THE DREAM TEAM? 🏆️

BREAKING: Tether, Bitfinex, Cantor and SoftBank to Launch Bitcoin Company With $3.9 Billion Treasury

BTC

A new Bitcoin juggernaut just quietly stepped onto the Nasdaq

Introducing: Twenty One Capital - a $3.9 billion Bitcoin-first public company backed by:

  • Tether

  • Bitfinex

  • SoftBank

  • Cantor Fitzgerald

It’s going public via a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners (CEP), and will trade under the ticker XXI.

Their starting stack? 42,000 BTC.

That makes it the third-largest Bitcoin treasury on the planet - behind only Strategy (538K BTC) and MARA (47K BTC).

MH Tweet

Twenty One isn’t dabbling in Bitcoin. It’s purpose built for it.

Led by Jack Mallers, the company’s mission is razor sharp:

“Our mission is simple: to become the most successful company in Bitcoin, the most valuable financial opportunity of our time… We’re not here to beat the market, we’re here to build a new one.”

Jack Mallers

This isn’t just corporate BTC on the balance sheet.

Everything at Twenty One is measured in Bitcoin:

  • Bitcoin Per Share (BPS) – How much BTC each share represents

  • Bitcoin Return Rate (BRR) – The growth rate of BPS over time

On top of the $3.9B base, they’re raising another $550M through debt and equity…

And yep, it’s all going to buy more Bitcoin.

JM

Twenty One doesn’t plan to just stop at buying and holding BTC.

Down the line, they plan to:

  • Launch Bitcoin lending and financial products

  • Create original Bitcoin-focused media

  • Serve as a full-spectrum proxy for BTC exposure

Think of it as Strategy 2.0 - but with a more aggressive, more Bitcoin-maxi DNA.

This marks a pivotal moment in institutional adoption - where TradFi giants aren’t just buying Bitcoin…

They’re building around it.

Bitcoin isn’t a hedge anymore. It’s the main event. 🚀

COUNTRIES ARE COMING…🌍

Anthony Pompliano just dropped a market update confirming what Bitcoiners have been predicting for years:

“Nation states around the world are setting up Strategic Bitcoin Reserves.”

Anthony Pompliano

El Salvador was the test.
Bhutan was the quiet follow-up.

Then, the United States joined the game. 🇺🇸

Now, like it or not, every other country has to make a move.

Why?

Game theory.

Pomp

The Bitcoin arms race has begun

In his update, Pompliano broke down that Binance is actively advising sovereign wealth funds and governments on:

  • Bitcoin policy 📜

  • Strategic reserves 🏦

  • National-level accumulation 🧠

If that doesn’t sound like a big deal… it is.

“Once one large nation starts to accumulate Bitcoin, all others are now incentivized to compete.

Anthony Pompliano

This is no longer fringe. This is fiat survival.

You either hold Bitcoin, or you fall behind.

The dominoes are falling

Panama just became the first public institution in Latin America to accept crypto for:

  • Taxes

  • Fees

  • Permits

  • Fines

Other countries are quietly mining, buying, or writing policy.

And just like that — the game theory loop has activated:

  • ✅ U.S. starts stacking

  • ✅ Binance advises others

  • ✅ Strategic reserves multiply

  • ✅ Everyone FOMOs in

The bottom line?

Bitcoin is now a undeniably a geopolitical asset. 🧨

The moment one superpower says “this is strategic,” the rest are forced to play catch-up.

The window to front-run the world is closing.

Game theory is a beautiful thing. ♟️

ANOTHER HIGH 💪

It’s time for another look at Ethereum’s supply side dynamics.

Today we’ll be focusing on the amount of Ethereum currently being staked.

Quick Note: Ethereum staking involves locking up ETH to support the blockchain’s security. In return, users earn rewards for staking.

If you’d like to learn more about staking, check out this article.

onchain

As of today, 60,533,705 ETH is staked.

That’s an increase of 787,703 ETH in just the past two weeks. (~$1.41 billion at today’s prices)

And yes… that’s yet another all-time high.

(You know the drill by now - this chart literally sets a new record every day)

To put that into perspective:

Staked ETH now accounts for 50.12% of the total circulating supply.

Which means that half of all Ethereum is locked up - held by investors who clearly aren’t in any rush to sell.

Conviction remains sky-high.

Supply continues to tighten.

And this all sets the stage for what could eventually become a textbook supply squeeze.
