In this episode, Nik answers questions from Augustine Carrasco, TBL’s own researcher, on U.S. Treasuries, sovereign wealth, and Bitcoin’s role in government reserves. Nik breaks down the Treasury market’s size, liquidity, and the need for continuous debt issuance, explaining how deficits, interest rates, and market demand shape economic policy. The discussion moves to tariffs, their impact on inflation, and whether ISM manufacturing’s rise signals inflationary pressures. Augustine asks if tariffs are meant to restore U.S. manufacturing, while Nik argues they are driven by geopolitical strategy. Turning to the sovereign wealth fund, Nik examines its ties to China, the risks of moral hazard, and whether Bitcoin could play a role as a strategic reserve in a rapidly shifting global financial order.

In this episode, Nik unpacks one of the most seismic shifts in U.S. economic history—the creation of America’s first sovereign wealth fund. He analyzes what this means for national investment strategy, why it represents a fundamental break from past economic policy, and how it could serve as the ultimate vehicle for Bitcoin accumulation and infrastructure investment. With policymakers already exploring a strategic Bitcoin reserve, Nik examines whether this fund could be the mechanism to bring Bitcoin onto the U.S. balance sheet, following the playbook of energy-rich sovereign wealth funds like Norway and the UAE. He also explores the broader economic and geopolitical implications, from trade war tensions to a potential restructuring of the U.S. financial system—and what this means for markets, investors, and Bitcoin’s future.

With insights into liquidity conditions, credit expansion, and Bitcoin’s growing strategic importance, this episode charts how Bitcoin’s bull case remains intact despite a quiet start from the new administration.

In this episode, Nik hosts Stefan Rust, founder of Truflation, in a conversation about how inflation is tracked and why current methods fall short. Stefan breaks down the outdated systems used by governments and introduces Truflation’s approach: real-time data collection from millions of items to reflect what people actually experience. They discuss how decentralization and AI are changing the way we view inflation, the role of sentiment analysis in understanding economic trends, and what these shifts mean for macro investors. They leave us with a bold conclusion: in a world of rapid innovation, it’s time to move beyond government metrics and embrace a decentralized future for economic transparency.
