No new info, no depth, just sensationalism over substance. The Telegraph just dropped another lazy, clickbait Bitcoin article. It tries to link the UK’s budget deficit to government crypto procurement and floats the idea of selling 61,250 bitcoin right in the middle of a bull market. The UKs bitcoin is still legally contested. Chinese authorities and victims are demanding it back. No sale can happen while that legal process is unresolved.

When they do sell, it’ll be typical if it ends up happening at the bottom again. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/07/19/britain-sitting-billions-bitcoin-can-rescue-reeves/

“I do find this all fascinating. I don't think we have heard the last of it. This is gonna be the thing of the future!” - Ali Miraj, LBC Today I joined Ali on LBC to talk about Bitcoin including the GENIUS Act, Elizabeth Warren’s concerns, and growing interest from pension funds.

Trump plans to open Bitcoin access to American pensions, unlocking a $9 trillion pool of capital. Just 1% = $90 billion. Then when you look at global AUM which is around $115 trillion you start to see the scale of where this could go. Larry Fink said that 2–5% allocations from sovereign and institutional funds could potentially push Bitcoin to $700K+. Everything’s bleeding into Bitcoin, pensions, ETFs, corporates, even countries. But in the UK? We still can’t buy a spot Bitcoin ETF. And financial advisors still can’t recommend it. 🤨
