A strong wave of businesses worldwide is actively buying and accumulating Bitcoin ($BTC ), indicating the growing acceptance of this asset as a treasury strategy.

Pioneering from countries

Netherlands: Amdax has launched the AMBTS fund with an ambitious long-term goal of accumulating 1% of the total Bitcoin supply, equivalent to 210,000 BTC. This is the first public Bitcoin treasury in the Netherlands.

"Unacceptable." This is how the French National Assembly classified an amendment proposing to study Bitcoin mining as a strategic tool for the country's energy infrastructure. The proposal, presented as an addition to an energy bill, requested only a technical report: no subsidies, financing, or immediate implementation — just a study on how mining could absorb electrical surpluses, stabilize the grid, and complement the French nuclear system. However, even before it could be debated, the amendment was rejected for not fitting within the current legislative scope, according to Article 98 of the Internal Rules — a 'cavalier législatif', in local legal terms. In other words: the proposal was blocked not for its content, but for being in the 'wrong place'. The decision exposes how the political system still struggles to keep pace with the speed of technological innovation, especially when it comes to topics like crypto-assets and energy. Even though it is an idea aligned with energy efficiency, Bitcoin mining continues to be viewed with skepticism in France, often depicted as an environmental villain — and not as a solution. While countries like El Salvador, Bhutan, and Russia integrate mining into their energy policies, France chooses to keep its distance, perhaps out of caution, perhaps out of ignorance. And this matters: because although this rejection was merely procedural, it shows how far governments still are from understanding the potential role of mining as an economic and energy tool. The technology is already used in other countries as a load regulator and collector of surplus energy — fast, scalable, and monetizable. With an electricity matrix heavily based on nuclear energy and frequent production surpluses, France could explore this alternative. But the window for discussion has been closed — for now. The proposal may return as part of another project or as an independent initiative, depending on political will and public interest. In the meantime, the world continues to experiment. From Kazakhstan to the USA, mining is being tested as a national energy strategy, and the results of these tests will certainly influence future positions of France. For the crypto industry, the message is clear: even the most reasonable proposals can fail without the right context — but the opportunity persists. Bitcoin mining is not going away. And the sooner governments open up to understanding it as part of the global energy puzzle, the better prepared they will be for what lies ahead.

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing significant advancements, not only affirming its position as an investment asset but also showcasing superior practical application potential. Recent developments in France and the acceptance of Bitcoin by the fast-food chain Steak 'n Shake are clear evidence of a bright future where cryptocurrency is not just financial technology but also a solution to real-life problems.

The French National Assembly (Assemblée nationale) has just passed a controversial tax bill aimed at replacing the previous Real Estate Wealth Tax (IFI) with a new tax called 'Tax on Non-Productive Assets'. This bill, proposed by lawmakers Jean Paul Mattei and Philippe Brun, passed the vote in the National Assembly with a close margin of 163 votes in favor and 150 against.

Tech reports reveal that Naval Group, a major French defense contractor specializing in submarines and warships, has allegedly suffered a massive cyberattack, with hackers claiming to have stolen up to 1TB of classified data.

🧩 Leaked files reportedly include:
Source code for Combat Management Systems (CMS) used in submarines.
Technical documents and blueprints.
Internal development tools and simulators.

💬 Naval Group denied any direct breach of its internal systems but confirmed that an investigation is underway in coordination with French authorities. The company called it a “reputation attack.”

📅 The hackers issued a 72-hour ultimatum, threatening to release more files unless demands are met — pointing to a likely case of financial extortion.

🇫🇷 Naval Group is partially state-owned and plays a crucial role in supplying France’s navy and allied forces.

⚠️ This incident raises serious concerns about military cybersecurity and national defense data protection in Europe.
