Metaplanet CEO Reveals Core Logic of Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy, Which Remains Unchanged! Here are the Details

The CEO of Metaplanet, Simon Gerovich, clarifies that the core strategy behind Metaplanet's (formerly MicroStrategy's) sustained Bitcoin accumulation has remained fundamentally unchanged over the years. He notes that while market perception of the strategy has shifted dramatically—from an unconventional one-off move in August 2020, to a "visionary" bet during Bitcoin's price surge, and later to a perceived failed experiment during the market crash—the company's underlying approach has stayed consistent. Throughout all market fluctuations, the company continued its Bitcoin purchases uninterrupted. It now holds 843,775 BTC, valued at over $50 billion, making it the world's largest institutional Bitcoin holder. Gerovich's comments come as Metaplanet itself has been actively adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet, leading investors to view it as a Japanese company adopting a similar "strategy model."

Walsh Is Quietly Reshaping the Federal Reserve Through Five Working Groups

In an effort to subtly reshape the Federal Reserve, Chair Kevin Wash has established five "Chair's Advancement of Monetary Policy" working groups. These groups, led entirely by 15 external experts and supported by Fed staff, cover the entire monetary policy "operating system": data inputs, productivity/employment/inflation models, balance sheet tools, and external communications. The initiative centralizes agenda-setting, knowledge production, data access, and public narrative control under the Chair's office, while formal decision-making power remains with the FOMC and Board. Analysts note this mirrors tactics like China's use of central working groups—bypassing bureaucratic inertia, creating parallel reporting channels, and enabling rapid "top-level design" to reset policy agendas. This suggests Wash may hold off on major policy moves until the groups conclude their studies. Key future questions are whether these groups become permanent and if their conclusions effectively become pre-determined policy for the FOMC to ratify.

Waller: Inflation Cools in Recent Weeks, AI Reshapes Economy, Forward Guidance Loses Necessity

Warsh: Inflation Cools in Recent Weeks, AI Reshapes Economy, Forward Guidance Deemed Unnecessary Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Warsh, speaking at the ECB's annual forum in Sintra, stated that the Fed will no longer provide forward guidance on future interest rate paths. He emphasized that policy decisions will be based on the latest data and discussed at each meeting, rather than pre-committing to a direction. Warsh noted that U.S. inflation risks have eased over the past four weeks. He highlighted that AI is transforming the economy at an unprecedented pace, potentially expanding supply and productivity, which could allow for faster growth with lower inflation. However, he stressed it remains uncertain whether AI will ultimately be inflationary or disinflationary, and the Fed must assess its impact based on incoming data. Regarding monetary policy, Warsh reiterated the Fed's independence, stating decisions will not be influenced by external political pressure. He confirmed the intention to continue reducing the size of the Fed's balance sheet, though the process will take time. He also announced that member lists for five new internal working groups, established to review policy frameworks and communication, will be released soon.

Wall: Inflation Has Cooled in the Past Four Weeks, AI is Reshaping the Economy, Forward Guidance Loses Necessity

Summary: At the European Central Bank's forum in Sintra, Federal Reserve Chairman Christopher Waller stated the Fed will no longer provide forward guidance on future interest rate paths. Policy decisions will be made at each meeting based on the latest data. He noted that U.S. inflation risks have eased over the past four weeks. Waller discussed the significant impact of artificial intelligence on the economy, acknowledging its potential to boost productivity and supply but also its uncertain effects on employment and inflation—a determination he stressed must be data-driven. He reaffirmed the Fed's independence from political pressure and indicated a continued desire to reduce the size of the central bank's balance sheet, though this will be a gradual process. Waller also highlighted the formation of five internal working groups to review various aspects of Fed policy and communication.

Research Report Analysis: The Fed's New Chair's Debut – New Leader, But Same Script?

Report Analysis: Federal Reserve's New Chair Debut – A New Captain, But the Same Script? Morgan Stanley's chief global economist Seth B. Carpenter analyzes the first FOMC meeting under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh in a June 21 report. Warsh deliberately avoided providing forward guidance on interest rates, aligning with his philosophy. However, market expectations for a rate hike this year were reinforced. Key signals lie elsewhere: inflation may fall more than expected, and quantitative tightening (QT) could be more aggressive than anticipated. The FOMC's "dot plot" suggests only one rate hike in 2026. Carpenter argues that if inflation undershoots forecasts, the logic for even a single hike weakens, especially as projections indicate potential rate cuts in 2027. On QT, Warsh's stance is clear. Carpenter notes that measures like halving the Treasury's account balance could shrink the Fed's balance sheet by around $500 billion with minimal market impact. Combined with adjustments to reserve interest and liquidity rules, the ultimate QT scale may exceed expectations, though its market effect might be less disruptive unless the Fed actively sells Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). While Warsh initiated a review of the Fed's policy framework, the 2% inflation target remains intact for now. The report concludes that the market may be overestimating the significance of reduced forward guidance and the near-term rate hike risk, while potentially underestimating the scope and manageable nature of the coming balance sheet reduction. The key debates will hinge on upcoming core PCE data, the specifics of the QT path, and the framework review's findings.

Full Debut Q&A! Fed Chair Wash: Firmly Adhering to 2% Inflation Target, Establishing Five Special Task Forces, Personally Did Not Submit Dot Plot

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivered his first FOMC press conference, maintaining the federal funds rate at 3.5%-3.75% and emphasizing the Committee's unanimous and explicit commitment to achieving its 2% inflation target. Key announcements included significant changes to Fed communication and operations. The policy statement was significantly shortened and, notably, forward guidance was removed. Chair Warsh broke from precedent by declining to submit his own economic forecasts and "dot plot." He announced the immediate formation of five special working groups focusing on: Fed communication, the balance sheet, data sources, productivity and employment (including AI's impact), and the inflation framework. These groups, which will include external experts, are tasked with recommending improvements by year-end. One key group will review the Fed's $6.7 trillion balance sheet to assess the roles of interest rates versus balance sheet tools in monetary policy. Warsh characterized the current restrictive stance of policy as "uneven," noting its effect on housing but questioning its impact on financial markets where conditions appear less restrictive. He expressed a desire to move away from a "Fed-speak" driven market, arguing that markets should react to economic data rather than Fed commentary to provide better informational signals. On inflation, he stated there is no need to reconsider the 2% target until the Fed re-establishes its commitment and capability to achieve it. Economic projections (SEP) from other officials showed a split on the rate outlook for 2024, with half expecting at least one hike and half forecasting unchanged or lower rates. The median projection saw the federal funds rate at 3.8% by year-end 2024. Following the announcements, risk assets sold off sharply, Treasury yields rose, and the dollar strengthened.

Full First Q&A! Fed Chair Warsh: Sticks to 2% Inflation Target, Establishes Five Special Working Groups, Personally Did Not Submit Dot Plot

The Federal Reserve, under new Chair Kevin Warsh, held its first FOMC meeting, maintaining the federal funds rate target range at 3.5% to 3.75%. The central bank issued a significantly shortened policy statement, explicitly removing forward guidance. Chair Warsh delivered a strong, unified commitment to achieving the 2% inflation target, stating the FOMC has the "capability and the commitment" to restore price stability and sees no need to review the target itself at this time. Warsh announced the immediate formation of five special working groups to examine and propose improvements in key areas by year-end: Fed communication, the balance sheet (including a review of the $6.7 trillion portfolio and its role in policy), data sources and methodology, productivity and employment (including AI's impact), and the inflation framework. In a break from tradition, Chair Warsh did not submit his own economic projections or "dot plot." The submitted Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) showed a split among other officials: half anticipate at least one rate hike this year, while half expect rates to remain steady or fall. The median projection sees the federal funds rate at 3.8% by year-end 2026. Warsh characterized the current policy stance as "uneven," noting restrictive effects in sectors like housing but less so in financial markets. He emphasized a desire to move away from a market dynamic overly focused on Fed signaling, advocating for markets to react more to economic data. On AI, he called it potentially the most significant economic change in his adult life, driving clear demand but with uncertain timing and scale on the supply side, creating a "race" between the two.

Another Bitcoin Buy Ahead? Michael Saylor’s Latest Post Fuels Rumors

Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, moved 411 Bitcoin ($30M) to Coinbase Prime on May 29 and repurchased it the next day, a move seen as a tax-loss harvesting maneuver. This occurred as the firm paused its typical Bitcoin buying to retire $1.5 billion in convertible debt at a discount and raise capital via stock offerings. It then used the proceeds to acquire 24,869 Bitcoin (worth over $2 billion), bringing its total holdings to 843,738 BTC ($62.24B). On May 31, Saylor posted MicroStrategy's "Orange Dots" chart on X with the caption "Working Better," a signature signal historically preceding new Bitcoin purchase announcements. This fueled market speculation of an imminent acquisition, especially following weeks of activity involving debt restructuring, capital raising, and BTC transfers. The company describes using a flexible, multi-lever strategy to optimize its balance sheet and Bitcoin holdings.

The Richest Fed Chair in 112 Years Is Here: Kevin Warsh Is Rewriting the Rules

Kevin Warsh, with a personal fortune exceeding $130 million, became the 112nd and wealthiest Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve on May 22nd. A former Wall Street investment banker and key figure during the 2008 financial crisis, Warsh lacks a traditional academic background for a central banker but brings deep market experience. He proposes an unconventional policy approach of simultaneously reducing the Fed's balance sheet ("quantitative tightening") while cutting interest rates, arguing that a smaller balance sheet would allow for more effective rate policy. His ascent marks a potential regime change at the Fed. Warsh aims to reform the institution's decision-making processes, tighten communication discipline among officials, and reduce reliance on forward guidance like the "dot plot." This shift responds to the Fed's current dilemma: fiscal policy is expanding the government's balance sheet through deficits, while monetary policy's ability to shrink its own $6.7 trillion balance sheet is severely constrained, creating pressure on long-term interest rates. Analysts expect Warsh's tenure to sustain high volatility in the U.S. Treasury market due to persistent supply pressures. Furthermore, his leadership coincides with a gradual, structural erosion of dollar dominance, evidenced by its declining share in global reserves and cracks in the petrodollar system, with increased use of alternatives like the Chinese yuan in oil trade. For investors, this environment underscores the importance of portfolio diversification, including assets like gold and Chinese sovereign bonds, amid a fluctuating dollar credit anchor.

SpaceX Reveals $1.45B Bitcoin Stash In S-1 Filing, Surpassing Market Estimates

SpaceX's S-1 filing revealed it holds 18,712 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $1.45 billion as of March 31. This amount, more than double prior market estimates, places the company seventh among public companies by Bitcoin holdings and ahead of Tesla's stash. The coins were purchased at an average price of $35,320 each. As SpaceX prepares for a historic IPO aiming to raise around $75 billion, its stock will offer investors indirect exposure to one of the largest corporate Bitcoin positions. The disclosure indicates a deliberate, long-term crypto strategy that was largely hidden until the filing.
