In this episode, CEO & Founder of 10x Capital Hans Thomas explains how Bitcoin treasury companies are becoming global “on-ramps” for digital asset adoption, leveraging public markets and the flywheel effect to compound holdings. He shares insights on raising capital from crypto whales and institutions, executing deals in emerging markets, and why execution and low-cost capital matter more than hype.
