WEBVTT 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:19.500 Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal podcast. 00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:22.640 I'm your host, Anna, broadcasting straight from 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.420 the heart of Bitcoin Street where the signal 00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:27.420 never drops, the gains are real, and the fiat 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.059 system is melting faster than a McFlurry in July. 00:00:30.579 --> 00:00:32.700 If you thought yesterday's headlines were bullish, 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.479 today we're past ludicrous speed. We're entering 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.460 sovereign grade acceleration. Bitcoin Live price 00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:42.659 update. Right now, Bitcoin is trading at 104 00:00:42.659 --> 00:00:47.689 ,000. $211, with a rock -solid market dominance 00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:52.509 of 54 .3%. That's over half the entire crypto 00:00:52.509 --> 00:00:55.750 economy locked into digital gold. Having Update. 00:00:56.250 --> 00:01:00.189 We're weeks into the new era of 3 .125 BTC block 00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:03.090 rewards. The squeeze is on, Bitcoin issuance 00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:05.709 is down, demand is up, and the game theory is 00:01:05.709 --> 00:01:08.489 working overtime. This having didn't just reduce 00:01:08.489 --> 00:01:12.219 supply. It ignited the global FOMO fuse. Let's 00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:15.060 start with a nuclear -sized buy. Jack Mauler's 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:17.519 21 Capital and Tether have teamed up to purchase 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:23.799 4 ,812 Bitcoin for $458 .7 million. That's a 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.120 power move. And Jack isn't alone. Cantor Equity 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.359 Partners just dropped $458 million as well. And 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.159 Nakamoto CEO David Bailey told CNBC, we are MicroStrategy 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.540 Squared. Translation? They're aiming to outstack 00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.980 Sailor. And speaking of the king of corporate 00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:43.500 conviction, Michael Saylor's strategy added $13 00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:49.000 ,390 Bitcoin for $1 .34 billion. That brings 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.120 strategy's total to $568 ,840 BTC worth over 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.739 $39 billion, average cost $69 ,287. Meanwhile, 00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:01.560 Japan's meta planet just dropped another $15 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.480 million into 0 % bonds to stack more Sats, and 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.360 now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador. Corporate 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.819 BTC accumulation has officially outpaced newly 00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:15.060 mined supply by 3 .3 times in 2025. That's not 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:17.900 just bullish, that's parabolic. And if you're 00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:20.159 still waiting for confirmation that Bitcoin is 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.039 going mainstream, Stake and Shake is now accepting 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.819 Bitcoin at all US locations starting May 16. 00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:28.520 They even put it front and center on their homepage. 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:31.360 Bitcoin isn't just in boardrooms, it's on the 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439 menu. Domestic policy alert. Missouri has passed 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.819 House Bill 594, eliminating capital gains tax 00:02:37.819 --> 00:02:40.479 on Bitcoin. Once signed, Missouri will be the 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.280 first U .S. state to make BTC tax -free. Sound 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.919 money meets sound policy. And in Wyoming, they're 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.699 preparing to launch the dollar Y -West, the first 00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:51.080 fiat -backed, fully reserved stablecoin issued 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.680 by a U .S. public entity. But the state play 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.199 isn't the only game in town. Senator Cynthia 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.919 Lummis is calling for an end to taxation on digital 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.759 asset companies nationwide. Regulatory momentum 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.590 is shifting. Finally, on the global front, Dubai 00:03:05.590 --> 00:03:08.810 has signed an MOU with Crypto .com to accept 00:03:08.810 --> 00:03:11.310 Bitcoin for all government services.

Go 90 % cashless by 2026. 00:03:20.629 --> 00:03:23.469 And Bhutan? The Himalayan kingdom just became 00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:25.909 the first country to fully integrate crypto into 00:03:25.909 --> 00:03:29.979 tourism. flights, hotels, visas, all payable 00:03:29.979 --> 00:03:32.539 in over 100 cryptocurrencies via Binance Pay. 00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:35.819 Trump News Blitz, the former and possibly next 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:39.219 U .S. president, just signed a $600 billion economic 00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:42.840 pact with Saudi Arabia.

Add that 00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:56.840 to his statement that inflation is over, prices 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.139 are down, and the Fed should start slashing rates. 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:19.860 The pivot is happening. ETF inflows just hit 00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:23.079 a cumulative all -time high of over $41 billion, 00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:26.879 yet the SEC has delayed the approval for in -kind 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.540 redemptions on BlackRock's ETH trust. Meanwhile, 00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:32.839 Wyoming is pushing ahead with state stablecoin 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.220 innovation.

Ripple could hit $3 .40 if current momentum 00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:20.509 holds. And Solana's not just a blockchain.
