Well, shiver me timbers! Bitcoin, the old sea dog of cryptocurrencies, took a tumble and then a jig, bouncing back a solid 4% on March 7th. It seems the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve didn’t quite tickle the fancy of the market, but ol’ BTC didn’t stay down for long. 🎢
The data, as slippery as an eel, showed BTC/USD clawing its way back from the depths of $84,713 on Bitstamp. The cause of the kerfuffle? None other than President Trump signing off on a executive order to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, filled to the brim with confiscated coins. No “new” BTC here, just the spoils of justice! 🏴☠️
David Sacks, the White House’s very own crypto czar, took to X to lament the premature sales of bitcoin, which he reckons cost the taxpayers a pretty penny. But fear not! The feds have a cunning plan to maximize the value of their loot, without picking the pockets of hardworking Americans. 💰
“The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.”
JUST NOW!

The market, quicker than a jackrabbit on a date, initially took a dive as the bulls’ dreams of a BTC bonanza were dashed. The Kobeissi Letter, a trading resource with more wisdom than a sagebrush owl, called it a “clear sell the news event” with expectations falling flatter than a pancake in a high wind. 🐸
But lo and behold, the Asia trading session brought with it a renewed vigor, setting the stage for the White House Crypto Summit. The industry veterans, with skin as thick as a rhino’s hide, weren’t about to let a little news rattle them. BitQuant, a voice as loud as a foghorn in the mist, chided the panickers for not seeing the bullish signs all around. 🌟
Charles Edwards, the founder of Capriole Investments and a man with the nerves of a riverboat gambler, described the market as “excessively short” at the sub-$85,000 lows. “Bitcoin always overreacts on news,” he said, with a shrug that could be felt across the seven seas. 🎲
Brace Yourselves, Folks: Jobs and Fed’s Powell to Stir the Crypto Pot
But hold your horses! The day wasn’t just about the reserve. The US employment data was set to drop like a hammer, and Jerome Powell, the Chair of the Federal Reserve and a man with the power to move markets with a mere whisper, was poised to give a speech. 📈
A week after the Fed’s “preferred” inflation gauge left no one particularly surprised, the market’s been buzzing like a beehive about interest rate cuts. The CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, a contraption as complex as a steam engine, showed a 11% chance of a cut at the March meeting, with the odds climbing higher than a kite in a tornado for May. 💸
