A Michigan couple just bought a house with Bitcoin

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 21:31:00 +0000

Crypto woke up grumpy this week. Prices are bleeding red across most majors, on-chain activity is at multi-year lows, and yet the policy and product side has not been this busy in months. From a first-of-its-kind Bitcoin mortgage in Michigan to six senators ganging up on a bank rule that punishes crypto holdings, the structural story moved faster than the price chart. Here is what we are watching.

If You'd Followed Nancy Pelosi's Stock Picks, You'd Be 43% Richer Than Everyone Else

If you had followed Nancy Pelosi's stock picks for the last few years, you'd have outperformed the market by over 40%.

In 2024 alone, her portfolio gained 71% while the market returned just 28%.

In 2023, she earned 65% returns while the S&P 500 gained only 24%.

That's what happens when you have access to information the rest of us don't.

It's pretty clear to anyone with eyes that there's a big club of "insiders" trading ahead of everyday Americans.

Congressional leaders outperform rank-and-file lawmakers by up to 47% per year, according to researchers.

The game is rigged. It always has been.

But here's what most Americans have no idea about: The latest insider opportunity is happening right now.

And it's bigger than any stock trade Pelosi has ever made.

Buried within Trump's plans is a new strategy on gold. One that hasn't been used in the last 100 years.

Gold revaluation.

The U.S. government still carries 8,133 tonnes of gold on its books at $42.22 per ounce - a price frozen since 1973.

Trump has the legal authority to correct this error with a single executive order.

When he does, it will be the greatest wealth transfer in modern history.

And just like with Pelosi's stock trades, the insiders are already positioning themselves.

This new guide reveals how everyday Americans can position themselves alongside the insiders.

It's called The Great Gold Reset.

A Bitcoin Mortgage Just Closed in Michigan

A couple in Ann Arbor just walked into the first Fannie Mae-backed mortgage in U.S. history secured by Bitcoin, and they did not sell a single satoshi to make it happen. Better Mortgage originated the loan, Coinbase custodies the collateral, and the structure deliberately carries no margin calls if BTC drops. There is already a $250 million waitlist and a nationwide summer 2026 rollout in the works.

See how the two-loan structure actually works.

Bitcoin's Network Just Went Quiet

The 60-day moving average of active addresses on Bitcoin has dropped to roughly 600,000, a level not seen since the depths of the 2019 bear market. Price is down more than 26% year-to-date, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have bled around $4.4 billion in net outflows, and rivals like Solana and Tron are absorbing the stablecoin transaction demand Bitcoin used to share. Some of this is structural, some of it is cyclical, and the difference matters a lot for what comes next.

Read why analysts are watching Q3 closely.

Six Senators Take Aim at the 1,250% Rule

A Basel Committee standard currently forces banks to set aside 12.5 times the value of every dollar of Bitcoin they hold, which is exactly why your bank is not in this market. Six Republican senators, including Cynthia Lummis, just sent a formal letter to the Fed, FDIC, and OCC arguing that the rule is punishing and arbitrary. Their push lines up with the CLARITY Act moving through the Senate, which would expand what banks can legally do with crypto on their balance sheets. If both land together, the institutional on-ramp gets a lot wider.

Get the full breakdown of what these senators are asking for.

Pulling back, the through-line this week is interesting. The market is quiet at the surface, but the rails being built underneath are not. Mortgages, capital rules, ETF plumbing, network competition. The price will move when the structure is ready. Forward this to a friend who has been waiting for a reason to pay attention again, and we will see you next week.
