The Bitcoin Treasury Bubble: Reflexivity, Metrics, and the Unwind

How valuation distortions, metrics, and Wall Street engineering built a new kind of speculative bubble on top of sound money.

Bitcoin is not the bubble, but what’s being built on top of it might be. In this paper, I walk through why Bitcoin Treasury Companies (BTC-TCs) are showing all the classic signs of a reflexive financial mania. Drawing parallels to past bubbles like Conglomerates, Mortgage Trusts, Cannabis, and SPACs.

I outline the structural flaws, unsustainable metrics, and what an unwind would look like. Whether you’re a Bitcoiner, investor, or skeptic this is required reading for understanding what happens when Wall Street financial engineering meets narrative-driven markets.
