  109 - Bitcoin as Collateral: Zaria CEO Emily Barron on Lending Rails

  Sep 9, 202654 minS3

  Emily Barron, CEO and co-founder of Zaria, on why Bitcoin is becoming institutional collateral — and why servicing, not origination, is the bottleneck. Zaria builds the operational backbone for digital asset-backed loans: 24/7 collateral monitoring, primary and backup servicing, agency functions, and advisory. Emily traces the path from capital-markets work to Bitcoin collateral, the post-2022 reset in digital-asset lending, and Zaria’s bid to become a national trust bank so structured credit can treat BTC like a real fiduciary asset. ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ Join us at Mita TechTalks 2026 — an exclusive gathering for operators, family offices, and industry leaders exploring the future of capital through Bitcoin, AI, and Energy.

  108 - The First Bitcoin-Native HSA: Stu Lackey on Sound Money for Healthcare

  Aug 31, 202655 minS3

  In this episode, Stu Lackey, CEO and co-founder of Sound HSA, explains how Bitcoin can live inside a Health Savings Account — not as an ETF, but as actual bitcoin in a self-directed, tax-advantaged HSA. Stu covers why HSAs are one of the strongest vehicles in the U.S. tax code and why pairing them with bitcoin’s fixed supply fits rising healthcare costs. He walks through how SOUND HSA works: cash in, buy real bitcoin, multi-sig custody, an IRS-designated trustee, and the path from idea to live product. You’ll also hear the founder story — two decades in health-tech, the balance-sheet moment that crystallized the idea, partnerships, and building a compliant product on existing HSA rails. ⏤ ⏤ ⏤ Join us at Mita TechTalks 2026 — an exclusive gathering for operators, family offices, and industry leaders exploring the future of capital through Bitcoin, AI, and Energy.
