Welcome back to the Bitcoin Street Journal podcast.
I'm your host, Anna, reporting live from the
only corner where the blocks are hard, the signal
is sovereign, and the fiat melts in real time.
Let's get into it. Bitcoin price check. Right
now, Bitcoin is trading at $105 ,670. That's
105 ,670 USD, folks. Market dominance is at a
rock solid 60 .4%. Bitcoin's grip on the crypto
market hasn't been this strong since the pre
-ETF era. halving pressures remain in effect,
with block rewards locked in at 3 .125 BTC. If
you thought Bitcoin's scarcity was already legendary,
the post -halving landscape is rewriting the
book. Over the past 20 days, long -term holders
have added more than 300 ,000 Bitcoin to their
stacks, while spending activity has cratered
to its lowest level since last September. Translation,
the diamond hands are tightening their grip and
that means fewer coins for anyone late to the
party. Breaking strategy buys another 4020 BTC.
Michael Saylor's Bitcoin behemoth strategy just
acquired another 4020 Bitcoin for $427 million.
This brings their total to an eye -watering 580
,250 BTC. That's 2 .7 % of the total circulating
supply now in the hands of one company. If Saylor
was bullish before, He's absolutely turbocharged
now. As he said this week, I only buy Bitcoin
with money I can't afford to lose. That's maximalism
you can bank on. Florida goes full Bitcoiner.
In a legislative bombshell, Florida is proposing
the elimination of capital gains tax on Bitcoin.
If passed, it would make Florida the first US
state to offer this level of crypto freedom.
Imagine being able to stack SATs, transact and
realize gains without the IRS tailing your every
move. Bitcoin Beach may be moving stateside.
If you're in the Sunshine State, keep your eyes
on Tallahassee. Bitcoin 2025, the world's largest
Bitcoin conference, starts now. Bitcoin 2025
has officially kicked off. From keynote speeches
to pleb meetups, the event is the beating heart
of the Bitcoin movement. If you're not there
in person, you can still join the signal online.

Nostra is the street, and it's sovereign. Standard
Chartered forecast liftoff. Banking giant Standard
Chartered just dropped a monster price prediction.
Bitcoin to hit 200 ,000 by 2025, 300 ,000 by
2026, 400 ,000 in 2027, and half a million by
2028. These aren't crypto bros on Twitter. These
are suits and ties finally catching up with the
plebs. Even Rosenblatt Securities is forecasting
new all -time highs beyond 110 ,000. Sovereigns
and public companies keep buying the dip. DDC
Enterprise, a Hong Kong -based company listed
on the NYSE, just bought 21 Bitcoin as part of
their 5 ,000 BTC acquisition plan. Over in Japan,
Remixpoint announced plans to purchase an additional
$1 billion worth of Bitcoin. Sovereigns, institutions,
and corporations are securing their slices of
the finite pie. Are you? Sovereign signal Liz
Truss gets it. Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss
recently stated that Bitcoin takes power away
from governments. Once a fringe viewpoint, this
is now a bipartisan cross -border realization.
Bitcoin isn't just digital gold. It's political
gold. Jamie Dimon bends the knee. In a surprising
twist, JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon, who once likened
Bitcoin to tulips, is now defending your right
to buy it. I defend your right to buy Bitcoin,
he said. Cheers, Jamie. We were doing it anyway.

Market watch shorts and trouble. Over $8 .5 billion
in short positions are on the verge of liquidation
at the $115 ,000 level. That's less than $6 ,000
away. If you thought 2021's short squeeze was
bad, the next one could melt faces and fiat.
Japan's MetaPlanet now holds over 5 ,000 Bitcoin
and maintains a BTC to liability ratio so strong
that its bonds would remain solvent even if Bitcoin
dropped to $2 ,000. That's next level resilience,
folks. On the altcoin front, projects like Grass
and Meteora are seeing sharp upward momentum.
Meanwhile, Solana Memocoins are popping 45 %
after rumors of a Nickelodeon partnership. Imagine
that. SpongeBob stacking sats. Quick hits. Marathon
Digital reports record -breaking mining revenue.
Thailand approves crypto credit cards for tourists.
Injective crosses 2 billion transactions. Circle
denies merger rumors. Elon Musk launches beta
for X money. Sui commits 10 million to post hack
security upgrades. Pleb shout outs. To Michael
Saylor for stacking like a sovereign. To Liz
Truss for speaking truth to power. To every pleb
listening for staying in the fight and holding
the line. To Peter Schiff, the rocket is boarding,
you still have time. Value for value call out.
