yields with deferred tax treatment and principal protection. He also lays out the programmable future of digital money and digital yield, with ETFs, on-chain tokens, and bank accounts all being built on top of STRC as a foundation.🔶 Michael Saylor - Founder & Executive Chairman, StrategyChapters: 0:00 - How to Make Money Digitally1:00 - What Is Bitcoin?

AI agents are no longer just tools, they’re becoming autonomous economic actors. In this episode of Bitcoin Policy Hour, we explore how AI agents are already using bitcoin to transact and coordinate inside emerging bot-run economies, including early experiments like Moltbook, an AI-driven social network where autonomous agents interact with each other and, in some cases, create wallets and move value without direct human control. The discussion breaks down why bitcoin, especially when paired with Lightning is uniquely suited for machine-to-machine payments, permissionless settlement, and autonomous economic activity, and what this shift means for policy, regulation, and the future of money as machines begin to participate in real economies.🔶 Connect with Zack Shapiro on X: https://x.com/zackbshapiro🔶 Connect with Zack Cohen on X: https://x.com/zackcohen_🔶 Connect with Ken Egan on X: https://x.com/Bayman11771🔶 Learn more about the Bitcoin Policy Institute: https://www.btcpolicy.org/Chapters: 00:00 – AI Agents and the Beginning of Autonomy05:20 – Why AI Agents Prefer Bitcoin10:15 – What Makes an AI Agent Different From Chatbots15:45 – Autonomous Bots, Wallets, and Value Transfer20:10 – Lightning Network and Machine Micropayments25:30 – AI Agents Trading Data and Compute Power30:05 – Digital Identity, DAOs, and Machine Economies35:40 – Policy Failures: Tax, AML, and Ownership42:15 – Legal Personhood and Autonomous Liability49:30 – What AI Adoption Means for Bitcoin’s Future#Bitcoin #BitcoinPolicy #AIAgents #LightningNetwork #MachineMoney #BitcoinLightning #AIPayments #Permissionless #DigitalMoney #BitcoinInstitute #AutonomousAgents #FutureOfMoney #BitcoinPodcast #AIandBitcoinDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.

Originally recorded as a live X Space and now available as a podcast episode: SALT CEO Hunter Albright joins Bitcoin Magazine’s Mark Mason and host Isaiah Austin to dissect Europe’s accelerating Bitcoin adoption. From MiCA’s regulatory tailwind to nation-state strategic reserves and the surge in BTC-backed lending, this discussion cuts through the noise on where real momentum is building.Europe is outpacing Asia and the US in institutional Bitcoin integration, with small businesses quietly converting revenue to BTC for fast liquidity—no banks required. As digital IDs roll out in the UK, Bitcoin emerges as the clean opt-out for true financial sovereignty. Hunter breaks down SALT’s collateralized lending: no credit checks, Shield protection against liquidation, and borrowing against BTC as the smarter path to wealth acceleration. Europe’s HODL-lend-treasury hybrid is quietly shaping up as the blueprint for the next bull cycle.

In this episode of The Bitcoin Policy Hour, the conversation turns to the accelerating game theory of institutional adoption—why major banks, asset managers, and policymakers now find it strategically necessary to engage with Bitcoin. From JP Morgan’s acceptance of bitcoin as collateral to shifting credit dynamics and liquidity constraints, the panel unpacks how traditional finance is being pulled, not pushed, into digital monetary infrastructure.But with adoption comes risk. As bitcoin transitions from a counter-institutional asset to a core financial instrument, questions of governance, regulatory capture, and monetary independence take center stage. Is Bitcoin’s integration into Wall Street a validation of its inevitability—or a test of its principles? This episode examines both the bullish structural forces and the subtle dangers behind Bitcoin’s institutional era.🔶 Connect with Zack Shapiro on X: https://x.com/zackbshapiro🔶 Connect with Zack Cohen on X: https://x.com/zackcohen_🔶 Connect with Ken Egan on X: https://x.com/Bayman11771🔶 Connect with Stephen Pollock on X: https://x.com/spollockbtc🔶 Learn more about the Bitcoin Policy Institute: https://www.btcpolicy.org/⭐ Subscribe to Bitcoin Magazine Print to get our latest release "The Finance Issue" featuring exclusive content with Michael Saylor: https://store.bitcoinmagazine.com/collections/magazinesChapters: 00:00 – Bessent Tweets & Bitcoin Headlines: Institutions Have Arrived01:20 - Samourai Wallet Sentencing10:00 – JP Morgan Accepts Bitcoin as Collateral - Implications15:00 – Bitcoin as Global Collateral20:00 – The Overton Window Shift in Finance27:00 – Institutional Accumulation and Market Dynamics34:00 – Market Structure and the Role of ETFs40:00 – The Changing Face of Bitcoin Ownership47:00 – Risks of Institutional Capture52:00 – Bitcoin as a Tool for Freedom58:00 – The BPI Mission#Bitcoin #InstitutionalAdoption #WallStreet #JPmorgan #CorporateFinance #BitcoinPolicyHour #BTC #DigitalAssets #BitcoinCollateral #FinancialInnovation #MacroFinance #BitcoinStrategy #CFOInsights #TreasuryManagement #MonetaryPolicy #GlobalFinance #BitcoinRegulation #CryptoMarkets #LiquidityCrisis #gametheory DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.
