Episode Synopsis

This episode provides a comprehensive financial overview of Circle (CRCL), a fintech company primarily known for issuing the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin, detailing its business model of earning interest on stablecoin reserves and its efforts to diversify revenue. It examines Circle's customer base and the significant growth of USDC circulation, which directly impacts its income. The text then addresses various short-term and long-term risks, including interest rate fluctuations, regulatory changes, and competition. Additionally, the analysis explores Circle's cost structure, dominated by partner revenue-sharing, and assesses the management team's alignment with shareholder interests, before concluding with a detailed intrinsic valuation (DCF) that suggests the current market price significantly overvalues the company compared to its fundamental financial performance and growth prospects.📚 Value Investing Books Recommendation————————————————————————Warren BuffettThe Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of LifeKindle: https://amzn.to/3FVasqyHardcover: https://amzn.to/3HIfeZ2Paperback: https://amzn.to/4kBjUOZWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements (by Marry Buffett)Kindle: https://amzn.to/43Vr5dDHardcover: https://amzn.to/4n6yNusPaperback: https://amzn.to/45XBBDL————————————————————————Charlie MungerPoor Charlie’s AlmanackKindle: https://amzn.to/3Zsw9VBHardcover: https://amzn.to/4jMExq7Collector's Edition: https://amzn.to/3SRgsn7Tao of Charlie MungerKindle: https://amzn.to/4nk0akTHardcover: https://amzn.to/44eq8ORInfluence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of PersuasionKindle: https://amzn.to/4619DqLHardcover: https://amzn.to/40a8TMiPaperback: https://amzn.to/40gtwq7————————————————————————Howard MarksThe Most Important Thing (Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor)Kindle: https://amzn.to/3Tqb4YgHardcover: https://amzn.to/3SRyy8APaperback: https://amzn.to/45ohdM0Mastering The Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your SideKindle: https://amzn.to/3HXPmbyHardcover: https://amzn.to/45X6AQqPaperback: https://amzn.to/44oPGYP————————————————————————Money PhilosophiesThe Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happinessKindle: https://amzn.to/3FDbO9uHardcover: https://amzn.to/4kL3TGiPaperback: https://amzn.to/44fpkcCLimited Gift Version: https://amzn.to/4jYomGpSame as Ever: A Guide to What Never ChangesKindle: https://amzn.to/3HXBJcpHardcover: https://amzn.to/4l7vPnoPaperback: https://amzn.to/4k2ZHReThe Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and HappinessKindle: https://amzn.to/4lx2a7FHardcover: https://amzn.to/4kGX5tfPaperback: https://amzn.to/3ZEMXsC————————————————————————Classic PrinciplesThe Intelligent InvestorKindle: https://amzn.to/45T9OEvHardcover: https://amzn.to/4l4f7W3Paperback: https://amzn.to/43ZNyXbSecurity Analysis, Seventh Edition: Principles and TechniquesKindle: https://amzn.to/442yKakHardcover: https://amzn.to/3TmEEhgMargin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful InvestorCollector Edition: https://amzn.to/4lrgWNd————————————————————————Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDeepValueApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-value-investing/id1811057697Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XDn2NMbbfvrJiqk9xAqR9?si=YsWJodQKS7CEMq5Twdh_8QDisclaimer: All analysis is based on publicly available sources and may be subject to revisions or differing interpretations.
