00:00:19.979 --> 00:00:22.800
Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal, your

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.239
daily 15 -minute blast of truth, signal, and

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.600
unfiltered financial firepower. I'm Anna, and

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.259
we've got a lot to chew on today. Bitcoin Pizza

00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:34.619
Day just hit different this year. We're not talking

00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:37.679
pepperoni. We're talking price discovery. That's

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.899
right, Bitcoin blasted past $111 ,000, and it's

00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:43.560
not done yet. But that's not all. Texas just

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.579
passed its strategic Bitcoin reserve bill. Michael

00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:48.560
Saylor is out here reminding the world that fiat

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.810
is the scam. And if you're still waiting for

00:00:50.810 --> 00:00:53.530
a sign to go full corn, this is it. Buckle up.

00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:57.310
Bitcoin Pizza Day hits $111 ,000. On May 22,

00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:01.170
2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history paying $10

00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:04.849
,000 BTC for two pizzas. Today, that pile of

00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:08.010
pizza money is worth over $1 .1 billion. Why

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:10.950
does that matter? Because today, Bitcoin punched

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:14.930
through $111 ,000, a new all -time high, on the

00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:17.469
anniversary of the most legendary meme in Bitcoin

00:01:17.469 --> 00:01:20.469
culture. As Santiment noted, a surge in positive

00:01:20.469 --> 00:01:22.930
sentiment accompanied this move, which typically

00:01:22.930 --> 00:01:26.090
precedes short -term pullbacks. But with ETF

00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:29.010
inflows exploding and the macro environment deteriorating,

00:01:29.390 --> 00:01:32.129
the corn might just keep cooking. Value for value

00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:34.370
shout out. If you've stacked any say tees or

00:01:34.370 --> 00:01:36.450
earned your first zap today, this milestone is

00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:47.170
yours, too. SB21, has officially passed and is

00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:49.609
heading to Governor Greg Abbott's desk. This

00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:52.290
means Texas may soon become the first U .S. state

00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:54.950
to directly custody Bitcoin in its treasury.

00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:58.230
As Senator Lummis said earlier this week, Americans

00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:00.629
are ready to replenish U .S. reserves with Bitcoin.

00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:07.159
Looks like Texas is leading the way. Bitcoin

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.460
now fifth largest asset on earth. Just in, Bitcoin

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:13.159
has overtaken both Amazon and Google to become

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.780
the fifth largest asset by market cap globally.

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.159
With BTC's market cap now surpassing $2 .2 trillion,

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:24.219
only gold, Apple, Microsoft, and Saudi Aramco

00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:27.479
stand ahead. Let that sink in. Bitcoin is now

00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.900
bigger than Jeff Bezos and Larry Page. What's

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:33.360
next? You guessed it, Apple's $3 trillion crown.

00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.419
Michael Saylor. Bitcoin is the best asset you

00:02:36.419 --> 00:02:38.840
can own. Michael Saylor released a new video

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.020
today that's already being called his best Bitcoin

00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:43.379
sermon to date. If you want to outperform, you

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:47.400
need Bitcoin. He's not wrong. Strategy, MicroStrategy,

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:51.740
now holds 214 ,400 BTC and is sitting on $22

00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:55.020
.5 billion in unrealized gains. That makes it

00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:56.879
the single most successful corporate treasury

00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.159
strategy in history. Eat your heart out, Jamie

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.919
Dimon. Global Bitcoin treasury cycle intensifies.

00:03:02.810 --> 00:03:05.669
the tech company known for battery safety, added

00:03:05.669 --> 00:03:09.069
$1 .9 million in Bitcoin to its books, raising

00:03:09.069 --> 00:03:13.590
holdings to 800 BTC with a 220 % year -to -date

00:03:13.590 --> 00:03:16.969
yield. MetaPlanet is going parabolic in Japan.

00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:19.610
French firm The Blockchain Group just raised

00:03:19.610 --> 00:03:23.710
8 .6 euros million to buy more Bitcoin. Indonesian

00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:27.789
Fintech. DigiAsia's stock popped $1 .90 % after

00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:31.009
announcing a $100 million Bitcoin treasury plan.

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.659
The message? Bitcoin is the asset of the decade,

00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:36.439
and the corporate world is taking notice. Second,

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.139
regulation by enforcement is over. In a bombshell

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:41.580
statement, SEC Chair Paul Atkins declared that

00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:44.240
the era of regulation by enforcement is over.

00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.060
Instead, he emphasized the need for America to

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:49.539
lead the global Bitcoin race, not suppress it.

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:52.099
Crypto -friendly regulation is becoming the norm,

00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:55.159
not the exception. We're entering the post -Gensler

00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.810
era, and that's bullish for the corn. 116 ,000

00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:02.729
BTC leave exchanges. Over the last 30 days, 116

00:04:02.729 --> 00:04:06.930
,293 Bitcoin have exited centralized exchanges.

00:04:07.650 --> 00:04:10.409
That's $12 .9 billion worth of corn heading into

00:04:10.409 --> 00:04:14.129
cold storage. Exchange inflows are down 82 %

00:04:14.129 --> 00:04:16.949
since November, signaling long -term conviction

00:04:16.949 --> 00:04:19.389
and tighter supply. We're in a supply squeeze,

00:04:19.430 --> 00:04:22.069
folks, and that's before the next ETF wave hits.

00:04:22.689 --> 00:04:26.139
ETF mania, 609 inflows in a single day. Bitcoin

00:04:26.139 --> 00:04:30.319
ETF inflows are on fire. On May 21 alone, US

00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.500
spot ETFs saw $609 million in net inflows, with

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:39.680
BlackRock's IBT buying 4 ,970 BTC worth $530

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.800
.6M. That's more than all the BTC mined this

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.019
month. BlackRock now holds 643 ,974 BTC, second

00:04:48.019 --> 00:04:51.300
only to Satoshi. Opt out of the madness. Fiat

00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:54.800
currency is the scam. Bitcoin is the exit. That's

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.300
the message going viral today as more Americans

00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:00.379
now own Bitcoin than gold. Searches for Bitcoin

00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:02.959
are exploding on Google, and Senator Cynthia

00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.339
Lummis posted an infographic showing four in

00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:07.699
five Americans would convert U .S. gold reserves

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:10.800
