People keep asking this question, which I totally understand asking it, it’s a weird hypothetical. Do people ask what would the price of BTC be if we didn’t have a halving. Or if miners didn’t exist. MSTR IS buying BTC, moving from weak hands to strong and they don’t plan on selling. MSTR IS buying Bitcoin. Why not just work from there?
Shout out to @BitcoinConner for bringing this to our attention!
Even more concerning news today on the Bitcoin tax front. We’re going to need the Cyber Hornets for this one. 👇
Today’s new draft **leaves the double taxation on bitcoin mining in place** and only provides relief to staking.
So now the proposal is:
- De minimis for stablecoins but not Bitcoin
- Fixing tax treatment for “passive validation” (I.e. staking) but not Bitcoin mining
This contradicts all prior proposals on this issue. This is not tech neutral and picks winners and losers for no reason.
Full statement from BPI coming soon about @RepHorsford and @RepMaxMiller’s draft.
We need strong community push back to show that this language sets America and Bitcoin back.

My favorite bill of the day passes. HB396 allows small farms to process animals on site rather than mandating USDA facilities.
This eases the burden for farmers struggling to find butchers. It will make farm-to-table more affordable. MAHA

Hey @KamalaHarris,
You called me "the fentanyl dealer" in your new book and attacked President Trump for freeing me after more than *ELEVEN* years in prison.
Yet, I wasn't prosecuted for dealing drugs myself and fentanyl wasn't part of my charges.
The truth has never mattered to you. The goal is just to make me and President Trump look bad at all cost, isn't it?
Don't be a sore loser, Kamala.

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT: Institutional Approach to Crypto Lending with Cantor Fitzgerald, @coinbase, Galaxy and @ArchLending will take the stage at Crypto Finance Forum NYC.
Crypto lending has grown into a $60–80B market, but its path to becoming a $500B institutional opportunity is still taking shape. This panel brings together leaders from across the ecosystem to explore what it will take for lending to scale – from building risk frameworks and structuring credit products, to defining the role of CeFi and DeFi models.
Panelists:
-Michael Cunningham, Senior Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald
-Justin Davda, Senior Director of Product, Coinbase
-Max Bareiss, CPA, Director of Lending, Galaxy
-Dhruv Patel, Co-Founder & CEO, Arch
Moderator: Cheryl Lesnik, Partner, @PwC
Expect discussion on who the real borrowers are, how collateral is evolving from treasuries to Bitcoin, and whether banks, exchanges, or crypto-native lenders will ultimately define the future of this market. The panel will also explore whether CeFi, DeFi, or hybrid models of the two will become the dominant framework for institutional crypto lending – and what each model means for risk, scalability, and regulation.
📅 20 October (9am – 6.30pm)

Regulated asset managers - automate reporting for native staking rewards.
BlackRock is filing for staking in their ETH ETF.
Crypto funds are next.
But reporting staking rewards isn't simple. Here's what you need 👇

Bitcoin (and crypto) Treasury Company Common Issues:
A Thread:
Most companies screw it up.
Not because of the price…
…but because their ops are a mess.
Here’s the playbook for running a corporate crypto reserve without getting wrecked in audits or losing track of coins 🧵
Bottom line:
Buying BTC is easy.
Running a clean, scalable, audit-proof crypto reserve is hard.
Do it right → sleep at night.
