He Coded With Satoshi. Now He's Back to Help Bitcoin Treasuries.

Jeff Garzik found Bitcoin in July 2010 from a Slashdot post. Sixteen years later, his read on where we are is blunt: the ban risk is gone.

But Garzik's more interesting claim is about what treasury companies are getting wrong right now. Every Bitcoin sitting on a corporate balance sheet earning zero yield is money left on the table.

His framing: custody was step one, and the industry cleared it. Multi-sig, geographically separated key teams, air-gapped machines in secure rooms. Check the box. Wall Street's second layer — leveraged ETFs, indexes, options on the individual plays — that's arriving now.

Yield is the step nobody's taken. Rates on BTC sit in the low single digits. Not amazing. But 1-2% on billions is not nothing, and zero is a choice.

That's the thesis behind Hemi, his L2 that embeds a full Bitcoin node inside an Ethereum node — Bitcoin finality, EVM programmability. The question every CFO in this space is walking into 2027 with is what that Bitcoin is supposed to do — sit there, or work?

The man in the actual white paper. The man who pitched Saylor. The CEO steering the #2 treasury on Earth. And the developer who was writing this software before most of the industry knew it existed.
