Canada Is In a Technical Recession - What's Next for a Country That Has Hit the Skids? | The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast 267 Pt 2

Michael Saylor just broke the one rule he built his empire on. Strategy (MSTR) sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022 — 32 BTC, ~$2.5M — and the "never sell" era is officially over.He's calling it "inoculating the market." Genius move… or the first crack in the $61B Bitcoin machine? Full breakdown below 👇PLUS Three anonymous parties just asked a New York court to hand them Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin — roughly 3.8 MILLION BTC (~$293B) across 39,069 dormant wallets — using a "lost property" law written for found umbrellas. On this week's Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast we break down the most audacious legal attack on Bitcoin's supply in history, why it could hit a default judgment as soon as late June, and the one reason it almost certainly fails: you can't seize coins you don't hold the keys to.We also cover the week's biggest Bitcoin and Canadian stories: Tether tightening its grip on Twenty One Capital ($XXI) and what it means for Jack Mallers and Strike, the Bitcoin treasury model cracking (Metaplanet's mNAV collapse and Sequans unwinding its entire stack), Kraken's 2.5% Bitcoin yield vault, the "Mined in America" bill and Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — plus the Canadian file: Mark Carney's $195K flight catering bill, Ontario mortgage delinquencies up 52%, and a technical recession nobody in Ottawa wants to name.Not your keys, not your coins has never been more literal.

Alberta Separation - The Game is Rigged | Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast 265 Pt 2

Iran just launched Hormuz Safe — a Bitcoin-settled maritime insurance platform routing $10B in Strait of Hormuz shipping AROUND SWIFT. Bitcoin is now a geopolitical settlement layer. Canada take note.Iran's Ministry of Economy quietly switched on "Hormuz Safe" on May 16 — a state-backed platform that lets shipping companies buy insurance for transit through the Strait of Hormuz and settle the premiums in Bitcoin. Coverage activates the moment the on-chain confirmation lands. The Islamic Republic is projecting more than $10 billion in annual revenue from a service explicitly designed to bypass SWIFT, dollar rails, and Western insurers. The Strait carries roughly 20% of global oil. Bitcoin is no longer a retail speculation — it's a sovereign workaround layer for the most contested chokepoint on the planet.

Nate Erskine-Smith, Diaspora Politics and a Hard Lesson for Liberals | CBP 264 Pt 2

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion.
