Michael Saylor Doubles Down, Florida Eyes Bitcoin Tax Freedom, and the World's Biggest Bitcoin Conference Begins — A Global Bitcoin Revolution Unfolds
In today's high-energy episode of The Bitcoin Street Journal Podcast, host Anna dives deep into a tidal wave of Bitcoin bullishness that’s reshaping everything from state tax policy to sovereign balance sheets. As Michael Saylor’s Strategy buys another $427 million in Bitcoin, Florida proposes eliminating capital gains taxes on BTC, and the world’s largest Bitcoin conference kicks off—it's clear we’re entering a new phase of hyperbitcoinization.
We begin with a real-time price check: Bitcoin is trading at $109,670, dominating 62.4% of the market. With the halving behind us, block rewards are now just 3.125 BTC and long-term holders are stacking harder than ever. Over 300,000 BTC have been added in the last 20 days while spending by seasoned holders is at its lowest level since September—a clear sign of conviction in the network.
Michael Saylor makes headlines again with another massive buy, bringing Strategy’s Bitcoin total to over 580,000 BTC. That’s more than 2.7% of the total supply. Saylor’s own words resonate across the market: “I only buy Bitcoin with money I can’t afford to lose.”
Florida is going full Bitcoin, proposing legislation to eliminate capital gains taxes on Bitcoin transactions. If passed, it would become the first U.S. state to offer this kind of financial sovereignty—turning the Sunshine State into a potential Bitcoin haven.
