Bitcoin just crossed a line. Not a price line, a power line. Because once governments start treating Bitcoin like strategic infrastructure, the entire game changes. This stops being a retail story. It becomes a global race. And races for scarce assets don't end with lower prices. Check this out. Breaking news. The United States just moved for 1 million bitcoin. Not talking about it, not studying it. Move for it. Congress just introduced legislation and create a Bitcoin strategic reserve targeting 5% of the entire Bitcoin supply. 1 million BTC locked away and held for 20 years. No more government auctions, no more dumping. Seize Bitcoin back onto the open market. And here's what most people still don't understand. This plan doesn't use taxpayer money. The US would revalue gold reserves and use that accountant gap to acquire Bitcoin. Translation, America may have just fired the opening shot in a sovereign Bitcoin arms race. Because if the US moves for 1 million Bitcoin, what does China do? Russia, Saudi Arabia? Anyone sitting on weakening reserves, watching America front run the hardest money on earth. This is where the narrative changes. For years Bitcoin was treated like a speculative asset. A tech trade, a risk on casino chip. Something governments mocked while quietly selling seas coins for Fiat. That era may have just ended because once the world's largest economy moves to classify Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, the signal changes completely. Gold already sits in reserve vaults. Treasuries sit on sovereign balance sheets. Now Bitcoin is entering that same conversation. Not a meme, not as a trade, as reserve infrastructure. And if America is serious. This becomes a supply shock most people still can't comprehend. There's only 21 million bitcoin. With millions already lost forever, a massive percentage hasn't moved in years. Public companies are accumulating, ETFs are absorbing. The supply strategy keeps issuing financial weapons to buy more like strc. Now imagine sovereign demand joining the same feeding frenzy. A million Bitcoin sounds huge. It is. But let's zoom it out. That's roughly 5% of the total supply gone off the market, potentially locked for decades. And that's just one country. And Michael Sailor already saw this coming. Quoting him here. Dump all the US gold for 5 million bitcoin. That trade is free. Demonetized enemy gold reserves to 01 while we take control of the world's reserve capital network. That's not a random pundit. The man who turned corporate Bitcoin accumulation into a financial weapon. And he's gone even further. Sailor is openly suggesting that the United States acquire 20% of the entire Bitcoin supply. Not 1 million Bitcoin over 4 million. Let that sink in. Because if influential capital allocators are thinking at that scale, today's reserve bill may not be aggressive, it may be conservative. What happens when others realize Bitcoin isn't being banned, is being nationalized? That's when this becomes exponential. Because no nation wants to be late to a reserve transition. No central bank wants to explain why they ignored a strategic asset, why a rival accumulated it first. And markets front run policy. They don't wait politely. The moment investors believe nation state accumulation is real, pricing changes instantly. Because Bitcoin doesn't need everyone to buy. It only takes enough buyers competing for what's left. That's always been the thesis. But now the buyers are governments. That's an entirely different game. And remember, the bill reportedly includes ending future Bitcoin liquidation from federal seizures. Meaning even confiscated Bitcoin never returns to market supply. Think about that. A seller becomes a permanent holder. This is a structural shift. The average person still thinks they have years, that adoption is slow, that governments will resist. That Bitcoin is still early in some calm predictable way. But what if the repricing event starts before consensus catches up? What if the too late moment doesn't feel dramatic at first? What if it looks exactly like this? A boring piece of legislation, a few headlines, a shrug from the public and then a scramble. Because once Bitcoin becomes strategic reserve policy, the question stops being should I own some? And becomes how much is left for me? Sounds extreme, right? Until you realize the pieces are already moving. This isn't some future theory. It's happening right now. Check it out. Breaking news Fox News just revealed the new U.S. strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill is targeting 5% of the entire Bitcoin supply. Over 1 million Bitcoin. Bitcoin Reserve will be the new Fort Knox.

Political Analyst
So Begich wants the government to stockpile 5% of all Bitcoin, which is equivalent to how much of the world's gold the US Stores in reserves. And he already found a way to fund it without taxpayers. The treasury is currently sucking up crypto assets tied to Iran through Operation Economic Fury. Baggage his plan, seize the ayatollah's crypto and drop it straight into the US Balance sheet. But he warns the GOP cannot afford to drag its feet. Conservatives have a tight six month window to pass this bill and lock that into law.

It's happening fam. They got six months to pass this bill. Also yesterday go about the major news of Trump signing the executive order urging the regulators that they must comply. So we get full adoption. And also we have the Clarity act, which is recently passed the Congress and is heading to the Senate this summer with a 75% likelihood of being passed. So the stars are aligned. Bitcoin strategic reserve for the United States as the global hash war continues. Check this out. You can see the headline. Gold's accounting trick becomes Bitcoin policy. ARMA would turn a strategic bitcoin reserve from executive order into permanent law. The American Reserve Modernization act, known as ARMA, would authorize the U.S. treasury to acquire up to 200,000 Bitcoin per year for up to five years, targeting a reserve of 1 million BTC. The bill was introduced Wednesday by Rep. With 16 original co sponsors. It's a rebranding and expansion of the original Bitcoin act co introduced last year by the same guy and Cynthia Lummis. It would codify Trump's March 2025 executive order establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve into permanent law that cannot be reversed by a future president. The bill classifies Bitcoin as a Tier 1 strategic reserve asset, putting it on the same legal footing as gold. And a separate digital asset stockpile will hold other federally owned crypto. All acquisitions must be budget neutral. The funding mechanism is revaluing Federal Reserve gold certificates from their current statutory price of $42 per ounce set in 1973 to the current market prices. The gap generates hundreds of billions of dollars in accounting gains without new taxpayer debt. That's the key right here. Budget neutral means it won't cost the taxpayers a dollar. The bill also ends the practice of auctioning off the seas Bitcoin. All future seizures would be transferred directly to the Strategic reserve instead of being liquidated by the U.S. marshal's office. Existing government holdings would be consolidated into a single audited ledger. Bitcoin and the reserve would be held for a minimum of 20 years. The bill establishes federal custody standards, including geographic distribution of private keys across air gap facilities multi signature governance requiring authorization from the treasury, the Fed and an independent third agency an investment in quantum resistant cryptographic upgrades. Representative Pat Harrigan, one of the co sponsors, said the US Government already holds billions and sees Bitcoin with no coherent strategy for managing it and that needs to change. That's right. Currently the US has roughly 320,000 bitcoin, making them the largest holder as far as nations one are concern. If you've been looking for an excuse to consolidate your assets, this is it.

Today's show is Pod, episode 2,345. I'm your host, JV. It's May 21, 2026, and also Congressman Mike Ruley announces his support for the strategic reserve bitcoin bill. He says while governments can print unlimited amounts of money, bitcoin supply is permanently fixed. And only took them 17 years to figure this out. It's about time. Welcome to the game. You know, kudos to Sailor. Check this out. He says dump all the US gold for 5 million bitcoin and the trade is free. And that's roughly 20% of the Bitcoin supply, by the way.
- [11:38]
Michael Saylor
So the very simple idea is buy 20 or 25% of the Bitcoin network on behalf of the US government, catalyze the development of that world reserve capital network, and then let all the Chinese and the Russians and the foreigners sell all their other assets and buy bitcoin. And then the money flows into the United States. If you want to put a great twist on it, dump your gold, sell all the US Gold, buy bitcoin, then the trade is free because you could buy 5 million bitcoin for the cost of the gold. You will demonetize the entire gold asset class. And our enemies hold gold in their banks, so their assets would go to zero. Our assets would go to $100 trillion, and we would control the world's reserve capital network as well as the world's reserve currency network.

A great example of game theory in place. And what happens when other countries start to see the writing on the wall? This is absolutely major. And do you think the United States will be more advantageous than just going after a million bitcoin and potentially going after 5 million, 20 to 25% of the entire bitcoin supply, as Sailor proposes. Let me know your thoughts. Here's him talking about the US should purchase 20% of all the bitcoin. In a different interview.
- [12:51]
Michael Saylor
The very simple thing that the US Ought to do is they ought to sell the gold and buy bitcoin with it and buy 20% of the Bitcoin network. It's very simple. Just swap the gold for bitcoin. If anybody actually swaps out their treasury bills for bitcoin, then the US Is going to own it all. It's kind of like just getting Alaska or the Louisiana Purchase for free. They could pretty much have 20% of the network for free overnight. Just with a swap they could even print the money. They could buy it for next to nothing.
- [13:19]
JV (Podcast Host)
There you go. Bitcoin is the new Fort Knox. Sailor just proposed two brilliant ideas. We either swap our goal reserves for the superior harder asset Bitcoin or we just print worthless fiat monopoly dollars and purchase up all the bitcoin we possibly can. This again is a great example of game theory. Elon Musk is SpaceX and Tesla together now hold 30,221 Bitcoin valid at 2.3 billion. If combined they would be the fifth largest public Bitcoin holder. And speaking of Elon, his SpaceX just filed for the largest IPO in history today a $2 trillion valuation. They're holding over 18,000 Bitcoin worth $1.4 billion. The first trillion dollar bitcoin company is here. Also this just in 5.6 trillion. State Street Corporation just disclosed it bought 1 million shares of Strive Ass, now holds a total of 1,7 million shares valued at $20 million. 770% position increase by the world's third largest institutional asset manager. So you're starting to see a pattern here. Let me know. And Also just in 60 billion dollar Coinbase just said the Bitcoin Clarity act will pass and the industry will explode. Millions will become their own bank. Billions will be made on crypto applications. All we do is win, win, win. No matter what bit. He's on my mind. I' ma never give them up. Yeah, Clarity act coming this summer. The perfect storm is here. And I personally feel this is the quiet before the storm. Let me know if you agree in the comments right down below. Billionaire Mark Cuban just dropped a massive warning against bitcoin. He says bitcoin lost the plot. I've sold most of my bitcoin. It's not the hedge I expected it to be.
- [15:08]
Mark Cuban
This might get some people upset. I think bitcoin has lost the plot. And when I started buying bitcoin and I've sold all of it, except not all of it, most of it it was because when all the shit hit the fan with the Iran war and you know, bitcoin was always the best alternative to fiat currency losing its value. And I always thought it was a better version of gold than gold. Well gold just blew up and went, you know, the $5,000 bitcoin dropped and every time the dollar dropped bitcoin should have gone up.
- [15:37]
JV (Podcast Host)
So Cuban gets nominated retard of the day and let me explain why. First of all, he's a con artist. He just blatantly lies to people because he's a part of that circle. You know, I'm not going to throw any names out there. There's an island, but it's not Gillions. But long story short, I remember when he was fighting bitcoin in the early years, comparing it to fucking bananas. He actually did a video on why you should buy bananas over bitcoin. And this was early on when bitcoin still wasn't nowhere near the price it is today. It and his thesis was bananas have true intrinsic value. You can eat them. Bitcoin, you can't eat them. So therefore bananas are more valuable and you should stay away from bitcoin. Now he's admitting he holds bitcoin, but that he, he allegedly sold most of it. But why do you still hold it if you don't see any value in it, Mark? That's because he's a part of the forces of evil. He's in the same club as Jimbo Kramer and the rest of the suits. And that's why I nominate Mark Cuban. Retard of the day. Let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments right down below. But as you can tell, I'm not a fan of Mark Cuban. Breaking billionaire Sailor said live on CNBC strategy will buy all 1 million bitcoin left to be mine. Digital credit will absorb the entire supply. This will continue forever. Sailor will buy 2 million Bitcoin which is roughly 8% of the entire supply.
- [17:02]
Michael Saylor
There is not much bitcoin left because at this point all of the organic supply of bitcoin being produced by the miners is being taken up by the bitcoin.
- [17:10]
JV (Podcast Host)
You bought more than was mined this year for strategy.
- [17:13]
Michael Saylor
Yeah, we have. Yeah. The formation of digital credit means that the credit market itself is absorbing all of the organic supply of bitcoin from now to forever with our company will probably buy all of the bitcoin gets produced by the miners between here and the year 2140. Then there's no more Bitcoin 2140.
- [17:30]
JV (Podcast Host)
And speaking of 2140, there's less than 1 million Bitcoin left to be mined between now and then. And Sailors are straight up saying we're buying it all because he's already outpacing the daily issuance being awarded to the miners, which is currently 450 Bitcoin produced per day. 3.125 per block virtually every 10 minutes. And that's about to get chopped in half again for the next having at roughly April of 2028. So as you can see, the perfect storm is here. Lots going on between the Strategic Reserve bill with the US targeting 5% of the supply, potentially as much as 25% as Saylor proposes. Combine that with Trump's executive order he just signed officially yesterday for bitcoin and crypto to usher in this new era of digital money. And then combine that with the Clarity act, which is expected to be past 75% odds of doing so this summer. That means the floodgates are opening and we're able to tap into hundreds of trillions of dollars, which is currently an untapped market, flowing into bitcoin. Today the market cap is roughly one and a half trillion, which is minuscule as I described a drop in the bucket. What happens when the bitcoin market cap is a hundred trillion dollars? Where do you think the bitcoin price will be by then? Let me know your thoughts in the comments right down below. Clementade says, I see some value in both bananas and bitcoin. I just buy more of the bitty over the nanas. I guess it's safe to say if Mark Cuban framed it differently to a monkey, what's more valuable, bitcoin or bananas? I'd be like, yeah, they're going to go with the bananas 10 out of 10 times 100%. But we're not fucking monkeys, right? We don't come from apes. God created us. Don't believe the evolution bullshit they teach us. We didn't morph from a fish into an ape and then eventually billions of years later, into human beings. We were created in God's image. Can I get an amen? What happens when governments stop selling bitcoin and start competing for it instead? What price do you think bitcoin reaches in that world?
