Back to EpisodesRiver Has $2 Billion In Bitcoin Under Custody — Does Strategy Need To Prove Theirs?
Description
Alex Leishman founded River to build the Bitcoin bank of the world — not a casino. Seven and a half years later, River has over $2 billion in Bitcoin under custody, proves reserves every month, and holds 437 BTC on its own balance sheet.
He covers the self-custody framework most people get wrong, why more people lose Bitcoin from their own mistakes than from custodians failing, the orange-pilled dictator theory behind every Bitcoin treasury, why the regulatory ship has sailed regardless of who wins in 2028, and why rushing a quantum fix is more dangerous than the threat itself.
