ALTIMETER'S GERSTNER ON BITCOIN Gerstner said he doesn’t understand MicroStrategy’s strategy, and repeated confusion is a red flag for him. He owns some Bitcoin and may buy more if prices fall, but he’s watching to see whether MicroStrategy might be forced to deleverage, which could create short-term turmoil. He added that a major “black swan” risk would be a successful crypto hack—including potential quantum threats. Recent vulnerability testing, such as work by Anthropic, will be important for the long-term durability of blockchain technology.(*Walter Bloomberg)
