@manecci @DMBGorgeCrew @davematthewsbnd Let me know what you find out!

Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.

It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.

The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”

Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.

The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.

IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT

President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. Those promises have been kept.

This Executive Order underscores President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

I want to thank the President for his leadership and vision in supporting this cutting-edge technology and for his rapid execution in supporting the digital asset industry. His administration is truly moving at “tech speed.”

I also want to thank the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets — especially Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — for their help and support in getting this done. Finally Bo Hines played a critical role as Executive Director of our Working Group.

Next up in the garage, Dave dives into the spiritual classic Bartender, a song that always feels like a prayer disguised as a plea. There’s a weight to it—something raw and reflective—that makes you pause and take stock of your own life. To me,

it serves as a cautionary tale, a reminder to prioritize what truly matters before it’s too late. Whether you believe in an afterlife or not, the song suggests that the choices we make now could echo beyond what we can see.

It’s both a confession and a question: Are we paying attention to the right things while we still have the time?

If you like bitcoin at $100,000, you’re going to love it at $1 million.

Journey performing ”Don't Stop Believin” in Houston, 1981.

Freddie Mercury was once asked, "What is it like to be the best singer in the world?"

His response was "I don't know, ask Steve Perry!"

This is one of the greatest songs ever composed.
