Strike founder Jack Mallers described Bitcoin as both a financial instrument and ‘moral imperative’ during a CoinDesk TV interview. He argued BTC empowers financial inclusion by bypassing traditional banking barriers, especially in underserved regions. This ethos underpins his new venture, Twenty One, launched with Tether and SoftBank.
Mallers emphasized Bitcoin’s fixed supply as an antidote to fiat inflation, calling it essential for preserving wealth. His treasury company aims to help corporations adopt BTC, mirroring El Salvador’s national strategy.
The stance resonates with ‘hyperbitcoinization’ advocates but faces skepticism over BTC’s volatility and scalability. Mallers’ influence could accelerate corporate treasury adoption, however, potentially tightening BTC’s supply.
