    Why Is Bitcoin’s Price Lagging? The Truth Behind Whale Selling

    Whales & Long-Term Holders Selling: Profit-taking by OG wallets is redistributing supply. Many are diversifying custody or rotating some BTC into ETFs for margin/borrowing flexibility. Seasonality Matters: Bitcoin weakness in August/September is common; thin liquidity + vacation season amplify dips. ETFs as Financial Rails: Institutions and wealthy holders prefer ETFs for cheaper margin rates compared to Bitcoin-backed loans. Retail vs OG Perspective: Whale trims feel like “dumping” to retail but are natural in Bitcoin’s monetization process. Global Reserves Shift: For the first time since the 1990s, central banks hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries—de-dollarization in motion. Fed Politicization: The fight over Gov. Lisa Cook shows growing political pressure on the Fed under fiscal dominance. Fee FUD Dismissed: Low on-chain fees ≠ security crisis. Dynamic fee markets ensure resilience. Store of Value vs Medium of Exchange: False dichotomy—Bitcoin functions as both, but its SoV role dominates today. Bitwise Framework: 2035 scenarios debated: bear $88K, base $1.3M, bull ~$3M. Panel skeptical of the low-end case. Specter Association Launch: Swan transfers Specter to a new Swiss nonprofit. Yan Pritzker joins the board; roadmap now fully community-driven.

    Trump Opens 401Ks to Bitcoin as FED Eyes Gold Revaluation

    Major Policy Shift: President Trump signs an executive order directing the Department of Labor to reexamine fiduciary guidance, opening the door for Bitcoin and crypto investments in 401(k) retirement plans — a $9 trillion market. Implementation Timeline: Panel agrees it’s medium-to-long-term bullish but may take 1–2 years before Bitcoin ETFs appear broadly in 401(k) offerings due to provider-by-provider approval. Bitcoin vs. Crypto: Hosts stress ongoing need to educate the public on why Bitcoin is different from other cryptocurrencies, as broader “crypto” inclusion could expose investors to higher-risk assets. Regulatory Clarity: Michael Saylor and others call for clearer frameworks to classify assets, separating Bitcoin from altcoins to prevent harmful policy spillover. FED Gold Revaluation Paper: Federal Reserve explores revaluing gold reserves (currently marked at $42/oz) to unlock budget-neutral spending capacity — potentially tied to creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Hidden Inflation Signal: Revaluing gold to current market prices (~$3,500/oz) would implicitly acknowledge an 8%+ annual inflation rate since the gold peg was abandoned. Gold Tariffs & Bitcoin Advantage: Temporary headlines about potential U.S. gold import tariffs spark discussion; Saylor on Bloomberg notes Bitcoin’s weightless, borderless nature makes it immune to tariffs. Volatility Compression: Since Bitcoin ETFs launched, 90-day rolling volatility has dropped below 40 — less than 2× gold’s — suggesting a structurally different, steadier bull market. Cycle Danger Zone: On-chain analyst Checkmate highlights we’re within 30 days of the historical post-halving blow-off top window; debate over whether this cycle breaks the four-year pattern. Central Banking & Money Creation: Clip from Richard Werner explaining commercial banks’ ability to create money from nothing sparks discussion on fiat fragility, war financing, and the importance of Bitcoin as sound money.   Swan Private helps HNWI, companies, trusts, and other entities go beyond legacy finance with BItcoin.

    Happy ATH! - Speculative Attack at Scale: Bitcoin’s Next Leg Up?

    Bitcoin at All-Time Highs: The crew celebrates Bitcoin’s new all-time highs around $118K and discusses whether we’re due for a 10% pullback. Predictions ranged from a short-term dip at $119K to price discovery pushing beyond $130K. Institutional Adoption & Bitcoin Treasuries: Discussion on the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies like Sequans (guided by Swan) and how they differ in execution, strategy, and impact. The panel emphasizes that these companies aren’t meant for retail speculation but as vehicles for institutions to gain Bitcoin exposure. “Speculative attack at scale” is driving corporate demand for Bitcoin. Quiet Retail Cycle: Despite price highs, retail interest remains muted, with Google Trends for “Bitcoin” near 2023 levels. The hosts see this as a bullish signal, suggesting institutional accumulation is driving the market. Macro Environment: Trump’s renewed market cheerleading and calls for lower interest rates. Powell’s Fed likely to hold steady this month, with potential cuts later in the year. The panel sees a “growth at all costs” fiscal pivot favoring risk assets. Germany’s Blunder: Germany’s sale of 50K BTC at ~$58K now looks like a historic mistake. Elon Musk & Bitcoin: Musk tweets “Fiat is hopeless,” fueling speculation about his future engagement with Bitcoin. The hosts warn against “politician and billionaire simping.” 14-Year-Old Bitcoin Moves: A 2011 wallet holding 80K BTC (~$8.7B) moved funds to new addresses. Likely for security upgrades, not immediate selling. Swan Private Updates: Swan Private team shares stories about helping clients with Bitcoin wealth management, custody, and estate planning during this bull run.
