Kyle Reidhead is the Founder of Impact3 and Co-Owner of The Milk Road. In this episode, we provide a comprehensive guide on ETH treasury companies, publicly traded firms focused on acquiring and staking ETH for their balance sheets, while tapping into DeFi to earn yield. We explore how these firms raise capital to buy more ETH, how staking/DeFi differentiates them from BTC treasury companies, why metrics like mNAV, share count, and ETH purchase-to-issuance ratio matter, and how this new Wall Street phenomenon is driving an outsized bid to buy a shrinking supply of ETH. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ♦️ REDSTONE | THE LEADING MODULAR BLOCKCHAIN ORACLE 🥞 SYRUPUSDC BY MAPLE | DEFI'S PREMIUM YIELD ASSET 🦅 FALCON | OVERCOLLATERIZED SYNTHETIC DOLLAR - POINTS PROGRAM NOW LIVE ⚡ SPARK | THE ONCHAIN CAPITAL ALLOCATOR 🏦 MANTLE | INNOVATING THE FUTURE OF ONCHAIN FINANCE 🐡 PUFFER UNIFI | A BASED ROLLUP TO ETHEREUM WITH NATIVE YIELDS 📈 RUMPEL | TURN POINTS INTO PROFITS ⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 6:49 - Kyle, Impact3, and The Milk Road 12:00 - Why Kyle’s team is so long ETH 18:17 - Is it a DAT or ETH treasury company? 19:23 - What is mNAV and how the premium trades 23:54 - How publicly traded companies pivot to ETH DATs 29:11 - Importance of share count 31:26 - Sponsor break 32:36 - How ETH DATs raise money to buy more ETH 39:02 - Staking and DeFi yield for public markets 43:50 - Picking winners among ETH DATs 49:20 - The shift with ETH price leading sentiment 56:21 - ETH purchase / issuance ratio 59:29 - Sponsor break 1:01:05 - Key takeaways from recent talks with Joe Lubin 1:05:17 - BTCS is a standout as an operator 1:11:28 - Ethereum DeFi 2.0 comes next 1:17:20 - Risks 1:27:06 - Recent OTC ETH buy from EF 1:29:52 - When will the market top out? 1:31:03 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Strategic ETH Reserve website: https://strategicethreserve.xyz/ ► Crypto Treasuries website: https://cryptotreasuries.com/ ► Milk Road website: https://milkroad.com/ ► Milk Road on X: https://x.com/MilkRoadDaily ► Impact3 website: https://impact3.co/ ► Impact3 on X: https://x.com/Impact3Growth ► Kyle on X: https://x.com/kyleReidhead ------ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions.
