Episode notes
Treasury Backflip Signals Real Policy Shift
- The Treasury first said it would not buy Bitcoin, then reversed to explore budget-neutral buys the same day.
- That rapid policy U-turn signals active nation-state interest and shifts market expectations fast.
Budget-Neutral Is A Purchase Playbook
- 'Budget neutral' means acquiring Bitcoin while offsetting spending elsewhere, not refusing to spend.
- Mechanisms include gold revaluation, tariffs, reallocations, asset swaps, or Bitcoin bonds to avoid new appropriations.
Seized Coins Limit Purchases Unless Gold Is Revalued
- Legal limits currently restrict purchases to forfeited coins, roughly 15% of seized Bitcoin.
- Revaluing gold would bypass that legal bottleneck and unlock other acquisition paths.
