America’s Geopolitical Reset

The U.S. is shifting from global dominance to a more defined sphere of influence, prioritizing bilateral and regional alliances over globalist ideology.

• Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia and the broader GCC signals a push to align Gulf capital with U.S. strategic goals.
  

• In exchange for AI chips, arms deals, and access to U.S. markets, Gulf states are being integrated into a new U.S.-led bloc that excludes China.
  

• This is a redefinition of Pax Americana—no longer about ideals, but about power, supply chains, and economic leverage.
  

• Technology, energy, and capital are the battlegrounds of this new “great game.”
  

• This reset is happening not by choice, but because U.S. fiscal and diplomatic constraints require it.

The Treasury Trap and Hard Asset Remonetization

With over $9 trillion in U.S. debt maturing this year, the Treasury market has become a geopolitical pressure point.

• The U.S. needs buyers for long-duration debt, but can’t rely solely on the Fed or organic market demand.
  

• Instead, it may pressure allies—like Japan or Saudi Arabia—to absorb debt through strategic agreements or backdoor QE.
  

• Financial repression is coming: someone has to take real losses on low-yield debt in a high-inflation world.
  

• As confidence erodes, sovereigns are returning to hard assets. Gold is already remonetizing.
  

• The U.S. may quietly favor Bitcoin as a reserve asset—it owns more BTC (est. 35–40%) than gold (8–10%), giving it asymmetric leverage.

Bitcoin as a Strategic Reserve Asset

The “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” went from internet meme to official policy in under a year.

• Included in Trump’s March executive order, agencies are now tasked with finding budget-neutral ways to acquire Bitcoin.
  

• This could include oil and gas royalties, asset forfeitures, seized cartel funds, or reallocated gold reserves.
  

• The ambiguity of “budget-neutral” is intentional—it gives the government flexibility to accumulate BTC without direct spending.
  

• If remonetization of hard assets is inevitable, Bitcoin gives the U.S. a first-mover advantage over rivals like China and Russia.
  

• The U.S. doesn’t need to announce accumulation. It can happen quietly—just like strategic oil reserves.

Bitbonds and the Reinvention of Sovereign Debt

Bitbonds are a proposed way to attach Bitcoin exposure to U.S. government debt—essentially combining hard asset upside with traditional fixed income.

• This would allow the U.S. to issue lower-coupon debt by offering Bitcoin-linked upside to investors.
  

• It could attract long-duration buyers (e.g., pension funds, sovereigns) without openly debasing the dollar.
  

• Bitbonds would also serve as a stealth mechanism for filling the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
  

• Instead of announcing “we’re buying BTC,” the U.S. could accumulate it through structured sovereign finance tools.
  

• It’s not a Bitcoin standard—but it’s a Trojan horse for monetary realignment.

Strategic Capital in the Shadows: Tether, UAPs, and the Deep State's Bitcoin Bet

Beyond headlines, Bitcoin may already be entangled with U.S. strategic capital flows.

• Tether, FTX, and other entities have long operated in financial gray zones—useful to intelligence-linked operations.
  

• Matt argues that parts of the U.S. government have likely seen Bitcoin as a tool—not just an asset—for years.
  

• From covert finance to energy infrastructure and UAP research, Bitcoin sits at the intersection of technology and statecraft.
  

• The most compelling metaphor: Bitcoin is “Chekhov’s gun” on the geopolitical table—placed there, waiting to be picked up.
  

• Whether via defense-aligned VCs or the Strategic Reserve, signs point to the state being quietly long Bitcoin.
