TOP STORY

Weekly Recap in Crypto

The original draft, teased by President Trump on March 2, included a basket of assets — BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP — all getting bundled together into one reserve.

But by the time Trump signed the executive order on March 6, the plan had shifted.

👉 Bitcoin stands alone with its own dedicated reserve.
👉 ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP? They’ve been reassigned to a secondary “crypto stockpile.”

Bitcoin officially became the main event. Everything else is now in the supporting cast.

Why the change of heart?

The pivot wasn’t random. After Trump’s initial announcement, the Bitcoin community pushed back hard, arguing that BTC’s status as digital gold would be undermined if lumped together with smaller, riskier assets.

Apparently, the message got through. By Thursday night, the executive order reflected that thinking — treating Bitcoin as a strategic asset in a class of its own.

The shift sent shockwaves through the market. After enjoying a quick rally on Sunday, ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP saw their prices tumble once news of the reserve split hit the wires.

More Bitcoin Wins This Week

If that wasn’t enough, Bitcoin collected a few more victories:

• El Salvador’s President Bukele confirmed the country will keep buying BTC, even after securing an IMF deal that many thought would force them to scale back.

• Texas lawmakers passed a bill creating the state’s own Bitcoin Reserve, kicking off what could become a nationwide trend — over 20 states are reportedly exploring similar plans.

• Fold — the popular Bitcoin rewards app — added 475 BTC to its corporate treasury, making it a top 10 public Bitcoin holder.

Bitcoin’s DeFi Moment

Traditional finance is getting more creative with Bitcoin, too. Lombard Finance announced a liquid-staking Bitcoin token (LBTC), set to launch on the Sui blockchain. That’s the same Sui that just got added to the Trump-owned World Liberty Financial Asset Reserve, a move that boosted Sui’s token price.

Elsewhere in Crypto

• DoubleZero Foundation, a stealth startup building a next-generation blockchain-powered internet, raised $28 million at a $400 million valuation — and they’re already courting more investors.

• Meanwhile, Sam Bankman-Fried (yes, him) made headlines again, calling into Tucker Carlson from prison as part of a media blitz aimed at securing a presidential pardon. After years backing Democratic campaigns, SBF now seems to be courting the GOP. Whether that strategy works is anyone’s guess.

Trump’s Crypto Summit

Trump’s Crypto Summit is still well underway in the White House. We hoped we could report on the updates in today’s edition already, however we decided to move that to Monday.

Until then, let’s just say that Trump announced: America will follow the rule that every Bitcoiner knows: “Never sell your Bitcoin.”

Talk to you on Monday!
