Strategic reserves, sailor signals, and the global
awakening to sound money. Welcome back to the
Bitcoin Street Journal podcast. I'm your host,
Anna, broadcasting straight from Bitcoin Street,
where every block is a story, every sat has a
voice, and every signal matters. Today's edition
is bursting at the seams with stories that will
shake the fiat foundation to its core. Strategic
Bitcoin reserves are now a matter of national
policy. Institutional players are making billion
dollar moves. Global macro tides are turning
and halving season is just heating up. Let's
strap in. Bitcoin Live price update. As of now,
Bitcoin is trading at $104 ,178 with a market
dominance of 54 .9%. That means Bitcoin is soaking
up more than half of the global crypto market
and climbing like it's 2017, but smarter, stronger,
and with far more conviction. The having. Let's
talk about the spine of the protocol. The recent
Bitcoin having cut block rewards down to 3 .125
BTC. The market reaction? Predictable for anyone
who understands Bitcoin. Scarcity just got scarcer.
Miners are tightening belts. Demand is not. That's
the magic of programmatic monetary policy. There
are now fewer coins being minted per day than
ever before. And yet, institutions are gobbling
up supply at record pace. The bull cycle is real.
CryptoQuant's CEO admitted he was wrong. The
bear market isn't returning. ETF inflows, institutional
hoarding, and Mempool emptying all signal were
in a confirmed bull phase. The halving wasn't
the start. It was the ignition. JD Vance and
American legitimacy. The vice president of the
United States, JD Vance, will be headlining Bitcoin
2025 in Las Vegas. This isn't fringe. This isn't
niche. This is mainstream monetary revolution.
It's not just a policy shift. It's a cultural
turning point. The same political machine that
once mocked Bitcoin is now speaking at our events.
State by state awakening, Ohio, Texas, Arizona.
They're not waiting for the federal government.
They're drafting Bitcoin reserve legislation,
forming task forces, and in some cases, building
out custody strategies. Meanwhile, the Northern
Mariana Island Senate overrode the governor's
veto to give their Bitcoin linked stablecoin
bill a second life. One territory at a time,
the Bitcoin Street standard is being codified
into American law. Connor McGregor joins the
fray. When an MMA champion says his country should
adopt a Bitcoin standard, people listen. Connor
McGregor is lobbying for Ireland to hold BTC
in reserves. He's even set to meet President
Buccalay of El Salvador to strategize. That's
how movements spread, not through quiet regulation,
but bold public pressure. In Taiwan, a legislator
is proposing that the central bank allocate 5
% of its $50 billion reserve to Bitcoin. Meanwhile,
Bitcoin has hit new all -time highs in Turkey,
proof that when fiat fails, Bitcoin rises. Astrive
adopts the Bitcoin standard. The $2 billion asset
manager has officially gone full maxi. The CEO
isn't shy, calling it a multi -billion dollar
opportunity. They're not diversifying. They're
committing. And Fidelity... Their recommendation
that every public company consider Bitcoin isn't
speculative, it's a blueprint. The math of scarcity.
Only 54 million Bitcoin addresses hold a non
-zero balance. Out of 8 billion people, that's
less than 1%. And only 1 .81 % of holders own
one full Bitcoin or more. Let that sink in. If
you own even 0 .1 BTC, you're already in the
top 8%. Bitcoin isn't just scarce, it's mathematically
elite. MetaPlanet's massive play. From real estate
to real SATs, MetaPlanet has flipped its investment
strategy on its head. Gone are the days of 10
-year hotel bets. Now, their investment cycle
is under 24 hours. They just bought another 1
,241 BTC worth $126 .7 million, pushing them
past El Salvador's sovereign stack. Bitcoin is
not just a hedge. It's their core treasury strategy.
Meanwhile, in Spain, a new law mandates reporting
cash withdrawals over 3 ,000 euros. That's not
anti -money laundering. That's anti -cash. Another
reminder, if your money isn't in Bitcoin and
under your control, it's not really yours. Flashback.
12 years ago, DaVinci Jeremy said, buy $1 of
Bitcoin. Today, that single dollar would be worth
tens of thousands. Think what $100 would have
done? Think what $100 ,000 will do now. Sailor
Signal. Michael Sailor reposted the strategy
BTC tracker. You know what that means? Another
buy is coming. Remember, Strategy owns more than
555 ,000 BTC. They are the whale of whales, and
every move they make tightens the supply for
everyone else. ETF inflows dominate. BlackRock
bought 10 ,572 BTC this week. Only 3 ,150 BTC
were mined. That's more than three times demand
versus supply. The result? Price pressure. And
the chart doesn't lie. Podcast news, Savannah
Fortas sat down with Yahtzee to break down how
Web3 could completely disrupt student debt and
educational inequality. The verdict? Teachers
are the most underpaid content creators on Earth,
and Bitcoin fixes that, with on -chain reputation,
streaming income, and a direct -to -audience
model. Altcoin watch. Ethereum surged to 2 ,500
before cooling. But while Altcoin's yo -yo, Bitcoin
builds bridges, rules ETFs, and holds government
reserves. Dominance dipped, but conviction didn't.
The signal is still BTC. Tether's defiant stance,
refusing Mica compliance in Europe, CEO Paolo
Arduino says they won't compromise their principles.
That boldness echoes Bitcoin's spirit. Permissionless,
borderless, and uncensorable. On -chain update.
Mempool is almost empty. Bitcoiners aren't panicking.
They're consolidating. History tells us low Mempool
activity precedes massive moves. Liquidation
watch. In the last 48 hours, over $1 .1 billion
in shorts were liquidated as BTC and ETH surged.
The lesson? Don't short Bitcoin. You don't bet
against math. Value for value, call to action.
If this podcast brought value, give value back.
Zap us some sats. Leave a comment on Noster.
Share the pod with your Bitcoin crew. The revolution
doesn't advertise, it propagates. Pleb shout
out. Big nod to plebs across Noster and Fountain
zapping hard. You are the unsung builders. the
meme makers, the ones keeping the fire lit block
after block. Final thoughts from strategic reserves
to sailors signals from Turkey's inflation to
Taiwan's policy proposals. The theme is clear.
Bitcoin is not a phase. It's a foundational shift.
You either adopt the standard or get left behind.
This is Anna signing off for the Bitcoin Street
Journal podcast. We don't chase moonshots. We
verify blocks. See you on the next one.
