Bitcoin dominance, institutional frenzy, and
the road to $500K. Welcome back to the Bitcoin
Street Journal podcast. I'm your host Anna, broadcasting
from the corner of signal and sovereignty, where
the fiat empire gets no love and the blocks never
lie. Let's dive straight into the price check.
As of this moment, Bitcoin is holding firm at
$109 ,670. Market dominance is climbing, currently
at 62 .4%. And with post -having scarcity now
kicking in, the issuance of new Bitcoin remains
locked at 3 .125 BTC per block. That's not just
scarcity. That's digital gold in slow motion.
Halving and hodling the calm before the storm.
New blocks are slow, new coins are slower, and
conviction is sky high. In the last three weeks
alone, long -term Bitcoin holders have added
over 300 ,000 coins to their wallets. And here's
the kicker. Spending by this group has dropped
to its lowest point since September of last year.
Translation? These aren't panic sellers. These
are battle -hardened hodlers who understand what's
coming. You guessed it, Michael Saylor is back
in the headlines. His company, Strategy, has
just bought another 4 ,020 Bitcoin for a cool
$427 million. That pushes their total holdings
to 580 ,250 Bitcoin, around 2 .7 % of all Bitcoin
that will ever exist. If you're wondering who's
buying the dip, it's not your cousin Chad. It's
Michael Bitcoin is Hope sailor playing chess
while everyone else is playing checkers. He even
dropped another Mike worthy quote this week.
I only buy Bitcoin with money I can't afford
to lose. Philosophical? Maybe. Accurate? Definitely.
The man is stacking sovereign digital property
like it's water in a desert. Florida's Bitcoin
tax revolution. Big moves from the Sunshine State.
Florida has just proposed eliminating capital
gains taxes on Bitcoin. If this legislation passes,
Florida will become the first U .S. state to
officially let you stack SATs without the IRS
breathing down your neck. That's not just bullish.
That's jurisdictional competition. In plain terms,
Bitcoin Beach may be heading inland. Conference
season Bitcoin 2025 is here. This week marks
the start of the biggest Bitcoin event on the
planet, Bitcoin 2025. From plebs to presidents,
the energy is electric. Want the inside scoop?

It's where the real Bitcoin signal lives. We'll
be posting live takes, memes, and full conference
coverage you won't get anywhere else. Standard
Chartered predicts Bitcoin rocket ride. Standard
Chartered, the legacy finance giant that once
laughed at crypto, just published a jaw -dropping
Bitcoin forecast. 200 ,000 by 2025, 300k by 2026,
half a million by 2028. Even Rosenblatt securities
chimed in saying we're headed to fresh all -time
highs beyond $110 ,000. The floodgates are opening
and institutions are stampeding in. Global buying
spree, Remixpoint, DDC and more. Japan's Remixpoint
just announced a $1 billion Bitcoin buy. while
Hong Kong's DDC enterprise grabbed 21 BTC this
week as part of a 5 ,000 coin plan. The message
is clear. Governments, corporations, and international
whales are accumulating like it's the early days
all over again. The politicians are speaking.
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss made headlines
by saying Bitcoin takes power away from government.
That's the kind of statement that used to get
you cancelled. Now, it's just called telling
the truth. Even Bitcoin's longtime nemesis, Jamie
Dimon, had something new to say. While he was
defending, we were stacking. Here's the quote
you'll be hearing in memes all year. That's Bitcoin.

Short sellers beware the 115th liquidation cliff.
Right now, $8 .5 billion in Bitcoin shorts are
set to get wiped out at the $115 ,000 level.
With current prices creeping toward that number,
the trap is set. That's a lot of leverage about
to be melted down. If you thought the last rally
was spicy, wait until the shorts get sent to
the liquidation gulag. It's not just a chart
event. It's a volatility vortex waiting to suck
in anyone still stuck in fiat think. Let's talk
meta planet. With over 5 ,000 BTC on their balance
sheet and a capital structure so strong that
their bonds would be safe, even if Bitcoin dropped
to $2 ,000, MetaPlanet is playing for keeps.
Their Bitcoin NAV coverage ratio sits at 69 .2
forks. That's not just bullish. That's fortress
-grade finance. Altcoin watch, meme coins, Indigen
mania. Over in Degenland, Solana -based meme
coins just saw a 45 % pump on speculation that
Nickelodeon, yes, the kids' network, is working
with a coin team. Meanwhile, Meteora is raking
in the highest commissions on Solana Dapps, and
Grasse, Pendle, and E &A are leading the ROI
charts for the spring. Are we on the verge of
a full -blown alt season? Analysts say yes. Short
-term holder data shows NUPL, Net Unrealized
Profit Loss, creeping toward the 40 % threshold,
which historically signals explosive upside.
A top crypto analyst now pegs the next BTC target
at $162 ,000 in the short term. Don't blink.
