I wonder if Buffett’s healthy enough to handle this, I’m not sure I am? Dems don’t understand the risk to this news? For anyone who has had to deal with the SEC, Nasd, the states division of securities, etc, it’s off the charts insane that this isn’t in the major news. Imagine if Dems actually understood how dangerous and horrific this is? “ As of August 2025, Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (which trades under the ticker DJT on the Nasdaq), has accumulated approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and related securities. 
This investment is part of the company's Bitcoin treasury plan, announced in May, aiming to increase financial flexibility, protect against potential financial discrimination, and create synergies with a planned utility token for the Truth Social platform. The Bitcoin holdings represent about two-thirds of the company's liquid assets. 
This move marks a shift in approach from Trump, who previously expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies. The company plans to continue acquiring Bitcoin and also has set aside $300 million for an options acquisition strategy for Bitcoin-related securities. In related news, a cryptocurrency mining company linked to the Trump family, American Bitcoin, is exploring acquisitions in Asia to further boost its Bitcoin holdings.

What might happen once Powell is gone?

“The US Federal Reserve will not be building a Bitcoin reserve, according to the Treasury Secretary. While the government is establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve using seized assets, the Treasury Secretary stated the government will not be purchasing additional Bitcoin for this reserve. Furthermore, the Fed itself is not seeking to hold Bitcoin or change its laws to allow it to do so.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
No Fed Purchase:
The Federal Reserve, which is the US central bank, will not be purchasing Bitcoin to add to any government reserves.
Strategic Reserve:
The US government is establishing a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" but this will be built from Bitcoin seized in criminal cases, not through new purchases, according to the Treasury Secretary.
No Fed Change in Policy:
The Fed's inability to hold Bitcoin is due to the Federal Reserve Act, which dictates what the Fed can own. The Fed is not seeking a change in the law to allow it to hold Bitcoin, says Fed Chair Powell.
Trump's Executive Order:
President Trump signed an executive order in March establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve comprised of seized assets. “

Also, how much damage has team trump done to iconic American brands, globally? During the next two quarters we should find out if demand is down? We do know Vegas has been soft, Canadian travel is down for obvious reasons.

“ Wall Street ramped up its exposure to bitcoin in the second quarter, adding positions not only in spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but also in U.S. stocks closely tied to the cryptocurrency’s price, according to new filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Brevan Howard nearly doubled its position in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) during the second quarter, according to a securities filing. The macro-focused hedge fund held 37.9 million shares at the end of June, up from about 21.5 million in March.
The stake was worth more than $2.6 billion based on IBIT’s closing price on June 28, making Brevan Howard one of the largest reported institutional holders of IBIT alongside Goldman Sachs, which boosted its position to $3.3 billion in IBIT and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC). The banking giant also held $489 million worth of the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), according to a filing.
Goldman’s ownership of the ETFs isn’t necessarily a direct wager by its trading desk on bitcoin’s price; rather, it more likely represents positions held by Goldman Sachs Asset Management on behalf of its clients.
Brevan Howard, best known for macro trading, however, has long been active in the crypto space and operates a dedicated digital asset division called BH Digital. The unit manages billions in assets and invests in blockchain infrastructure, decentralized finance and related technologies.” https://stocks.apple.com/A_yY6VvHWS2yzUGP1oqJ-lg
