1confirmation Founder: Ethereum's Institutional Holding Structure Healthier Than Bitcoin's

On August 24th, Nick Tomaino, who is the founder of the crypto venture capital firm 1confirmation, put up a message saying, "The crucial defect of Strategy is that Michael Saylor holds 10% of the company's equity but wields 45% of the voting rights. Meanwhile, the company holds 3.3% of the total Bitcoin supply. He shows up on TV every day as a 'Bitcoin spokesperson.' Clearly, Wall Street doesn't want him to become wealthier." In contrast, Tom Lee's stake is significantly smaller than Michael Saylor's. And companies like SBET, ETHZ, and GAME are making headway without anyone cornering the Ethereum holdings. This is precisely why Wall Street and the public will offer support to ETH in a manner distinct from BTC.
