Jack Mallers

CEO & Founder, Strike

Search every verified Jack Mallers interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, has continued to use his podcast and public appearances to discuss Bitcoin, sovereign debt, and macroeconomic conditions. In recent episodes, he has argued that rising government debt and bond market volatility, particularly in the United States and Europe, are strengthening the case for Bitcoin. He has commented on France's fiscal situation, suggesting the country is vulnerable due to its debt levels and lack of an independent central bank, and has speculated that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's actions, including potential bond buybacks, could lead to further currency debasement. Mallers has also stated he is "incredibly bullish" on Bitcoin, attributing its recent price movements to expectations of increased fiat liquidity. On the business side, Mallers announced that Strike has launched a new product offering 3.6% interest on cash balances, paid out in Bitcoin. He described the feature as a response to customer requests and positioned it as part of Strike's broader suite of Bitcoin financial services, which includes buying, selling, and Bitcoin-backed lending. He also mentioned that Strike has obtained a MiCA license in Europe and plans to expand its presence there. In his educational content, Mallers has continued to promote Bitcoin as distinct from altcoins and as a form of "hard money," while expressing skepticism about the long-term viability of fiat systems.

Notable quotes

“A lot of France is owned by foreigners, similar to the United States. And France, unfortunately, can't print its own money... it shares in this euro system, and so the ECB can't necessarily act in the interest of France. It has to act in the interest of Europe, and maybe France needs to fail, and the ECB can't justify printing money to save France, and so you can see a situation where France doesn't really have an ab”

“France has every single weakness that would catch them in the middle of this monetary world reordering, this fourth turning. I mean, if I were to highlight a country within Europe that's going to get hit first and get hit hard and that I'd be very, very worried about, it's France. And I said this, I literally said this 2 weeks ago. Go back, look at the timestamps. You guys know I'm a man of transparency and honesty. ”

“What I love about Bitcoin is you must be productive to remain the same amount of wealth in Bitcoin terms. Meaning this, there's no yield. There's no risk-free any of that because all of that it's of course it's not risk-free. It's all a scam, right? They're printing inflation. Sure, you're getting 5% risk-free, but your rent is getting 10% more expensive. They're extracting wealth from you on the back end by debasing”

“The most fascinating underappreciated part about Bitcoin is that it's both. Bitcoin can achieve finality in a transaction without help from any central party I need to trust. And I could do it across a border. I could do it anytime, any day. And that was the problem with gold. And so what happened is all of the gold was deposited with governments and with banks. And one day the government said, 'Oh, the IUs that you ”

“I think what they care about is lowering volatility. Okay. So for example, this Treasury buyback thing, this is Bessant really let like in the grand scheme of the debt market. His little buyback program is irrelevant. It's a rounding error. It's not like he's actually making a material impact in trying to lower rates. This is far far far from a version of yield curve control that would actually matter. I think he dou”

“The more volatile that collateral, the less credit is available for people to borrow against. The more stable that collateral, the more credit people can create on top of it. You understand? So on the screen what I have is on the left if you have a calm treasury market maybe you have $100 in treasuries and you're able to take $98 against that of just fresh capital to use. Now the more volatile it gets maybe the treas”
