⚡️ 2,100 sats. To one person. For opening an email. Not split. Not a raffle. Whoever opens this newsletter first takes the entire pot. Used to be 21 sats to everyone who opened early. Nice. Safe. But that's fiat thinking wearing a Bitcoin skin: free money for just showing up. Bitcoin doesn't work that way. At the protocol level, one winner takes the block reward, every ten minutes, since 2009. Pools split earnings among themselves after the fact, sure, but the chain itself only ever pays one winner per block. Now The Bitcoin Act runs the same way. First to open, wins it all. Set an alarm. Link's in the replies.
👀 Trump Discloses Over $100M in Bitcoin Holdings Trump’s latest annual financial disclosure, filed with the Office of Government Ethics, lists Bitcoin holdings valued at more than $100 million. These reports are mandatory for the President and senior federal officials. They require full disclosure of personal assets and income sources to maintain public transparency around potential conflicts of interest. The appearance of substantial Bitcoin positions in the filing shows how Bitcoin is now handled as a standard reportable asset under existing ethics rules. The same document reports more than $1.4 billion in total income across the 2025 reporting period. This aggregate figure combines earnings from several distinct sources tied to the President’s financial interests. Annual disclosures of this scale provide a clear public snapshot of how those interests performed during the year. One of the largest sources listed is World Liberty Financial, the company co-founded with his sons. The filing attributes over $500 million in income directly to this entity for the reporting period. This amount reflects returns generated through the family’s ownership stake in the venture. The disclosure also records approximately $635 million in proceeds from the sale of the TRUMP memecoin. These figures represent realized gains from transactions involving that specific token during the year. The amount is broken out separately from other income streams in the official report. More than $80 million in additional income came from legal settlements with media companies. These settlements are itemized as distinct earnings in the 2025 filing. They form one of the smaller but still material components of the overall reported total. The entire set of figures was submitted through the standard process to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. Once filed, the full disclosure becomes part of the permanent public record. This mechanism exists to give citizens visibility into the finances of the highest-ranking government officials. Bitcoin holdings are now explicitly documented as part of the President’s official reported assets for the period. The filing places these positions on the same public record as other investments and income sources. This establishes Bitcoin as a disclosed asset under the normal ethics requirements that apply to presidential finances. Bitcoin law and regulation are moving fast.

👀 The CLARITY Act just got its biggest test yet: a key House hearing is locked in for July 17. Lawmakers are pushing crypto market structure legislation… but Polymarket currently gives it only a 41% chance of passing this year. Senator @SenLummis said it today: “The Clarity Act is not the finish line. It is the starting gun.” Journalist @EleanorTerrett says the odds are slipping fast. At the same time @CryptoLawUS is rallying the community: “Your voice is making an impact. Don’t stop now. Tell your Senator: pass the Clarity Act.” The hearing is coming. But what it actually means for #Bitcoiners worldwide is what matters most. Tomorrow’s newsletter breaks it down with no fluff: • Real implications of the July 17 hearing • Other major US Bitcoin legal moves (and their effects) • Worldwide regulatory updates • + My answer to this week’s Sovereign Question of the Week Bookmark this if you want the clear-eyed analysis tomorrow... 👉 Drops in less than 24h 👉 Open early, earn your 21 sats Will the #CLARITY Act actually pass in 2026?

👀 Cynthia Lummis just told the Senate the Clarity Act's promise is simple: "₿uild here. Stay here. Grow here." Prediction markets are betting against her. The odds of the Clarity Act passing this year keep falling. A Senate staffer admitted this week: "I don't see how there could be anything by July 4." Plus, Democrats want new ethics language tied to the Trump family's #crypto profits. Meanwhile in Europe, the real #MiCA story isn't Binance. Out of 3,000+ firms that used to operate across the EU, only ~200 have a licence before July 1. Hundreds of thousands of users could lose exchange access within days.

💥 Strategy just got hit with a securities investigation. $MSTR, $STRC, $STRK, $STRF, $STRD — all of it under Rosen Law's radar. Everyone's calling it ambulance chasing. As a lawyer and Bitcoin maxi, I think they're wrong. 👉 Every Thursday I publish a build in public post about The Bitcoin Act. But I had to talk about this news. $STRC — Saylor's preferred stock — just crashed 19% BELOW its $100 par value. And that triggers a brutal contract clause: Every time it falls below $95 → dividend rate auto-ratchets UP +0.5%. Strategy is paying more to borrow. In a bear market. While BTC bleeds. Now Rosen Law is asking: 👀 Did Strategy give investors "materially misleading business information"? As a lawyer, 2 things I'm watching: 1. Did the prospectus disclose how brutal this ratchet gets in a real bear? 2. Were preferred investors ever told the "never sell" narrative could silently break? #Bitcoin survives this. Obviously. But this is a precedent-setting moment for every corporate Bitcoin treasury that comes after Saylor. Ambulance chasing or the beginning of a real legal reckoning? ⁉️ Drop your take 👇
🧵 Legal thread of the week: Congress just banned the Fed’s digital dollar until 2031 The House just passed a housing bill 358-32 that also bars the Federal Reserve from issuing a #CBDC until December 31, 2030. 👇 🏛️ The Senate cleared the same package days earlier with overwhelming support. The bill now sits on President Trump’s desk. 👀 Title XI of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act prohibits the #Fed from issuing or creating a CBDC, or any digital asset “substantially similar” to one, without a separate act of Congress. 😡 A central bank digital currency would be government-issued digital dollars under direct central bank control. This law treats any such instrument the same as new paper currency: it requires explicit legislative approval. 🏛️ The core of the bill focuses on housing supply. It cuts red tape on construction, modernizes federal programs, and restricts large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes. The CBDC provision aligns with the current administration’s position. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that central bank digital currencies are “off the table.” Congress has now required its own approval before the Federal Reserve can create anything resembling a programmable digital dollar.
