G’day Bitcoiner,

Here’s the week in Bitcoin treasuries.

🇨🇿🔥 Czech Central Bank Eyes $7 Billion Bitcoin Investment – Game Theory at Play in Europe 💰⚡

In a meeting overnight, the Czech National Bank (CNB) officially approved a proposal to evaluate Bitcoin as part of its international reserve strategy, marking a potential game-changer in European finance.

Governor Aleš Michl is pushing to allocate 5% of the CNB’s €140B reserves to Bitcoin, making the Czech Republic the first Western European central bank to explore BTC as a reserve asset.

💡 Why Bitcoin?

Michl sees Bitcoin as a hedge in uncertain economic times, building on the CNB’s unconventional investment approach—22% of its portfolio is already in equities.

A €7B Bitcoin investment could significantly impact Bitcoin’s supply and signal a shift in central bank reserve strategies.

🔍 What’s at Stake?

📉 Risks: Bitcoin’s volatility means potential massive gains or steep losses.
📈 Opportunities: Institutional adoption is rising, and potential deregulation under a Trump administration could boost Bitcoin’s value.

🇨🇿 Implications for the Czech Economy

With inflation concerns and ongoing debates over euro adoption, Michl argues that keeping the koruna gives the Czech Republic more financial independence.

This Bitcoin proposal could further strengthen its monetary position.

🎲 Game Theory in Action

With momentum building for a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve under Trump, the Czech Republic’s move may be a calculated play to stay ahead in the evolving digital asset landscape.

🌐 A Watershed Moment for Bitcoin?

A €7B Bitcoin buy would account for 5.3 months of new BTC supply, according to Bitwise’s André Dragosch—a massive demand shock.

The world is watching as Michl prepares to push his proposal forward. Could this be the tipping point for Bitcoin in global finance? 🔥🚀

🚀 Tesla Reports $600M Bitcoin Gain in Q4 Thanks to New Accounting Rule

🔥 Bitcoin bags big gains for Tesla! In a landmark move, Tesla just reported a $600 million net gain on its Bitcoin holdings for Q4 2024—thanks to a game-changing accounting rule that lets companies reflect Bitcoin’s market value on their balance sheets.

📊 A Rule That Changes Everything

Until now, companies could only record Bitcoin losses—but not gains—unless they sold. That’s old news.

✅ Last quarter, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated the rules, allowing companies to fairly value their Bitcoin holdings.
✅ Tesla’s Bitcoin stash is now valued at $1 billion (up from just $184M previously).
✅ That means a $589M boost to its books, with Tesla now holding 9,720 BTC.

💰 Tesla’s Q4 Performance: Bitcoin to the Rescue?

Tesla’s Q4 earnings came in at $2.3B GAAP income, with Bitcoin playing a major role.

However, overall revenue of $25.71B missed Wall Street expectations, reflecting broader industry challenges.

🏢 What This Means for Corporate Bitcoin Adoption

This accounting shift removes a major roadblock for businesses considering Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

🚀 With MicroStrategy set to report next week under the updated accounting standards, the numbers could be explosive—potentially revealing a massive uplift in reported earnings as Bitcoin’s true market value hits the balance sheet.

💥🔥 This could be a watershed moment for corporate Bitcoin adoption, forcing Wall Street to take notice. 👀💡 

⚡ Tesla’s Bitcoin Journey

Tesla shook the world in 2021 with its $1.5B Bitcoin buy, cementing itself as a corporate Bitcoin pioneer.

While it has sold some holdings, this latest move signals continued belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value.

Now, if only Elon Musk spent less time on ‘shitcoins’ and more time talking about Bitcoin, we would see even greater momentum for corporate adoption. 🚀

🚀 Another Huge Week For MicroStrategy — Now Holding 471,107 BTC!

🚨 SEC Repeals SAB 121—Banks Can Now Custody Bitcoin, But At What Cost? ⚡🏦

In a deep dive by Preston Pysh of Ego Death Capital, the repeal of SAB 121 clears the way for big banks to custody Bitcoin—but also opens Pandora’s box for rehypothecation, fractional reserves, and systemic risk.

⚠️ Unlike fiat, Bitcoin has no bailouts, no lender of last resort, and no room for Wall Street’s usual games.

🚨 Pysh warns: Congress must act now to ban Bitcoin rehypothecation before traditional finance turns BTC into its next high-risk experiment. 🔥

🇺🇸🔥 U.S. States Racing to Stack Bitcoin – Utah & Illinois Lead the Charge! 💰⚡
