U.S. Government Reveals $850 Billion Plan To Buy Bitcoin! | Bitcoin Simply · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  The United States government is sitting on an $850 billion
• 0:04
  secret. What if they could unlock it
• 0:05
  without raising taxes, adding debt, or printing a single
• 0:08
  dollar? And what if they use that war
• 0:10
  chest to buy Bitcoin? The Federal Reserve just laid
• 0:13
  out a playbook on exactly how they would do that.
• 0:16
  It's the same trick that five other countries have already
• 0:19
  pulled off. We'll talk about the
• 0:20
  implications of this and Donald Trump's latest executive order,
• 0:23
  which states that Americans will now be able to use their 401 KS
• 0:27
  to invest in the Bitcoin. Bad math says that about one
• 0:29
  point point, $2 trillion in capital are going to flow into
• 0:32
  Bitcoin from these two things. Not bad.
• 0:34
  I got a deep cut for us today on a silent U.S. government bailout
• 0:38
  and more. We got a lot to cover.
• 0:40
  This is Dante Coke with Bitcoin. Simply, let's go.
• 0:46
  Trump last night came out and talked about crypto assets being
• 0:49
  eligible for 4/01 KS. I mean, that's a monster pool of
• 0:52
  capital. And what we're just seeing is
• 0:55
  through these treasury companies, through through all
• 0:58
  the kinds of different avenues, the aperture of being able to
• 1:02
  buy crypto being widened and widened and widened more avenues
• 1:05
  bringing people into the tent. I think one of the things that I
• 1:09
  actually didn't even comprehend is these treasury companies have
• 1:12
  done so well. The public equity markets are so
• 1:15
  much bigger than what the crypto markets were.
• 1:18
  And so as we're really broadening our reach through
• 1:20
  public equities into our asset class, you're just seeing tons
• 1:24
  of money pour in. OK, this is a big deal.
• 1:26
  Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that will
• 1:29
  allow Americans to invest into Bitcoin with their 401 KS.
• 1:33
  A lot of people might get this confused.
• 1:35
  They might say Dante, but we could already buy Bitcoin from
• 1:37
  Wall Street with ETS. Yes, that's post tax dollars,
• 1:40
  dollars that you may use to buy Bitcoin in a brokerage account
• 1:44
  or an IRA, but not with pre tax money.
• 1:46
  This unlocks a whole new investment.
• 1:48
  Not only will you be able to contribute a lot more, 23,500 in
• 1:52
  2025 with 401K money, 31,000 if you're over 50, and 69,000 in a
• 1:58
  solo 401K. As a business owner.
• 2:00
  These are considered pre tax contributions, but you would
• 2:02
  always need a fiduciary to sponsor it.
• 2:04
  This is where the majority of American wealth is.
• 2:07
  In fact, it's estimated that 8 to $10 trillion worth of assets
• 2:11
  are sitting in 401 KS. So Bitcoin captured just 5% of
• 2:15
  this market. Well, that's $400 billion.
• 2:18
  This is combined with incessant buying from Bitcoin treasury
• 2:21
  companies which have purchased 545,000 Bitcoin, or 2.5% of the
• 2:26
  network in 2025 alone. ETF's have bought 360,000
• 2:30
  Bitcoin, or 1.5% of the network so far this year.
• 2:33
  There is currently much more buying than there is Bitcoin
• 2:36
  being made or sold. This is pretty bullish for
• 2:38
  Bitcoin if you ask me. Grok is super bullish.
• 2:41
  It thinks because of this, there's going to be a supply
• 2:44
  squeeze and we're going to end up seeing 175 K Bitcoin or the
• 2:48
  end of the year. That's not me that said that,
• 2:50
  Billy, that's the AI. OK, let's go back to the Donald
• 2:53
  Trump thing for one second. As part of the executive order,
• 2:55
  it said that Americans will also be able to invest into
• 2:58
  alternative assets in private equity, assets in real estate.
• 3:01
  We all know that this is a silent government bailout,
• 3:04
  right? Private equity right now is in
• 3:06
  trouble. They're stuck holding a bunch of
• 3:08
  companies on paper that haven't been able to be marked up and
• 3:12
  they can't lever them with more debt because of the high
• 3:14
  interest rates. So they're burning cash right
• 3:16
  now. So they're offloading them to
• 3:19
  us. A mini bailout.
• 3:20
  Congratulations. The same is true not only for
• 3:23
  private equity and private equity companies, but real
• 3:25
  estate also, which is owned majority by private equity.
• 3:29
  The black stones and black rocks of the world own a majority of
• 3:31
  single family homes in America. And right now there's a lot more
• 3:35
  selling and buying. In fact, in June there was
• 3:37
  500,000 more sellers than there were buyers.
• 3:41
  People can't sell these homes and people can't afford them.
• 3:43
  That's a deep cut for today. But on to the next story, the
• 3:46
  big story, the 800 and $50 billion secret that the Federal
• 3:50
  Reserve just dropped. This might be a budget neutral
• 3:53
  plan for them to buy Bitcoin and I'll tell you why.
• 3:55
  No joke, the Federal Reserve released a paper highlighting
• 3:58
  how they could revalue gold in order to purchase or acquire
• 4:02
  strategic assets or reduce their debt.
• 4:04
  They research how this has been done in five other places
• 4:07
  before, Italy, St. Martin, Germany, South Africa
• 4:11
  and Lebanon. So here's the deal.
• 4:13
  Gold is currently valued on their balance sheet at 42 point,
• 4:16
  $2.00 an ounce. It's currently worth in the
• 4:18
  market $3300.00 an ounce. So if they own 261 million
• 4:24
  ounces of gold, well, that means that they have an $850 billion
• 4:28
  unrealized gain. The paper highlights that
• 4:30
  there's two things that other countries have already done.
• 4:32
  Germany in 1997, Lebanon in 2002, in South Africa in 2024,
• 4:37
  used the sale of strategic assets or the revaluing of
• 4:40
  strategic assets in order to buy or fund a treasury account.
• 4:44
  So with no debt issuance, no taxes, they're able to raise
• 4:48
  money, a budget neutral way to buy Bitcoin.
• 4:50
  They can sell the gold and immediately rebuy it themselves,
• 4:54
  giving them a paper gain or income that could be remitted to
• 4:57
  the Treasury in a similar fashion.
• 4:59
  St. Martin did this just a few years
• 5:01
  ago. Don't.
• 5:02
  Not me saying this is fake. Go read the paper yourself.
• 5:04
  The interesting thing is that this playbook comes right at the
• 5:06
  announcement of Stephen Miram joining the Federal Reserve in
• 5:11
  the empty seat. He's the current chairman of the
• 5:13
  Council of Economic Affairs, one of Trump's good buddies, and
• 5:17
  he's been known to be a bitcoiner.
• 5:19
  Tweeting things like Bitcoin fixes this.
• 5:21
  Could he be the one putting together our plan in order to
• 5:24
  buy Bitcoin in a budget neutral way?
• 5:26
  Gold built the old financial system and Bitcoin will build
• 5:29
  the next one. So it makes sense that they
• 5:30
  would revalue gold to buy Bitcoin.
• 5:32
  It's just a better asset. I mean you can't tariff Bitcoin
• 5:35
  like they just did with gold to Switzerland.
• 5:38
  On some of the other big news from today, a lot has certainly
• 5:41
  happened on this Friday, but one of those is what's going on in
• 5:44
  the gold market right now. You have the Trump
• 5:46
  administration ruling that gold bars will be subject to tariffs
• 5:50
  as well, these reciprocal tariffs.
• 5:52
  So imports of gold will be tariffed.
• 5:54
  And that's really sending shock waves through the gold
• 5:58
  ecosystem. Gold and Bitcoin are often
• 6:00
  compared to one another. Their Bitcoin called digital
• 6:03
  gold, for example. I wonder if you think this has
• 6:06
  any ripple effects, positive or negative for Bitcoin?
• 6:10
  It it does, Bitcoin is digital gold.
• 6:13
  It's going to accelerate the migration of capital from
• 6:16
  physical gold to digital gold. You know, Bitcoin lives in
• 6:20
  cyberspace. No tariffs in cyberspace.
• 6:23
  The big appeal of Bitcoin is it's not physical.
• 6:26
  It doesn't have weight. You can settle anywhere with
• 6:30
  anybody in a few minutes. And so gold has always been too
• 6:34
  heavy, too slow, you know, and you can't really ship it across
• 6:38
  an ocean. And if you do, now you're
• 6:39
  getting tariffs. So I really think it just
• 6:42
  reminds everybody why the digital version of gold is
• 6:46
  better than the than actual physical gold.
• 6:48
  And, and I think it's going to catalyze a new wave of
• 6:52
  institutional adoption of Bitcoin.
• 6:54
  All right, crypto is stateless. It's hard to tariff, Michael.
• 6:57
  Have to leave it there. Really enjoyed speaking with
• 6:59
  you, though. That is Strategy executive
• 7:01
  chairman Michael Saylor. The US government understands
• 7:04
  that Bitcoin is an incredibly important strategic asset.
• 7:07
  Natalie Brunel just had a great conversation with the Fox
• 7:10
  Business team talking about that we're at an inflection point,
• 7:13
  that Bitcoin is one of the only assets the United States
• 7:16
  government recognizes to get us out of this deficit that we're
• 7:19
  in right now. I think we have crossed an
• 7:21
  inflection point. I think Bitcoin is here to stay
• 7:24
  and it will be a strategic reserve asset for the country
• 7:27
  and it does not threaten the US dollar.
• 7:29
  In fact, they're prioritizing stable coins right now because
• 7:32
  they want to to extend dollar dominance and provide us with
• 7:35
  more demand for U.S. Treasury debt because these
• 7:37
  stable coins have to be backed one, one to one with cash
• 7:40
  reserves or short term treasuries.
• 7:42
  That's going to extend the dollar globally.
• 7:44
  And those stable coins have really helped a lot of people in
• 7:47
  other nations that face far worse currency crises and far
• 7:50
  worse inflation that we have here in America.
• 7:52
  But Bitcoin is going to be that pristine savings, technology and
• 7:55
  capital that corporations are looking at to put on the balance
• 7:58
  sheet to strengthen against the debasement that we know is going
• 8:01
  to come. We know they're going to have to
• 8:02
  print. We know that the deficits are
• 8:04
  going to continue. And so Bitcoin is the one thing
• 8:06
  immune to that. It's the one thing no one can
• 8:07
  print. And if Bitcoin is the only thing
• 8:09
  that the government can't print or you can't inflate or
• 8:12
  manipulate, then why in the heck would you sell it?
• 8:15
  Don't work with a leader like Lenin in Bitcoin.
• 8:17
  Back loans to unlock liquidity in your Bitcoin without selling
• 8:20
  your Bitcoin. Borrow against your appreciating
• 8:23
  Bitcoin for your decreasing Fiat.
• 8:25
  The process is simple. Apply for a loan and get your
• 8:28
  account funded in less than 24 hours without a credit check.
• 8:32
  If you want a 5000 $1000 loan, you post $10,000 in Bitcoin
• 8:36
  collateral. It's held in custody away from
• 8:38
  everyone else's assets and won't be rehypothecated.
• 8:41
  Learn for yourself by going to learn dot leaden dot AO slash
• 8:44
  simply and getting started with a loan today.
• 8:46
  Again, it takes less than just two minutes.
• 8:48
  They've done $9 billion worth of loans to over 10s of thousands
• 8:51
  of customers. You're in safe hands.
• 8:53
  Get .25% off your first loan by going to learn dot leaden dot AO
• 8:57
  slash simply. One other thing is that gold can
• 9:00
  be confiscated when you go to a border.
• 9:03
  Try taking gold with you the next time you fly on an
• 9:05
  airplane. But with Bitcoin, you just have
• 9:07
  to know or remember 12 or 24 words.
• 9:10
  That's novel. That gives you sovereignty, that
• 9:12
  gives you a sense of peace and control.
• 9:14
  Well, you can only have that piece of control if you actually
• 9:17
  take self custody of your Bitcoin.
• 9:18
  Don't do it alone. Get a coach.
• 9:20
  I promise you you won't regret scheduling a free 30 minute
• 9:22
  consultation with the team at the Bitcoin way.
• 9:24
  They will help you understand how to take self custody of your
• 9:27
  Bitcoin step by step, easily, privately, safely and securely
• 9:32
  so that you can, when the time comes, be sovereign over all of
• 9:35
  your assets. Go to thebitcoinway.com/simply

• 9:41
  All right, let's finish with the rest of the segment that Natalie
• 9:43
  had with the Fox Business team. We are so, so early into
• 9:47
  Bitcoin. And I look at crypto and AI,
• 9:49
  Natalie, in the same vein. To a certain degree, these are
• 9:52
  things that President Biden and his administration were shying
• 9:55
  away from, whereas President Trump is saying they're not
• 9:58
  going anywhere. I want us to be #1 this.
• 10:00
  Industry is no longer fringe. It is found innovation we are
• 10:03
  really reimagining how value is stored and also moved in the
• 10:07
  21st century and what I'm most happy about is that the White
• 10:10
  House is actually recognizing that the most important
• 10:13
  innovation in crypto is Bitcoin. It is the core asset in this new
• 10:18
  monetary system and they're recognizing things like the
• 10:21
  essential need for the ability to self custody because that is
• 10:25
  so in line with the American value of property rights.
• 10:28
  And the White House report on digital assets this week also
• 10:32
  said that the the government is looking at plans to accumulate
• 10:35
  Bitcoin. They even mentioned a term that
• 10:37
  we have in the Bitcoin space called stacking SAT's, which is
• 10:40
  slowly accumulating Bitcoin not thinking about the, you know,
• 10:43
  daily price moves, but slowly accumulating A meaningful amount
• 10:46
  to serve strategically in our reserve.
• 10:48
  Quick, before I get to everybody else on this, because you are
• 10:50
  the expert when it comes to the Trump administration and its
• 10:53
  strategy. The more ubiquitous you a
• 10:55
  Bitcoin comes with respect to its usage out there, does it
• 10:59
  become less likely that the government or the central bank,
• 11:02
  whatever look to make Bitcoin, you know, its strategic, its
• 11:06
  currency in that way. Do the are the two things
• 11:09
  separate? If it becomes mainstream in the
• 11:11
  way that it is, then you won't use it in that way.
• 11:13
  Or can they coexist? If we get another president like
• 11:15
  Joe Biden, can they come back and say, you know what, we're
• 11:18
  going to get rid of the dollar? I think we have crossed an
• 11:20
  inflection point. I think Bitcoin is here to stay
• 11:23
  and it will be a strategic reserve asset for the country
• 11:26
  and it does not threaten the US dollar.
• 11:28
  In fact, they're prioritizing stable coins right now because
• 11:31
  they want to extend dollar dominance and provide us with
• 11:34
  more demand for U.S. Treasury debt because these
• 11:36
  stable coins have to be backed one, one to one with cash
• 11:39
  reserves or short term treasuries.
• 11:41
  That's going to extend the dollar globally.
• 11:42
  And those stable coins have really helped a lot of people in
• 11:45
  other nations that face far worse currency crises and far
• 11:49
  worse inflation that we have here in America.
• 11:51
  But Bitcoin is going to be that pristine savings, technology and
• 11:54
  capital that corporations are looking at to put on the balance
• 11:57
  sheet to strengthen against the debasement that we know is going
• 11:59
  to come. We know they're going to have to
• 12:01
  print. We know that the deficits are
• 12:03
  going to continue, and so Bitcoin is the one thing immune
• 12:05
  to that. It's the one thing no one can
• 12:06
  print. I talk to you all the time.
• 12:08
  We talk to you, we ask you questions, we learn.
• 12:10
  I got to say, and I'm embarrassed to say, but I'll be
• 12:12
  honest with everybody, Gary, I still don't really understand
• 12:15
  it. So if I really don't understand
• 12:17
  it, it's hard to get in as an investment.
• 12:18
  But yet I watch it just keep moving higher and higher and
• 12:21
  higher. And I'm thinking to myself, if
• 12:23
  there is not an aspect of My Portfolio that's invested in
• 12:25
  crypto in some way, I am losing out.
• 12:28
  You just took the words right out of my mouth.
• 12:31
  I've been saying since day one, I don't understand.
• 12:34
  I don't know what the meaning of it is.
• 12:36
  All I can tell you is as an asset, the price has just been
• 12:39
  going up, up and up, yet had a 75% drop in the last bear
• 12:44
  market. I'm thinking that's it, it's
• 12:45
  over and right back. But I do worry the next bear
• 12:50
  market in the NASDAQ that it's going to come down because it is
• 12:54
  an asset and the fear and greed factor.
• 12:57
  I what I don't understand when I hear, I think it's sailor that
• 13:01
  says it's going to 13 million in price.
• 13:03
  These are the things I don't understand.
• 13:05
  But look, I've watched you on TV for a while with big smile on
• 13:10
  your face and you've been right as rain.
• 13:11
  I can't argue the point. I never argue against price.
• 13:14
  Can I just say two things? Number one, Bitcoin priced in
• 13:17
  the S&P 500. The S&P is down 85% price in
• 13:20
  Bitcoin. You're super early.
• 13:22
  We're all very early to Bitcoin. And I say that because it is a
• 13:24
  $2 trillion market cap competing with equities, bonds, gold, real
• 13:30
  estate, which are hundreds of trillions of dollars of wealth.
• 13:33
  If we just reached 20 trillion, which is gold, that's over
• 13:35
  $1,000,000 for Bitcoin. But there's no earnings, no
• 13:38
  sales, no product and. Service feature, not a bug.
• 13:41
  Look at the Terrier plant. No chairman of the Fed, no CEO,
• 13:45
  no earnings. 30 seconds. You're winning.
• 13:46
  Most people don't even understand Bitcoin, but they're
• 13:49
  starting to recognize for people that don't understand it, that's
• 13:53
  your alpha. Michael Saylor says.
• 13:54
  Buy something that everybody needs.
• 13:56
  No one can stop and most people don't know about right now.
• 13:59
  We're still so early here. There's so much room to go and
• 14:03
  to grow. We've got people like Matt
• 14:04
  Hogan, the CIO of Bitwise, talking to countries about
• 14:08
  buying Bitcoin these days. I I think it's the same growth
• 14:10
  curve, just at different phases. It's a, it's an exponential
• 14:13
  growth curve. It's just that the, the, the
• 14:17
  sort of bank wirehouse institutional curve is so far
• 14:22
  down that now the doubling is very visible, right?
• 14:25
  Like we've we've seen a steady acceleration.
• 14:27
  We're past the hockey stick point.
• 14:29
  I think nation states are moving in that direction, right?
• 14:33
  It's not just El Salvador now we had Pakistan a little while ago.
• 14:38
  We have bit wise multiple sovereigns.
• 14:41
  We had Abu Dhabi, we've had a few others.
• 14:44
  I think it's moving in the right direction.
• 14:46
  We're just earlier in the doubling phase.
• 14:49
  But you know, look, I, I think if the US actually buys Bitcoin,
• 14:54
  I can't imagine what that does to the price or to the game
• 14:58
  theory of other companies, countries moving into the space.
• 15:01
  I, I think it would be, I don't think that's priced into the
• 15:05
  market at all. Keep things simple.
• 15:07
  Here's a simple thesis. Gold, which was hard money for
• 15:10
  the past several thousand years, outperformed the SP 500 by
• 15:14
  almost double over the last 25 years.
• 15:17
  And that's because it's a scarce asset that's measured in a
• 15:20
  debasing currency. Well, Bitcoin is they new
• 15:23
  digital gold, the gold for the 21st century and beyond.
• 15:26
  It's more scarce and it's actually built for the modern
• 15:30
  world and society that we're moving towards.
• 15:32
  Don't overcomplicate the trade. Even gas stations like Sheets
• 15:36
  are willing to give you up to 50% off of certain goods by
• 15:39
  paying in Bitcoin. That means they think it's
• 15:41
  valuable. Times are hard, employment is
• 15:43
  plummeting, prices are rising. What are you using to protect
• 15:46
  yourself and your family? The best answer is Bitcoin
• 15:49
  front. Run the government front run all
• 15:51
  of these 401K providers in getting into Bitcoin.
• 15:54
  We're going to see about $1.2 trillion worth of capital flow
• 15:57
  into this asset class from these two things alone.
• 16:00
  Don't over complicate the trade. One of the ways that you can
• 16:02
  stay sane and not over complicate things in bull
• 16:04
  markets where you have rips and roars and crashes is by
• 16:07
  connecting with bit corners in real life.
• 16:09
  You'll tend to see that the bit corners in real life are as calm
• 16:12
  and cool as the other side of the pillow when you meet them in
• 16:14
  person. Don't miss your chance to come
• 16:16
