In this episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast, Preston Pysh interviews Garrett Johnston, an insurance industry expert, about Bitcoin's potential role as a risk management tool within the insurance sector. They discuss how traditional investments like bonds are becoming less viable due to rising inflation and social inflation, which are impacting insurance payouts. Garrett suggests that a small allocation to Bitcoin could enhance portfolio performance and help insurance companies meet their long-term obligations. The conversation also explores regulatory challenges, the difference between Bitcoin and other crypto assets, and the potential for Bitcoin-denominated insurance policies to better match liabilities with assets, particularly for Bitcoin-related businesses like miners. They highlight MicroStrategy's success as an example of how a Bitcoin treasury strategy can improve a company's financial health and liquidity.
