Brown University’s $4.9M allocation to BlackRock’s IBIT ETF isn’t just a headline—it’s a signal. When Ivy League endowments and state pensions like Wisconsin’s start stacking sats, it’s clear: Bitcoin is no longer fringe. The institutional era of crypto isn’t coming—it’s here.…


“Markets are jittery, headlines are chaotic, and yet… institutions are quietly stacking sats. 🧠 With the U.S. establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and endowments entering the space, the smart money sees beyond the noise. Short-term volatility? Just background music to a…


Building a Bitcoin strategic reserve isn’t just a hedge—it’s a forward-thinking monetary strategy. With states exploring Bitcoin reserves and endowments gaining access, we’re seeing real institutional adoption, regardless of short-term price moves. The infrastructure is…


Having lived in San Francisco for a year and Chicago for eight, I thought I had seen the worst of urban decline. But after a recent trip back to SF, I have to admit—Chicago has it worse. Yes, SF has its challenges, but at least it has world-class food, stunning landscapes, and a…

Exciting to see my former employer, @BitwiseInvest , secure a $70M investment—including from MIT’s endowment fund! Institutional confidence in crypto keeps growing, and it’s incredible to see Bitwise leading the charge. Big moment for the space. #Crypto #InstitutionalAdoption

Traditional portfolios aren’t cutting it anymore. Institutional investors are shifting into alternative assets—crypto, private credit, infrastructure, and real assets—to hedge against inflation & volatility. Diversification isn’t just a buzzword anymore. It’s a necessity.…


Sunday nights rewatching the Disney movies I grew up with just hit different now—because the best part is sharing them with my 2-year-old daughter. ✨ Seeing the magic through her eyes makes them even better. Some things never get old. 🎥🍿 #Disney #DadLife #WeekendVibes


Every cycle, people rediscover that self-custody matters—usually the hard way. Exchanges freeze withdrawals, protocols get exploited, and suddenly ‘not your keys, not your coins’ isn’t just a meme. Some lessons don’t need to be learned twice. 🔑 #Bitcoin #Crypto #SelfCustody

Crypto companies are walking in the front door at the SEC to have constructive conversations about what good policy should look like. For the first time ever. Literally. We've barely begun to unlock crypto's potential in the USA. The next couple years are going to be massive.


Dogecoin just got the institutional treatment! Grayscale launching a $DOGE Trust is another sign that meme coins aren’t just for the internet degenerates anymore. Love it or hate it, liquidity flows where the attention is. 👀 More here: investopedia.com/grayscale-laun… #Crypto


Kraken doubled revenue in 2024, surpassing $1B in spot trading fees alone. With record signups, deep liquidity, and institutional demand surging, the momentum is only getting stronger. Regulatory clarity + crypto adoption = 🚀 Read more: blog.kraken.com/news/kraken-20… #Kraken #Crypto


The Czech National Bank is considering allocating up to 5% of its €140bn reserves into Bitcoin, aiming to diversify assets. If approved, it would be the first Western central bank to hold crypto assets. #CryptoNews #Bitcoin #Finance #Banking
