Summary
Bitcoin Magazine published a video interview with Allen Helm, co-founder of Bitcoin for Corporations, in which he argues that Bitcoin is moving from the fringe into the boardroom. According to Helm, a consistent sentiment among banks he speaks with is that Bitcoin is no longer a speculative asset. He describes institutions structuring digital credit and securities around the asset, and points to record ETF inflows into BlackRock's Bitcoin products as evidence of the shift.

The segment contrasts institutional and retail perspectives on Bitcoin and addresses what Helm characterizes as misconceptions held by Bitcoiners about institutional behavior. Chapter topics include why institutions are not repeating the 2017 cycle, who is buying Bitcoin ETFs, and the implications of a J.P. Morgan report that treats Bitcoin as a non-speculative asset.

The interview also covers the classification of what counts as a Bitcoin treasury company, referencing SpaceX and Tesla, and the strategies of Strategy, Strive and Metaplanet. Participants discuss whether such treasury companies will migrate to US markets and the broader theme that capital moves toward the most efficient market access.
