This is the biggest % fall in a single week for Bitcoin since the collapse of FTX.
The FTX fraud marked the bottom of the bear market in November 2022.
This time? 🤔
NEW: Sen. Sullivan and Sen. Lummis lead letter to the Fed, FDIC and OCC, calling for revaluation of Basel’s risk weighting for Bitcoin and digital assets.
“A 1,250% risk weight bypasses those calibrated frameworks entirely, applying a blunt penalty …to a transparent, globally traded asset with deep derivatives markets, continuous liquidity, and cryptographic auditability.”
This is a strong signal from Washington that legislators are looking closely at this issue as work on market structure continues. The letter has 6 signatories and 3 are on the Banking Committee.
It’s also great to see BPI’s brief on this topic cited in the third footnote! 😉
We’ll keep you posted on further updates.
LATEST: More than half of all $BTC in circulation is now held at an unrealized loss, a signal that has coincided with every major bear market bottom in history.
Bitcoin is at a historically optimal level to go out the risk curve to the maximal degree.
Strive ($ASST) has 62% amplification, an 18-month dividend reserve on $SATA, and zero encumbered $BTC.
We could literally do nothing & not have to sell a single Bitcoin until the end of 2027.
Have a great day and be greedy when others are fearful.
Capital markets are funding the AI buildout at historic scale: ~$400B over 6 months. Bitcoin ETFs have seen ~$4B of outflows since May 14, pressuring $BTC. This is a capital rotation, not a Bitcoin impairment. Volatility creates opportunity.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells lawmakers he looks forward to collaborating on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
"We are proceeding with all deliberate speed... making sure we use best practices and things will be durable for the future."
Everybody wants to buy the dip until it's time to buy the dip.
You don't end up on the receiving end of the greatest wealth transfer in human history by believing what everyone already believes.
You get there through proof of work and conviction when everyone else doubts.
JUST IN: Strive $ASST CEO Matt Cole (@ColeMacro) said, "#Bitcoin could go to one penny tomorrow and we don’t blow up. We don’t have encumbered BTC."
A debt-free balance sheet amplified by preferred equities takes liquidation risk off the table. 🔥
When I truly understood this next fact, it broke my brain:
The largest heist in world history is happening right under your nose.
The theft? All your productivity gains.
Think about it:
1. You're 10x more productive than your grandfather
2. Technology should have made you 10x wealthier
3. Instead, you're working harder for less
Where did the wealth go?
Every breakthrough that should have enriched YOU:
Electrification → Stolen
Automobiles → Stolen
Computers → Stolen
Internet → Stolen
The method: Currency debasement.
They print money. Your purchasing power disappears.
Your productivity gains flow to them.
This isn't economics.
This is organized theft.
Bitcoin fixes this
NVIDIA $NVDA CEO JENSEN HUANG ON WHAT BITCOIN ACTUALLY IS 👀
"What Bitcoin is doing is taking excess energy and storing it into a new form.
It's called currency. You take that currency and take it wherever you like."

"You took energy from one place and transported it everywhere."
The CEO of the world's most valuable semiconductor company just described Bitcoin as stored energy in portable form.
