🌍A CRYPTO EARTHQUAKE JUST HIT💥

If you read our update last week you will know that something BIG was brewing in the Crypto space.

What just happened made crypto history.

On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that could reshape the future of Bitcoin:

• The U.S. now has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for any seized Bitcoin.

• No more government $BTC sell-offs.

• The Treasury can now develop ways to buy Bitcoin—without spending taxpayer money.

• A General Crypto Reserve is also being created, holding other seized crypto assets.

Translation: The U.S. just made its first official Bitcoin move—and it’s taxpayer neutral.

Check out the full clip below:

But - did the market react? 

Not in the way you’d expect.

But this changes EVERYTHING.

How Will the U.S. Treasury Buy More Bitcoin?

If no tax money can be used, then what?

We speculated on how the government could still stack sats:

• Gold revaluation → Take out new loans using gold as collateral → Buy Bitcoin.

• Lower the Federal Reserve’s cash surplus → Redirect spending → Some goes to Bitcoin.

• Bitcoin bonds → Sell bonds to raise crypto capital.

However, the reserve will be funded exclusively with Bitcoin previously seized by the US government.

AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks confirmed:

Right now, the U.S. government is in possession of approximately 200,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $17.7 billion.

According to Sacks it is set to function as a “Digital Fort Knox.”

However, this does not mean that the U.S. government won’t be acquiring more Bitcoin in the future.

As outlined in the Executive Order Fact Sheet:

What About the Altcoins?

The Executive Order has also created a separate “Digital Asset Stockpile” to hold seized cryptocurrencies such as ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA.

However, there are two key differences between this stockpile and the Bitcoin Reserve:

1. The U.S. government WILL NOT acquire additional assets for the Digital Asset Stockpile—it will only be funded through seized assets.

2. The assets in this stockpile CAN BE SOLD.

Here are some reactions from the Crypto Community:

Michael Saylor:

Ryan Rasmussen, Bitwise Head of Research:

Senator Cynthia Lummis:

Of course, Congress needs to approve these moves, so it’s not guaranteed.

This is a monumental move for the future of finance.

GOVERNMENTS ARE ENTERING
THE MARKET

Bitcoin has always been about early adoption, and we’re entering the next phase—where governments start accumulating it.

Today’s executive order just set off a chain reaction.

Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, responded to the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, outlining four key takeaways:

🔸 A nation-state race for Bitcoin has begun
🔸 The U.S. has publicly shared its strategy, opening the door for competitors
🔸 Expect geopolitical FOMO—countries won’t want to be left behind
🔸 This could redefine the global financial landscape

Brian Armstrong, Coinbase’s CEO, agrees.

He expects major economies to start accumulating Bitcoin, just like central banks hold gold.

And guess what?

• Brazil approved a Bitcoin reserve yesterday.

• Now China is rumored to be discussing the same thing.

We’ll report more on these developments as they come in.

For retail and institutional investors alike, this is a critical moment.

The opportunity to front-run sovereign nations won’t last forever.

Act now—or risk missing out on history.

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.

Bitcoin adoption just went nuclear. 🚀

BITCOIN ADOPTION ON THS RISE📈

A key on-chain metric we track is the number of Bitcoin wallets with a nonzero balance.

This data helps assess network activity and adoption trends, but with one caveat—
A wallet doesn’t necessarily mean a unique user, as individuals can own multiple addresses.

So, the real insight lies in trends over time:

• More addresses 📈 = Growing adoption

• Fewer addresses 📉 = Either selling or wallet consolidation

Current On-Chain Metrics

• 52,559,138 addresses hold Bitcoin today

• That’s an increase of 17,669 wallets in two weeks

• However, year-to-date, we’ve seen a decline of 65,706 wallets 😱

At first glance, this might seem concerning, but it aligns with the 2025 market downturn and broader macro uncertainty.

Long-Term Outlook

Despite short-term fluctuations, the overall trajectory remains up and to the right.

Bitcoin adoption continues—just at a slower pace for now. 🚀

FEAR TAKING OVER CRYPTO

Despite this monumental move by the White House fear has taken over the market, and Bitcoin price is spiraling down reaching a low of ~$80,000 at time of writing.

If history repeats itself, the worst may not be over yet.

That's the latest word from Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision.

Fear is gripping the market, and Bitcoin is feeling the pressure. The fear and greed index has plunged to 20, indicating extreme fear among investors.

Historically, these moments of panic have marked key turning points for Bitcoin, with sharp rebounds often following deep corrections.

And it's not just crypto.

Stocks are seeing the same wave of bearish sentiment, with 80 percent of market surveys showing extreme pessimism.

While another drop isn't off the table, the setup for a potential reversal is forming.

When sentiment reaches this level of fear, it's often a sign that the worst may already be priced in.
