Tether has acquired 4,812 Bitcoin worth $458.7 million on behalf of Twenty One Capital, the Bitcoin treasury company led by Jack Mallers. Revealed in an SEC filing by Cantor Equity Partners, this purchase strengthens Twenty One Capital’s position before its public debut under ticker $XXI. Mallers champions an aggressive acquisition strategy to ensure shareholders “get wealthier in Bitcoin terms.” The company, backed by Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank, will launch with approximately 42,000 Bitcoin, making it the third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. Mallers envisions Twenty One Capital as “the ultimate vehicle for capital markets to participate in Bitcoin,” emphasizing its Bitcoin-first approach in every aspect of operations.

El Salvador has purchased more Bitcoin for its national strategic reserve, continuing a bold financial strategy. The country now holds over 6,130 Bitcoin worth approximately $500 million. President Bukele remains committed to this path despite the IMF’s attempt to limit Bitcoin activities in their recent $1.4 billion loan agreement. Since 2021, El Salvador has shifted from promoting Bitcoin as everyday currency to treating it as a valuable national asset. This pioneering approach has inspired other nations, including the United States, to consider establishing their own strategic Bitcoin reserves. The government views these purchases as crucial for the country’s long-term financial sovereignty and economic stability.

NEW: Quantum Computing Risk & BIP 360 feat. @cryptoquick at @MITBitcoinClub Expo 2025 💥

At the MIT Bitcoin Expo 2025, experts talked about a new danger to Bitcoin: quantum computers. These powerful machines could one day break Bitcoin’s security codes. Hunter Beast showed how BIP 360 (also called QuBit) can protect Bitcoin. This plan would change how Bitcoin works by using special codes that even quantum computers can’t break. Microsoft recently made a new quantum chip, which makes this threat more real. While experts say Bitcoin is safe for now, they believe we need to prepare early. BIP 360 helps Bitcoin stay secure by replacing old security methods with stronger ones before quantum computers become powerful enough to cause problems.

The Financial Times just released “Michael Saylor’s $40BN Bitcoin Bet,” a documentary about the founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). The film shows how Saylor transformed his software company into the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder with about $50 billion in Bitcoin. It reveals his “unlimited funding loophole” strategy of using stock sales and bonds to buy massive amounts of Bitcoin. While Strategy’s stock has soared alongside Bitcoin’s price, the documentary questions whether this highly leveraged approach is sustainable, as it completely depends on Bitcoin’s continued rise. Experts note how Saylor promotes his company indirectly by constantly hyping Bitcoin.

Publicly traded company Vinanz has secured new funding to purchase $2 million in Bitcoin assets. This investment is part of a larger $4 million bridge financing package aimed at expanding their Bitcoin business operations, with half of the funds already received. Vinanz joins the growing list of companies following Michael Saylor’s playbook of investing corporate treasury in Bitcoin. This trend has accelerated in 2025 as more businesses see Bitcoin as a strategic asset and inflation hedge. While Vinanz’s $2 million Bitcoin investment is modest compared to Strategy’s $50 billion holdings, it signals continued institutional adoption of cryptocurrency as a legitimate treasury asset for public companies.

President Trump has openly embraced cryptocurrency, declaring “I am a big crypto fan” and pledging to make America “the crypto capital of the world.” His administration has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, appointed a crypto czar, and hosted the first White House Digital Asset Summit. Trump signed an executive order creating a crypto-friendly regulatory framework and has celebrated blockchain technology’s potential. His family has also developed substantial crypto investments, including his sons’ bitcoin mining company going public on Nasdaq. However, these personal ventures have sparked controversy, with Democrats raising conflict of interest concerns and introducing legislation to ban presidents from issuing or endorsing crypto assets while in office.

President Trump recently declared, “We’re leading China in crypto,” highlighting his administration’s push to make America the cryptocurrency leader. Trump has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using forfeited assets and signed executive orders supporting the crypto industry. His son Eric emphasized this priority, stating “We won the space race. We better win the crypto race.” The administration has appointed crypto-friendly regulators and reversed many Biden-era restrictions. This has positioned the US to compete with China, previously a dominant player in cryptocurrency mining and development. However, critics raise concerns about conflicts between Trump’s policy decisions and his family’s extensive personal crypto investments.
