🧠 Quote Of The Week

“A new idea must not be judged by its immediate results.”

– Nikola Tesla

🏡 Bitcoin Moves In

In a landmark move, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has instructed major mortgage players like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to recognise Bitcoin and other digital assets when assessing borrowers' financial profiles.

While it's still early days, this signals a clear shift: Bitcoin is starting to be recognised as a reserve asset by the U.S. housing system, a defining moment for institutional BTC adoption and collateral recognition.

💥 The Power of 21

At BTC Prague, Michael Saylor laid out his vision for a 21-year journey to Bitcoin adoption.

The Strategy boss believes we’re still early, likening today to “iPhone 1” and says the future involves nation-states, corporations, and billions of people gradually converging on Bitcoin over the next two decades.

He expects Bitcoin to climb to $21 million per coin within 21 years, growing roughly 21% annually as adoption spreads from Capitol Hill to Wall Street.

📜 Bitcoin on the Innovation Scale

Bank of America included Bitcoin in its "1,000 Years of Technological Disruption" chart, placing it alongside breakthroughs like the printing press, electricity, the internet, and electric vehicles.

Something that many of us already knew, but more people are waking up to.

🔧 New Advisors on Board

We’re excited to welcome three powerhouse additions to the Bitcoin Collective advisory team:

Joe Bryan, former investment banker and entrepreneur turned Bitcoin creator of the viral “What’s The Problem?” video. He is now a go-to voice for Bitcoin education.

Freddie New, co-founder of Bitcoin Policy UK and the newly appointed Chief Strategy Officer at CoinCorner.

Sam Roberts, Director of Investment Consulting at Cartwright, who pioneered the UK’s first pension scheme allocation to Bitcoin.
