Matt breaks down why the pro-crypto order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump is such big news and how the DeepSeek AI news is shaping the crypto market. He also covers MicroStrategy’s latest Bitcoin buy, significant altcoin news, and more.

Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin (BTC) held above $100,000 despite a significant sell-off in stock markets, particularly in the tech sector. We still expect prices to climb a lot higher this year, partially due to the arrival of the first pro-crypto administration in the U.S.
  • U.S. President Donald Trump’s first week in office was widely celebrated in the crypto space. It eliminated any uncertainty surrounding whether Trump would deliver on his pro-crypto campaign promises.
  • MicroStrategy purchased another 10,107 BTC for $1.1B between January 21 and 26, bringing its holdings to 471,107 BTC. The company is expected to continue accumulating for the foreseeable future.
