Stacks is now live on @FireblocksHQ. 2,400 institutional clients can now reach Bitcoin DeFi directly: lending, trading, and BTC yield using the custody infrastructure they already trust.

When the Dotcom bubble popped, everything nuked. → The Nasdaq dropped 77% by October 2002 → Webvan filed for Chapter 11 and laid off 2,000 people → Oracle crashed by 80% But the internet kept growing, and by 2025, 74% of the world was online. I think $STX fits into that survival bucket because the Stacks ecosystem is focused on one of the clearest verticals in crypto: bringing DeFi to Bitcoin. @Stacks has a $27M 2026 operating budget and a $25M working-capital allocation for engineering, security, growth, and DeFi liquidity. So yeah, even though consolidation sucks, it does have a good runway to survive the chop and keep building into one of the main Bitcoin DeFi plays. Disclosure: I'm a long-time $STX holder.

AI doomers are in shambles over this one this robot drives through California strawberry fields at night and does the job pesticides used to do, with NO chemicals at all it shines UV light on the plants, which fries the mites, mold, and mildew that normally get sprayed with pesticide. then a vacuum on the back sucks the remaining bugs right off the leaves that's it, just light and suction, no poison, running while everyone sleeps so you get healthier food, no chemicals soaking into what you eat, and no human stuck spraying poison by hand all day there's genuinely nothing to hate here. so if you still find a way to, that's a you problem this is the entire optimistic case for AI better quality of life, healthier food, people freed from brutal work that wrecks their bodies now run the same play across every domain > robots inspecting bridges so nobody has to dangle off one > AI reading every scan so cancer gets caught 3 years early > machines taking the dangerous, poisonous, back-breaking jobs another W for the AI optimists

Strategy has acquired 1,587 BTC for $100 million to increase our $BTC Reserve to ₿846,842. We have also increased our USD Reserve by $100 million to $1.1 billion. $MSTR $STRC strategy.com/press/strategy-…

1.2 million BTC currently on corporate balance sheets. Producing no yield. For now.

Crypto is entering a consolidation phase. In the dotcom era, the markets simultaneously (a) overpriced the losers and (b) underpriced the eventual winners. The winners and the market size turned out to be way bigger than we imagined. Top crypto projects with sufficient cash and runway to dominate their respective verticals will sweep the upcoming market.

$STRC and $MSTR shareholders have approved the amendment to move $STRC dividends from monthly to semi-monthly. Under the new cadence, the first record date is June 30 and the first payment date is July 15. Thank you to every shareholder who voted. strategy.com/press/strategy-…

Que curioso que ISIS amenace al papa justo cuando presenta una postura tajantemente anti-Israel

Thoughts on Stacks (blockstack:native) and markets: - The four year cycle stays true. Bitcoin highs are muted but lows also likely muted. - The AI models discovering bugs issue is real. Flight to safety will be a trend to watch. - Bitcoin stayed simple with verifiable and transparent supply. All additional functionality can be built on top. - Stacks optimized for safety and went for a decidable language (Clarity). Safety will end up being *the* thing to optimize for. - There is likely going to be one maybe two Bitcoin L2s that take all/most of the traffic. - After Bitcoin gets a quantum upgrade, depending on new signatures, Bitcoin bandwidth will likely decrease by 50%-97%; highlighting increased need for L2s. - Bitcoin staking is a $100B market with increased demand for BTC on BTC yield coming from institutions and DATs. - Stacks has seen two cycles before (1) mainnet launch (BTC smart contracts), (2) Nakamoto launch (speed & sBTC), now we’re working on (3) Bitcoin Protocol Bonds launch that unlocks the largest market yet. - Last year, the ecosystem restructured for operational efficiency plus a new treasury. Stacks Labs is well funded, laser-focused, and hyped up about the new launch. - Stacks is Lindy in crypto & Bitcoin at this point. Largest Bitcoin project by marketcap & active devs for 5 years. When BTC starts to recover, so will STX but as higher beta. - Bitcoin might reach $150K-$250K next cycle (halving is early 2028) which is a 3-4x, Stacks is more in the 20-50x range given higher beta history and upcoming catalyst of Bitcoin Protocol Bonds. (Not financial advice and more on protocol bonds later). - In the chart below, there were only three times in history for lowest entry points. Before mainnet when everything was unproven, before Nakamoto, and now. - The upcoming SIP for protocol bonds launch will likely get accepted, with good feedback from community to drop/adjust the boosted rewards period (I support adjusting/removing this variable.) We’re buying here and then patiently waiting next 6-months for protocol bonds to go live, markets to bottom out, and our thesis of Bitcoin as the king asset with a thriving on-chain BTC economy to play out. Let’s go! 🟧

Mossad send their regards

Excited to be sharing the first draft of the PoX-5 SIP, the proposal that introduces Bitcoin Staking to Stacks. We invite feedback from the community and core contributors before it moves to a ratification vote. Read the draft and share your thoughts: forum.stacks.org/t/introduci…

STRC now accounts for over half of all USDh backing 👀 @Strategy is a major driver of USDh’s current 9% APY yield.

BREAKING: US Consumer Sentiment officially falls to its lowest level on record in data going back to 1952, down another -10% last month. Consumers now see inflation rising to 4.8% over the next 12 months. This puts the Consumer Sentiment index down -21% since February 2026, before the Iran War. Not even the 1980s saw Consumer Sentiment this low.

The Bitcoin Staking whitepaper introduced a new model for earning yield on bitcoin. This week we're breaking down the 7 features that define how it works and why it's built differently 🟧

A month ago, hBTC opened to the public. Since then: ◾ 4.5% average APY ◾ 99% days had positive yield ◾ 50 BTC earning daily yield A strong first month.

TLDR: they’re going to print so much fucking money

Hard money built cathedrals, infrastructure, and multi-generational wealth. Soft money built short term thinking, debt addiction, asset bubbles, and a generation that can’t afford what their parents had on half the income. We didn’t get poorer. The money got worse.
