All this plus so much more right here in today's show. Today is Pot Episode2255. I'm your host JV Fed Chair Nip is at the hospital. True story so keep them in your prayers. Today is Tuesday Taco Tuesday February 17, 2026. Lots happening as always in the markets as we continue our correction here. Let's kick it off with our market watch. Pulling up coin360 usually Bitcoin down half percent on the day maintaining above 67,500 at the time of the live Friday Saturday pumpy pump Sunday Monday dumpy dump and here we are. Correction continues but the alts are moving but barely. You see ether looking to reclaim 2000. We got XRP looking to reclaim a buck 50B BNB looking to reclaim 620 etc and checking out coinmarketcap.com current crypto market cap 2.33 trillion. Even McEven checking out the bitty market chat 1.349 trillion. So both back on the decline. Checking out top 100 crypto gainers uh past 24 hours. Uh, we got morpho. I wonder if it's uh, related to Morpheus. Up 10. Let's ask Neo. Uh, we also have PI up 6% and Mem Core up up roughly 6% on the day. Checking out the cryptogreed interior index Today we're rated 10 extreme fear still yesterday at 12. Last week a 9. And the bottom I believe is now a 6. For the cycle. These are levels we ain't seen since the FTX debacle. Winter of 2022 and checking out the time chain calendar today is block height 937,124. You could exchange one fiat monopoly dollar for 1480 sats. So you know what to do. You pick up those sats, you put down the gats and pick up some bitcoin caps from a man Sergio over@bitcoin caps.net let's pull up some of the live charts. We'll do a little live chart action Jackson Satisfaction dedicated to the Broskis Here we're looking at the one hour chart, two red candles most recently printed. Before that we did get a decent size green candle but we have just been trading sideways and downwards over the past week few days unfortunately we did have a, like I said, a Friday Saturday pump and then it's been lackluster since checking out a four hour. Does it get any better? Nope, just sideways boring trading action. Red candle, green candle, red candle, green candle. And we're currently just below the core moving averages on the screen. Checking out the daily. Any better? Nope. Similar couple of red candles on the day or for the past two days, maybe even three here. Like I said Friday, Saturday we had a little relief back bounce but the correction continues here. I think we touched 71 but nonetheless we're 67 right now and 67 and a half I should say. Checking out the weekly also you'll notice 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 consecutive red candles. That's five weeks of bearishness unfortunately. Will we get a relief week soon? Potentially this week. Let me know your thoughts. Checking out the monthly, very similar to the weekly 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 consecutive red candles. We now approaching the third week of February and again if we don't get a relief rally, we're most likely closing the red again. Will things turn around for the month of March or will we have to wait until Q1 is over and we enter April. Let me know your thoughts. Entertain them in the comments. Next up, let's do a little chart action predictions traders pinpoint three price targets for Bitcoin. If 70,000 holds as resistance and we keep tinkering retesting 70 dropping back down regain into 70 dropping back down. So what's going to happen is likely we'll blow past 70 and regain 80 CME gap at 84 or we'll continue to crack lower which a lot of analysts are suggesting right now. And obviously if 70 don't hold we'll be in the low 60s again or even worse than the 50s considering we already touched 599 which is current bottom of the cycle. So let's discuss discuss it Bitcoin currently wedged between the 200 week simple moving average at 683 and the 200 week exponential moving average of 58. 4. Generally in the bitcoin trading history, major bitcoin bottoms have formed between the 200 week simple moving average and exponential moving average. This suggests that Bitcoin is possibly forming a bottom between these trend lines. And while Bitcoin has produced a weekly close above the 200 week EMA for the second week in a row, this does not mean it is now in the clear. Quoting REC Capital alongside this chart. The absence of any meaningful upside from here going forward there is a risk bitcoin loses the 200 week EMA in time triggering additional downside and this is the weekly chart looking horrific at this time. Also Ted Pillows expanded a view focus on 71 for the bullish breakout, quoting him here alongside the chart and if the breakdown happens below 66 Bitcoin might revisit 60 GS and let me know if you think we'll revisit 66 and if so do you think we'll retest 60 GS and right now you know we're not too far from there, we're 67. 5 so but anyways the CME gap is between 80 and 84 which could act as a magnet which I referenced earlier representing the upper price target for the bitty. So with 9 out of 10 CME gaps filled since August, the 80 to 84 range stands out as the key level to watch the upside. And after Turning away from 72 last week, Bitcoin found support at 65. Glass notes cost basis distribution Heat map revealed a significant portion or support area recently established between 63 and 65 where the long term holders recently acquired approximately 372,000 BTC. A decisive break below this level would likely open the path towards the realized price around 55Gs. And this according to Glass Note who are very good at what they do when it comes to the ta, but you're looking here at the long term huddler cost basis distribution heat map. Now current analysis suggests that the bears may aim to hold Bitcoin below 65. Sounds exactly what a bear would do to remain in control. But if they succeed, this can retest a critical 60 level. And if the 60 support cracks, next stop is likely 52,000 today's episode of Bitcoin News Alerts is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. You chose to hit play on this podcast today.

500 so let me know your thoughts. Do you think the current bottom is in? Or do you think we'll continue inching lower and lower with lower lows? Holler. Let me know. All right, next up Mr. Gigachad, where you at? Michael Saylor Strategy acquired 2,486bitties 468.4 million at 67,710 dollars per bitcoin. So as of February 16th we HODL 717131 BTC acquired for 54 and a half billion. Good Lord. At 76,000 per bitcoin. So clearly they're below water. And I think just recently may have been yesterday's podcast Sailor verbalized that there's no need for anyone to worry about liquidations with his company for a cost basis of any. Like, unless Bitcoin goes sub 8,000, there's like no concern whatsoever, which he's ultimately telling us. Bears go yourself. Ain't no one liquidating sailor, but that's a sailor man for you. You know, Sailor Strategy previously micro strategy, but there was nothing micro about that. Huh? Has announced his eighth consecutive weekly bitcoin purchase with the company, now just one purchase away from hitting its hundredth bitcoin purchase milestone. Congratulations, Michael. I got 99 problems but a Bitcoin purchase ain't 1 hitman now this latest purchase comes as investors raise concerns over the threat of quantum computing to btc, although Sailor's company is also notably making plans to combat this threat. He'll probably sell you the software to you know, around find out. But the SEC filing shows the company acquired 2,486 bitcoin as sailor already disclosed on X for roughly 169 million at an average of 67.7per coin and they are the largest corporate holder of the world currently with 717,131 Bitcoin which they acquired for a grand total of 54 and a half billion dollars with their average buy price dollar cost average currently 76 000. So yes they are underwater. You can see here the filing show Strategy funded this latest purchase using proceeds from MSTR and STRC stock sales. It sold 660,000 MSTR2 785,000 STRC, raising net proceeds of 90 million and 78 million respectively. Sailor has teased about the Bitcoin purchase in his Sunday post as he always does. This is the infamous Sailor Tracker and like clockwork, every single time he has post this it means they made an acquisition, he'll be announcing it when the market opens and precisely what he did here today. Furthermore More this marks the company's eighth consecutive weekly bitcoin purchase dating back to December of last year. The purchase comes as institutional investors raise concerns over the threat of Quantum. Also reported earlier, Kevin o' Leary warned of a potential bitcoin crash due to concerns about Quantum. My two satoshi is what the does Kevin O know about bitcoin besides doing business with Bankman Freed and being an ambassador for ftx. And then he flipped the narrative and went pro bitcoin after that deal. I'll never forget he was anti bitcoin in the beginning. He was very skeptical to it and and so was his homie Mark Cuban. I never forget a hater, you know. I'll never forget an enemy of bitcoin. Cuban was comparing bitcoin to bananas. That's why I love in the new track Ain't no sell my SATs girl by Chandy Coins are bananas and spell it out for him because that's the same propaganda that Cuban was hitting bitcoin with. And we all know we rather eat bitcoins than bananas. But I'd rather have a banana than a coin because it's delicious, it's nutritious, makes your teeth white. You can rub the banana peel the inside. It's a little secret for you. All right. We did the Mikey sailor right strategy. Acquire 2486 of the BTC. Next up, Nakamoto to acquire Bitcoin Inc. Or I should say BTC Inc. UTXO and 107 million dollar stock deal is breaker down. Charlie Brown Nakamoto, the Bitcoin treasury company formerly known as Kindly MD this his what's his names. The guy who owns Bitcoin magazine, David Bailey. He signed a definitive agreement to acquire BTC Inc. And UTXO Management GP advancing the plan to build the Bitcoin native operating company. The transaction will be financed entirely with Nakamoto's common stock under a previously disclosed call option contained in the marketing services agreement with BTC Inc. The MSA granted Nakamoto the right to acquire BTC Inc. Which in turn held the call option to acquire utxo. The company disclosed on today Taco Tuesday. Under the terms BTZ Inc. And the UTX holders will receive 363 million shares of the Nakamoto common stock on a fully diluted basis. The shares are currently priced at A$12 each under the call option framework. But based on Nakamoto's Friday closing price 29 and a half cents per share, the aggregate consideration is valid at approximately 107 million before adjustments. I think the company is down drastically. Wasn't it like valued at over a billion when they launched? So it means it hadn't been doing so well. So I think he had to make a drastic move. The deal consolidates Bitcoin media events and capital allocation under one public entity. BTC Inc. Is the parent company of Bitcoin Magazine, the organizer of the Bitcoin conference. While the UTXO advises to ten Capital, a hedge fund focused on bitcoin related securities. The all stock structure is fixed at A$12 per share, clearly well above Nakamoto's recent trading price of $0.30, implying substantial dilution for existing shareholders, raising valuation questions. Nakamoto shares were lower following the announcement. And look at this. This is Nakamoto on the. I guess this the NASDAQ or whatever. Yes. Under the ticker Naka has a market cap of 194 million. But you can see when it first launched it took off. You know, it hit $25 and then it just sunk all the way to where we're at sub $0.29. So it looks like he had to do something. Management has positioned Bitcoin Inc. And UTXO as reoccurring cash flow businesses that can support additional Bitcoin accumulation. And future acquisitions, effectively creating a public market wrapper for media asset management advisory options tied to the Bitty Nakamoto holds 5398 BTZ on the balance sheet, according to the industry data, placing it ahead of Procat Financial Gamestop Gemini Space Station amongst public Bitcoin treasury firms. The company's Bitcoin focused pivot follow changes in a previous healthcare business under the Kindly MD name, including weak share price performance and a strategic repositioning undertaken before the rebrand. The Bitcoin treasury model has faced pressure in recent months amid the sharp digital asset downturn, with Bitcoin more than halved. That's right to the 60,000 range from 126 and as you know, it was a pretty devastating Q4 October, November, December and we hit a Jan bear and we're in a Febu Bear Steak and Shake says same store sales rose dramatically after the Bitty rollout that's right, roll out Steak and Shake said the same store sales drisen risen dramatically since the launch of the Burger to Bitcoin strategy, which was back in May 2025 that routes every bitcoin payment into the corporate treasury reserve.

It feels like AI can do everything. Write the code, analyze the data. It can even suggest your next move. But there's one thing AI can't do. Think for your people. With AI, the real advantage isn't the tools. Anyone can do that. The real advantage is human readiness. That's why the smartest companies aren't asking do we have AI. We they're asking can our people keep up to build a learning program that keeps your people ahead. Learn with Doo doo. Never stop learning.

Combine the decentralized cash producing operating business with the transformative power of the btc and thank the bitcoiners. You're very welcome Steak and Shake for making it possible. The chain did not provide the figures to define what it meant by risen dramatically. I envision Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. That's what I envision. Steak and Shake began accepting Bitcoin at participating locations May 16. It's actually my mom's birthday 2025 and a phase rollout. Since then, Steak and Shake reportedly tied higher sales to Bitcoin adoption. Reporting quarter on quarter same store sales growth of 11. We all know that's a divine omen. And that was the second quarter of 2025. Then 15. Take that haters. McDonald's Q3 2025 outpacing the whack Arnolds, the Dominoes and the Taco Hell over the same period. Under the program, all bitcoin receipts are funneled into the company's strategic bitty reserve which increases alongside customer spending. And here's the official tweet of Stake and Shake flex in here. This is actually posted yesterday. They wrote nine months ago. Today Steak and Shake launched the Burger to Bitcoin transformation. We started accepting bitcoin payments. Our same store sales have risen dramatically. Bitcoin payments for Steak and Shake burgers going to our strategic Bitcoin reserve which then fund the bitcoin bonus pay for our employees. We have combined a decentralized cash produce and operating business with a transformative power. The BTC Take that powerful. They also said their stash has grown to 10 million. Their bitty stash. That is a notional value without breaking down. How much of that came from price appreciation versus the additional accumulation. Also Burger to Burger success. I'm sorry? Burger to Bitcoin success. The Bitcoin treasury stash and Red Take that Chick fil A and to the Bitcoin treasury Stake and shake currently holds 161 bitcoin worth just shy of 11 million at the current price, implying an average cost basis of 92,000 per coin. That's how you buy the top, my man. That would be a position at 26% below the average purchase price. Meaning the company's strategic Bitty reserve is sitting on a sizable unrealized loss. What does that mean? You ain't lost unless you're enough to sell it. So well done, Steak and Shake. Keep accumulating your bitties. Don't let the Whack Arnolds and the Chick fil a of the world get you down. They're the forces of evil. As far as I'm concerned, you're doing it right. If I ever go to a Steak and Shake, I. I won't eat the burger vegetarian, but I'll get a thick shake and I'll, you know, I'll. I'll buy it with the bitties. That's how we roll. But anyways, we're going to dive into the big story here. Check it. Logan Paul sells his Pokemon card, which is the Pikachu illustrator for 16 and a half million in the auction. Let me know if you guys watch that. I believe it was yesterday, years after fractional NFT row. And also break down some of the controversy because this is a story. I've actually been following this Pikachu card for quite some time. But anyways, yeah. Logan Bald set a new Guinness World record selling his rare Pokemon card. It's the Pikachu illustrator for nearly 16 and a half million on Monday. The most expensive card sale in history. Though the new record sale didn't come without controversy. The auction for the Pikachu illustrator Pokemon card, one of the 39 created in a competition in the 90s, was won by AJ Scaramucci. Whoa. I wonder if he's related to the Mooch big Anthony Scaramucci. Interesting. Oh yes. It says the son of American. No way. Small world. So that's crazy. Anthony Scaramucci's son purchased the Illustrator from Logan Paul. Now makes sense. Outbidding several others who made offers of the 78 figure range. Paul is believed to have made an 8 million dollar profit after auction fees on Monday. And you can tell from his reaction he was not anticipating it going that high because he started freaking out when they announced a 12 million dollar bid and it just kept getting higher and higher. He bought the card for only 5.3 million in July of 2021. And here you can see Guinness World Records made a post. Logan Paul's rare Pokemon card becomes the most expensive ever sold in record setting auction. The PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator went on sale and sold for 16 and a half million. Now the controversy is this is the word according to the experts, the P allegedly I gotta throw in there the PSA 10 after being basically, what's the word? Appraised as a PSA 9 over and over and over again. They just kept paying because back then it was a lot more inexpensive to get the professional grades. And so he just kept re entering it until it got a score he wanted. So allegedly it's really a 9 and there's some visible flaws. A 10 would have no visible flaw like on a corner or anything like that, just FYI. So there could be some shenanigans here. What this could potentially mean, allegedly is when Anthony Scaramucci's new son Anthony Jr. Goes to sell it, he's going to get it appraised. It may never see a PSA 10 rating again. And what if they rated a 9 and it's no longer worth 6, 16 and a half million? The value drops let's hypothetically say to 8 million or 6 million DC just so you can understand that. Also, the record sale reignited criticism over Paul's move to fractionalize ownership of the card on liquid marketplace in 2022. Let's discuss this really quick because this is very significant. So Logan claimed to be a founder in the Liquid Marketplace which offers fractionalize shares of collectibles including this same Pikachu illustrator. And he basically did something where he'd own 49 and then the community that bid on it or something, the fractionalized ownership art, you know, whatever it's called, would earn the majority share of 51. Long story short, that platform allegedly ended up being a scam. Paul separated himself from it. He allegedly got the card back somehow and got the rights to it and then he put it on the auction and then all the people who bid on it spent millions of dollars collectively all got. And they don't get the card. And Logan is notorious for crypto scams, allegedly. You don't got to be a rocket scientist to Google crypto zoo, dink, doink and the list goes on and on. So just be very careful out there. But anyways, continuing back to the story here. The token is basically just ju the posed with property but has no rights to it. Shapiro said, urging investors to read the terms of the service. Stop rushing into the legal scams. Paul addressed the criticism stating Liquid Marketplace went offline for reasons beyond his control and that once aware of the issue, he paid to restore the site so users could withdraw their funds. Funds. Let me know if you buy into that. So yeah, here's what he wrote here. This the official post by Logan Balt. What an epic night. I am truly grateful for the Pokemon community, Ken golden, my team, for making last night a historic moment for the hobby to address concerns regarding the ownership. And he has to address it because it's all over the Internet and you know. But anyways, here's what he said. I had originally offered to sell up to 51% of the illustrator on Liquid Marketplace. But ultimately only 5% of the card was sold for about 270,000 summer of 2022 to fractional owners associated with Liquid Marketplace. In May of 2024 I bought the card back for the same price it was sold for per the terms and made funds available for the users to withdraw. I was told those funds were available to be withdrawn for approximately a year after being deposited in Liquid Marketplace users accounts. And many of the fractional owners did indeed withdraw those funds during the time for reasons outside my control and the Liquid Marketplace site went offline. Allegedly it was a scam. When I learned users could no longer withdraw their funds, I personally paid to get the site back up. Users are now able to withdraw their funds and they've been able to at the Liquid Marketplace. They were also notified via email. Today's episode of Bitcoin News Alerts is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

And you know there's a famous saying, tell it to the judge. But anyways, Paul isn't named in the Liquid Marketplace lawsuit. Interestingly though, he claimed to be a co founder in several videos back in the day. Also, this isn't the first time Paul had to defend himself in the involvement of NFTs. We all know the infamous Crypto Zoo NFT project failed to deliver its promised play to earn game drawing investor backlash and a lot of investors lost a lot of bank. He also set up a buyback program and eventually allegedly paid back investors. But who really knows the truth. Other NFT investments by Paul have flopped, including the anime style digital avatar from on one force collection he bought for 635 GS in 2021. Now valid under 2000. We all love those NFTs don't we? But yeah, the NFT market continues to slide. While the NFT market stands strong for the first two weeks of 2026, it's then fallen by 50% from 3 billion to 1 1/2 billion. Will it ever recover? You let me know your thoughts. And what what is your thoughts on a Pokemon card selling for 16 and a half million dollars and let me know if you watch the auction. But anyways we shall continue. We discuss rare Pokemon cards worth 16 and a half million. Is it the ultimate store value or is it Bitcoin? The doing doing hedge fund manager predicts 50 million per coin by 2041 so you tell me what you prefer to have holding on to a bitcoin for the next 20 years or a Pokemon card. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Check this out. EMJ Capital CEO Eric Jackson made one of the most extreme long term predictions for bitcoin. He believes bitcoin can reach 50 million by the year 2041. In fact, he breaks down his logic for it in this video shared here by the crypto basic. Let me know if you agree. How many years is 2040? Was that like 15 years from now? Hey hey now how many of you would hodl for that 50 million dollar coin? Let me know. So at the current prices this represents a 74000 increase over the next 15 years. Jackson shared his forecast in the interview with financial journalist Phil Ross. The hedge fund manager's prediction is not based on typical market analysis. Instead, he focuses on what he calls long term collateral transformation. He argues that bitcoin could evolve and what he describes as the neutral global collateral. This means the crypto would serve as a foundational asset that the global markets borrow against. This isn't just digital gold. This isn't just some Beanie Babies, he said. It is actually going to be a dominant way that we borrow against to do things. That's right, stacy said. We can just do things. The prediction assumes bitcoin will maintain its apolitical character. Jackson believes that the crypto needs to function as a neutral reserve asset for his vision to work. He does not think bitcoin will replace the existing financial system, rather it would operate beneath them as a foundational infrastructure. Now for some historical context, Jackson pointed to gold's role in the global finance comparison point. Central bank sovereign governments around the world would hold gold as a reserve asset, he says. Could Bitcoin be as big as gold one day? That seems like a safe assignment assumption. Let me know if you agree. He also said the bitcoin shares several characteristics with gold, including scarcity and independence from political control. That's right. However, bitcoin offers advantages that gold cannot Bitcoin is fully digital and programmable. Jackson traced the evolution of financial systems from gold back money regimes to the euro dollar system. And the euro dollar market consists the US dollar product deposits held in banks outside the US of A. These deposits are not subject to US banking regulations or the Federal Reserve oversight. That's probably a good thing. The euro dollar market became a major source of the offshore dollar liquidity over time. Now Jackson believes bitcoin would eventually replace the euro dollar as neutral collateral underpinning the global borrowing, describing Bitcoin as much superior collateral because it's digital, scarce and apolitical. But the question remains, is Bitcoin more valuable than the rarest of the rarest Pikachu cards? That's the question. Bitcoin operates outside central bank control. Jackson clarified this shift would not displace the US dollar or treasury bonds directly. Bitcoin wouldn't function or would function alongside existing systems as a foundational reserve asset. His Vision 2041 framework is built on the size and structure of the global sovereign debt markets. As we know today, the governments rely heavily on sovereign bonds to finance the operations maintain liquidity. Jackson sees vulnerabilities in the structure. He believes these weaknesses create an opening for neutral digitally native reserve assets. The immense scale of global sovereign debt markets unpin his 50 million price target. Jackson applies the same contrarian investment philosophy to Bitcoin that guided his earlier success, pointing to Carvana as an example and ironic When I moved to to Puerto Rico, true story. I sold my Mini Countryman which I had built using Carvana and it was a great experience. They paid exactly what I wanted for the car. No hiccups. Kane picked it up, tow truck gave me the check. You know, done deal. But in 2022, Carvana stock collapsed from roughly 400 to $3.50. Good Lord. So when I sold my car to Carvana it was in 2018, so I guess it went downhill after that. Good to note, Jackson believed the company's core platform remained valuable despite the decline. Now in a similar emotional extreme, influence in the btc critics and advocates continue to distort expectations. But we all know opinions like we all have them. And he has every right to believe bitcoin going to 50 million. I think that's a pretty legit target. In fact, I've heard fidelity targets we've covered on the pod north of a billion dollars. So yeah around find out. Let's see, will it be Pikachu, Sharar or Satoshi in the end as the ultimate store value? Let me know.
