The Supply Chain Crisis Is Escalating β€” But This Tech Startup Keeps Winning

Global supply chain chaos is intensifying. Major retailers warn of holiday shortages, and tech giants are slashing forecasts as parts dry up.

But while others scramble, one smart home innovator is thriving.

Their strategic move to manufacturing outside China has kept production running smoothly β€” driving 200% year-over-year growth, even as the industry stalls.

This foresight is no accident. The same leadership team that saw the supply chain storm coming has already expanded into over 120 BestBuy locations, with talks underway to add Walmart and Home Depot.

At just $1.90 per share, this resilient tech startup offers rare stability in uncertain times. As investors flee vulnerable companies, this window is closing fast.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸš€ Senator Lummis' New BITCOIN Act Paves the Way for a U.S. Reserve Exceeding 1M BTC!

πŸ“’ Senator Cynthia Lummis has reintroduced the BITCOIN Act, a ground-breaking bill that could see the United States holding over 1 million BTC as part of its strategic reserve. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’°

πŸ”‘ Key Takeaways from the New BITCOIN Act

βœ… 1M+ BTC Reserve: The U.S. will acquire 200,000 BTC per year for 5 years and can exceed 1M BTC through forfeitures, state contributions, and gifts. πŸ’ŽπŸ™Œ
βœ… Strengthening Economic Security: The act aims to leverage Bitcoin to boost financial innovation while tackling national debt. πŸ¦πŸ“ˆ
βœ… Bipartisan Support: New co-sponsors include Senators Jim Justice, Tommy Tuberville, Roger Marshall, Marsha Blackburn, and Bernie Moreno. πŸ›οΈπŸ€
βœ… Bitcoin Forks & Airdrops: The bill formalizes a process for managing forked assets and airdrops, ensuring only the most valuable assets are retained. βš‘πŸ”„

πŸ”₯ Why This Matters

The BITCOIN Act codifies President Trump’s recent executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. This move could solidify Bitcoin’s role in national financial policy and further integrate it into U.S. economic strategy. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβš‘

πŸŽ¬πŸ’‘ IATSE Local 728 Becomes First Private-Sector Union to Invest in Bitcoin!

The future of labour unions just changed forever!

⚑πŸŽ₯ IATSE Local 728, representing 3,000 entertainment industry workers, has become the first private-sector union in the U.S. to put Bitcoin on its balance sheet -and they’re holding it in self-custody. πŸš€πŸ”‘

πŸ’‘ Why This Move Is Historic:

βœ… Financial Security for Workers πŸ’° – Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
βœ… True Labour Empowerment βœŠ – No reliance on banks or third partiesβ€”workers control their own treasury.
βœ… A Bold Stand Against Fiat Manipulation πŸ›οΈ – β€œBitcoin isn’t a gambleβ€”it’s a strategy,” the union says.
βœ… Setting a New Standard πŸ“œ – This could inspire other unions to follow suit, reshaping the labour movement.

πŸ’¬ IATSE Local 728’s Message:

β€œFor too long, unions have played defense in a system rigged against workers. That ends now. With Bitcoin, we aren’t just negotiating contracts - we are securing economic freedom. We are setting the standard. We are taking action.”

This move was overwhelmingly approved by IATSE Local 728 members and executed with the help of Proof of Workforce, a non-profit helping unions adopt Bitcoin through education-based initiatives.

πŸš€ What’s Next?

πŸ”Ή A standing committee will explore ways to integrate Bitcoin into long-term financial security for members.
πŸ”Ή Unions nationwide may now see Bitcoin as a path to true economic sovereignty.
πŸ”Ή β€œLights, Camera, Bitcoin!” 🎬✨ – The labour movement is stepping into the future of money.

Is this the start of a Bitcoin revolution in unions? ⚑πŸ”₯

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’°πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Deutsche Bank Says U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Plan Could Reshape Global Finance

The U.S.’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is making waves 🌊 - and Deutsche Bank believes it could transform global finance!

πŸ”‘ Key Insights from Deutsche Bank:

βœ… Bitcoin = Digital Gold πŸ† - With its fixed supply and decentralization, BTC is emerging as a hard reserve asset for financial stability.
βœ… Hedge Against Inflation πŸ“‰πŸ”₯ - Holding Bitcoin could strengthen the U.S. economy and diversify reserves beyond traditional assets.
βœ… Global Influence on Bitcoin Policy πŸŒŽβš–οΈ - The U.S. could lead the way in Bitcoin regulation, similar to its historical role with the gold standard.
βœ… Debt Reduction Potential πŸ’ΈπŸ”— - As Bitcoin’s value grows, it could help ease national debt burdens over time.

πŸ’‘ Where’s the Bitcoin Coming From?

The U.S. Bitcoin reserve will initially be seeded from confiscated BTC πŸ›οΈβš–οΈ, reducing reliance on taxpayer funding. But the government is also exploring budget-neutral strategies to expand holdings, including:
πŸ”Ή Issuing Bitcoin-backed bonds to attract investment without adding to national debt πŸ“œπŸ’°
πŸ”Ή Allowing states to contribute Bitcoin to the reserve while keeping ownership rights separate πŸ›οΈπŸ”‘
πŸ”Ή Partnering with energy producers to mine Bitcoin from stranded or excess energy βš‘β›οΈ
πŸ”Ή Incentivizing private-sector Bitcoin deposits in exchange for tax benefits or regulatory incentives πŸ€πŸ“ˆ
πŸ”Ή Repricing U.S. Gold Certificates to current market value to unlock capital for Bitcoin purchases without increasing government debt 🏦✨

πŸ“’πŸš€ Rumble Adds $17.1M in Bitcoin to Treasury

Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM), the video-sharing and cloud services giant has purchased 188 BTC at an average price of $91,000 per coin, consistent with its previously announced Bitcoin treasury strategy to allocate up to $20 million to Bitcoin.

πŸ’¬ β€œWe are excited to announce these purchases and allocation of Bitcoin as part of our treasury strategy as well as a larger strategic move as we further expand our ties to the crypto industry. These holdings have the potential to serve as a valuable hedge against inflation and will not be subject to dilution like so many overprinted government-issued currencies,”

Rumble Chairman & CEO Chris Pavlovski

 

πŸ“ˆ What’s Next?

Rumble’s Bitcoin allocation strategy remains flexible, with future purchases dependent on market conditions, BTC price movements, and company cash needs.
