🧵 Legal thread of the week: The Mined in America Act explained! 👇 1/7 💥 Two Republican senators just introduced a bill that could permanently reshape #Bitcoin mining in the United States and lock the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into federal law. Here are the exact facts, the legal mechanics, and what it means for every Bitcoin holder. 👇 2/7 👀 Context first. In March 2026, President Trump signed an executive order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. It uses Bitcoin already held by the Treasury, mostly from criminal and civil forfeitures, and treats it as a national store of value, like Fort Knox. 👇 3/7 🏛️ On March 30, 2026, Senators Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana introduced the Mined in America Act. The goal is simple and direct: bring critical digital infrastructure back to the United States and expand Bitcoin mining’s role in the American economy. 👇 4/7 ⚠️ The Department of Commerce must create a voluntary “Mined in America” certification program for both #mining facilities and mining pools. Facilities that choose to certify must begin phasing out mining equipment manufactured by companies tied to foreign adversaries. 👇 5/7 ✅ The bill integrates certified mining projects into federal energy programs to support the transition. It also directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to help American companies develop secure, energy-efficient mining equipment. 👇 6/7 🧠 The second core provision codifies the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve directly into law. It establishes the reserve inside the Department of the Treasury as a statutory program. Any future president could cancel to permanent federal law that requires congressional action to change. 👇 7/7 ⁉️ Why this matters legally and strategically. It reduces national-security risk in the Bitcoin supply chain, strengthens domestic manufacturing, and gives the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve long-term stability. 👇 🏛️ In today’s world, knowing #Bitcoin law isn’t optional, it’s essential for staying free and safe. 📨 Subscribe to my weekly newsletter and get the sharpest breakdowns delivered straight to you:

🧵 Legal thread of the week: The Brutal Ledger Kidnapping – Final Suspect Arrested 👇 1/ 💥 In January 2025, armed criminals broke into the home of David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, one of the world’s biggest #Bitcoin hardware wallet companies, and kidnapped him and his wife. They wanted €10 million in Bitcoin. They tortured him. They cut off one of his fingers. His wife was locked in a car trunk. This wasn’t a random crime. It was a targeted “wrench attack” on a high-profile Bitcoiner. And now, 14 months later, the last fugitive is behind bars. 👇 2/ 👀 Here’s the timeline, step by step: January 21, 2025, Attack in central #France (Cher region). The gang storms the house, abducts both Balland and his wife, and demands €10 million in Bitcoin within hours. They hold them for roughly 24 hours. Police locate the car, rescue the wife from the trunk, and free Balland. Ten suspects (nine men, one woman, ages 20-40) are arrested on the spot, charged with gang #kidnapping, torture, and armed extortion. 👇 3/ ⚠️ One member of the crew got away. He fled France immediately after the raid and spent over a year on the run in Spain, hopping between short-term rentals in Andalusia to stay invisible. French authorities knew exactly who he was, part of a sophisticated network reportedly operating out of Morocco, but couldn’t touch him until he crossed borders. 👇 4/ 🇪🇸 Fast forward to March 20, 2026. Spanish Civil Guard launches a major operation in Benalmádena (near Málaga). They deploy a large tactical team because the suspect was considered extremely dangerous and linked to a wider criminal organization. He is arrested without incident. French authorities now confirm: every single member of the kidnapping crew has been identified and taken into custody. 👇 5/ 🇪🇺 The suspect is already facing a European Arrest Warrant. Spain will extradite him to France, where he will stand trial alongside the other ten. The case is closed, but the message it sends is wide open. 👇 6/ 💡 Why this matters to every #Bitcoiner: Physical attacks on crypto holders hit record levels last year, over 70 documented “wrench attacks” worldwide. France has seen a clear spike, including a failed home invasion attempt on Binance France’s CEO. Criminals no longer just hack. They come to your door when they know (or suspect) you hold Bitcoin. 👇 7/ 👀 Concrete takeaways: 👉 Your Ledger (or any hardware wallet) protects your keys. It does NOT protect your family. 👉 Opsec is now physical: stop signaling wealth, vary routines, never discuss holdings publicly. 👉 Self-custody is still king, but real sovereignty now includes locks, alarms, privacy habits, and never becoming the obvious target. 👉 The final suspect is caught. The warning is louder than ever. Stay safe out there. 🏛️ In today’s world, knowing Bitcoin law isn’t optional, it’s essential for staying free and safe. 📨 Subscribe to my weekly newsletter and get the sharpest breakdowns delivered straight to you:
