The Hurdle Rate Podcast(@HurdleRatePod):Matt Cole says Strive $ASST designed its compensation structure around one goal: outperforming Bitcoin. That meant pushing against the standard approach preferred by compensation consultants and proxy advisors, with the largest portion of long-term incentives tied directly to beating $BTC. He points to @elonmusk's Tesla $TSLA compensation as a similar example of rewarding performance over guaranteed pay. “It was a contrarian incentive style that we pushed for shareholder alignment.”
