The only bitcoin indicator with 100% accuracy. And that's a fact, Jack. In fact, that's a sexy bitty Blackjack. Today is March 7, 2026. Happy SAT stack. And Saturday, let's dive right into our feature story of the day. This is actually something I asked Chat GBT to model the bitcoin price scenarios for 2028 to 2040 and then we're going to go on a deep dive specifically in the hyper bitcoinization case which is the most bullish scenari because we're going to go deeper. But let's start here with some context. Here's what it generated across conservative base and hyper bitcoinization cases. The conservative case I'll hit you with first. Slow adoption, heavy regulation, no major solver and acceleration. 2028 prediction is between 250 and 400,000 per coin. 2032 and I used four year intervals because the year the havings 2032600 to 900,000, 2036 1.2 to 2 million and by the year 2043 to 5 million. And again this is the conservative case. Assuming Bitcoin grows more like digital 2.0, steady but not explosive. Next up for the base case, ETFs expand globally, sovereigns quietly accumulate and corporate treasuries grow. This prediction for 2028 ranges between 500 and 800,000. 2032 1.5 to 2.5 million, 20363 to 6 million and by the year 2040 we're talking 8 to $15 million Bitcoin price action. This assumes Bitcoin becomes recognized macro reserve asset by the mid-2030s and practically continues to grow at a pace it's already growing, hence the base case. But the most exciting is the hyper bitcoinization case where multiple nation states adopt reserves, major currency crisis, capital flight event. This has us at between 800,000 and 1.5 million within the next couple of years. At the time of the Next having in 2028 this would be pure fire of course. 20323 to 5 million. 20368 to 15 million. Here's where it gets pretty exciting. By 2040 bro 20 to 40 million dollars Bitcoin. This scenario assumes rapid sovereign FOMO and global monetary instability. So I wanted to expand on this. So 4 hours ago I asked Chat GBT to expand on the hyper bitcoinization case. And here's the breakdown. This scenario assumes Bitcoin stops being viewed as a speculative asset and begins functioning as a Global reserve asset competing with sovereign currencies. The key trigger is the nation state adoption. Once a few countries begin stacking Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, the incentives change for everybody else. No country wants to be the last one accumulating why this matters. For the supply, we all know there can only ever be 21 million bitcoin finite limited supply. Now imagine just 10 countries all trying to accumulate 100,000 bitcoin each. That alone removes 1 million bitcoin from that 21 million circulation. Nearly 5% of the entire supply. And that's before the corporations, the Michael Sailors, the Black Rocks, the ETFs and solving wealth funds compete for the rest. A great example of supply shock. Then comes the institutional fomo. Once the governments begin accumulating, the Bitcoin institutions will follow. Many funds cannot allocate to Bitcoin until regulatory clarity exists, sovereign adoption begins and the macro reserve narratives begin to form. Once those barriers break, capital flows can accelerate very quickly. We've already seen this early phase with the spot Bitcoin ETFS which went live back in early 2024, as well as the corporate treasury strateg which were all birthed with micro Strategy back in 2020. Shout out sailor. So hyper Bitcoinization simply assumes this trend goes global. The macro catalyst is the currency instability, which we all know is a given. As they continue to print fiat until the wheels fall off. This model also assumes a currency or sovereign debt crisis triggers capital flight. Historically, when the fiat systems wobble, the capital moves into neutral assets. And for centuries that asset has been gold. But Bitcoin now offers something different and superior. Fixed supply, globally transferable, censorship resistant and digital settlement. And let's not forget unconfiscatable, unlike gold. We all can't forget about that Gold Seizure act of 1933. Now the combination has never existed before. Hence why Bitcoin's perfect money. Capital moves faster than ever. Now digital and in the past, monetary transitions took decades. Today capital can move in seconds, across borders, in seconds, permissionless. If global capital begins rotating into Bitcoin networks, repricing could happen far faster than most models assume. It could happen in a violent upheaval. Quoting Samson Mouth, this is where the 800,000 a $1.5 million Bitcoin within the next couple of years, 2028, having around the corner scenario emerges. The final phase is the sovereign fomo. Whereas Max Kaiser coined the global hash war. Once early adopter nations benefit from accumulating the bitcoin reserves, the rest will rush to follow. Like what we're witnessing in El Salvador. First Movers Advantage. Other countries now like the U.S. following. But hopefully we do something with this digital reserve security program on spreadsheets. New regulations piling up, an audit dread. It's time for Vanta. Vanta automates security and compliance, brings evidence into one place and cuts audit prep by 82%. Less manual work, clearer visibility, faster deals, zero chaos.

But anyways, just like central banks once competed to accumulate gold reserves. Except this time supply is capped, settlement is digital and competition is global. At that point Bitcoin stops being speculative and becomes a strategic geopolitical asset. That is the core assumption behind this hyper bitcoinization model. So if sovereign competition for bitcoin reserves begins, the repricing could happen much faster than people really expect. And the window to accumulate beforehand may be far smaller than most investors even realize. In that environment, Bitcoin doesn't gradually rise in price, it reprices. Because once sovereign competition for fixed 21 million supply truly begins, the market stops asking what is bitcoin worth? And starts asking how much bitcoin can we still get? And that my friend, is how the path to 800000 to 1.5 million bitcoin by the year the next having in 2028 begins to make sense. Let me know your thoughts on that. And can you see the hyper bitcoinization scenario playing out? Or do you think it's more likely we see a conservative case or base case? Holla and let me know. And as a bonus I found this other prediction. Bitcoin may hit 180,000 this year if this particular situation plays out. So I want to break that down. They're giving it a 25 chance of happening. By the way, we all know the current all time high, the firmament we achieved in October 2025 is 126. So this is like you know, another 55000 on top of that. But this is amber data assigning a 25 probability to a more optimistic out bitcoin climbing between 120 ultimately re entering price discovery where we left off in October and then 180,000 as the top. And in the bull case, institutional participation accelerates alongside the sovereign adoption, creating a feedback loop for the expanding flows. So I want to know your thoughts. Ultimately with some of these bullish price predictions, can you see it happening? Let me know next Story of the day Trump's National Cyber Strategy pledges to support crypto and blockchain that's right, crypto execs are coming through President Trump's National Cyber Strategy after it was released yesterday, searching for hints about what it could signal for government support for the crypto industry. Quoting Alex Thorne from Galaxy Digital Crypto and blockchain are explicitly named as technologies to be protected and secured. This is a first for any U.S. cyber security strategy. Crypto and blockchain were mentioned once in the six page report quoting it here we will build secure technologies and supply chains to protect user privacy from design and deployment, including supporting the security of cyber or crypto securities and blockchain technologies. However, industry execs have also been interpreting other parts of the document to see how they relate to crypto. As Mark Chadwick points out, this just happened and is super bullish for crypto. White House released a President Trump New Cyber Strategy for America. The report directly positions cryptocurrency and blockchain as strategic tech. The US Must secure and lead globally. Key Highlights Crypto now being framed alongside AI, quantum computing and cyber security as critical infrastructure for the future economy. Bitcoin VC points out that the quantum has been taken seriously. Nick Carter from Castle Ventures, who has been very vocal on the threat of quantum computing to bitcoin, pointed to the section saying the government will accelerate the modernization to defensibility and resilience of federal info systems by implementing cyber security best practices post quantum cryptography, zero trust architecture and cloud transition. Sure seems like they're taking quantum seriously. Nothing to worry about, I'm sure. Clearly being sarcastic here. And it comes as the industry continues to debate about how close quantum computing is to being a serious threat to Bitcoin. On February 15, Carter said the major bitcoin holding institutions may eventually lose patience with bitcoin developers for not addressing quantum computing concerns quickly enough. Trump said the National Cyber Security outlines his priorities for ensuring that America remains unrivaled in cyberspace. Artificial intelligence was a key focus of the report. We will secure the AI tech stack, including our data centers and promote innovation of AI security, it said. Trump also emphasized the importance of of recruiting the next generation of workers in the cyber workforce to design and deploy exquisite cyber tech and solutions. The US typically releases a national cyber security strategy every administration outlining the government's priorities for emerging tech. All right, fam. Next story. Pakistan's Parliament Passes the Virtual Asset Act A 2026 hitman now Pakistan's parliament passed the Virtual Asset Act 2026 on Wednesday, cementing the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority, a government agency, as the country's digital asset regulator. Regulators. The framework gives this organization established In July of 2025 the authority to enforce licensing requirements and oversights of a digital asset service providers, according to the announcement from the regulator. Also, they're tasked with setting the enforcing anti money laundering provisions and international sanctions compliance under the new legislation quoting it here with no objection. Certificates already issued and banking rails being developed in coordination with this State bank of Pakistan. We're moving towards a comprehensive license and framework aligned with the global AML and financial Integrity standards. I call it the Lizard folks standards, but hey, that's just me. The bill passed in both the Senate and the Pakistan national assembly but must still be signed by Pakistan's President to become law. The government of Pakistan moved to regulate crypto as legal tender in November of 2024, reversing the long standing push back from the regulators who said crypto would never be legalized or integrated into financial system. Surprise surprise Moos. Since that time Pakistan announced the Bitcoin Strategic reserve and dedicated 2,000 megawatts of electricity for mining and AI data centers. Digital assets are the foundation of the new financial rail for the Global South. The Pakistan views blockchain tech as critical infrastructure because it is now here it shows you in this chart. Let's see. Pakistan ranks near the top of the chain Alice's 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index number one goes to India, number two to the US three Pakistan coming in strong, Vietnam at number four, Brazil number five Nigeria six Indonesia seven, Ukraine eight, Philippines nine and the Russia Federation ten and UK is number eleven. So January Pakistan signed the Memorandum of the understanding with the SC Financial Tech and affiliate of the World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance platform founded by the Trump fam. The collaboration will explore the use of USD1, which is Trump Family Stablecoin for digital payments including cross border transactions and remittances. We also have the Binance founder Czech who said Pakistan could emerge as a global hub for digital assets by 2030 if the country continues its rapid pace of development.

And speaking of the global hash wars, Trump, what are we doing with our strategic bitcoin reserve? Last I heard, bitcoin supply the US is allegedly just north of 300,000. We got to get at least to a million stat. Or maybe countries like Pakistan, India and these other upcoming countries will take over. You know. So what are we going to do? Stack some bitties? Come on now. Next story of the day yo markets are under price and risk of longer Middle east war. So will this war last a long time like we saw with Iraq? You know, some people are like it'll be over in two days. I'm skeptical. Typically with these regime changes and it's a very lengthy process, it's never what they tell us. But let's dive in. This is a smart man. By the way, crypto billionaire Arthur Hayes just blaze you know. As geopolitical tensions escalate and the global markets face a new wave of uncertainty, one asset has been behaving in an unexpected way, bitcoin. While the Middle east slides deeper into conflict with the energy markets, reacting to the potential supply disruptions, the world's largest crypto and has held up relatively well compared to many traditional assets. For some observers, that resilience raises an important question. Could bitcoin be signaling something about the macroeconomic market that hasn't been fully priced in? Arthur Hayes shares his perspective on the forces shaping the global economy. The forces of evil. Epstein's clients, of course, and why the coming months can prove pivotal for the financial markets. On the geopolitical front, Hayes argues investors may be underestimating the risk if the current conflict expands or drags on. Which reminds me of the word dragon drag on. I don't think global markets are fully priced in, he says in a longer war because the US And Iran, he said if energy flows are disrupted, the ripple effects could spread through the global economy via the higher oil prices and we already got higher oil prices. Yo, I heard rumors in California. $10 a gallon. Insane inflationary pressure increased volatility across the market. At the same time, Hayes says another powerful disruption is unfolding beneath the surface. And FYI, one of my favorite hip hop albums growing up was the Jizza genius beneath the surface. I even went to the concert to meet the Jizza. True story, Tampa, Florida. But anyways, artificial intelligence. According to him, AI could rapidly reshape the labor market by replacing a significant share of knowledge workers, from lawyers and bankers to accountants and analysts. If the transition happens quickly, the result could be widespread credit stress as households struggle to service existing debt. Ultimately, Hayes believes the global financial system tends to respond to crisis the same way with liquidity. Bitcoin is essentially just a liquidity smoke alarm. I'm gonna rephrase it. Liquidity smoke bomb for the ninjas out there. Satoshis. To hear Hayes break down the macro thesis, check the show notes in the description. Bitcoin could outshine the goal through to 2029 according to the macroeconomist prediction. That's right. There's apparently a gap between how the investors feel about gold and bitcoin and has rarely been this wide. Gold fear and greed index sitting at a 72 out of a hundo deep in the greed territory, while Bitcoin hit a 18 out of 100, a level classified as extreme fear. In fact, we were as low as a 5 more recently, which is the bottom currently for the cycle. So we got macroeconomist. Lynn Alden, the one and only, says the gap tells a story and we should pay attention. Let's do it all then. Speaking to the new era pod this week, said if she had to choose between the two assets, she'd pick bitcoin. She says, gun to my head. If I had to say which one I think outperforms, I'll say to bitcoin. Well, smart choice, Lynn. Gold has climbed hard. Bitcoin has fallen like the fallen angels. She sees a pendulum between the two, and right now it has swung well in go's favorite. That, she agreed, sets up the potential reversal. That's right. We're driving in reverse. Watch out. Gold reached the record high of almost 5,700 an ounce in January. Had a slight correction. I think it's currently trading at around 5,100 an ounce. Bitcoin, by contrast, sitting at roughly 44% below its own peak of 126,000, which was reached back in October. That's right. We got literally a 60. Correction. We touched 599 which is current bottom for the cycle, which is lower than the 2021 all time high which was 69 GS which is mind boggling. But the divergence in price performance mirrors the divergence of the man in the mirror for Michael Jackson solo perform. All right, I'm making that up but Alden acknowledged gold's run but stopped short of calling it a bubble. Sentiment around it is somewhat euphoric as she said, while the mood around the biddy has turned from what she described as unfairly negative because we got the futs sisters and the fraudsters all working against in a conspiracy to keep the price suppressed. Jane street great example. 10:00am look her up. 40 billion dollar lawsuit. She was careful not to over claim both assets can rise at the same time. Both can fall. She does not treat the relationship between them as fixed or predictable with certainty. But pressed to make a call, she made one Put the gun to my head. I'm picking the btc. Let me know if you agree the backdrop of Alden's comments is a broader debate about which asset deserves the title of a reliable store of value. Billionaire investor Ray Dalio started fudding Bitcoin more recently, which is interesting. He says he's on the goal side. Speaking publicly, Dalio described gold as the most established form of money and pointed it to standing as the second largest reserve asset held by the central banks worldwide. He raised concerns about the Bitcoin limitation and privacy and the vulnerability of the quantum computing. So he's one of the ones pushing the quantum computing fud, a technological threat which remains years and some say decades away, drawing increase in attention as construction begins on the large scale quantum facilities. If it's truly that much of a concern, buy yourself a quantum resistant wallet. If they're not available yet, I'm sure there'll be mass available and being produced within the next couple of years. Simply transfer your current Bitcoin from whatever wallet you're currently using to the quantum resistant wallet. Problem solved. It's really not a big deal, but they make a big deal about it because they're fighting it. Brian Armstrong says I think bitcoin could reach 1 million by 2030 based on the current conditions and progress. Think long term and in my humble opinion, long term. And Bitcoin is Safeway and Albertsons have

But hey, four years in crypto, I guess we can call that long term as well. Dalio's position in Alden's are not entirely at odds. Neither dismiss either asset outright. The question is about which performs better over a defined window. And I mean Bitcoin has out performed gold every single year up until recently. So I do not see gold outperforming bitcoin in the future. I think Bitcoin is drastically undervalued. But the Coinbase CEO says he predicted Bitcoin to reach a million by 2030, citing cleaner regulatory conditions emerging in the U.S. which he called the signal for the rest of the G20. But again, gold supply is going to increase 1 to 2% every year without fail. Because they just discover more gold. Gold is, there's an abundance of it in the earth. Granted there's relative scarcity. There's still an abundance of it in the earth. Just like oil, the earth produces it, you know, so bitcoin hard cap, finite limited supply, perfect money. For the first time, perfect money exists. And they can't artificially inflate it, but they can try, which is what they do with futures and you know, leverage plays and things of that nature. ETFs, which are IOUs. And I heard something like with gold, for whatever the gold supply that truly exists, and it's probably not even in our Fort Knox Reserve, but they sell more than 100x paper gold. You know, being traded on the market, it's probably even astronomically higher than that than what there actually is. And so right now I think the total grand total gold market cap's like 40 trillion, but the actual underlying asset is a fraction of that. You know what I mean? If you don't know, you never know. Now for our final story of the day. Strategies STRC Stock trade and Surge. How much Bitcoin could woodchuck chuck? If a woodchuck could chuck wood and the woodchuck was Michael Sailor, how much would he buy? That's the question at hand right now. Let's break her down. Sailors Strategy currently owns 50 billion a Bitcoin, the highest by any publicly traded company on record by a stretch. Ironic enough stretch is Strategies Income Focus prefer stock launched July of 2025 to raise capital for the Bitcoin accumulation Strategy and its IPO, the company raised 2 1/2 billion gross and 2.47 billion net. It then used those proceeds to acquire 21, 000 and 21 Bitcoin and at an average price of 117 G's baby strategy later expanded the model by launching a 4.2 billion STRC at the market program that was July 31, 2025. You know, allowing it to sell prefer shares gradually into the market demand rather than all at once. The mechanism works best when Stretch trades near its $100 target for that Strategy pays a variable monthly yield to the investors, which I believe is 11 and a half percent, adjusting it to keep the stock close to the par value. A higher yield can support the price when it falls below par, while a lower yield can cool the demand when it rises far above. For March of 2026, the annualized stretch rate is 11 and a half percent or about.95, so I'd say just shy of 96 cents per share monthly. Let me know if any of you got exposure to scratch to earn you know your your dividends and yield. In short, SDRC turns investor demand for yield into funding for more Bitcoin purchases. For example, in January, Strategy sold 1.19 million stretch shares for 119 million and net proceeds along 1.12 billion raised through the MSTR sales. It used the combined Capital to purchase 13627BTZ for roughly one and a quarter billion dollars. He is the Bitcoin alchemist after all. In February, stretch proceeds are worth 78 million were used to purchase 2486 BTC at net. Strategy may soon raise over 300 million through the sales of STR prefer stock, potentially giving Sailor enough firepower to buy another 4,300 bitcoin. Aiming to estimates from Bitcoin quant the projection is based on stretches trading activity this week. Bitcoin quants model shows about 777 million jackpot baby in total volume with roughly 97 or 755 million traded above the stock's hundred dollar par value. Using a forty dollar or sorry forty capture rate, the model estimates around 302 million worth. The net proceeds enough to purchase another 4,300 Bitcoin based on average Bitcoin price of 68 to 73,000 during the market hours. Friday alone saw a record 188 million in stretch trading volume, implying enough capital proceeds to fund the purchase of around another 1100 bitcoin based on the same model. The figures remain speculative for now. However, Strategy's latest filing showed another 7 million in stretch sales contributing to the broader 3,000 Bitcoin purchase. And there we go. Yo, how much bitcoin will the sailor buy? As much as possible. There's no limit to the sky, you know what I mean? And his goal obviously is to have the largest bitcoin bank in the world. It all started with a few hundred thousand bitties and now he has, I don't know, roughly 5% of the supply. He has the largest amount out of any corporate holder. I think the only institution which on paper may have more than Saylor is BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. Ibit however, also note interesting fact that Coinbase prime is the custodian for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF and Michael Saylor. So nacho keys, not your coins. Who really holds the keys to all this Bitcoin coinbase, which in my opinion the US Government has total control over. You know they're doing business with government. Of course you can't short your dorks. Don't be harded.

Host: JV (Bitcoin News Alerts)
This episode dives deep into the escalating case for hyperbitcoinization, analyzing speculative price models that envision Bitcoin (BTC) reaching $1.5 million by 2028. JV explores various price projection scenarios, discusses recent macro and regulatory news affecting BTC (including government strategies and sovereign adoption), unpacks insights from leading voices like Arthur Hayes and Lynn Alden, and details the relentless BTC accumulation strategy of Michael Saylor’s firm. The host maintains an unfiltered, bullish, and irreverent tone throughout, true to the show’s ethos—stack hard, stay sovereign.
[02:00–08:40]
“Once sovereign competition for fixed 21 million supply truly begins, the market stops asking what is Bitcoin worth? And starts asking how much Bitcoin can we still get?”
— JV ([08:28])
“Bitcoin doesn’t gradually rise in price, it reprices.”
— JV ([09:27])
[10:08–11:15]
“Ultimately with some of these bullish price predictions, can you see it happening?”
— JV ([11:09])
[11:16–13:40]
"Crypto and blockchain are explicitly named as technologies to be protected and secured. This is a first for any U.S. cyber security strategy.”
— Alex Thorne, Galaxy Digital (via JV, [12:01])
[13:41–16:37]
“Digital assets are the foundation of the new financial rail for the Global South.”

JV concludes by urging listeners to consider the shrinking window for pre-sovereign BTC accumulation, warning that repricing could catch the market off-guard. The episode is packed with analysis, sharp takes on macro risk, regulatory momentum, and the enduring narrative: BTC as the ultimate store of value in a rapidly digitizing, unstable world.
Closing Challenge:
“Can you see the hyperbitcoinization scenario playing out—or do you think we’ll get a more conservative outcome? Holla and let me know.”
