WEBVTT 00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:20.609 Bitcoin Street breaks $100k, strategic reserves, 00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:22.949 sailors prediction, and the global shift to digital 00:00:22.949 --> 00:00:25.550 power. Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal 00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:28.070 podcast. I'm your host, Anna, and if you're tuning 00:00:28.070 --> 00:00:31.070 in today, buckle up. This isn't just an episode. 00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:34.649 It's a digital thunderclap. We're covering Bitcoin's 00:00:34.649 --> 00:00:38.210 historic push above our $100 ,000, a flurry of 00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:40.450 state level crypto laws lighting up the American 00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:43.649 map, institutional adoption going nuclear, and 00:00:43.649 --> 00:00:46.390 Michael Saylor taking us on a 2045 vision quest. 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.380 All signal, no fiat static. Let's go. First stop, 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.479 legislative fireworks. Oregon just made Bitcoin 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.020 history with Senate Bill 167, now signed into 00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:01.380 law. This isn't your usual legalese. SB 167 officially 00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:03.939 recognizes digital assets like Bitcoin as legal 00:01:03.939 --> 00:01:07.180 collateral. That's huge. It sets a precedent 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:09.500 that could ripple across the country. Bitcoin 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:11.519 is now as legitimate in the court of law as it 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.140 is in the court of public opinion. And Oregon 00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:17.260 isn't alone. Arizona isn't watching from the 00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:19.920 sidelines. They've jumped into the game with 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.480 a law establishing a strategic Bitcoin Reserve. 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.920 Think about that. A US state not just hodling, 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.819 but strategically hodling. This isn't a trend. 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.280 This is a movement. Combine that with New Hampshire's 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.000 earlier Bitcoin Reserve law and Texas's SB21, 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.400 which just passed out of committee. And what 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.260 you're seeing is the beginning of a new kind 00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:43.900 of monetary arms race, a peaceful one, an open 00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:46.310 source one. It's the Bitcoin street standard, 00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:48.969 red, white, and orange. Now enter Michael Saylor, 00:01:49.189 --> 00:01:52.230 stage center. The strategy CEO is throwing down 00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:55.290 the gauntlet, saying 700 Bitcoin treasury companies 00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.530 will emerge by next year. He's not guessing. 00:01:57.930 --> 00:02:00.469 He's mapping the terrain. Saylor believes these 00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:02.810 corporate hodlers are becoming exponentially 00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:05.730 more powerful, turning Bitcoin from an asset 00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:08.569 into a competitive advantage. And who can argue 00:02:08.569 --> 00:02:12.009 with him? Bitcoin just leapt back over $100 ,000, 00:02:12.469 --> 00:02:15.080 not just reclaiming six digits. but doing it 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.560 with flair. It's now the fifth largest asset 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.080 in the world. That's above Amazon. Yes, that 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.620 Amazon. Oh, and it just hit an all -time high 00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:25.879 against the Nasdaq 100. We're not in Kansas anymore. 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.419 In Saylor's vision, he's projecting $1 .13 million 00:02:29.419 --> 00:02:33.840 per Bitcoin by 2045. In his words, every Bitcoin 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.520 you don't buy is $1 .13 million cost. Don't call 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.259 it hopium. Call it math, scarcity, conviction, 00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:44.330 monetary gravity. Let's zoom out to the global 00:02:44.330 --> 00:02:47.530 chessboard. In the UAE, Emirat, the state -owned 00:02:47.530 --> 00:02:50.289 oil and gas colossus now accepts Bitcoin and 00:02:50.289 --> 00:02:52.830 crypto at their gas stations. That's right. Bitcoin 00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:55.289 isn't just a store of value. It's fuel for your 00:02:55.289 --> 00:02:58.469 car. Literal petro -Bitcoin. And over in Japan, 00:02:58.949 --> 00:03:02.710 MetaPlanet is issuing another $21 .25 million 00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:06.669 in 0 % bonds to buy even more BTC. They're already 00:03:06.669 --> 00:03:08.990 loaded with a 1 billion yen Bitcoin balance. 00:03:09.449 --> 00:03:11.789 They're not slowing down. They're doubling down. 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.819 Now let's talk ETFs. It's like a black hole of 00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:19.580 demand. ARK21 shares pulled in 567 BTC in a single 00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:23.680 day. Meanwhile, BlackRock's ETH ETF saw 10 ,910 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.340 ETH walk out the door. The contrast is stark. 00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:28.740 One narrative is gaining strength. The other 00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:31.199 is leaking momentum. And the Bitcoin network? 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.639 It's holding strong. A massive support level 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:39.819 has emerged at $94 ,719, where nearly 200 ,000 00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:45.759 BTC were stacked. Resistance? $1 ,101 ,673. We're 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.939 bumping the ceiling. Bulls are warming up for 00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:51.680 liftoff. Whale alert. Over 3 .3 million link 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.259 were pulled from exchanges in a day. Tether's 00:03:54.259 --> 00:03:58.280 USDT supply now sits above $150 billion, split 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.240 almost evenly between Tron and Ethereum. The 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.780 liquidity flood is here. Meanwhile, Coinbase 00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:07.780 is making moves, confirming $2 .9 billion acquisition 00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:11.300 of Deribit. The crypto options juggernaut. This 00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:14.000 isn't a footnote. This is Coinbase going full 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.139 tilt into institutional futures. Bitcoin Street 00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:20.259 is now Bitcoin Circuit. On the macro stage, the 00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:23.199 US is slashing tariffs on UK auto and steel exports. 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.120 That's fuel for risk assets. Trump teased a massive 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.100 trade deal. Bitcoin spiked above $1 ,104 ,000. 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.639 We're in geopolitical alignment, and Bitcoin 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.439 is at the center. Ethereum's reclaiming its rhythm, 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.069 too. back over $2 ,000. And while Memocoins dance 00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:42.949 and Dogecoin dreams, Bitcoin remains the gravity 00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:47.290 well, the OG, the center of mass. In 24 hours, 00:04:47.529 --> 00:04:51.209 CryptoMarketCap added $235 billion. That's not 00:04:51.209 --> 00:04:54.389 a typo. That's real capital. Shorts got liquidated 00:04:54.389 --> 00:04:58.790 to the tune of $500 million. Over 344 ,000 new 00:04:58.790 --> 00:05:01.930 Bitcoin wallets spun up in a single surge. Retail 00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:04.730 is back. FOMO has re -entered the chat. Let's 00:05:04.730 --> 00:05:07.490 talk sovereignty. Tether just gave $100 ,000 00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:10.350 to BTC Pay Server for the second year in a row. 00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:13.990 Why? Because open source matters, because sovereign 00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:16.310 payments matter, because holding your own keys 00:05:16.310 --> 00:05:18.889 matters. And now a quick shout out to the heartbeat 00:05:18.889 --> 00:05:21.689 of the movement, to the Bitcoin maximalists holding 00:05:21.689 --> 00:05:23.850 the line on NostraWix, to the entrepreneurs building 00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:26.370 with lightning rails, to the plebs zapping their 00:05:26.370 --> 00:05:29.769 value one sat at a time, to the V4V diehards, 00:05:29.910 --> 00:05:31.810 to the sovereign stackers, to those who remember 00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:34.560 the mission.
