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

Morgan Stanley manages trillions — and it's now putting Bitcoin in front of clients.

Amy Oldenburg runs the firm's digital asset strategy, and she joins Natalie Brunell to break down what Wall Street actually sees in Bitcoin, why the price has been stuck, and what could finally move it. She also explains how much Bitcoin Morgan Stanley tells clients to own, why most financial advisors still aren't on board, and her honest take on where the price goes over the next 5 years.

Topics:

• Why a 26-year Wall Street veteran embraced Bitcoin
• How much Bitcoin Morgan Stanley recommends owning
• Why Bitcoin is stuck even as the banks pile in
• What could spark the next big move
• Her real 5-year and 10-year Bitcoin outlook
• Why "all crypto is the same" is a costly mistake

Amy Oldenburg is Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley. Connect with her on LinkedIn.

Don't let the stock market highs fool you. Macro analyst Luke Gromen, founder of FFTT, returns to deliver a brutal reality check on what is actually happening to your money. While mainstream media celebrates green days, a hidden liquidity crisis is building behind the scenes.

In this episode, Gromen exposes the massive distortion in today's markets—the seven tech stocks holding up the entire economy and why Bitcoin has fallen so far behind as stocks hit ATHs. If you want to protect your portfolio from the ultimate "sudden stop," this is the realist roadmap you cannot afford to miss.

We discuss:

• The AI Liquidity Trap: Why soaring tech stocks are secretly starving Bitcoin of cash.
• The S&P 500 Illusion: How just seven AI stocks are masking a massive market flatline.
• The Bitcoin Bottom: Why technical indicators point to a potential correction down to $40K.
• The Tech Bubble Trap: Why the government is mathematically forced to keep the AI bubble alive.

Macro analyst Craig Tindale joins Natalie Brunell to break down the "hard bifurcation" — the widening gap between our financial system and the physical world it depends on. From Elon Musk's warning of an imminent electricity shortage to the trillion-dollar AI buildout hitting a wall of copper, transformers, and power, this is a sharp look at why you can't print real-world commodities.

We discuss:

• The paper ledger vs. the material ledger — and why it matters
• Why US defense relies on foreign supply chains
• How China quietly took balance sheet control of Western miners
• The energy and copper crunch slowing the AI boom
