WEBVTT 00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:24.399 Bitcoin dominance, institutional frenzy, and 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.239 the road to $500K. Welcome back to the Bitcoin 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.550 Street Journal podcast. I'm your host Anna, broadcasting 00:00:30.550 --> 00:00:33.210 from the corner of signal and sovereignty, where 00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:36.329 the fiat empire gets no love and the blocks never 00:00:36.329 --> 00:00:38.850 lie. Let's dive straight into the price check. 00:00:39.509 --> 00:00:41.909 As of this moment, Bitcoin is holding firm at 00:00:41.909 --> 00:00:47.329 $109 ,670. Market dominance is climbing, currently 00:00:47.329 --> 00:00:51.490 at 62 .4%. And with post -having scarcity now 00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:54.210 kicking in, the issuance of new Bitcoin remains 00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:58.439 locked at 3 .125 BTC per block. That's not just 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.219 scarcity. That's digital gold in slow motion. 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.619 Halving and hodling the calm before the storm. 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.879 New blocks are slow, new coins are slower, and 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.540 conviction is sky high. In the last three weeks 00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:12.060 alone, long -term Bitcoin holders have added 00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:15.200 over 300 ,000 coins to their wallets. And here's 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.780 the kicker. Spending by this group has dropped 00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:20.640 to its lowest point since September of last year. 00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:24.409 Translation? These aren't panic sellers. These 00:01:24.409 --> 00:01:26.829 are battle -hardened hodlers who understand what's 00:01:26.829 --> 00:01:31.269 coming. You guessed it, Michael Saylor is back 00:01:31.269 --> 00:01:34.650 in the headlines. His company, Strategy, has 00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:37.450 just bought another 4 ,020 Bitcoin for a cool 00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:41.349 $427 million. That pushes their total holdings 00:01:41.349 --> 00:01:47.129 to 580 ,250 Bitcoin, around 2 .7 % of all Bitcoin 00:01:47.129 --> 00:01:49.670 that will ever exist. If you're wondering who's 00:01:49.670 --> 00:01:52.670 buying the dip, it's not your cousin Chad. It's 00:01:52.670 --> 00:01:55.310 Michael Bitcoin is Hope sailor playing chess 00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:57.890 while everyone else is playing checkers. He even 00:01:57.890 --> 00:01:59.890 dropped another Mike worthy quote this week. 00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:02.209 I only buy Bitcoin with money I can't afford 00:02:02.209 --> 00:02:06.349 to lose. Philosophical? Maybe. Accurate? Definitely. 00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:09.050 The man is stacking sovereign digital property 00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:11.569 like it's water in a desert. Florida's Bitcoin 00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:14.590 tax revolution. Big moves from the Sunshine State. 00:02:14.830 --> 00:02:17.509 Florida has just proposed eliminating capital 00:02:17.509 --> 00:02:21.229 gains taxes on Bitcoin. If this legislation passes, 00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:23.770 Florida will become the first U .S. state to 00:02:23.770 --> 00:02:27.389 officially let you stack SATs without the IRS 00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:30.069 breathing down your neck. That's not just bullish. 00:02:30.530 --> 00:02:33.449 That's jurisdictional competition. In plain terms, 00:02:33.889 --> 00:02:36.270 Bitcoin Beach may be heading inland.
