So overall rec city for the past month and checking out the crypto greed and fear index yesterday we were down to extreme fear of a 20. Today we bounced a little, we're a 24.

And trading firm QCP added Trump's apparent indifference to recession risk made life harder for risk assets, but acknowledged that some of the silver linings, or yeah, they have remained, quoting them here. Despite the market turmoil, not all signals are bearish. This wave of risk off sentiment has driven 10 year treasury yields down by around 60bps and the weekend weaken of the US dollar, a historically positive factor for the US denominated risk assets like US equities and crypto. The bitcoin Price analysis saw bitcoin at a crossroads mid lackluster clear upside catalysts. According to the Elliott wave theory the dealer key support resistance levels are warning that the price could still have new long term lows. Quoting analysts here, the price is still undecided after the New York open. A bottom could be forming but another low is possible as long as resistance holds. Hence why it's astrology for the Brosies nobody really knows and your guess is as good as this analyst's guess. I'm just pointing out the obvious. Brosis might as well just flip a coin.

You guys let me know your now let's continue with some of the headlines. What's happening? Headline here reads US Stablecoin Bill gets updated out of the Senate Banking Group vote that is right U. S. Senate Banking Committee has had to vote on a revolving stablecoin framework bill on March 13, which means this Thursday after was updated following a consultation with committee Dems. GOP Senator Bill Hagerty, one of the bill's co sponsors, said March 10 he introduced an update of the guiding and establishing national innovation of the U S Stable coins with the acronym GENIUS act, which would go to a Banking Committee vote in two days. He added that the updated bill saw bipartisan consultation. The bill is co sponsored by Republican Senator the one and only Cynthia Le Miss and Tim Scott, who's also the Chair of the Banking Committee along with Democrats Kirsten Gillibrand and Angela also Brooks. The updated version of the Genius act makes significant improvements to a number of important provisions, including consumer protections, authorized stablecoin issuers, risk mitigation stakeholders, state pathways, insolvency, transparency and more. Hagerty first introduced the bill early February. It aims to bring issuers of the US dollar stables with market caps of over 10 billion, which currently only tether and circle under Federal Reserve regulations qualify for. Those under 10 billion could opt into the state level regulation. Web3 Learning app co founder Dom Quack what a name. Damquat said on X at the latest version of the Genius act shared on Fox Report. Eleanor Teret gives the US Issues stablecoins a competitive advantage I don't know about.

The added that the bill now holds foreign stablecoin issuers to extra high standards in areas such as reserve and liquidity requirements, money laundering checks and sanction checks. Most foreign issuers will find these standards hard to meet, which gives Circles USDC and Ripple Labs Ripple USD the upper hand. Meanwhile, crypto lawyer and Hogan and Hogan partner Jeremy Hogan came to the same conclusion, saying the bill's requirements, particularly around reserves and anti money laundering checks, all fall neatly for the USDC and Ripple stablecoin. I mean the Genius act still has a way to go before becoming law. The Senate Banking Committee will have to vote to pass the bill and it will be put to a full Senate floor vote where it can be debated. If it passes Senate, it will head to the House. If the House doesn't change the bill, it'll be sent to President Trump to sign into law or veto. And what do you think's made out of that? Let's continue with the news. Next headline regarding the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The headline reads Texas set to create the first state run Bitcoin and Crypto Reserve after passage of the Senate Bill 21. That's a blackjack baby. Texas can become the first state to have the strategic Bitcoin reserve, maybe potentially before Utah, following the passage of the new bill that allows it to invest in and manage crypto assets. On Thursday, the Texas Senate voted 25 to 5 to pass the Senate Bill 21 or the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Investment Act. The legislation seeks to establish the Texas Bitcoin Reserve for the Lone Star State or a special fund outside the state treasury that stockpiles thy bitty as well as other cryptocurrencies with a market cap of at least least 500 billion. I don't know if any other cryptocurrency qualifies except Bitcoin, but take that the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve serves the public purpose of providing enhanced financial security to residents of this state and providing a mechanism to receive donations. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If the bill is signed into law, the State comptroller would have custody of the managed and crypto reserve and would have the authority to acquire exchanges sell digital assets. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says he wants to make the state the epic center for the Americans digital future. Quoting him here, President Trump has stated unequivocally that he intends to make the United States the crypto capital of the world. His visionary leadership on bitcoin and digital assets have paved the way for the rapid American innovation and Texas is leading the way. I promise to make a Texas Bitcoin Reserve priority to solidify Texas leadership of the digital age. Today, Texas Senate delivered on that promise by passing the SB21 with both the Republican and Democrat votes to create the Texas Bitcoin Reserve. Some have called Bitcoin digital gold, and I believe its limited supply and decentralized nature makes it a critical asset for Texas's future. So with that Senate's approval, SB21 will now move to the Texas House of Representatives where it must pass before common law. Let me know which state you think will get the strategic book Bitcoin Reserve pass first. Will it be Utah? Will it be Texas? Holl at your boy. All right, next story of the day. Let's discuss the custodians here. Cantor Fitzgerald taps Anchorage Digital Copper as their Bitcoin custodians. That's right, investment banking giant worth billions. Cantor Fitzgerald selected Anchorage Digital and Copper as its bitcoin custodians and collateral managers as it launches its new digital asset financing business targeting institutional investors. The announcement came March 11, which is today. Cantor Fitzgerald said it is rolling out as bitcoin financing business with $2 billion in initial capital to help the institutional investors borrow against their crypto holdings. Anchorage Digital and Copper will safeguard clients digital assets by acting as custodians and collateral managers, according to the company. Well, that's cool. At least it's not Coinbase, because Coinbase is the custodian for like, you know, I mean, I think Grayscale, BlackRock, all the major asset managers, minus Fidelity, who does self custody on their own. But anchor is Digital is an institutional crypto platform that operates the only federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S. good to note, Copper is a crypto custodian backed by Barclays, the British multinational financial institution. The Copper CEO said Canter Fitzgerald's new offering will help the institutional investors diversify their portfolios into digital assets. He cited the growing demand for sophisticated financing solutions in the bitty space. Can Gerald unveils plans for his bitcoin financing business in July of last year to provide leverage to investors who hold bitcoin. And since then, the company brought in its exposure to the digital asset market, including acquiring a 5% stake in issuer Tether, the major stablecoin provider.

And their CEO I think former CEO I think he stepped down when he accepted the role as the Commerce Secretary for Trump for the United States. But Howard Lutnick says he has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin exposure and he's just getting started now the successful launch of the US spot Bitcoin ETFs more than a year ago, which was the actual launch was January 11th of last year to be exact. Act revealed the huge pent up demand for the biddy institutional investors and by February Bitcoin exchange reserves have fallen by more than two year lows. Supply shock income and despite the recent market sell off that was triggered by the U S led tariff war and recession fears, institutional Bitcoin investments continue to grow with more Wall street firms moving into the custody business. And as Forbes reported, City and State street are planning to offer crypto custody services by next year. And a separate Bloomberg report revealed that German exchange Deutsche, which I mentioned earlier, Deutsche Bors is planning to launch Bitcoin and ether custody beginning next month and it's a 1.3 trillion dollar company. This is pretty big deal. The game theory continues around the world. Headline here reads Senator Lummis reintroduces the bitcoin act proposing 1 million bitcoin purchase. There she is right there in rare form. Super Saiyan Bitcoin Super Saiyan Bitcoin Super Saiyan So yeah, here are a couple of the key takeaways. Senator Lummis announces developments on the U S Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and President Trump signed the executive order which we all know for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve managing the seized assets. Senator Lummis reintroduced the Bitcoin act today while attending the Bitcoin focused conference hosted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute. The event also featured the Gigachad, Michael Sailor and Vivek Ramsawani. And you can see Senator Lummis posted here the Bitcoin act is back and quoting what the act says today. I'm proud to reintroduce landmark legislation that will codify President Trump's bold vision to establish the U S Strategic Reserve for Bitcoin, strengthening our nation's economic foundation for generations to come. Bitcoin is not simply a technological opportunity, but a national imperative for America's continued financial leadership in the 21st century. By transportation transforming the President's visionary executive action into enduring law, we can ensure our nation will harness the full potential of digital innovation to address our national debt while maintaining our competitive edge in the global economy. Together, we are not just adapting to the future, we're actively shaping it, writing the next chapter in America's proud history of financial innovation and securing the lasting prosperity for all of our citizens. Very powerful words there from Senator Lummis and head of the announcement. Lummis shared a short video about the Bitcoin reserve hype stating big things are a coming and that she is for real this time. I guess she was for fake last time H but there's a video she posted on her X account as you can see. Senator first unveiled the bill, as you know, at the big Bitcoin conference in July 2024 Nashville, but failed to advance it due to the limited bipartisan support and skepticism about its feasibility. It effectively died at the end of 2024's congressional session. Bills that do not pass during a Congressional session must be introduced the next session in order to remain active. Under the proposed legislation, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve overseen by the treasury would utilize secure and decentralized storage across the U. S incorporating measures for forks and airdrops with a five year retention period. The bill introduces a Bitcoin purchasing program aimed at acquiring up to 1 million BTC over five years. That's only 200000 Bitcoin per year. Extremely bearish Cynthia where the Gigachad is purchasing two in Bitcoin this week, you can't let Michael Sailor outpace the United States of America. Kenya with holdings maintained for at least 20 years, why so bearish? Only a 20 year huddle strategy. It should be a minimal of 100 years. Cynthia Transparency to be insured through independent proof of reserve audits. The legislation also permits states to store Bitcoin and segregated accounts and includes cost offset measures to cover the expenses. The act designates the first 6 billion of annual Fed remittances from 2025 to 2020 for the Bitcoin purchase program. Lummis's announcement follows President Trump's executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve which was issued last week. The order does not involve a new government acquisition of Bitcoin but instead formalizes policies for managing seized assets. So ultimately hackers steal crypto from people like you. Then the government steals it from the hackers and they put it in the strategic bitcoin reserve. You can't make this up up broskis. And according to David Bailey, the CEO of bitcoin magazine, Trump's executive order is the first step. The next step is to push for legislation in congress to solidify the creation of the strategic bitcoin reserve. Quoting Bailey here. What people are missing about the strategic bitcoin reserve is that it is not implemented only via executive action or via legislation. We want both.

The executive action clears the political lane and tells the congress this is a priority. It's time for the bitcoin act. Couldn't agree more Broskis. And as you can see also breaking news, u. S Congressman Nick introduces strategic bitcoin reserve legislation in the house today to buy the 1 million of the biddy. The bill already has six co sponsors and if you don't know now, you know Broskis. Now for our featured story of the day. Michael Saylor presents that If America buys 5.5 million bitcoin it will be worth a hundred six trillion dollars. He also doubles down during the market crash announcing a 21 billion dollar stock sale to buy more bitcoin. That's right. So first and foremost shout out to the gigachad. And here's a recent tweet. We purchased 78 of the United States for $40 million. America should buy bitcoin. And here's the historic presidents for the strategic bitcoin reserve. Manhattan in 1626 the payoff was 2.1 trillion dollars. Louisiana in 1803 the payoff was 12 trillion. California in 1848 the payoff was 8 trillion. In Alaska, 1867. Oh my apologies. The prices were way smaller. The payoff with the interest rate, I'm hitting you with those numbers. The payoff was 1 trillion. But you can see Alaska in 1867 only cost America 7 7.2 million. I guess that was the purchase price. California was 18 million in 1848 and Louisiana only 15 million in 1803. And whatever a gilder is, I don't even know. But back in 1626 the price was only 60 gilders for all of Manhattan. So there you have it. And that's coming directly from Mikey Sailor. And as you can see, uh, very bullish. And also Congressman Nick introduced the strategic bitcoin reserve legislation in the house today to buy 1 million bitcoin. And that bill already has six co sponsors. And also the breaking news we already touched upon. Senator Lummis reintroduces the Bitcoin act proposing the 1 million Bitcoin purchase. But let's dive deeper into this recent 21 billion dollar Bitcoin purchase announcement which is virtually like 250000 Bitcoin in a single swoop. That's right. Strategy's executive chair Mikey Sailor unveiled an ambitious plan to Bol Co. Is already boisterous Bitcoin holdings. In a new post on X, Sailor said that strategy, formerly known as micro Strategy is selling $21 billion in preferred STRK stock to snatch up more of the bitties. The announcement comes amid a turbulent market with The Bitcoin prices down 17% in the last month alongside a significant stock market correction. According to the announcement, the funds will be allocated for general corporate purposes including acquiring additional bitcoin Strategy already the largest public public corporate Hodler The Biddy currently owns 499000 Bitcoin valued at just above $41 billion. Strategy says the stock sale part of the Strategy 2021 plan aims to raise capital through the issuance of 8% Series A perpetual strike preferred stock. The issuance of perpetual prefer stock will allow Strategy to raise significant capital without committing to a repayment timeline as these shares lack a maturity date. And while speaking at the conservative political action conference this week, Strategy executive chair argued that bitcoin was digital property and an important tool for the United States to own cyberspace in the future. According to Gigachad here, right now you can literally buy it for a song and dance. That's the opportunity. They not like us. The risk is that you wouldn't want the Saudis to buy it first, would you? Or the Russians. Are those dirty little Chinese? All right, I'm paraphrasing here. Or the Europeans. And there's only room for One Nation State to buy up to 20% of the network. And obviously I think it should be the United States. I think it will be the United States. It is a way for us to enrich ourselves and emerge as a creditor nation in a matter of a decade. It's also a way for us to ensure we're the economic leaders in cyberspace. And he also released a 38 page report on why the United States should acquire anywhere from 5 to 25% of the Bitcoin supply and also point out that 5.5 million is just north of 25% of the Bitcoin supply, which would help the United States of America raise 106 trillion. So if we're looking to get rid of that 37 trillion debt, easy peasy, we can do that by a milestone following the plan of Michael Sailor. But the million dollar question becomes do you think the United States, the Trumpster and his administration will follow the proposal and purchase up anywhere from 5% with Cynthia Lummis is proposing 1 million Bitcoin to as high as 25% plus, which is what the Gigachad is proposing.

Conditions apply to potentially raise $106 trillion. Let me know your thoughts. And how do you think that would likely impact the bitcoin price? I dare say if America came out with an announcement announcement to purchase 5.5 million bitcoin. It's going to create a extreme urgency in the bitcoin game theory and global hash wars as nation states are, in my humble opinion, already behind closed doors accumulating bitcoin as the race continues. But I think that will accelerate things and that could easily send bitcoin. You know, hyperbolic. I'm talking hyper bitcoinization style, super cycle multi millions of dollars per coin, potentially this cycle if we got that form of an announcement officially from Trump and his administration. But right now it's all speculation. So let me know your thoughts. I just think it's cool that the man with the orange tie is making these proposals for the rest of the world to see.
