U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the traditional financial system as slow and outdated, arguing that cryptocurrencies offer a faster and more efficient alternative. Speaking on the future of money and technology, Trump said blockchain-based systems could modernize payments, reduce friction, and challenge legacy financial infrastructure that relies on intermediaries and delayed settlements. His remarks signal a notable shift in tone toward crypto, framing digital assets as a potential solution to long-standing inefficiencies in global finance rather than a threat to it.

Michael Saylor said quantum computing will ultimately strengthen Bitcoin rather than weaken it, dismissing fears that future quantum machines could break the network’s security. MicroStrategy co-founder argued that advances in quantum computing would push Bitcoin and the broader cryptographic ecosystem toward even stronger security standards. Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin is designed to adapt, noting that as computing power increases, encryption methods also evolve, making the network more resilient over time. He described quantum computing not as an existential threat, but as another technological phase that will reinforce Bitcoin’s robustness and longevity in the digital age.

Jack Mallers has launched a new Bitcoin-native company named Twenty One Capital, which has now gone public after merging with Cantor Equity Partners. The company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker XXI, debuting with more than 43,500 Bitcoin in its treasury—one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holdings on a public market. Backed by major players including Tether and SoftBank Group, the firm aims to build financial infrastructure entirely around Bitcoin rather than operating only as a holding company.
