My new piece @PostOpinions articulates the best way to end the government shutdown. Republicans should offer a 1- or 2-year extension of Biden’s enhanced Obamacare subsidies, in exchange for permanent reform of the law’s costly insurance regulations.

JUST IN: $600 MILLION STRIVE CSO JUST SAID THAT MICHAEL SAYLOR'S STRATEGY IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST UNDERVALUED COMPANIES CRITICS ARE "VALUING THEIR #BITCOIN AT $0" "THEY ARE MASSIVELY OVER COLLATERALIZED" "THIS COULD BE A $1 TRILLION COMPANY" 🔥

Out of the numerous successes Strive had in our first six months as a public company, the most important was cementing our foundation as a structured finance company laser focused on digital credit. We see a multi-trillion dollar opportunity for digital credit to scale in the years to come. We believe our digital credit product, SATA, provides a liquid and scalable solution for investors targeting double-digit yield with minimal volatility. We’re focused on building a track record of success for SATA by maintaining a stable trading range and keeping a strong balance sheet, which we believe will generate attractive long-term returns to our common equity stockholders vs our Bitcoin hurdle rate. $ASST $SATA

The best audiences for Digital Credit is not the Bitcoin community. It’s cash flow investors like traditional Real Estate investors. Enjoyed this conversation and plan to tell the world about Digital Credit over the years to come. $SATA $STRC

THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

TODAY 🚨: The Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies the application of federal securities laws to crypto assets. This is a major step to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission’s treatment of crypto assets. Read the release here: ow.ly/XhhV50YvxvO

First time Israeli officials tell the Iranian public: You can go out, we are protecting you.

Reports of mass gatherings of citizens on the streets are coming from Tehran and and nearby Gohardasht. People are participating in street celebrations and shouting slogans about the actual end of the Ayatollahs' power.

This week on the @HurdleRatePod the Strive team provided an update & context surrounding the recent changes to $SATA, our balance sheet update, and what that means for Strive. Lots of information in a compressed format. Tune in!

A generation ago, Poland rationed sugar and flour while its citizens were paid one-tenth what West Germans earned. Today its economy has edged past Switzerland to become the world’s 20th largest with over $1 trillion in annual output. nbcnews.com/business/econo…

Remember a few weeks ago when pundits were declaring that bitcoin was dead as safe haven asset vs. gold? Since March 2, 2026, gold is down 6.5% and bitcoin is up 11.8%.

No society reaches this point overnight. Moments like this are the result of decades of censorship, suffering, repression, and the dismal economic failure of Cuban central planning. The Cuban people are demanding what every human being deserves: dignity, freedom, and a voice.

En la mañana del 14 de marzo de 2019, la bandera estadounidense fue arriada por última vez en la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en Caracas. Esta mañana, 14 de marzo de 2026, a la misma hora, mi equipo y yo izamos la bandera de los Estados Unidos—exactamente siete años después de haber sido retirada. Ha comenzado una nueva era para las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y Venezuela. Seguimos con Venezuela. – LFD

Did we say thank you?

Indescriptible lo que vivimos en Santiago de Chile… Los venezolanos ya no somos los mismos, hoy tenemos una generación lista para construir un país luminoso y gritarle al mundo con orgullo “SOY VENEZOLANO”!!

Este es quizá el video más impresionante de la concentración de Venezolanos en Chile para recibir a María Corina Machado 🤯 Los que juraban que su popularidad estaba disminuyendo se acaban de quedar sin internet

URGENTE: María Corina Machado pisó Santiago de Chile… y la ciudad se vino abajo. Miles de venezolanos en las calles, banderas ondeando, lágrimas, abrazos y gritos de ¡LIBERTAD! Después de años de exilio y persecución, su pueblo la recibió como a una presidenta. Locura absoluta y total. 🇻🇪🇨🇱
