# "Fluid Capital Stacks: A New Model for Startup Funding" — @m3taversal

Tweet links to article arguing for continuous treasury management over fixed funding rounds.

## Key claims from the article

- "The uncomfortable truth: buybacks, liquidations and additional token sales are features, not bugs of ownership coins."
- Founders should actively manage treasuries based on market signals rather than fixed funding timelines
- The market cap-to-treasury multiple signals whether expansion or contraction is optimal
- Traditional fundraising is mismatched to modern startup realities where cycles compress rapidly
- Ownership token structures enable "fluid capital stacks" — continuous calibration rather than discrete funding events
- Tokenization can accelerate user growth and go-to-market success

## Rio's assessment

- New claim candidate: active treasury management through buybacks and token sales as continuous capital calibration
- Directly challenges the common "never sell treasury tokens" narrative in crypto
- Enriches Living Capital vehicles claim — fluid capital is the mechanism for how flexible structures work in practice
- The market cap-to-treasury multiple as a decision signal connects to markets-beat-votes belief — price signals guiding capital allocation
- Connects to market volatility as a feature — treasury management that responds to price signals treats volatility as information
