More issuers can give fund managers better choice, but differentiation will come down to execution, liquidity, and transparency.

Positive-sum if it brings more capital into BTC, not just shuffles it around.

Strategy $MSTR has built more capital in six years than Lloyd’s of London, an insurance market that has been building capital for roughly 300 years. Jeff puts the scale into perspective: - Strategy currently has ~$8B more capital than Lloyd’s - If Bitcoin bitcoin:native returns to its all-time high: ~$125B-$150B balance sheet - Total reinsurance market risk capital: ~$800B - One company could represent a significant share of that entire market “You’re thinking about a company with potentially the largest liquid treasury on the planet very quickly.” - Jeff Walton

NATO’s Chief Rutte: "Let me start with a little football analogy: No team wins because of one brilliant player. You need the goalkeeper, you need the defenders, the midfielders, the strikers. And yes, everyone notices the player who scores the winning goal. But behind every successful player and team out on the pitch, there are many others on the bench and behind the scenes. Everyone matters. No one wins alone. NATO is much the same." The perefect time to say this. Writer: Samuel

The short-term government shutdown debate is a joke: Everyone gets backpay. Everything goes back to normal, with a little more funding and a slightly bigger government. The administrative state wins every time. We should be talking about how to *achieve* a real government shutdown. We see the same theatrics every few months because the GOP refuses to do what I’ve pledged to accomplish: *shut down* the administrative state for good. 🇺🇸

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says Googlebot sees 3.2x more of the web than OpenAI, and 4.8x more than Microsoft. And he worries this advantage will allow Google to run away with the AI race, with no one else being able to catch them. "For every one page that OpenAI sees, Google is seeing 3.2." "What I worry about is, because Google has this unique access to the web that nobody else has, the game might just go to them. Because at the end of the day, whoever has the most data wins in the era of AI."

Most people think about Bitcoin treasury companies incorrectly Here is why I think they are good for Bitcoin & why they are misunderstood: 1) Treasury companies are capitalizing the Bitcoin industry for a century to come 2) They are future Bitcoin Banks 3) However, they are developing in the reverse order compared to everything else - monetization first and then later on core business activities -- Bitcoin has traditionally received $1 for every $100 in funds that Crypto took in - it has historically been challenging to raise money for Bitcoin focused businesses. My view is that Treasury companies are changing this, and while the first phase will simply be acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible - they will later need to ensure the value of Bitcoin grows and find ways to use BTC as capital in a larger marketplace. These firms will become the future Bitcoin Banks and also Bitcoin conglomerates. In this exact moment in time the best use of capital is simply buying Bitcoin. It's hard to meaningfully outperform BTC, and as such all these businesses will do for a while is acquire BTC. But eventually that shifts, and these firms will see more incentive to both grow and deploy Bitcoin. They then will provide capital which, among other things, supports Bitcoin businesses and projects. Many people struggle to contextualize the current "land rush" phase with what will come later. You need to take a longer view to understand these firms. The order of operations is also reversed here. Typically you build a business or technology and then as a final step monetize it via an IPO. With Bitcoin, stage 1 is looking more like direct monetization prior to creating value via products, etc. This is deeply counter intuitive to many people in traditional finance, and also to many Bitcoiners. However, because Bitcoin is primarily money at a base level it makes sense the developmental path it is taking differs significantly from other tech. The amount of time it will take for other investors to understand this presents an opportunity for those who see it sooner. More thoughts below 👇

🚨 MICHAEL SAYLOR IS ABOUT TO SELL BITCOIN 🚨 And it's much worse for the market than you think. Let me explain Saylor built the most aggressive Bitcoin accumulation machine in corporate history The model was simple: 1. Raise capital 2. Buy BTC 3. Reinvest returns 4. Repeat Every dip was a buy. Every week a new purchase. 5 years straight BUT Then Q1 2026 happened BTC dropped from 87k to 68k in three months. Strategy posted a $12.54B loss But even that's not the real problem Here's the real problem To fund the machine, Saylor issued STRC - preferred stock paying investors 11.5% annual dividend $8.5 billion raised - all of it went into BTC The catch - dividends don't stop when Bitcoin drops Strategy now owes investors $1.2 billion every single year. Regardless of price So yesterday Saylor admitted it publicly The man who screamed "never sell your Bitcoin" on every podcast - may now sell Bitcoin In isolation, selling to cover dividends isn't catastrophic But the narrative just broke And once the narrative breaks, the damage is structural Here's how it plays out Every time BTC drops and stays low - Strategy sells more BTC to cover the $1.2B obligation Every sale pushes price down Lower price means more BTC needed to cover the same obligation Which means more and more selling Strategy holds 818,000 BTC - 3.9% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist At current prices, covering annual dividends alone requires selling roughly 15,500 BTC per year That's not a number the market quietly absorbs For 5 years Saylor was the floor under every dip Now he's potentially the ceiling June 8 - shareholder vote on dividends. Watch that date BTC doesn't like forced sellers. It never has NOTIFS ON!

🔥MSTR WILL BE MORE VALUABLE THAN APPLE - HERE'S WHY🔥 Apple built a $4 trillion consumer empire selling luxury rectangles to people who think blue text bubbles are a social caste system. Saylor looked at the same fiat world and said, “Cool. I’m going to turn Wall Street’s yield addiction into a Bitcoin acquisition machine.” In this video, we compare Apple and Strategy balance sheets, Apple’s cash, debt, buybacks, and services machine versus Strategy’s Bitcoin war chest, digital credit strategy, STRC engine, and the capital markets math that could eventually make MSTR one of the most valuable companies on Earth. Apple sells comfort. Strategy sells convexity. Saylor wins hands down. $MSTR $AAPL $BTC

$MSTR “My investment thesis is you buy technology companies that have a dominant place in their industry that are going to eat everything, and then you just wait.” - Michael Saylor If you embraced Saylor’s bet in 2020, sat through the volatility, and ignored the general advice along the way, you’ve achieved an annualized return most investors would dream of. Strategy despite two 70–80% drawdowns, has still compounded at 41% annually since adopting the Bitcoin Standard, outperforming Bitcoin itself over the same period. That bet started with 21,454 BTC acquired for $250 million. Today, it stands at 843,775 BTC, representing 4% of the entire Bitcoin network. If you believe Bitcoin remains the dominant monetary network, Strategy now owns roughly 20× more Bitcoin than the world’s second largest corporate holder. And while Bitcoin has spent much of this year under pressure, Strategy has still accumulated roughly 4× the entire treasury of the world’s second largest corporate holder, through its upgraded capital acquisition engine in $STRC I understand why Michael doesn’t spend much time asking for advice. Whether you agree with every decision or not, he’s spent six years executing one thesis with remarkable consistency. Mission Strategy. $BTC $MSTR $STRC

Kamilah breaks down why the bear case for ripple:native overlooks the mechanical problem it solves for global banking "Now, banks around the world have trillions of dollars sitting in these prefunded accounts in hundreds of countries all at the same time. meaning that the capital is trapped." "So instead of prefunding accounts in every currency in every country, a bank can hold XRP as a bridge. When they need to send dollars to the Philippines, XRP can convert dollars to XRP instantaneously and then XRP to Philippine pesos on the other side."
