  Sep 11, 202653 min

  In this episode of the Syz Capital Podcast, Ursula Nitschke, CFA, Head of Business Development & Investor Relations at Syz Capital, sits down with Aline Carnizelo, Managing Partner, CEO & CIO of Frontier Commodities, for a wide-ranging conversation on commodities, investing and leadership. Aline shares her journey into the world of commodities and what it takes to build an edge in one of the most complex areas of global markets. The conversation explores Frontier Commodities' "quantamental" approach, combining fundamental research, data and AI, as well as how investors can navigate volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and rapidly changing market conditions. Ursula and Aline also discuss leadership and Aline's experience building her career as a woman in a traditionally male-dominated part of the investment industry — and what still needs to change to create more opportunities for women in investing and trading.

  Sander Andersen (https://x.com/sanderandersenn) is the CEO of H100 ($H100:NGM, $GS9:FSE, $HOGPF:OTC) (https://h100.group), the Swedish Stock Exchange listed Healthcare Tech Company with this year's most aggressive cap raising strategy to quickly accumulate Bitcoin on its balance sheet.

Now the Nordic region's largest holder of Bitcoin, H100 is at a ~USD 250mn market cap owing to Sander's impressive capital raising prowess, passion for Bitcoin and strategic experience working within the family office world. We go into the nuts of bolts of H100's winning strategy, its unique team, even the future of health linking to bitcoin and into the mind of the man behind it all.

  Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich Part 2: 555 (Go Go Go) – BTCTCs Expert subseries (B001)

  Jul 21, 202539 minS555

  In the inaugural episode of our new BTCTCs subseries at Syz the Future, Simon Gerovich (https://x.com/gerovich) of Metaplanet (3350:JP / $MTPLF) joins Richard (https://x.com/RichardByworth) in the studio for part 2 of our ongoing conversation on Metaplanet and other Bitcoin treasury companies (BTCTCs). The discussion goes in depth on the ins and outs of a functioning BTCTC, from the different mechanisms needed to continually issue shares into the markets in order to accumulate more bitcoin (e.g. ATM) as well as the very unique solution Metaplanet harnessed to achieve the same. We also chat about put underwriting, Metaplanet's entry into the US, growing institutional interest and the Japanese bond and pref market. As a former derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs, Simon put his trading prowess to task taking Metaplanet to a $7bn market cap from $2bn two months ago when we recorded our first session. The BTCTC journey of Metaplanet began at $10mn market cap 14 months ago. We believe that BTCTCs are acting as the release valve for the outlandish valuations in the Equity and Bond markets. As such, we felt this moment in time required a deeper dive into their analysis. Welcome to the BTCTC sub-series.
