BlackRock’s IBIT ETF is nearing $100B in AUM, less than two years after launch in Jan 2024. It now holds more bitcoin than MicroStrategy, and is second only to the estimated holdings attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto. This is exposure, not ownership.

In 2013, Pavel Durov bought thousands of bitcoin, not to speculate, but to secure independence.
More than a decade later, that decision proved crucial.
From August 2024 to March 2025, he was held under judicial supervision in France. He couldn’t leave the country, but his wealth remained intact, beyond the reach of courts, banks, or borders.
“Bitcoin allowed me to stay afloat,” he says on a recent episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast
Our new article explores how Bitcoin helped Durov maintain personal sovereignty, and why that matters now more than ever.

“Sometimes I get a little concerned around Bitcoin getting ahead of its skis. Other times I get a little concerned around gold getting ahead of its skis. Right now… I’d put my vote for Bitcoin.” – Lynn Alden
Markets may feel uneasy, headlines may lean doom-and-gloom, and gold may still shine brighter for some investors.
But Alden’s message is steady: Bitcoin is well positioned for the next 6–12 months and, likely, for the decade beyond.
For individuals looking to protect themselves in an economy running on debt and political short-termism, it’s one of the strongest tools available.
