• Oil & Gas Veteran: Why Energy and Bitcoin Must Go Higher

  Matthew Montgomery, Founder of MAEVLO and veteran of the oil & gas industry, joins Scarce Assets to reveal why energy prices and Bitcoin are destined to rise together — and how his firm is pioneering a fund that turns oil royalties into Bitcoin reserves. This episode connects the dots between America’s energy plateau, AI-driven power demand, and Bitcoin’s fixed supply, offering one of the clearest frameworks yet for understanding the coming era of scarcity.Connect with Onramp // Onramp Institutional // Jackson Mikalic on X // Matthew Montgomery on X // MAEVLO CompanyWHAT WE COVER:- How the U.S. shale boom turned America into a net energy exporter- Why the era of cheap energy is ending — and what happens next- The surprising parallels between oil extraction and Bitcoin mining- How AI data centers are quietly rewriting global energy demand- Why energy scarcity could be the catalyst for Bitcoin’s next bull run- How MAEVLO's fund bridges real-world energy assets with Bitcoin reservesKEY INSIGHTS DISCUSSED:- 80% of oil well production occurs in the first 24 months- LNG exports projected to triple by 2030- Data center demand expected to add +10 BCF/day of natural gas consumption- U.S. has already drilled the best shale wells — the easy energy is gone- Every MAEVLO investor fund now allocates a portion of cash flow to Bitcoin reservesMATTHEW’S THESIS:“We’re entering an era where both energy and Bitcoin are getting more scarce. Oil wells deplete, block rewards halve — the same economics drive both. The only rational strategy is to own the hardest assets in the world.”WHO IS MATTHEW MONTGOMERY?- Founder & Managing Director, MAEVLO Company- 20+ year career across shale exploration, mineral rights, and private equity energy funds- Early pioneer integrating Bitcoin into traditional energy investments- Advocates for sound money, hard assets, and family wealth preservationCHAPTERS:00:00 — Intro & Matthew’s Background03:00 — The Shale Revolution Explained10:30 — Lessons from Building in Energy17:00 — Parallels Between Shale and Bitcoin20:00 — Inside the Mineral & Royalty Market27:30 — Why Investors Seek Yield and Inflation Hedges33:30 — Oil, Gas, and the Inflation Trade39:00 — Discovering Bitcoin & Sound Money46:00 — “Scarcity Compounded”: Energy Meets Bitcoin57:00 — The Coming Energy Supply Crunch1:03:00 — How MAEVLO Integrates Bitcoin1:08:00 — Preserving Value & Getting Off Zero1:16:00 – Outro & DisclaimerScarce Assets: a biweekly podcast presented by Onramp which delves into the emergent role of bitcoin in finance professionals' strategies and outlooks.
