Summary

Live from BTC Prague Day 2, The Block's Starting Block interviews Ben Workman (Strive), Joe Nakamoto, Richard Green (Rootstock), and Alex Lzette (Capital B). Discussions cover Strive's equity-avoidance of convertible bonds and daily-dividend perpetual preferred, Bitcoin treasury company dynamics after Strategy's 32 BTC sale, mining decentralization, Rootstock's Bitcoin DeFi, and Capital B's ambition to bring digital credit to Europe.

  • Ben Workman explains Strive's equity-only raise strategy and why they avoided convertible bonds to prevent forced selling.
  • Strive's products: ASST (volatility-amplified common equity) and SATA (perpetual preferred moving to daily dividends).
  • Strategy's 32 BTC sale is framed as a strategic proof of liquidity to rating agencies, not a bearish signal.
  • Joe Nakamoto highlights Bitcoin mining centralization in China/US and advocates home solar mining and independent pools.
  • Richard Green presents Rootstock as a PoW Bitcoin sidechain for EVM DeFi and institutional yield products.
  • Alex Lzette positions Capital B as Europe's largest public Bitcoin treasury, aiming to issue digital credit instruments.
  • Broad consensus: Bitcoin adoption is inevitable and treasury companies that avoid forced selling will survive the bear market.
Ideas
Ben Workman Chief Investment Officer, Strive 4:31
Bitcoin is a mature mainstream asset.
Bitcoin is deeply liquid with $35B daily spot volume, adopted by companies and nations, resilient, and here to stay as a mainstream asset, no longer a fringe speculation.

ASST offers amplified Bitcoin upside.
Strive's common equity ASST is amplified ~60% to Bitcoin, can outperform Bitcoin long-term, and provides high liquidity (75-80M daily) attractive for both long-term investors and volatility traders.
ASST HIGH
Ben Workman Chief Investment Officer, Strive 17:56
Daily dividends stabilize SATA volatility.
Moving Strive's perpetual preferred SATA to daily dividends removes arbitrage timing advantages, stabilizes price volatility, and creates an attractive stable yield instrument.
SATA MED

Capital B leads European Bitcoin treasuries.
Capital B is Europe's first and largest Bitcoin treasury company, holds 3,000+ BTC with no fiat leverage, backed by 50+ institutions, and is laser-focused on issuing digital credit instruments to meet massive demand for double-digit performance with low volatility.
Capital B HIGH
