Bitcoin correcting some down a half a percent but maintaining just above 84, 000 at the live stream. XRP had like a 10 pump off the back of the news of the SEC ultimately retracting their appeal. So apparently they won according to you know, Brad Garlinghouse but it was only a 10 pump and today they're down 4%. Go figure. After a five year lawsuit. BNB is in the green barely. Tron in the green barely. But let's check out coinmarketcamp.com the current crypto market cap is sitting at 2.74 trillion. Bitcoin market cap 1.6 667 trillion.

Now for our astrology for the bros a little ta. I'll also be pulling up the charts Bitcoin price tags 2 week highs as the market bed big on the Trump crypto news. That's right here you're looking at a four hour chart. Bitcoin spiked to two week highs March 20amid rumors of the US government was preparing a major update to its crypto policy. Now I'll be sharing all the you know the details of what Trump actually announced at the recent crypto summit that was just taking place today. But anyways bitcoin currently consolidating near 86 bitcoin benefited from a fairly cool Fed meeting yesterday in which officials opted to hold interest rates at the current levels. After J Pal spoke Coke was pretty bullish for the markets. Policy makers confirm they envisage two cuts by the end of 2025. J. Pal described inflation as having ease significantly.
JV
Bunch of if you're asking me, but I mean, what do you expect? We do not need to be in.
Crypto Analyst
A hurry to adjust our policy stance and we are well positioned to wait.
JV
For the greater clarity, he shared in the opening statement before the press conference, which followed the rate decision. A wait and see approach was enough to relieve trouble risk assets, with bitcoin joining the U S stocks and surging and finishing the day higher. The S P ended up around 1%, up for the March 20 session, adding 500 billion to the market cap, a mere half a trillion. And we have Arthur Hayes, former CEO of Bitmex, suggesting the Fed delivered a key signal for traders Imagine what's possible.

Edu Tad Riss he also says he believes the bottom is in a 77, which is cool. He was one of the only analysts calling for us to visit in the 70s when we were like above 100, so he nailed it. Much respect to just Blaze Arthur Hayes, but J Pal delivered Qt is basically over. The next thing we need to get bold up for reals is either the SLR exemption and or a restart of QE. Was Bitcoin 77 the bottom? Probably, he says. But Stonks probably have more pain left to fully convert Jay to Team Trump to stay nimble and cashed up. And again, I'll be pulling up the live charts here shortly. Bitcoin traders nonetheless cared more about the potential change of the US Crypto posturing, as whispers suggested an announcement could come tomorrow, March 21. Quoting the Kabisi letter, this would be the first major update since March 6, when the National Crypto Reserve was established. Rumors state President Trump may be making a significant change to his strategy. When Trump signed the executive order to create the strategic Bitcoin reserve earlier in the month, market stayed surprisingly cool as it emerged that the plan would not necessarily involve the US Buying Bitcoin. However, the latest daily close above the key resistance trend Line calls for optimism returning quickly. Bitcoin only needs a rally of an additional 8% to position itself for the reclaim of the range above the end of the downside deviation. Is that a lot considering Bitcoin is up almost 13% since the last two week lows.
Crypto Analyst
Let's discuss some of the Bitcoin long term hodlers you should be able to.
JV
See on your screen here shortly. Right here. Yeah.
Crypto Analyst
Bitcoin long term hotter behavior shift signals unique market dynamic According to this latest research. I'll break down for you. Bitcoin's recovery comes as selling pressure amongst long term hudders, which are wallets that have held Bitcoin for at least 155.
JV
Days, begin to wane.
Crypto Analyst
The binary spending indicator, which is a metric used to determine when the long term huddlers are spending a significant proportion of their holdings in a sustained manner shows a slowdown while the long term huddler supply is also beginning to rebound after several months of decline. This suggests there is a greater willingness to hold than to spend coins and this perhaps represents a shift in sentiment with long term huddler behavior moving away from the sell side distribution.
JV
Now, despite Bitcoin's drawdown of the recent.
Crypto Analyst
Weeks, this investor cohort continues to hold a large portion of their profits, especially for this later stage of the cycle.
JV
Hence the smart money is the whales.
Crypto Analyst

Of less than six months are aggressively accumulating according to crypto quant. This signal strong conviction in Bitcoin's long term outlook amongst the new larger investors. These wallets have collectively acquired over 1 million Bitcoin since November of 2024, positioning themselves as one of the most influen participants. This sustained inflow highlights a shift in market dynamics suggesting increased institutional or high net worth participation. And I'd expect nothing less, especially after Trump just fully embraced Bitcoin all in and ultimately just announced as of today that together we will make Bitcoin or United States the Bitcoin superpower of the world. And we'll get into that here shortly. Kijung Hu Crypto Quan founder says expecting six to 12 months of bearish or sideways price action. So naturally there's mixed vibes amongst analysts. You guys let Me know if you feel will likely pump dump continue trading sideways for the rest of the month of March. Holla at your boy. But anyways, let's just get right into our next story regarding Pakistan. Headline caught my eyes. Pakistan eyes crypto legal framework to boost their foreign investment. That's right. Pakistan developing a legal framework for crypto in an effort to attract international investors to the Central Asian nation. Quoting their crypto council CEO, Pakistan is done sitting on the sidelines. We want to have regulatory clarity. We need to have a legal framework that is pro business. We want Pakistan as the leader of the blockchain powered finance and we want to attract international investment. 60 of the population is under 30 years old. We have a web3 native workforce ready to build. Well, let's send it. Earlier in the month he was named chief advisor of Pakistan's finance minister for the management of crypto.

Here's the latest next story of the day. Family Regarding Dubai, we just discussed Pakistan. This headline reads. Dubai Land Department Begins real Estate Tokenization Project the Dubai government started the pilot phase of a project to convert real estate assets into digital tokens on the blockchain. It's called the Dubai Land Department dld, the government entity responsible for registering, organizing, promoting Dubai real estate, announcing it started to pilot phase of its real estate tokenization project. The project was launched in collaboration with the Dubai Future foundation and Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, Dubai's crypto regulator.
JV
The token launch makes the DLD the first real estate registration entity in the UAE to implement tokenization on property title deeds.
Crypto Analyst
That's right.
JV
In the announcement, the DLD set in the initiative it's expected to drive growth in real estate tokenization. The government agency predicts the market value can reach over 16 billion by 2033. According to the agency.
Crypto Analyst
This represents 7% of Dubai total real.
JV
Estate transactions, dld Director General said in the announcement. Real estate tokenization drives a fundamental change in the sector. Quoting them here. By converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain tech, tokenization simplifies and enhances buying, selling and investment processes, the officials said. This aligns with the DLD's vision and become a global leader in real estate investment and use technology to develop innovative real estate products. Token Vest co founder and CEO Scott Thiel said the initiative is a transformative movement for the sector, quoting them here. The initiative not only reinforces Dubai's leadership in blockchain adoption, but also paves the way for the more inclusive, liquid and efficient real estate market. The executive, working in a VERA regulated RWA platform, shared that DLD's new project would open Dubai's real estate market to global pools of investors. Tokenization is no longer a concept, it's a reality that will open up Dubai's real estate market to a global pool of investors like never before. And previously, Thiel shared that the UAE's proactive regulations paved the way for the country's real world asset tokenization boom. The executive said there was a genuine desire from government agencies to develop clear guidelines for the sector.
Crypto Analyst
Let's move on to our next story. Here's the latest with Michael Saylor. Obviously mixed vibes. Some people think what Michael Saylor is doing is going to be a disaster. Others think it's the genius move of all time. So let's give you both sides and then we'll discuss the latest from Trump talking about United States will become the Bitcoin superpower of the world. So that's very powerful speech he just gave at the crypto summit. And then we'll do a little bit of live Q and A again. Welcome everyone. Just joining the live stream. So yeah, this is going to be looking at Michael Sailor from a different perspective here. Sailor's latest move to finance more bitcoin purchases reignited a debate over the viability of the high stakes approach, some saying.
JV
Too risky and dangerous.
Crypto Analyst
The company now call Strategy, formerly Micro Strategy announced the to the world it'll issue a new perpetual stock strife at.
JV
A 10% annual dividend.
Crypto Analyst
While some see this inventive way to accumulate more bitcoin, others warn the cash dividend obligations could become untenable if the bitcoin prices plummet. Strategy announced the creation of Strife, which is described as new perpetual stock offering available to institutional investors and select non institutional investors. In its statement, the company explained the.
JV
Proceeds would go towards general corporate purposes, including working capital and the acquisition of bitcoin.
Crypto Analyst
And let's just get right into Michael Saylor's little bullish quote right here.
JV
In a recent interview he's quoted saying, soon every billionaire will buy a billion dollars of bitcoin and the supply shock.
Crypto Analyst
Will be so great we'll stop measuring.
JV
BTC in terms of fiat. I'm looking forward to that day. How about you guys let me know. According to strategy, Strife carries cumulative dividends at 10 annually, with the first cash.
Crypto Analyst
Dividend scheduled for June 30, 2025, then each quarter thereafter. Observers quickly noted how such a high.
JV
Payout could strain the firm's resources given that its balance sheet is heavily tilted towards Bitcoin.
Crypto Analyst
That's right, they have roughly 500000 Bitcoin.
JV
On the balance sheet. And amongst the early critics was Whale Panda, co host of the Magical Crypto Friends with Ricardo Spaghagi, Samson Mountain Charlie lee. He argued a 10 dividend which could amount to 50 million in annual payouts if strategy raises 500 million is too large given the company's structure. I've said it before.

That Sailor is going to bring the next bitcoin bear market. This seems desperate. 10 dividend on 500 million translates to a 50 million annually payable solely in cash. They don't have the cash. Another vocal critic, Simon Dixon, an ex investment banker turned bitcoin investor known for backing platforms like Kraken, Bitfinex and Bisam, ultimately a Bitcoin OG drew sharp parallel between strategies bold move in the notorious collapse of Long Term Capital management in the late 90s 90s and although not equating the two scenarios outright, Dixon argued that offering such a high fixed dividend from insufficient dollar revenue resembled a next level risk. He cautioned sailors announcement of a perpetual 10 dividend paid in dollars despite lacking sufficient dollar revenue and operating with a Bitcoin based balance sheet is next level risk. This is starting to resemble As I just mentioned, not everyone shares the dire outlook. Some industry figures insist Sailor's track record is growing strategies, Bitcoin reserves and the relative simplicity of the balance sheet compared to LTCM offers a substantial cushion. David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin magazine, argues Sailor's personal commitment to Bitcoin should not be discounted. Sailor literally has more skin in the game than any human being alive and if you don't like the stock, don't buy it. Simple and plain. He referred to the critics as ungrateful, underscoring how sailors public advocacy and corporate purchases that brought mainstream attention and considerable inflows to Bitcoin. Bitcoin analyst Dylan LeClaire also dismissed the LTCM comparison, calling it literally nothing like LTCM and implying the strategy Bitcoin backed balance sheet does not pose the same systemic risk as a heavily leveraged hedge fund dealing in derivatives. And we also had Preston Push, co founder of the Investor Pod network offered a more nuanced take while he expressed reservations about the new issuance, questioning why Strategy didn't utilize the previous preferred issuance which has 8% dividend yield and OP optionally for payments in common cash. He viewed direct parallels to LTCM as over the top laughable pitch floated rough numbers suggesting even if Bitcoin were to tumble 70% from the current level, strategy could theoretically maintain dividend and coupon payments for more than a decade. As he shared here, if the price of Bitcoin went down 70 from here, which would mean Jesus, like what thirty.
Crypto Analyst
Thousand dollar Bitcoin, we still have twelve.
JV
Billion USD where the Bitcoin on the balance sheet and 115 million in annual CA payments that need to be paid. That's approximately twelve years worth of payment inventory on the balance sheet. Even with a 70% reduction in Bitcoin's value. Now, this math is extremely rough and I put about two minutes worth of effort into debunking this. So take it for what it's worth. But I think your claim is hyperbolic. But what are your guys's thoughts regarding a sailor making this bold move? Do you think it is irresponsible? Do you think it is stupid? Or do you think it's genius? They say there's a. There's a thin line between genius and. I'm making up this quote right now. There's a thin line between genius and idiocracy. There you have it.
Crypto Analyst
Now for our feature story of the day. President Trump just gave his speech at the Digital Asset Crypto Summit in New York. And here's some of the highlights of.
JV
What was discussed by the Trumpster.
Crypto Analyst
Very bullish, Obviously I quoted him from the speech. Together will make America the undisputed bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world. I repeat, Trump just said this morning, together we will make America the undisputed bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world. And if you didn't watch the speech again, it was less than three minutes. You can check it out here.
JV
2 minutes and 41 seconds.
Crypto Analyst
And my favorite quote I just read to you from it, Also reading some other quotes. My computer reset earlier, so it kind of messed me up. But President Trump executive order says we want as much bitcoin as we can possibly get. We view Bitcoin as being digital gold. So again, President Trump's executive director, as you can see here in your screen, this guy right here says we want as much bitcoin as we can possibly get because we view Bitcoin as being digital gold. Can you say bullish? Also want to pull up up some of the Max Geyser tweets regarding some of this stuff as well. My computer reset earlier during the stream, so it kind of messed me up a bit. I had all this prepped a little earlier, but nonetheless, shout out to El Salvador. That's their library. Totally next level.
JV
I was there a couple of months.
Crypto Analyst
Ago and my mind was literally blown away. So, yeah. So in regards to this news, Trump states, the strategic bitcoin reserve will maximize the value of our holdings rather than foolishly selling them to gain get a fraction of their value. That was a part of the speech at the Digital Asset Summit. Max responded. US Controlled IMF tells Trump to stop.
JV
Buying Bitcoin, citing volatility and instability worries threatening the US Economy.

JV
Tape speech at the Digital Asset Summit in Manhattan. His remarks were met by standing room only crowd as he praised crypto and.

JV
Netted him financial and electoral support, obviously from the crypto industry. Pioneers like you will be able to improve our banking and payment system and promote greater privacy, safety, security and wealth for the American consumers and businesses alike. You will unleash an explosion of economic growth. Let's go. Trump noted his administration has already stopped selling seized bitcoin and has brought together industry leaders with his government officials quoting him here we're ending the last administration's regulatory War on crypto and bitcoin, and that includes stopping the lawless Operation Choke Point. Operation Choke Point went beyond regulation and I mean far beyond. Frankly. It was a disgrace. Preach, he said. It was in his second appearance at the crypto conference after a live campaign stop at the Bitcoin national in 2024. But as of January 2025, all of that is over, meaning since his inauguration, the war on crypto is officially over. Trump has already signed two executive orders tied to digital assets, assets since taken Office for the second term on January 20th. Ironic enough, today we hit the all time high of 1093 after previously creating a working group for digital assets, also establishing the bitcoin reserve using the previously seized bitty assets. Speculation ahead of Thursday's speech centered on whether he would address the banking or crypto taxes. As you know, there's been a lot of speculation since last year from the Trump family regarding them wanting to propose 0% Bitcoin and crypto taxes for capital gains for those cryptos created in the usa. Let me know if you think they'll move forward with that. Ultimately, though, he did not announce any new actions in particular, instead just reiterated what the administration has already been doing. He also said it's an honor to speak with you about how the United States is going to dominate crypto and the next generation of financial technologies. And it's not going to be easy, but we are way ahead. Trump has courted the crypto industry over the past year, as you know, since taking office, continuing to show his support. He also followed through with some of his promises, including freeing Ross Ross Albrecht, the founder of the Silk Road. He did follow through and pardon him, which was a great, you know, good fate sign. He did establish the bitcoin strategic reserve and he did sign some executive orders. So pretty lit. Ding dong, the witch is dead. Precisely. War paint. The Lummis bill is in the committee right motherfucking now. So yeah, the Lummis bill, which has.
Crypto Analyst
Been redrafted, they cut off where they would stop at a million, but they can purchase a million or more, which is a key distinction there. And you know, Michael Saylor recently proposed, you know, a speech at the crypto summit, I think that was on the 7th, roughly two weeks ago, and he proposed Trump to purchase up to 25 of the Bitcoin circulating supply, would be approximately five to five and a half.
JV
Million BTC, which is 5x that of.

Episode 1939: “America Will Be The Undisputed Bitcoin Superpower of The World” - Trump
Host: Justin Verrengia
Release Date: March 20, 2025
The episode kicks off with a comprehensive market watch segment, providing listeners with real-time data on major cryptocurrencies. As of the live stream, Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly correcting, down 0.5% but remains robustly positioned just above $84,000. Notably, XRP saw a 10% pump following the SEC's retraction of their appeal, although it subsequently faced a 4% decline post the five-year lawsuit resolution. BNB and Tron are both edging green, albeit marginally.
Diving into Bitcoin's technical analysis, the host discusses Bitcoin's recent performance, highlighting a two-week high spike attributed to rumors of an imminent US government crypto policy update. Bitcoin is currently consolidating near $86,000, benefiting from a Federal Reserve meeting where officials decided to hold interest rates steady, fostering a bullish sentiment in the markets.
The episode elucidates the changing behavior of long-term hodlers, suggesting that increased willingness to hold rather than sell may signal anticipated price increases. Additionally, the rise of new Bitcoin whales—addresses holding over 1,000 BTC with an average acquisition age of less than six months—points to heightened confidence among institutional and high-net-worth investors.
Pakistan is forging ahead with a cryptocurrency legal framework aimed at attracting international investors. The newly appointed CEO of Pakistan's Crypto Council emphasized the nation's commitment to becoming a leader in blockchain-powered finance.
In parallel, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) has launched a real estate tokenization project in collaboration with the Dubai Future Foundation and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority. This initiative aims to digitize real estate assets, expecting the market value to surpass $16 billion by 2033.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Michael Saylor's controversial strategy to finance further Bitcoin purchases through a new perpetual stock offering named Strife. This move has sparked debate within the crypto community regarding its sustainability and potential risks.
Critics argue that the high dividend obligations may become untenable if Bitcoin's price experiences a significant downturn. Comparisons have been drawn to the collapse of Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) in the late '90s, though some analysts defend Saylor by highlighting the company's substantial Bitcoin reserves and Saylor's deep personal investment in Bitcoin.
Conversely, supporters like David Bailey and Dylan LeClaire dismiss comparisons to LTCM, emphasizing the differences in operational structures and Saylor's significant Bitcoin holdings as a buffer against potential risks.
In a three-minute speech at the Digital Asset Summit held in New York, President Donald Trump made bold proclamations positioning the United States as the leading global superpower in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Trump's administration has taken decisive steps by establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve and ceasing the sale of seized Bitcoin assets. This aligns with his broader vision to foster economic growth through cryptocurrency adoption.
However, Trump's statements have drawn criticism from the IMF, which cautions against the volatility and instability of Bitcoin, potentially threatening the US economy.
Despite these warnings, Trump's administration appears steadfast in its commitment to elevating the United States' standing in the global cryptocurrency landscape.
The episode features a live Q&A segment, where the host engages with listeners' opinions on the discussed topics. The community remains divided on Saylor's strategy, with some viewing it as genius and others deeming it irresponsible.
Listeners are encouraged to share their perspectives, reflecting the ongoing debate within the crypto community regarding the sustainability and strategic direction of major players like Michael Saylor.
Episode 1939 of Crypto News Alerts offers an in-depth exploration of the latest developments in the cryptocurrency space, with a particular focus on:
The episode underscores a pivotal moment in the crypto industry, marked by significant governmental support juxtaposed with critical voices cautioning against potential risks. As the landscape continues to evolve, the interplay between regulatory frameworks, institutional strategies, and market dynamics will shape the future trajectory of cryptocurrency adoption and valuation.
