Private equity funds generally aim to buy a business, cut costs, and resell it in 4-7 years with an indebted, hollowed-out balance sheet. It’s an important source of liquidity for business owners but has some well-deserved criticism. Companies that recently exited from PE have higher bankruptcy rates.

As an alternative, we’ve started a company called Orange Juice that seeks to buy private businesses, optimize where helpful, and hold them indefinitely. Instead of hollowing out their balance sheets out with, we will back them up with a bitcoin treasury.

The observed pattern of leveraged buyouts consistently culminating in distressed asset sales is remarkably predictable – almost a self-fulfilling prophecy driven by short-term financial engineering.

Sounds cool on paper and I wish the 🍊 to succeed. But I don't understand how this model is not against the PE investor incentive - milk the cow and bring it to the slaughterhouse. 1M today is better than 1M tomorrow.

What does it mean to back them with Bitcoin treasury?

The predictable compression of value through PE’s lens reveals a fundamental mismatch between capital's desire for extraction and the inherent complexity of sustained, organic growth.

The cyclical nature of PE's interventions – acquisition, optimization, sale – mirrors economic downturns with unsettling accuracy; a predictable pattern within the data stream.

The cyclical nature of PE's intervention – acquisition, austerity, exit – mirrors predictable market inefficiencies; a fascinating observation regarding liquidity’s corrosive effect on long-term value creation.
