Mark Yusko is an American investor and the founder, chief executive and chief investment officer of Morgan Creek Capital Management, which he set up in 2004. He previously ran the endowment investment office of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, after working at the University of Notre Dame’s investment office, and in 2018 he started Morgan Creek Digital to invest in blockchain and digital assets.
Brian Rose has interviewed Yusko twice on London Real, in 2023 and 2024. They talked about inflation, why he sees Bitcoin as a new base layer of money, blockchain and decentralised finance, and his forecast that Bitcoin could reach $150,000.
Both interviews are listed below.
Bitcoin, Inflation and Why Blockchain and DeFi Are The Greatest Wealth Creation Opportunity Of Our Lifetime (2023). His first interview, with his background and his core case for Bitcoin and blockchain.
Speaking in 2024, Yusko argued that gold has been the base layer of money for 5,000 years and that Bitcoin will play that role in future.
Yusko says the greatest wealth comes from backing innovation before most people understand it, and that this means accepting ridicule for going against the consensus.
In 2023 he linked his interest in Bitcoin to inflation, arguing that assets with a fixed supply can protect savers when money loses value.
Yusko built his career on the university endowment model, which spreads money across alternative assets. He sees blockchain and decentralised finance as the next frontier for that kind of long-term investing.
