Dan Hillery: Digital Credit Could Rival BTC’s $1.5 Trillion Market Cap

Two years ago, Bitcoin-backed digital credit barely existed. Today it’s a roughly $16 billion market and Dan Hillery of UXTO thinks the financialization layer on top of Bitcoin could one day rival the network itself. In the debut episode of The Allocators Edge, Hillery breaks down how variable-rate preferred securities like STRC and SATA are priced, why buybacks keep them anchored near $100 par, and what separates digital credit risk from digital equity risk. He also walks through the structured credit fund he’s building, including its senior and junior tranches. 0:00 — Digital Credit Is the Fastest-Growing Part of Bitcoin’s Capital Structure 1:18 — Why STRC’s Variable Rate Design Has No Precedent in Market History 2:59 — What Flat or Falling Bitcoin Prices Mean for Strategy and Strive 4:17 — Short-Duration Bitcoin-Backed Notes and the Next Five Years of Products 5:45 — The Biggest Misconceptions Investors Have About Preferred Securities 6:58 — How Buybacks and Capital Markets Activity Anchor STRC Near $100 Par 8:09 — Why Major Fund Classes Still Can’t Touch Digital Credit Today 9:10 — Inside the UXTO Credit Fund: Senior and Junior Tranche Structure 10:35 — Where the Leverage Comes From and How Volatility Risk Gets Transferred 11:50 — Liquidity, Redemptions, and Digital Credit in a 60/40 Portfolio This video is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
