Episode notes
U.S. Likely Accumulating Bitcoin Quietly
- The hosts argue the U.S. is likely secretly buying Bitcoin as part of a strategic reserve amid a global "Bitcoin arms race."
- They cite Pantera's CEO and geopolitical realignment with allies like the UAE as supporting evidence.
Sovereign Funds Are Increasing Bitcoin Bets
- Q4 13F filings show UAE sovereign funds Mubadala and ADQ increased IBIT exposure significantly by Dec 31.
- The hosts use this as evidence that aligned nations are stacking Bitcoin long-term.
Abu Dhabi Frames Bitcoin Like Gold
- Abu Dhabi funds publicly describe Bitcoin as a long-term store of value similar to gold and are building allocations.
- This supports the narrative of strategic, long-horizon sovereign allocations to Bitcoin.
