MicroStrategy has become the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury company — raising billions, buying Bitcoin, and transforming from a software business into a crypto giant.

But is this strategy brilliant financial innovation… or a high-risk bubble waiting to burst?

In this episode of the Intelligent Wealth Podcast, Tony, Carl, and Awet debate:
1. MicroStrategy’s 2,400% share price rise in 5 years vs. Bitcoin’s 888%
2. How they raise funds through bonds & equity to keep buying BTC
3. Risks of extreme debt, volatility & exogenous shocks
4. Michael Saylor’s vision, innovation, and cult-like following
5. Is it smarter to own MicroStrategy stock… or just Bitcoin itself?
