In this episode, Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo joins the Milk Road Show to share his thesis on the coming explosion of Bitcoin treasury companies and why they may drive the next major inflow into Bitcoin. He explains why stablecoins and NFTs were once ignored just like Bitcoin treasuries are now, why thousands of firms—not dozens—might soon hold BTC, and how this could mirror past crypto waves like CoinMarketCap and the ICO boom. The episode also touches on meme coins, regulatory bottlenecks, tokenized stocks, Bitcoin vs. crypto culture, and more. Enjoy!
