Summary

Anthony Pompliano breaks down why Michael Saylor and Strategy selling 32 bitcoin is not a sign of lost faith — it's a calculated signal to credit rating agencies and the traditional finance world. In this episode, we cover why Strategy sold a fraction of its bitcoin holdings, how the sale was designed to prove bitcoin's liquidity to skeptical rating agencies, why Pomp's own company ProCap Financial did the same, and why this is actually a bullish milestone for bitcoin's march toward mass adoption.
