13:40

In this episode, Nik explores the growing movement among U.S. states to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves, with 20 proposed bills representing up to $23 billion in potential Bitcoin purchases. He breaks down the states pushing these initiatives, the legislative progress of key bills, and the impact of these reserves on state budgets and pension funds. The discussion moves to the broader implications of government Bitcoin adoption, the limited daily supply available, and how these purchases could drive significant price pressure. Closing with insights on global adoption, Nik examines how Bitcoin reserve strategies are spreading beyond the U.S., with signs of interest from Japan, Russia, and other nations.
