Episode notes
US Mentions A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
- Scott Bessent publicly framed a "Bitcoin strategic reserve" funded by confiscated assets and not new purchases.
- He estimated the reserve value at roughly $15–20 billion, which sparked questions about actual US holdings.
Bessent's Figure Implies Fewer US Bitcoins
- The hosts calculated Bessent's $15–20B figure implies the US may hold far fewer bitcoins than public tallies suggest.
- That raises doubts about previous estimates (around 198k BTC) and potential sales or discrepancies.
Watch Actions, Not Political Messaging
- The government may publicly deny stacking Bitcoin while privately using game theory and budget-neutral methods.
- Political messaging often masks strategy; watch actions rather than statements.
