As of early 2026, there are now more than 190 publicly-listed companies worldwide that hold Bitcoin in their treasuries, up from just 74 at the beginning of 2025. Still, this is just 0.35% of the roughly 100,000 publicly-listed companies worldwide. There will only ever be 21,000,000 Bitcoin and 20,000,000 of those have now been mined into supply, with the remaining 1,000,000 to be mined over the next 114 years. Each 1.0 Bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 smaller units (like dollars/cents) called “sats”. What happens to the value/price of Bitcoin when the number of publicly-listed companies holding some Bitcoin (any amount) as a reserve asset increases to 1%, 2%, 5% or more. What happens when the roughly 1% of the world’s 8 billion people who currently hold some Bitcoin increases to 2%, 5%, 10% or more. You do the math. Suffice to say, Bitcoin is a $10,000,000 (or more) asset currently on sale for $70,000. Have a nice day! 😊

Fascinating discussion. The paper argues that Bitcoin is the first system where time exists as a series of discrete, irreversible energy events (blocks). This means that Bitcoin is not just digital gold, a money and payment network, but also a foundational measurement system tying energy, entropy, time, and memory into one bounded ledger. 🔗 https://bitcoinlens.net 📝 ebf8d5b3…

For those tracking #Bitcoin exchange rate with top fiat currencies, we’re now at 40% from all time $BTC high, the last difficulty adjustment was down 3.28%, and we’re about to see another ~14% adjustment down. All of this suggests to me we saw some significant miner capitulation and exchange rate is bottoming.

In which parts of the world is #Bitcoin $BTC the best form of money? The results are in!!! #GlobalBCESummit #AfricaBCESummit https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT-NTljjCve/

Absolutely agree, and it can be both X and Nostr…but we need more energy building on Nostr. At @Federation of Bitcoin Circular Economies we’re working hard to make sure all Bitcoin. Circular Economies are active on Nostr. Thanks as well @UNCLE ROCKSTAR for helping mentor BCEs on how to improve their tech stack and optimize their payments, custody, privacy and security. We really appreciate your support at @BTCPay Server. 🙏 📝 cc2a1717…

While far too many people are gazing at #Bitcoin charts, Bitcoin Circular Economies (BCEs) are building the global “peer-to-peer electronic cash” movement that Satoshi envisioned. If you’re not tuned into #GlobalBCESummit, #AfricaBCESummit, and #spedn this week, you’re missing the true signal!

Fascinating that an asset being stockpiled by China, Russia and central banks in several other countries — while those countries step away from US treasuries and markets — can now “technically” be created in a lab. Potential geopolitical game-changer? As far as I’m concerned, yet another reason that #gold will soon be on the downtrend. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/big-bang-large…

“Stablecoins, which merely peg themselves to these fiat currencies, inherit their structural weakness. Stablecoins are not digital islands of stability; they are tethered to melting ice cubes, losing purchasing power at precisely the same rate as the fiat currencies they shadow… …And beyond this economic decay lies a more profound, sinister geopolitical danger: stablecoins do not merely inherit the debasement of their underlying fiat currencies—they also inherit and amplify the systems of monetary and political colonialism those currencies sustain. Whether through the U.S. dollar, the Chinese yuan, the CFA franc, or other hegemonic monetary regimes, stablecoins risk re-entrenching patterns of dependence and external control at precisely the moment when communities and nations around the world are seeking pathways to liberation and self-determination.” 📙 https://progressivebitcoiner.org/stablecoins-new-monetary…

“We’re not even thinking of thinking of bringing this bad boy in on budget. How high could it get? Probably about this high?”

CALL TO ACTION: “People and organizations committed to community empowerment, human rights, global development, and economic justice now face a defining choice. Will they continue to participate—actively or passively—in monetary systems that entrench dependency, extract value from the vulnerable, and reproduce neo-colonial power dynamics in digital form? Or will they choose a fundamentally different path?"… “Bitcoin offers that alternative.”… “The time for passive observation has passed. The responsibility now is to study Bitcoin seriously, to understand what is at stake, and to act accordingly.” ✅ https://progressivebitcoiner.org/stablecoins-new-monetary…

Peace. Love. Joy.

“The world does not need more digital chains. It needs digital emancipation. Bitcoin is not merely a technology. It is a declaration—an assertion that a more sovereign, more just, and more humane global monetary order is possible. But that future is not inevitable. It must be chosen, defended, and built.” https://progressivebitcoiner.org/stablecoins-new-monetary…

My latest article is out, published via @The Progressive Bitcoiner. Thanks for reading and sharing! 🙏 “Stablecoins & New Monetary Empires: Why Bitcoin Matters More Than Ever” https://progressivebitcoiner.org/stablecoins-new-monetary…

There are also many reasons why it’s far more ethical to store one’s value/wealth in Bitcoin than silver. I guess another article is in order. https://progressivebitcoiner.org/bitcoin-over-gold-an-eth…

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto by Eric Hughes (9 March, 1993) Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world. If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to. Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must _always_ reveal myself. Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy. Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature. We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor. We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do. We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money. Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down. Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible. For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals. The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace. Onward. Eric Hughes <hughes@soda.berkeley.edu> #freesamourai #bitcoin #privacy

My latest article via @The Progressive Bitcoiner. “What Would St. Jude (Judith Milhon) Think About Bitcoin?” https://progressivebitcoiner.org/what-would-st-jude-think… “If Jude Milhon’s life teaches anything, it is that freedom technologies do not remain liberating by default. They remain so only when people choose—again and again—to widen the circle, to lower barriers, and to treat participation not as a privilege, but as a shared right and responsibility.”

If you believe the world should move toward freedom, opportunity, value, and cooperation you save and spend in #Bitcoin. If you are happy with centralized control, incumbent systems, and have a cynical view about the future of humanity, you hold #gold. https://progressivebitcoiner.org/bitcoin-over-gold-an-eth…

Excited to share a powerful new publication from my friend and colleague Dr. Emma Apatu @Emma , founder of @MedSchlr and professor of public health at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In “The Invisible Health Tax: How Our Money Impacts Health and Why Sound Money Could Transform Well-Being – An Exploratory Examination”, available at https://www.medschlr.org/publication/d/the-invisible-heal… Emma argues that we need to go further upstream and fix the money and our social platforms in order to improve individual, family and community health. Emma strongly positions #Bitcoin and #Nostr as keys to our brighter, healthier future. Please read and share her article, and show your appreciation with some zaps to @Emma via her post on Nostr below as this is a value-for-value undertaking. Make sure to follow her and @MedSchlr as well. 🙏🧡 cc @jack @jack mallers @primal @Snort @Damus @Derek Ross @ODELL @Jeff Booth @Dr. Jeff @preston @Lawrence Lepard @The Progressive Bitcoiner @Lyn Alden @CARLA⚡️ @walker @UNCLE ROCKSTAR 📝 352b775b…
