THE BIG STORIES:

SAYLOR STRIKES AGAIN

Strategy just bought another 397 Bitcoin for $45.6 million at $114,771 per coin - buying ABOVE today's price! Total holdings now: 641,205 BTC (3.05% of total supply) with 26.1% YTD gains. While everyone obsesses about timing the bottom, Saylor is building an empire.

STEAK N SHAKE GOES FULL BITCOIN

In a historic first, major restaurant chain Steak n Shake launches a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve funded by Lightning Network payments! Lower fees, higher engagement, and they're HODLING the Bitcoin they receive. This is how adoption happens - real businesses, real products, real Bitcoin.

BLACKROCK'S MASSIVE MOVES

The world's largest asset manager deposited 1,198 BTC ($129M) to Coinbase Prime and announced plans for a Bitcoin ETF in Australia. The giant is fully awake and accumulating.

VIVEK'S BRILLIANT PLAY

Ramaswamy's Strive is offering Perpetual Preferred Stock via IPO - using proceeds to buy more Bitcoin! Modeled on Strategy's approach, this is financial engineering that actually makes sense.

THE FED SHOWS WHY BITCOIN MATTERS

$29.4 billion injected into the banking system via overnight repos - more than at the height of the Dot-Com Bubble. They're literally proving Satoshi right in real-time. This is why Bitcoin exists.

HASHRATE SCREAMING BUY

Bitcoin's hashrate just hit new all-time highs while price is down 15% from ATH. Miners are more confident than ever, investing in equipment and securing the network. Follow the miners - they're not selling, they're accumulating.

SHORT SQUEEZE INCOMING

$8 billion in Bitcoin shorts would be liquidated with just a 5% rally to $117,000. These gamblers are betting against mathematics and about to learn an expensive lesson.

Bitcoin crushed gold and obliterated cash. Consistency beats timing.

THE TAKEAWAY

Extreme fear = extreme opportunity. While weak hands panic-sell, institutions stack. While traders gamble with leverage, builders accumulate. While altcoins promise the moon, Bitcoin delivers sovereignty.

Michael Saylor is buying. BlackRock is accumulating. Miners are expanding. Restaurants are HODLing. The hashrate is soaring. And you're worried about a 3% dip?

This is how generational wealth is built - by staying focused when everyone else is distracted, by understanding fundamentals when others chase hype, by having a low time preference when the world demands instant gratification.

Twenty-one million Bitcoin. No more. No less. Fixed forever. You either get it or you don't. The market doesn't care about your feelings - it only rewards those who understand what money is supposed to be.

NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR BITCOIN. Get off exchanges. Self-custody your stack. Take responsibility for your financial sovereignty.
