NAKAMOTO NATION EPISODE 5
In this immensely bullish episode of Nakamoto Nation, Bitcoin OG (and the man who orangepilled me) Austin Alexander (@BTCismoney) takes us on an incredible journey from the early days of Bitcoin when faucets gave away 5 BTC for free, to today's corporate #BTC revolution.
Austin shares his unbelievable story of discovering Bitcoin in 2011, watching it crash from $28 to $3, leaving potentially thousands of BTC on a work computer, and his eventual conviction that led him to a career in Bitcoin.
Austin explains why Bitcoin represents humanity's first universal, consistent unit of economic measure—comparing it to the invention of the kilometer—and why this will unlock unprecedented human potential.

Nakamoto has made its first investment into Netherlands-based Treasury!
Treasury has already accumulated 1,000 BTC following its successful round
Treasury intends to publicly list on the Euronext Amsterdam exchange through a reverse listing with MKB Nedsense N.V.
Some exciting news. We just launched Treasury and are running to become europe's largest bitcoin treasury company 🇪🇺
@tyler and @cameron are backing big with @winklevosscap, and so is @davidfbailey's @nakamoto, bringing initial raise to $147m

NAKA NATION EPISODE #4
In this exclusive interview, Kevin Zhang (@SinoCrypto), newly appointed Head of Asia for @nakamoto, breaks down the untapped opportunity in Asian $BTC treasury markets.
With 10 years of Bitcoin mining experience and deep connections across China, Zhang explains how $NAKA's "treasury of treasuries" model aims to capitalize on regulatory arbitrage between Hong Kong and mainland China.
Key topics covered:
- Why China's Bitcoin demand remains "immense" despite multiple bans
- How Moon Inc could become the gateway for Chinese institutional Bitcoin investment
- Nakamoto's strategy to identify and back one champion treasury company per global region
- The unique value proposition of Bitcoin mining companies beyond just producing Bitcoin
- How Nakamoto plans to acquire distressed treasury companies at discounts to NAV
- Zhang's journey from gaming and corporate finance to becoming a Bitcoin OG through mining
Zhang argues the Hong Kong play could dwarf even @metaplanet 's success, potentially unlocking one of the world's largest pools of capital that's been cut off from Bitcoin since 2021.
