Episode: The Surge, the Strategists, and the Shifting Global Narrative

Welcome back to The Bitcoin Street Journal Market Update, where we break down the latest in Bitcoin news, market trends, and everything you need to know to stay ahead in this ever-evolving space. I’m your host, Anna, and today, we’ve got an action-packed episode for you, filled with some of the most seismic shifts in Bitcoin adoption that we’ve seen in a while.

From cities like Vancouver in Canada studying how to adopt Bitcoin into their financial reserves, to major Bitcoin miners like Marathon Digital Holdings making massive moves, we’re seeing more than just the typical bullish price action — we’re seeing Bitcoin integrated into real-world strategies on a scale we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago.
