America Becomes The World Biggest Bitcoin Whale As US Entities Dominate Global Holdings

US entities are apparently channeling their inner dragon, hoarding Bitcoin like it's the last slice of pizza at a developer meetup. According to fresh data from CryptoQuant, American players are now sitting on a whopping 65% more Bitcoin than their offshore counterparts. Talk about American exceptionalism!

The ratio of US to offshore Bitcoin holdings has been doing its own moon mission, rocketing from 1.24 in September 2024 to a jaw-dropping 1.65 today. Speaking of numbers that'll make your head spin, Bitcoin itself pulled a moment by touching $108,135 before deciding to take a breather at $93,000.

But who's behind this Stars-and-Stripes Bitcoin bonanza? Enter MicroStrategy, the corporate world's biggest Bitcoin holder, who just couldn't resist adding another 1,070 BTC to their treasure chest at a cool $94,004 per coin. That brings their total stash to 447,470 BTC – or as I like to call it, 2.1% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist.

Meanwhile, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have been absolutely crushing it, raking in a mind-boggling $106.8 billion in inflows since their January 2024 launch. But it's not all moonshots and lambos – the market's currently experiencing what analysts are calling a "healthy correction.

In the past 24 hours, we've seen $521 million liquidated from the crypto market, with $345 million of that coming from long positions. Why? Well, it seems the Fed's monetary policy plans for 2025 are about as popular as a bug in the code. Add in some spicy job data that came in hotter than a overclocked mining rig, and you've got yourself a recipe for what the pros call a "risk-off sentiment.

Satya Nadella Just Promised To Turn 10 Million Indians Into AI Masters By 2030

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella swaggering into Bengaluru (like a boss!) to announce what he's calling their "single largest expansion" in India - a whopping $3 billion investment spread over two years. That's enough zeros to make your calculator sweat!

But wait, there's more! Microsoft isn't just throwing money at the wall to see what sticks. They're cooking up a massive AI training feast that would make even GPT-4 jealous. We're talking about training 500,000 people in AI by 2026, and then cranking it up to 10 million people by 2030! That's not just ambitious; that's "trying to eat a whole pizza in one bite" ambitious!

The guest list for this AI party? Everyone's invited! We're talking students, teachers, developers, government officials, and women entrepreneurs. It's like the most inclusive tech party ever, and Microsoft's Azure cloud platform is playing host!

But here's where it gets even juicier - Microsoft's not going solo on this adventure. They're partnering up with some of India's biggest names: RailTel, Apollo Hospitals, Bajaj Finserv, Mahindra Group, and upGrad. It's like the tech equivalent of forming an Avengers team, but with more coding and less alien invasions!

And for all you startup enthusiasts out there, hold onto your pitch decks because Microsoft's Founders Hub is extending its benefits to 1,000 AI startups in India. We're talking Azure credits, business resources, and mentorship - basically everything but a time machine to see if your startup becomes a unicorn!

NVIDIA Just Revealed A Supercomputer That Fits In Your Hand And Blockchain Will Never Be The Same

140,000 people packed tighter than tokens in a smart contract, watching as Jansen Huang kicked off the show with a mind-bending digital twin of NVIDIA itself. Talk about taking "copy and paste" to a whole new level! Even Even CTA founder Gary Shapiro couldn't resist throwing some playful shade, quipping about how he'd be sipping piña coladas on a beach if he'd invested in NVIDIA back in the day.

Jensen Huang hit the CES stage in Vegas like a tech rockstar, casually flexing NVIDIA's Drive Thor processor in his hand.

But let's dive into the juiciest announcement - Project DIGITS This pocket-sized AI supercomputer can handle 200B-parameter models in something smaller than your average gaming controller. Stack two together, and you're looking at processing 405B parameters. It's like having a whole data center in your pocket, minus the electricity bill!

Speaking of groundbreaking tech, NVIDIA's Omniverse got a serious upgrade with their new 'Mega' blueprint. Imagine creating an entire virtual factory before laying a single brick - it's like SimCity meets Industry 4.0. And when you sprinkle some blockchain magic on top, you've got yourself a tamper-proof, secure digital twin.

But the cherry on top? Jensen's bold prediction about the "ChatGPT moment for robotics." We're talking about revolutionizing a $50 trillion industry with AI-powered robots. It's like the industrial revolution got an upgrade, and this time, it's wearing a blockchain-secured, AI-powered suit. Agentic AI stole the show and became the hottest gossip at CES 2025

An Oklahoma Pastor Just Wrote A Bill That Could Make Bitcoin Salaries Legal And Its Actually Happening

State Senator Dusty Deevers has introduced what might be the most exciting thing to hit Oklahoma since the invention of the electric bull - the Bitcoin Freedom Act! This isn't your average piece of legislation; it's like a love letter to financial freedom with a Bitcoin twist.

The bill, officially known as SB325, is serving up a whole menu of crypto goodies. We're talking about letting employees collect their paychecks in Bitcoin (because who needs boring old dollars when you can have digital gold?), and businesses can start accepting BTC.

But wait, there's more! Deevers isn't just pushing this bill; he's throwing shade at Washington D.C. like it's his job (which, technically, it kind of is). His exact words? "If Washington D.C. can ruin something, it likely will. And it is certainly ruining the US dollar." That's the kind of spicy take that makes inflation statistics blush 😝

Speaking of spicy takes, our pastor-turned-politician didn't stop there. He took aim at CBDCs with the precision of a digital marksman, calling them out for enabling government overreach. Meanwhile, he's praising Bitcoin like it's the financial promised land, highlighting its "decentralized, censorship-resistant design."

The timing couldn't be more interesting, with US inflation climbing back up to 2.7% since September 2024. And let's not forget that Oklahoma‘s already got some serious crypto street cred after Governor Kevin Stitt‘s pro-blockchain law from May 2024. This new bill, up for consideration starting February 3rd, could make Oklahoma the new promised land for Bitcoin believers.
