July 20: Strategy Keeps Raising Cash While Regulators Race the Clock

July 20: Strategy Keeps Raising Cash While Regulators Race the Clock

Author: Matt Diemer July 20, 2026 Duration: 12:31

Strategy's latest stock sale led today's discussion after the company raised another $163 million without purchasing additional Bitcoin, increasing its cash reserves while maintaining more than 843,000 BTC on its balance sheet. Matt questioned whether raising money to fund dividend obligations while continuing to hold Bitcoin is a sustainable long-term strategy. The episode also covered more companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies, Capital B's reverse stock split, and regulators missing the GENIUS Act deadline for finalizing stablecoin rules, leaving issuers waiting on key guidance before the law takes effect in early 2027. 


Matt also discussed France's decision to block Polymarket as unauthorized gambling, sharing his concerns about how prediction markets can be manipulated through coordinated betting activity in smaller political races. The episode wrapped up with South Korea's review of Upbit's 2025 hack, Zilliqa's investigation into a suspected cold wallet theft, and a look at the day's crypto markets, with Bitcoin trading around $64,600 and sentiment remaining in Fear territory. 


Happy Hodling, Everyone.
