This week's biggest Bitcoin news
Bitcoin had a loaded week. Here are my 5 favorite things I came across:
1. **Bitcoin ownership just passed gold ownership in the US**, for the first time ever. More Americans now hold Bitcoin than hold gold.
2. **BlackRock, Strategy, Coinbase, and six other major firms pledged $15 million** to fund the open source developers who secure Bitcoin's code. Big focus is preparing Bitcoin for quantum computing threats down the road.
3. **Kazakhstan approved a national Bitcoin reserve** funded directly by its own miners. Miners get cheap locked-in power, the government takes a cut of what's mined.
4. **Russia passed its first real crypto law**. Doesn't make Bitcoin legal tender there, but it does open a state approved lane for using crypto in foreign trade, basically a workaround for sanctions.
5. **Two big names shut down.** BitMEX (a major exchange, 11 years in business) is closing for good. Poolin (once one of the biggest Bitcoin mining pools on Earth) filed for bankruptcy. Same week.
