Hoskinson floated converting 5-10% of the 1.7B ADA treasury into BTC earlier this year after Cardano DeFi TVL stayed flat near $300M through a whole bull cycle — the scaled-back plan is basically admitting the original dev-grant spray-and-pray failed. Micro-fees on Leios and BTC-backed credit are both bets on import rather than build: pull Bitcoin liquidity in because native ADA liquidity never materialized, and spread SPO revenue across volume because per-tx economics stop working once throughput jumps 50x.
