Digital Risk w/ Jeff Walton | Strategy World 2026

Bitcoin carries a 1,250% risk weight under Basel III that is five times riskier than public equities in the eyes of regulators. But does that match reality? Jeff Walton, Chief Risk Officer at Strive, breaks down why the current risk rating gap is the single biggest obstacle to institutional Bitcoin adoption. He introduces the concept of digital credit and shows how Bitcoin's 24/7 transparent data actually makes it easier to risk-model than traditional assets.
