Ryan Lane, founder of Empery Asset Management, joins Marty to break down how traditional finance is secretly fighting Bitcoin while publicly claiming to support it. Lane explains the MicroStrategy margin attack, why banks raised requirements overnight to crush MSTR shareholders, and how legacy institutions view Bitcoin as an existential threat to their deposit-based business model. They cover digital asset treasury strategies, when the Bitcoin treasury trade actually makes sense, and why sovereign adoption through a US strategic reserve could be the catalyst that finally stabilizes the asset and forces global treasuries to follow.
