Eric Yakes on Bitcoin Treasury Strategy & the End of Traditional Finance

Bitcoin isn’t just a hedge—it’s becoming the foundation of an entirely new financial system. In this episode, Brandon Karpeles is joined by Eric Yakes, author of The 7th Property and founder of Epoch Ventures, to explore the deep structural changes happening in finance thanks to Bitcoin.

They discuss:

- Why E-Cash could overhaul the global banking system
- How Bitcoin is creating a new credit cycle for corporations
- What Eric sees as the long-term future for Bitcoin as money, not just digital gold
- How companies can protect against inflation, dilution, and poor capital efficiency
- The rise of Bitcoin-backed credit markets and the risks of leverage-driven hype

This conversation is packed with expert-level insight for any founder, CFO, or investor thinking about Bitcoin as a balance sheet strategy—and how to build on it.
