In June 2025, a transaction of 300 BTC, equivalent to 31 million dollars, lands in the wallet of Ross Ulbricht, creator of Silk Road, the legendary black market of the darknet. The catch?

This text, dubbed "One Big Beautiful Bill", crystallizes the tensions between political ambition and financial viability.

As traditional finance giants struggle to reinvent their reserve strategy, a Japanese company is stepping off the beaten path. Metaplanet, boldly dubbed "the Japanese strategy," is no longer just flirting with bitcoin. It is now entering an economic war with a clear ambition: to own 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026. This is no longer just a bet; it is a manifesto.
