But then comes the crash. There are injuries, a stay in the hospital, the long road to recovery. The moments you'll miss. Suddenly a ticket doesn't seem so bad. That ticket that was to remind you to buckle up before it's too late. Click it or ticket paid for by nhtsa. Most people still think Bitcoin is competing for investor attention. That's the old framework. The new framework, strategic accumulation and control. Because once governments start thinking about Bitcoin, the way they think about gold or oil, price stops behaving normally. And what you're about to hear makes that very clear. Check this out. 5% of all the Bitcoin. That's what U.S. lawmakers want. America to control the goal. Make America the global bitcoin leader. Let that really sink in. Not exposure, not an ETF allocation control. Because Senator Lum said President Trump wants America to acquire, what, 1 million Bitcoin over the next five years. That's roughly 200,000 acquired per year with a 20 year huddle, just FYI. And the justification to help strengthen America's balance sheet. And that's not even the most important part. The most important part is this. We must be the global leader. And Sailor says if America actually wants to lead, 1 million Bitcoin isn't enough. He says the US should ultimately acquire 20 to 25% of the entire Bitcoin network. Now let that sink in. Not 5%. A quarter of all the bitcoin. That really changes everything. Because once bitcoin becomes a national strategic objective, the conversation changes completely. This stops being an investment conversation. This becomes about who controls the hardest money first. Here's where this gets serious. Because governments don't think like retail investors. They don't ask, should we dca? They ask, how do we acquire strategic assets. Open market buying, seize bitcoin, gold swaps, strategic reserves, geopolitical leverage. That's a completely different framework. And here's what most people still don't understand. This isn't really about America. America is just the trigger. Because if the US moves to secure 5% of the total bitcoin supply. What does China do? What does Russia and Saudi Arabia do? And the sovereign wealth funds the central banks. Do they just sit still and and watch? Or do they realize the game has changed because Bitcoin doesn't care who wants it. There's only 21 million. And not all of those coins move. Millions are gone, forever lost, dormant, held by the long term. Huddlers who refuse to sell ETFs are absorbing supply. Sailor now controls 843,738bitcoin through strategy. Public companies keep adding Bitcoin. And now nation states are openly entering the conversation. This is where things get dangerous. Cuz scarcity doesn't break when everyone arrives. It breaks when enough powerful buyers arrive all at once. That's how repricing happens. Not politely, violently. And if America's thesis is secure Bitcoin before the rest of the world does, then every other nation faces the same problem. Wait and pay more later or move now. That's the game theory. And that's why this matters. Because. Because once Bitcoin becomes a strategic reserve race, price discovery changes forever. No longer what's the bitcoin fair value. It now becomes how much can we secure before our rivals do. That's how asset wars begin. Gold had this phase, oil had this phase, Trade routes had this phase. And now Bitcoin does. And if America really commits to becoming the global Bitcoin leader, the public won't be competing against retail traders. They'll be competing against governments, against entities willing to buy Bitcoin at any price necessary. Sailor even says $8 million Bitcoin is still cheap. That's a completely different battlefield. So the real question isn't will Bitcoin go higher? The real question is what happens to Bitcoin when the world's largest powers start competing for fixed supply? So if this all sounds like a crazy theory, perfect. Because theories don't matter, data does. And once you see what's already happening under the surface, this stops sounding crazy real fast. Look at this. Senator Lummis reveals President Trump wants America to buy 1 million Bitcoin over the next five years. She says this will address our national debt. We must be the global leader.
Michael Saylor
I'm particularly pleased with President Trump's support of my strategic Bitcoin reserve initiative, which will address our national debt while securing

We should be the global leader. That's right. Control your money, control your destiny and have self sovereignty. The alternative CBDCs and stablecoins aka enslaved. The way to unplug from that matrix and claim your sovereignty is through bitcoin. And here's the ironic part. The USA is already the global leader as far as nations are concerned. They have over 320000 Bitcoin which they acquired by seizure. If this act passes for the Bitcoin strategic reserve bill they're going to acquire another 1 million bitcoin. That's virtually 200000 bitcoin over the course of five years. And they must huddle it for a minimum of 20 years. What's that going to do to the rest of the world as game theory accelerates? You think China is just going to sit back and watch? Or Russia, Saudi Arabia, the uae, Brazil? I think not. US legislators pushing to lock in the Bitcoin strategic reserve Rep. Nick wants to stockpile 5% of all the Bitcoin matching America's gold reserves. This is from Fox News. The administration is pushing for global crypto dominance he in the US 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. So as you can see the bullish headwinds across the board between the strategic Bitcoin reserve bill being reintroduced right now as well as the Clarity act which will move on to the Senate and to the House this summer. We have a strong possibility for all this to pass and for America to to lead the way as the dominant superpower. The treasury is currently sucking up crypto assets tied to Iran through Operation Economic Fury. Beckich's plan seize the Ayatollah's crypto and drop it straight into the US balance sheet. And very interesting, they reference seizing Iran's cryptocurrency. How does one go about doing that you may ask like how can you seize other people's bitcoin? Well they can't if it's properly self custied. However if they put guns to their leaders heads and say hand over your private keys and the military has that type of power obviously. So just something to consider. But what they can do is sanction the exchange and follow the crypto because everything's on a public ledger. If they identified these hundreds of millions of dollars belong to Iran and they can follow it on chain and then they can contact the exchanges they're using to make the trades or whatever they may be doing, they can sanction the exchange because governments cannot control bitcoin. The only thing they can do is control the exchanges, which are the on ramps and off ramps of the crypto. So that's what it sounds like they're trying to do. Now.

It's May 25, 2026. 10 trillion dollar Morgan Stanley confirms they're recommending a 4% Bitcoin allocation to clients. This is one of the largest banks in America now openly pro btc. Check this out. Our wealth management platform is an open architecture platform but interestingly enough that those first days of trading all of that is self directed. So the advisors are still very limited in their exposure to allocating to bitcoin at this point, even though the one thing to mention is we have made recommendations on allocation too. I know we were talking about allocation to Bitcoin of 2 to 4%. Morgan Stanley, the $10 trillion giant suggesting up to 4% allocation to their clients. And also as we covered yesterday, Russia's largest bank is now openly suggesting up to 7% allocation to their clients. Breaking news. Trump said the existing financial system has reached its limit and a crypto driven era is coming next. He states that finance is shifting fully on chain with blockchain at its core. Check it out.
Michael Saylor
Many Americans are unaware that behind the scenes the technical backbone of the financial system is decades out of date. Many, many years out of date. You know that Paul and others are straightening it out. But payments and money transfers are costly and take days or even weeks to. Under this bill, the entire ancient system will be eligible for a 21st century upgrade using the state of the art crypto technology. Who would have thought we would have been saying that?
JV (Host)
So who would have thought we have a completely pro bitcoin administration, bipartisan support all across Congress, Nation state adoption is happening. It's openly being talked about all across the world and hopefully the USA leads the way. We shall see. Billionaire Elon SpaceX is filing to go public with over 18,000 Bitcoin on the balance sheet. That's $1.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, the next massive public bitcoin company. Now that's a drop in the bucket for the world's richest man, but it's something. What are your thoughts on SpaceX going public? They're estimating it's going to go public worth trillions of dollars right off the rift. And do you think he'll likely add more bitcoin to the company? Let me know your thoughts. You already know how I feel personally. You know, Elon is a holder of bitcoin, but at the same time he openly promotes a shitcoin called Doge, which is really just a joke and I don't find it so hilarious because there's a lot of people who follow his influence just because he's the world's richest man and they think he's so intelligent. And all I got to say is f around find out there's bitcoin and everything else. But remember, as Michael Saylor once said,
Michael Saylor
what's the second best? There is no second best. There's no second best crypto asset.
JV (Host)
And speaking of sailor, he says looking forward to bitcoin summer. Endless summer is here. Do you think the Clarity act will likely pass this summer, and there is a 75% chance it does, according to the betting markets. I just want to throw that out there. Sailor suggests the US should purchase 20% of all the Bitcoin. So we're not talking 1 million. He's like, F that. Go after 4 million. Check it out.
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.
JV (Host)
And he just proposed two wonderful ideas. One of them is swapping our gold reserves for bitcoin. Our gold reserves were priced back in 1972 when gold was like $44 an ounce. Now in 2026, it's closer to $4,500 an ounce. That creates a $1.17 trillion accounting gap. What if we were to take that and put that all into bitcoin? The bitcoin market cap would effectively double overnight, sending the bitcoin price parabolic. That's one idea. Swap our gold reserves, if they're even there, for bitcoin. And number two, we just swap our T bills, our treasury bills, or print worthless fiat monopoly dollars and buy the hardest asset known to mankind, which is bitcoin. It doesn't cost you anything, doesn't cost taxpayers any money. Both those ideas are net neutral strategies perfectly in alignment with the strategic bitcoin reserve bill. Let me know if you think the United States will do one of those two methods and raise their target from 1 million Bitcoin to essentially 4 million or even 5 million, which would be 25 of the entire network. Nig Bokele on Fox, when he was interviewed by Tucker Carlson, says the Federal Reserve is nothing federal and has no reserves. They print more money and then they rob you from your wealth and from your savings. That's immoral. Preach Bukele. The Federal Reserve is nothing federal and has no reserves. They rob you from your wealth and from your savings. And that's immoral. But it's not only immoral, but it also destroys some basic economic principles, like, for example, saving or your pension. In a nutshell, he is right. The Federal Reserve is Nothing federal and has no reserves. And the US doesn't need to charge its citizens taxes. They can just print the money out of thin air. The tax money we send them. All it's doing is funding their wars and feeding Epstein's clients who are running this show. That's all I'm saying.

Progressive makes it easy to see if you can save when you bundle your home and auto policies. Try it@progressive.com Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates. Potential savings will vary. Not available in all states. Now check this out. Eric Trump says it would take a catastrophe to sell bitcoin. Mass adoption is here.
Eric Trump
We are American bitcoin. We believe in bitcoin, you know, come hell or high water. It would take us a lot, a lot to have to sell our treasury. The only goal of our entire company is to grow that treasury. While you see this entire ecosystem around the world. I mean, you see what retail investors are doing, you see what institutional investors are doing. You see the largest banks in the country that are hoarding bitcoin. You see Fortune 500 companies that are putting it on its honest treasuries like never before. You see, you know, market structure, legislation. You see every country in the world that's starting to follow the United States and embrace cryptocurrencies in ways that the mass adoption of cryptocurrency and bitcoin specifically because bitcoin is clearly winning that race.
JV (Host)
There you have it. I love Eric Trump's conviction in bitcoin and his bullishness. The crazy part is during the Biden administration, the bitcoin price was higher and there was a war against bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Now we have the most bullish bitcoin administration in existence and the price is only $77,000. Isn't that crazy or what? I think when people least expect it, bitcoin's gonna start ripping like a new Scottie Pippen. Billionaire Grant Cardone revealed that he plans to buy another 450 million worth Bitcoin this year. He says he's got to get to 10,000 BTC.
Michael Saylor
Only been doing this for 11 months. I think I'll be at 10,000 coins by the end of the year. The goal used to be to have 100,000 apartments. Now the goal is 25,000 pristine apartments in perfect locations and 10,000 bitcoin.
JV (Host)
So there you go. Even the real estate moguls see the writing on the wall with bitscoin the apex predator. And the real estate market is north of $370 trillion. And Bitcoin is demonetizing it, or should I say eviscerating it in real time. And you could look at any of those graphs where it shows you how much bitcoin it took to purchase the average home in America 10 years ago, five years ago, and today it's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of what it used to cost. And in the future we may be able to buy the average home in America for 0.1 Bitcoin. Your purchasing power in Bitcoin is accelerating while you're purchasing power in the dollar and is decelerating. Bitcoin has no top, fiat has no bottom. I'll just revert to the catchphrases. Strategy CEO Fung Lee is personally holding STRC over paying down his mortgage. He says 1.75 mortgage rate versus 11 and a half percent strc yield. Why pay down debt at 1.75 when you can earn 11 and a half percent? Let the yield do the work. I just last week bought $250,000 of stretch. And the reason I did it, one was just to sort of go through the experience, which I enjoy doing. But the second have monthly obligations. And I said, well, I have a 1.75% 30 year mortgage and if I can instead of paying down that mortgage, put it into an instrument that pays me 11.5%, that's 10x my mortgage rate. I'm essentially making money by taking the money, putting it into stretch, getting 11 and a half percent and paying off my 1.75% mortgage. So if you're not familiar with that Asian man, that's Fung Li. He is the CEO of Strategy. And STRC has achieved raising eight and a half billion dollars their first nine months, which is unprecedented. And then Sailor just uses all those proceeds to fund his bitcoin acquisition strategy. And that's how he's able to purchase so much Bitcoin. He's tapping into digital credit and massive pools of capital north of a hundred trillion dollars versus only going after the store value market, which is capped at like 35 trillion via with gold. And let's not forget gold is the Poor man's Bitcoin. CZ says Bitcoin will hit a million for the next 20 to 50 years. Bitcoin will continue to go up future. I don't see BTC going away. So for the next 20, 50 years, I think bitcoin will continue to go up. And FYI, CZ is the richest man in crypto. He is the founder of Bance, as Janet Yellen calls it. And he actually is the richest man to ever serve jail time. When there was that lawsuit with the DOJ shaking him down for billions of dollars, he had to pay that, serve a few months in jail and he was the richest man to ever go behind bars. Very interesting. Right now here's the day, an old man by the name of Dan Pena, this is back November of 2018. Bitcoin was $3,800 and he's on stage screaming at one of his events. Bitcoin's going to zero.
Michael Saylor
And I know who's behind bitcoin and it ain't some Japanese guy in a cave. I know the guy. And when that comes out, you heard it here first. Bitcoin is going to zero. Zero when it comes out. Zero.
JV (Host)
There you have it. Dan Pena, retard of the day. Think about all the idiots who took advice from him and missed out on Bitcoin back in 2018 at $3,800, I feel sorry for you. Never listen to a suit, especially when he is screaming at you. If you're going to listen to someone scream, it better be Max Keiser screaming on the gold debate against Peter Schiff because Max wears no suit. Just saying. But there you have it. Yo. You're starting to recognize this game theory is genuinely playing out. The United States wants to maintain its bitcoin super dominance across the world by stockpiling over a million bitcoin. Whether that's more seizures or swapping gold reserves or trading T bills by any means necessary. We need to have at least 1 million bitcoin on the balance sheet. We can't let Sailor or Larry Fink, you know, make the United States look bad because they hold so much more bitcoin than the US and especially considering the US can print unlimited money out of thin air and just trade it for the superior apex predator. What's going to happen when the game theory truly kicks in all around the world and nations are accelerating to get a piece of that finite limited supply asset we know is bitcoin. If the United States starts treating bitcoin like strategic infrastructure, what happens when China decides it needs some bitcoin too? We talk in one million dollar Bitcoin. Five million or higher.
