Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, announced in July 2026 that Strike is now authorized under the European Union's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation, allowing the company to operate across all 27 EU member states. Mallers stated that Strike is a Bitcoin-only company and described the authorization as a milestone that enables the company to serve European Bitcoiners with services including brokerage, no-fee dollar-cost averaging, and free withdrawals to cold storage. In recent public appearances, Mallers has argued that Bitcoin's price weakness is driven by global liquidity conditions rather than factors such as competition from artificial intelligence or meme coins. He stated that rising bond yields, a stronger U.S. dollar, and tightening financial conditions are forcing investors to sell assets, including Bitcoin. Mallers has also discussed the financial structure of MicroStrategy, questioning whether its complex capital structure—including debt, preferred shares, and common equity—can sustain itself if Bitcoin's price does not rise significantly. He described the company's model as "path dependent" on Bitcoin consistently increasing in value. Additionally, Mallers expressed the view that Bitcoin benefits from both inflationary and deflationary macroeconomic scenarios, stating that it "can win two ways" and that it serves as a "smoke alarm" for fiat liquidity conditions.
