Yesterday, the head of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor met with Donald Trump's son Eric Trump in Mar-a-Lago. They have not publicly disclosed what their meeting was about, but they probably discussed issues related to cryptocurrency, which is why rumors have emerged that the creation of a strategic BTC reserve in the United States may be done in 2025, after Trump's inauguration.

🇺🇸Today, the 119th US Congress will be held, where new politicians will take the oath, while the Republicans will have a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

BTC rally above $97k, ETFs saw $247 million in outflows, with BlackRock seeing its largest outflow since the ETF's launch, at $332 million.

🗣Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich says: "Japan looks to the US as an older brother. If Trump goes further, Japan and other Asian countries will follow suit. That's how it works."
