THIS TIME SWITZERLAND
Switzerland has approved a motion to study the feasibility of Bitcoin mining, marking a step towards wider acceptance of the cryptocurrency by the government and the traditional financial system. The decision, backed by the Council of State, aims to explore how Bitcoin mining could harness excess energy and contribute to the stability of the regional electricity grid in the Canton of Bern.
The council is tasked with submitting a detailed report assessing the potential benefits and challenges of Bitcoin mining. This includes identifying unused energy sources, collaborating with local mining companies, and examining whether mining operations could help stabilize the electricity grid. Lawmakers believe that Bitcoin mining could turn excess energy into an economic opportunity, especially in areas with negative electricity prices.

NEW PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP (AI)
President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to appoint an “AI czar” to centralize U.S. policy on artificial intelligence (AI) and strengthen the nation’s leadership in this transformative technology. Along with this, Trump is also considering creating the role of “Crypto czar” to guide blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation.
The AI Czar will be tasked with overseeing federal AI policy, collaborating with agency officials, and driving innovation while addressing key challenges such as efficiency and fraud prevention. The move aligns with Trump’s broader goals of encouraging technological growth and supporting private sector investment. Elon Musk, a key player in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is expected to influence the selection process for the position, though he is unlikely to take on the role himself.

EXPERIENCED PARENTS ALREADY SING AGAIN WHAT DOES IT MEAN??
In a recent interview with CEO Today, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared that he has personally held Bitcoin for the past three years as part of his diversified investment approach. Cook emphasized that this decision was entirely personal and unrelated to Apple’s corporate strategy.
He also clarified that the tech giant has no intention of incorporating cryptocurrency into its operations, either through payment systems or corporate investments, in the future. While acknowledging Bitcoin’s potential, Cook stressed that Apple is prioritizing its core business areas, such as smartphones, computers, wearables, and related services. While Apple supports crypto and blockchain applications through its App Store, it has no plans to deepen its involvement in the crypto space in the near future.

Crypto interest among investors in Singapore is soaring, according to a new survey by Sygnum. The Future Finance 2024 survey conducted by the global digital asset banking group revealed that 57% of institutional investors in the Little Red Dot (Singapore’s nickname) plan to increase their crypto holdings in the next year, higher than the global average of 47%.
#marketdownturn
“Singaporean investors on average show a higher risk appetite and investment motivation compared to respondents from other countries,” Sygnum said in its report.
The growing confidence in digital assets as an investor is also due to regulatory uncertainty no longer being a major barrier for Singaporean investors. 75% believe that regulatory clarity around the digital asset industry will continue to improve. Crypto ETFs are another stimulant to increased investment, with 73% citing the product as a confidence booster for the asset class. #BTC☀ #Altacoins

GOVERNMENT OF BHUTAN BTC
The government of Bhutan now holds more than $1 billion in Bitcoin (BTC), fueled by the cryptocurrency’s surge in value this year, according to new data shared by Arkham Intelligence. While the country recently transferred $65 million worth of Bitcoin to Binance, it continues to mine more, following a trend of countries building up national Bitcoin reserves.
Bhutan’s approach reflects a broader trend among national Bitcoin holders. El Salvador, for example, has committed to holding onto its large Bitcoin holdings no matter the price. In the US, Donald Trump has pledged to create a national Bitcoin reserve if elected, fueling interest in the government’s digital asset. These commitments reflect growing confidence in Bitcoin as a sovereign asset.
