    Mauricio Di Bartolomeo: Gold vs. Bitcoin Credit, the $40K Bitcoin Debate and Ledn's S&P Bitcoin Bond

    01/07/2026 | 46 mins.
    Ledn Co-Founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo joins Natalie Brunell for a first-time announcement: Tether's tokenized gold (XAUt) is coming to Ledn — the first step toward gold-backed loans later this year.
    He answers the Bitcoin purists on adding gold, breaks down Ledn's first S&P investment-grade bond backed by Bitcoin loans, and gives a firsthand account of Venezuela after Maduro's capture. 
    Topics we cover:
    XAUt tokenized gold (real bars in Tether's Swiss vaults) coming to Ledn, with gold-backed loans later this year
    Inside Ledn's first S&P investment-grade bond backed by Bitcoin loans — and how the ABS market could scale Bitcoin credit toward $1 trillion
    Mauricio's answer to Bitcoiners who don't like credit products or investing in other assets
    Natalie's experience taking her first Ledn loan: https://youtu.be/xD3ZoZ2woPk?si=ix0HKnD85hqMTokU
    Why Ledn caps loans at 50% LTV, and how auto top-off protects borrowers from liquidation
    His read on "seller exhaustion" and why he expects a summer price come-back
    Venezuela after Maduro's capture — and the crackdown on its illegal gold mines

    The Best of Bitcoin: Highlights From Our Most-Watched Shows with Saylor, Macgregor, Webb, Booth

    24/06/2026 | 37 mins.
    Four of the biggest voices in Bitcoin — Michael Saylor, Whitney Webb, Jeff Booth, and Col. Douglas Macgregor — in one episode.
    We went back through the most-watched, most-shared moments from the show and built them into a single story: what's broken with the money, why Bitcoin fixes it, and what you can actually do about it. In about 35 minutes you'll hear the clearest case for why the system feels rigged, why these four believe Bitcoin is the way out, and the one line Saylor leaves you with: Bitcoin will win — but not everyone wins with it.
    Topics:
    Why Jeff Booth says we've never actually lived in a free market
    Michael Saylor on why Bitcoin is "the best asset, with no second best"
    How broken money quietly concentrates wealth at the very top
    Whitney Webb on digital ID, programmable money, and how to opt out
    Why no politician or billionaire is coming to save you
    The mindset shift that turns doom into building something better

    Michael Saylor: Answering the Critics on mNAV, Bitcoin Per Share, and the Path to $1 Million

    16/06/2026 | 52 mins.
    Natalie Brunell sits down with Strategy's Michael Saylor at BTC Prague, just after he took heat for selling 32 Bitcoin — and for recent comments defending how he measures the company's growth and what its stock is really worth.
    Saylor answers the critics and short sellers head-on, explaining why "never sell your Bitcoin" is advice for everyday holders, no longer a rule for a company built to buy Bitcoin and pay out Bitcoin-backed dividends. We discuss:
    Why "never sell your Bitcoin" is advice for individual retail investors
    How the company is built to survive a crash
    Why he argues Bitcoin needs credit to keep winning
    The four ideologies of Bitcoin
    When he expects capital to rotate back from AI into Bitcoin
