SBF Interviewed | Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of collapsed crypto exchange FTX, sat down for an interview yesterday from prison with Tucker Carlson. In it, SBF explained that he doesn't believe he's a criminal, alleging his conviction was politically motivated, as part of what appears to be a campaign to win a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. In our opinion the interview was pretty muted, but it seems to come as a surprise to SBF’s crisis manager who immediately quit after the interview was released. | | Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson | |

| Key Points: | 200k (worth ~$18M) BTC in reserve — although the EO also includes a formal audit on the actual amount Will not sell A clear distinction: Bitcoin in reserve. Everything else is a “stockpile” Treasury is authorized to explore other budget-friendly ways of accumulating more bitcoin | Couldn’t have been a better scenario. To the moon we go… [checks price]… wait. | 1. Prices Remain Muted | If you’d told us in 2017 – when we first started this letter – that the U.S. would create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve by 2025, we’d have laughed. But if you’d added that the market wouldn’t budge on the news, we’d have laughed even harder. Yet here we are.

So be sure to celebrate a little today (and don’t look at the charts!) Congrats to all those who’ve been with us over the years. | We’ll report back to you Monday on all things White House Crypto Summit. 👍️ |
