What if corporate Bitcoin strategy is evolving beyond Strategy (MSTR)?In this episode, we sit down with Scott Ellam, CEO of XCE Connecting Excellence Group, to break down a new model for Bitcoin treasury companies: the Dual Flywheel Strategy.Instead of just raising capital to buy Bitcoin, XCE combines:• A cash-flow generating executive recruitment business• A Bitcoin treasury strategy• Bitcoin-denominated convertible bonds• Performance-based share options tied to Bitcoin per shareThis creates two compounding engines:1?? Operating revenue (Human Capital) flywheel2??
