Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal, your
daily 15 -minute blast of truth, signal, and
unfiltered financial firepower. I'm Anna, and
we've got a lot to chew on today. Bitcoin Pizza
Day just hit different this year. We're not talking
pepperoni. We're talking price discovery. That's
right, Bitcoin blasted past $111 ,000, and it's
not done yet. But that's not all. Texas just
passed its strategic Bitcoin reserve bill. Michael
Saylor is out here reminding the world that fiat
is the scam. And if you're still waiting for
a sign to go full corn, this is it. Buckle up.
Bitcoin Pizza Day hits $111 ,000. On May 22,
2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history paying $10
,000 BTC for two pizzas. Today, that pile of
pizza money is worth over $1 .1 billion. Why
does that matter? Because today, Bitcoin punched
through $111 ,000, a new all -time high, on the
anniversary of the most legendary meme in Bitcoin
culture. As Santiment noted, a surge in positive
sentiment accompanied this move, which typically
precedes short -term pullbacks. But with ETF
inflows exploding and the macro environment deteriorating,
the corn might just keep cooking. Value for value
shout out. If you've stacked any say tees or
earned your first zap today, this milestone is
yours, too. SB21, has officially passed and is
heading to Governor Greg Abbott's desk. This
means Texas may soon become the first U .S. state
to directly custody Bitcoin in its treasury.
As Senator Lummis said earlier this week, Americans
are ready to replenish U .S. reserves with Bitcoin.
Looks like Texas is leading the way. Bitcoin
now fifth largest asset on earth. Just in, Bitcoin
has overtaken both Amazon and Google to become
the fifth largest asset by market cap globally.
With BTC's market cap now surpassing $2 .2 trillion,
only gold, Apple, Microsoft, and Saudi Aramco
stand ahead. Let that sink in. Bitcoin is now
bigger than Jeff Bezos and Larry Page. What's
next? You guessed it, Apple's $3 trillion crown.
Michael Saylor. Bitcoin is the best asset you
can own. Michael Saylor released a new video
today that's already being called his best Bitcoin
sermon to date. If you want to outperform, you
need Bitcoin. He's not wrong. Strategy, MicroStrategy,
now holds 214 ,400 BTC and is sitting on $22
.5 billion in unrealized gains. That makes it
the single most successful corporate treasury
strategy in history. Eat your heart out, Jamie
Dimon. Global Bitcoin treasury cycle intensifies.
the tech company known for battery safety, added
$1 .9 million in Bitcoin to its books, raising
holdings to 800 BTC with a 220 % year -to -date
yield. MetaPlanet is going parabolic in Japan.
French firm The Blockchain Group just raised
8 .6 euros million to buy more Bitcoin. Indonesian
Fintech. DigiAsia's stock popped $1 .90 % after
announcing a $100 million Bitcoin treasury plan.
The message? Bitcoin is the asset of the decade,
and the corporate world is taking notice. Second,
regulation by enforcement is over. In a bombshell
statement, SEC Chair Paul Atkins declared that
the era of regulation by enforcement is over.
Instead, he emphasized the need for America to
lead the global Bitcoin race, not suppress it.
Crypto -friendly regulation is becoming the norm,
not the exception. We're entering the post -Gensler
era, and that's bullish for the corn. 116 ,000
BTC leave exchanges. Over the last 30 days, 116
,293 Bitcoin have exited centralized exchanges.
That's $12 .9 billion worth of corn heading into
cold storage. Exchange inflows are down 82 %
since November, signaling long -term conviction
and tighter supply. We're in a supply squeeze,
folks, and that's before the next ETF wave hits.
ETF mania, 609 inflows in a single day. Bitcoin
ETF inflows are on fire. On May 21 alone, US
spot ETFs saw $609 million in net inflows, with
BlackRock's IBT buying 4 ,970 BTC worth $530
.6M. That's more than all the BTC mined this
month. BlackRock now holds 643 ,974 BTC, second
only to Satoshi. Opt out of the madness. Fiat
currency is the scam. Bitcoin is the exit. That's
the message going viral today as more Americans
now own Bitcoin than gold. Searches for Bitcoin
are exploding on Google, and Senator Cynthia
Lummis posted an infographic showing four in
five Americans would convert U .S. gold reserves
into Bitcoin. The people have spoken. Nostr the
