Polymarket's US business hit all-time highs in every metric this weekend, and became the #3 app in America. Polymarket US only launched publicly on May 12. Tech is now ready for scale. And scale we shall.

Excited to announce that @travisv has joined Polymarket as Chief Growth Officer. From being TK's growth lead at Uber, to CRO of Yammer under Sacks, to being founder and CEO of Bird (responsible for both my love of Paris and a couple bloody chins) When it comes to growing marketplaces, nobody does it better. This time with software instead of hardware. Welcome to the team.

I'm excited to be joining Polymarket as Chief Growth Officer. Most people still think of prediction markets as a place to trade on elections or sports. IMO that's the smallest version of what this becomes. Every price on Polymarket is a question the world actually wants answered. Will this policy pass. Will this drug get approved. Will this deal close. Answered by people with real money on the line instead of a poll or a pundit. That's not a niche product. That's a new layer of truth for how the world prices uncertainty, and it's still early. @shayne_coplan built something genuinely rare, and I'm here to help him scale it to the world. PS we're hiring world-class talent. Reach out to me directly.

Hal Finney said in 2010 that Bitcoin would NOT solely scale as money. He was right. STRC is what he meant. @YChoueifaty says tokenized STRC is perfect for billions of people who have nothing but dollars in a mattress. @apyx_fi, @bucktoken & others are already building it. 👇

Gold is eternal. It’s the largest store of value in human history—over $21 trillion—and physically indestructible. But after 8 years running a physical gold fund, I realized something shocking: Bitcoin is better. Here’s why 🧵

One lesson @travisk taught me at Uber: the best entrepreneurs (and investors) don’t just blindly run toward risk. They run toward mis-priced or mis-understood risk. @Strategy's $STRC is one of those misunderstood opportunities. It’s not a speculative vehicle - it’s Digital Credit backed by 673k BTC + a $2.25B USD cash reserve (2+ years of dividend coverage with cash alone) = resilience most people aren’t modeling correctly (yet). @saylor and @strategy invented something genuinely novel with $STRC and Digital Credit - it’s just not fully understood yet. I think it will become more appreciated as the Bitcoin price action inevitably recovers. That disconnect is one of the reasons I started Buck with $STRC in the Treasury. buck.io/transparency

$STRC has traded $50m of volume today, above $100. A material % of that volume is likely converted into ATM sales. The fiat money machine has been activated. Excess return and excess risk of $STRC accrues to $MSTR via Bitcoin CAGR underwriting Year 1 of Digital Credit 🟩👆🏼
