Hey all,

I’m Rizzo, the Bitcoin Historian. For more than a decade I’ve been documenting Bitcoin’s evolution — the people, ideas, companies, and moments that shaped it.

I spend every day tracking what’s shaping Bitcoin.

This newsletter connects the dots. Each edition highlights the stories, signals, and historical context you need to understand what’s happening in Bitcoin right now. And where it may be headed next.

The Bitcoin House Is Real: Meet the Brothers Building Homes That Mine BTC and Heat Themselves

Twin brothers Daniel and Eric Tadros have turned one of Bitcoin's oldest forum fantasies into an actual real estate project. Backed by a $1 million loan from Tim Draper, the Montreal-based duo has built three homes in Quebec that use the heat generated by Bitcoin miners as a primary energy source — routed through floors, pools, saunas, clothes dryers, fireplaces, and more across nine distinct applications.

The Bitcoin House looks like an ordinary home by design, but it is fully equipped with mining infrastructure built into dedicated mechanical rooms with industrial ventilation and noise-reduced fan systems.

Watch to hear Daniel walk Rizzo through the engineering tradeoffs (heat management in summer, internet redundancy in winter at -30°F), and the economics of providing machines with each home.

$7 TRILLION FIDELITY IS TELLING INVESTMENT ADVISORS TO GET OFF ZERO

Read the Hard News. Share the Hype.

Fidelity doesn't mince words in its latest March report: holding zero Bitcoin is "no longer prudent." That's not a crypto-native newsletter talking — that's one of the world's largest privately owned asset managers.

The report evaluates the opportunity cost of a zero allocation, arguing Bitcoin has crossed every threshold skeptics demanded — ETF approval, corporate adoption, sovereign-level interest — and that the excuses for investors have run out.

Its recommendation: a 1–3% allocation as a starting point. That number sounds small, but coming from Fidelity, it's a green light to an entire class of advisors and institutions who've been waiting for cover. The Bitcoiners were right. Now Fidelity is saying it.

NEW SENATE BILL AIMS TO REVIVE THE US STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE

Read the Hard News. Share the Hype.

Senators Cassidy and Lummis have introduced legislation to expand American Bitcoin mining capacity and tie it directly to Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, framing domestic hash rate as a matter of energy security and financial sovereignty.

The mechanics matter: the bill would use tax treatment and energy incentives to onshore mining operations at scale, with the explicit goal of making the United States a dominant force in global hash rate. This bill also moves the SBR conversation from finance into geopolitics.

How exactly? We’ll come back to this news later in our latest livestream.

A quick word from our sponsor Trezor. I've been in the room for most every major moment in Bitcoin history. The lesson I keep seeing repeated: self-custody isn't optional, it's survival.

Trezor makes it simple, secure, and Bitcoin-only. If you haven't moved your Bitcoin off an exchange yet, this is your reminder. bit.ly/rizzo-trezor

Dennis Porter and Satoshi Action Fund didn't walk into Washington cold. They spent four years in the states — passing thirteen pieces of Bitcoin legislation across a dozen jurisdictions, killing hostile provisions, building relationships with lawmakers.

The Mined in America Act is their federal debut, but Porter made clear it won't be the last. The bill's most underreported provision is also its most consequential: for the first time ever, there's a pathway for the U.S. government to accumulate more Bitcoin without spending a single dollar of taxpayer money.

On our livestream, Dennis gets into what it will actually take to get a Democratic senator to co-sign the bill, where the strategic reserve goes from here, and what it means for US mining firms who now have a new pathway to federal funding.

The global race among corporations inspired by Michael Saylor is getting interesting, and no one is covering it better than Bitcoin Treasuries.

The past week alone: a Texas-based EV firm raised $1.3 billion specifically to buy Bitcoin, Jack Mallers' Twenty One Capital cementing its position as the second-largest public Bitcoin holder on the planet, and two separate companies — one Korean, one Thai — each gave us exclusive interviews announcing plans to accumulate 10,000 BTC.

Every one of these stories broke first on BitcoinTreasuries.net, the only destination built from the ground up to track exactly how fast corporate and institutional Bitcoin accumulation is moving.
