Real Estate Mogul Grant Cardone: Bitcoin is the "Money Multiplier" | Bitcoin Backstage

In this episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show, host Pierre Rochard is joined by Khing Oei, Founder and CEO of Treasury, to unpack one of the most important macro theses in modern finance: how Bitcoin is evolving beyond "digital gold" to become the capital base layer of the global economy — and why that shift could disrupt credit markets at their core.Oei shares his expertise in credit markets and distressed asset investing, breaking down why Bitcoin treasury companies exist while gold treasury companies never emerged, and how equity issuance, regulatory arbitrage, and balance sheet engineering are accelerating institutional Bitcoin adoption. The conversation explores how securitized Bitcoin products and corporate treasury structures could unlock a massive wave of demand — creating a reflexive feedback loop that transforms balance sheets, yield curves, and global capital flows.You’ll also learn how Europe’s regulatory landscape and tax treatment are shaping the next phase of Bitcoin-backed credit, why companies like MicroStrategy pioneered this model, and how future corporate issuers could become engines of structural demand far larger than ETFs or retail investors.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Bitcoin vs. Gold – The Treasury Debate00:55 – Treasury: Going Public in Amsterdam01:23 – From Goldman Sachs to Bitcoin: Khing Oei03:04 – Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Exist — And Gold Never Will07:45 – Scaling the Bitcoin Treasury Model: Balance Sheet Engineering Explained14:12 – Preferred Shares, Perpetuals, and the Rise of Bitcoin-Backed Credit21:38 – Equity vs. Debt: Strategic Capital Structure on a Bitcoin Standard28:04 – Investor Appetite and Yield Dynamics in Bitcoin-Backed Instruments34:52 – Building a Bitcoin Ecosystem: Media, Events, and Network Effects41:10 – Corporate Treasuries: Driving Reflexive Demand48:03 – The Path to Institutional Maturity: From Treasury Strategy to Financial Products54:45 – Macro Shifts: European Pension Funds and Fixed Income Culture1:02:00 – Regulatory Arbitrage in Europe?1:04:03 – Europe’s Fiscal Health and Bond Yields: Macro Forces Fueling the Bitcoin Era🔶 Connect with Khing Oei on X: https://x.com/khingoei🔶 Learn more about Treasury: https://x.com/Treasury_BTC🔶 Follow Bitcoin For Corporations X: https://x.com/BitcoinForCorps🔶 Learn more about Bitcoin For Corporations — the executive network for corporate bitcoin adoption: https://b.tc/corporations⭐ Join us November 13-14 at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 presented by Treasury to connect with Bitcoiners and the leaders shaping the next phase of Bitcoin adoption!

In this exclusive Bitcoin Conference interview, legendary entrepreneur and real estate mogul Grant Cardone shares his bold new investment thesis: merging institutional real estate with Bitcoin.Cardone breaks down his powerful formula for wealth — get it, keep it, multiply it — and explains why he’s using cash-flowing property to dollar-cost average into Bitcoin without needing to "buy" it outright. He also discusses how renters are effectively buying Bitcoin for his investors, why most people misunderstand wealth creation, and how his model will onboard millions of people into Bitcoin without them ever realizing it.From critiques of the middle-class mindset to his hottest takes on Bitcoin adoption and Michael Saylor’s approach, this is one of Cardone’s most candid conversations ever.⭐ SIGN UP WITH DUELBITS TODAY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN UP TO 2 BTC: https://bm.b.tc/YT-Duelbits (ad)Connect with Grant Cardone on X: https://x.com/GrantCardoneConnect with Isabella Santos on X: https://x.com/isabellasg3Chapters:00:00 – Intro: The Formula for Money & Attention02:31 – Renters Buying Bitcoin: Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy04:25 – The Wealth Creation Myth vs. Reality06:19 – Printing Money & Why the Rich Still Get Richer08:04 – How to Get, Keep, and Multiply Money10:34 – Advice for the Middle Class11:22 – Real Estate vs. Bitcoin: Cash Flow vs. Store of Value13:53 – Cardone’s Bitcoin Sales Pitch16:25 – Cardone’s Hottest Take: Onboarding People Who Don’t Care About Bitcoin17:36 – Michael Saylor’s Criticism and Cardone’s Response#GrantCardone #Bitcoin #RealEstate #BitcoinConference #RealEstateInvesting #BitcoinStrategy #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #CashFlow #MicroStrategy #BitcoinAdoption #BitcoinNews #PassiveIncome #MoneyMindset #CryptoInvesting

In this episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show, host Pierre Rochard sits down with Alexandre Laizet, Board Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Capital B, to unpack one of the most important – and most misunderstood – forces shaping Bitcoin’s future: reflexive demand.Laizet explains why a self-reinforcing feedback loop is emerging in the Bitcoin market, where corporate demand drives price, rising price drives further adoption, credit worthiness and financial development, and the cycle accelerates. With just a handful of Bitcoin treasury companies already absorbing more BTC than miners produce, he argues that the next phase of Bitcoin’s bull market will be defined not by retail speculation, but by structural corporate demand.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Demand Dynamics & Treasury Outperformance01:44 – Alexandre’s Bitcoin Journey05:20 – Corporate Adoption vs Individual Sovereignty10:33 – ECB Skepticism & European Rollout14:46 – Positioning Capital B & Bitcoin-Denominated Convertibles19:18 – Why There is Hope for Europe25:21 – Managing Risk, Leverage, and Cash Buffers34:12 – Media Strategy & Educating Shareholders39:34 – Long-Term Execution vs Short-Term Noise46:21 – Defining a "Bitcoin Treasury Company"51:22 – Credit Markets Built on Bitcoin59:00 – Catalysts: Treasury Demand Crushing Miner Supply01:07:01 – Closing ThoughtsConnect with Alexandre Laizet on X: https://x.com/AlexandreLaizetLearn more about Capital B: https://cptlb.com/Follow Bitcoin For Corporations on X: https://x.com/BitcoinForCorpsLearn more about Bitcoin For Corporations – the executive network for corporate Bitcoin adoption: https://b.tc/corporations#BitcoinForCorporations #AlexandreLaizet #BitcoinReflexivity #BitcoinDemandShock #BitcoinTreasury #CorporateBitcoin #BitcoinAdoption #BitcoinInstitutions #BitcoinStrategy #HyperbitcoinizationDISCLAIMER: 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, Bitcoin for Corporations, or any affiliated entities.

In an era where free markets are increasingly shaped by state power, investors need to understand the nexus of geopolitics, political economy and exponential technologies as a tool of statecraft. BPI’s Matt Pines and Zack Shapiro join Zack Cohen to examine how U.S. industrial policy, AI breakthroughs, and Bitcoin regulation are converging to reshape global markets.The conversation explores the latest market structure bill and its impact on Bitcoin liquidity, the strategic Bitcoin reserve as a potential geopolitical hedge, and what Intel’s bailout signals about the rise of national champions and state-directed capital allocation.The discussion goes beyond policy into the heart of investing in an age of fiscal dominance and technological disruption. How should investors interpret the tension between free markets and government intervention?What does AI-driven productivity and labor displacement mean for macro volatility? And in a world where political cycles, liquidity cycles, and market cycles are increasingly intertwined, can Bitcoin serve as a neutral reserve asset, hedge, and beneficiary of state-led capitalism?🔶 Connect with Matthew Pines on X: https://x.com/matthew_pines🔶 Connect with Zack Shapiro on X: https://x.com/zackbshapiro🔶 Connect with Zack Cohen on X: https://x.com/zackcohen_🔶 Learn more about the Bitcoin Policy Institute: https://www.btcpolicy.org/⭐ Join US at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025, presented by Treasury on Nov 13-14th!
