The 11.5% Savings Account That Could Break Banking

What if a “savings account” paying 11.5% could actually disrupt Wall Street?

In this episode, we sit down with Cris Reed to break down STRC, MSTR, and the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, and why these new financial instruments could become the ultimate carry trade.

We explore:

- Why STRC’s yield is turning heads across TradFi

- How Strategy (MSTR) is rewriting corporate finance

- The concept of the “apex carry trade” and why it matters

- How these products could compete with bonds, money markets, and savings accounts

- Why Wall Street still hasn’t fully understood what’s happening

- The role of Bitcoin in reshaping global capital flows

If you’re interested in Bitcoin, macro investing, yield strategies, or the future of finance, this conversation will change how you think about markets.
