Hal Finney said in 2010 that Bitcoin would NOT solely scale as money. He was right. STRC is what he meant. @YChoueifaty says tokenized STRC is perfect for billions of people who have nothing but dollars in a mattress. @apyx_fi, @bucktoken & others are already building it. 👇

35% APR — the highest Buck yield available right now. Campaign 2 live now through April 6th. Provide liquidity to the BUCK/USDC pool on @CurveFinance BUCK rewards + Buck Points for LPs. Early pool = outsized rewards for early depositors. This is the ground floor. Mint via Buck: app.buck.io Claim via Merkl: app.merkl.xyz/opportunities/…

Thanks for the shoutout @saylor, let's do this!

In our brand new sit-down, I handed @saylor every anti-Bitcoin argument the internet has and he responded to ALL of them. I dare any Bitcoin critic to watch this interview and not reconsider at least one of their arguments. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Michael Saylor address Bitcoin bear market and negative sentiment 8:37 Big Tech was once doubted but ultimately won 10:22 Why Bitcoin didn’t hit higher price predictions 16:57 Long-term return expectations 23:12 Why retail didn't participate in last bull market 33:55 How is $STRC performing? 56:49 Handling the critics and volatility cycles 1:13:54 Is quantum computing a threat to Bitcoin? 1:33:47 What's the strongest argument against Bitcoin? 1:35:53 Does Strategy's Bitcoin cost basis matter? 1:43:30 Bitcoin mentioned in the Epstein files

It’s official. $BUCK is now 10% yield. 🚀🦌🤘

@lopp @Croesus_BTC We buy real bitcoin. We don’t rehypothecate.

2026 is the year we stop settling for idle dollars. If your stablecoin isn't earning you 7% minute-by-minute, it’s not an asset—it’s a liability to your purchasing power. Move smarter. Move to $BUCK 🦌🤘

@BurismaConsult @BuckToken You can redeem Buck for USDC anytime on buck.io. Plenty of liquidity on chain.

@BuckToken How will you guys increase liquidity? This is a great way to increase your money denominated in Buck - but how will you get Buck back into USDT or BTC w/out liquidity?

Most people save backwards: they spend first and save the leftovers. The world's first SavingsCoin flips that script. Automate a weekly or monthly move into $BUCK, the Bitcoin-minded dollar that targets 7% rewards for savers. Not for US persons. Not financial or investment advice.

Sorry to interrupt the love fest over this NYSE announcement, but this reads like vaporware and yet another corporate fantasy masquerading as innovation. I am happy to be proven wrong, but everything they've put out so far leaves out all the crucial details: - Which chain? - What programming language or VM? - Which stablecoins? - What jurisdictions? Will it be domestic or global? - Will the tokens be permissioned, permissionless, or some hybrid? - What will be the fees and economics be - ICE is a for profit entity - Why do we even need this when we have DeFi? The fact that they are seeking regulatory clarity makes the lack of details even more suspect - regulators would need all of these questions answered for approval. The NYSE is a centuries old institution that owes its entire existence to laws and regulations that guarantee its profits and success. The success of every person who works there, and every cent of its profits, stems directly from this highly centralized and oligopolistic architecture, one built around core principles like delayed settlement that don't exist in crypto. Tokenization represents a radically different architecture. It requires different skills and business models to be useful. It changes things. It is highly unlikely that a TradFi firm like the ICE succeeds at both. It would be great for society if they did, but that's usually not how things work. Those of who have been in crypto for more than a cycle have heard this story before. It always ends the same way. The suit simps will be disappointed yet again.

@davidmarcus @spark Flashnet is interesting, but USDB is backed by fiat, the original shitcoin, why not just use @BuckToken?

Checking account: USD. Saving account: BTC. Hold dollars, earn Bitcoin. All on @spark. Could be big...

🇺🇸 COINBASE CEO JUST EXPOSED BANKS SCAM LIVE ON CNBC IN DAVOS: “BANKS ARE LENDING CUSTOMERS' DEPOSITS WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION” THIS IS WILD

Gold is eternal. It’s the largest store of value in human history—over $21 trillion—and physically indestructible. But after 8 years running a physical gold fund, I realized something shocking: Bitcoin is better. Here’s why 🧵

A different approach to crypto savings is taking shape through indirect BTC backing via Strategy’s STRC. Founder @travisv explains how @BuckToken structure shapes the Bitcoin Dollar and what that means for yield, governance, and long-term capital design. dlnews.com/research/inter…

Welcome back to The Bitcoin Treasuries Podcast. Today's guest is Travis VanderZanden, Founder of @BuckToken.

Excited to have @CornBrother0x from Binance Eng join us @BuckToken!

This is what makes Bitcoin treasury companies so important. @Saylor didn’t try to compete with banks on deposits. He bypassed them entirely. Preferred stock like $STRC is the perfect wrapper. Investors get an 11% yield without fractional reserve risk, and the company raises long-term capital without deposit flight. Banks can’t offer that without breaking their own model. That’s why Bitcoin credit is inevitable. $MSTR $MTPLF

Thanks for coming by @TimKotzman

Bitcoin under $100k is the modern equivalent of boomers buying houses under $100k. It will feel obvious in hindsight, and most people will wish they took it more seriously while it was still there.

2 Goats (@saylor 🐐 and @cryptohayes 🐐) coming together for 1 glorious 2026?
