Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced that Bitfinex transferred 7,000 BTC to Twenty One Capital's BTC address as part of its investment in Twenty One Capital.

Twenty One Capital (XXI) stands out as a new Bitcoin investment company founded in collaboration with giants such as Cantor Fitzgerald, SoftBank, Tether and Bitfinex. The company’s main strategy is to buy large amounts of Bitcoin and hold it for the long term.

Tether became the largest shareholder and de facto controlling shareholder of Twenty One Capital after its merger with SPAC firm Cantor Equity Partners (CEP). With this move, the company went public.

With approximately 42,000 BTC (approximately $3.56 billion) in assets at the time of its founding, Twenty One Capital ranked third in the world in terms of institutional Bitcoin reserves. Among the companies that made the first Bitcoin contributions are:

Tether: 18,713 BTC
Bitfinex: 7,000 BTC
SoftBank: ranks with 10,500 BTC.
The company's CEO was Jack Mallers, known as the founder of Strike.

With its new structure, Twenty One Capital may be looking to create another MicroStrategy impact in the corporate space.

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It was launched in 2009 as an open-source software project. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and central banks, Bitcoin operates without a central authority, using blockchain technology to record transactions transparently and securely.
How Does Bitcoin Work?
At its core, Bitcoin is powered by a blockchain — a public ledger containing all transaction data. Each transaction is verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in blocks. These blocks are linked (hence the term "blockchain") and secured using proof-of-work, a system that requires computational effort to prevent fraud and double spending.
Users store their bitcoins in digital wallets, which use private keys for secure access. Transactions are peer-to-peer, meaning users can send and receive bitcoin directly without intermediaries like banks.
Key Features of Bitcoin
Decentralization: No central bank or single administrator.
Limited Supply: Only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist, making it deflationary.
Transparency: Every transaction is visible on the public blockchain.
Security: Strong encryption makes it highly resistant to fraud.
Global Accessibility: Anyone with internet access can use Bitcoin.
Benefits of Bitcoin
Financial Freedom: Users control their money without restrictions from governments or banks.
Low Transaction Fees: Especially for cross-border payments.
Hedge Against Inflation: Some view Bitcoin as “digital gold” due to its limited supply.
Innovation: Bitcoin paved the way for other cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications.
Risks and Challenges
Volatility: Bitcoin prices can fluctuate wildly, making it risky as an investment.
Regulatory Uncertainty: Governments around the world have differing views on legality and regulation.
Security Concerns: Although the blockchain is secure, wallet hacks and scams are common.
Scalability: The Bitcoin network can be slow and expensive to use during high traffic.
Bitcoin in the Real World
Today, Bitcoin is accepted by some merchants for goods and services, and it's a growing part of the financial ecosystem. Major companies like Tesla and PayPal have shown interest or integrated Bitcoin services. It's also popular among investors and seen by some as a store of value, especially in countries facing currency instability.
The Future of Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s future remains uncertain but full of potential. Key questions include:
Will governments embrace or restrict it?
Can Bitcoin scale to handle global demand?
Will it become a mainstream currency or remain a niche digital asset?
What’s clear is that Bitcoin has already made a lasting impact, sparking a wave of innovation in finance and technology.

Bitcoin Set for a Surge? Trump's Criticism of Interest Rates Hints at Major Shift
Bitcoin analysts are abuzz as President-elect Donald Trump voiced strong disapproval of the Federal Reserve’s current stance, labeling interest rates as “far too high” despite ongoing inflation concerns. Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump remarked, “We are taking over a challenging situation from the previous administration,” while accusing officials of seemingly trying to complicate matters for his incoming team.
These pointed comments, delivered just under two weeks before his inauguration, have fueled expectations of a potential pivot in U.S. monetary policy and sparked speculation about a potential boost for Bitcoin and other risk assets in the year ahead.
A Flashback to 2017: Weaker Dollar, Stronger Bitcoin?
Despite the changes in the economic and geopolitical landscape since Trump's initial term, some observers draw parallels to his rhetoric from 2017. At that time, Trump criticized the strength of the U.S. dollar, which he believed was detrimental to American competitiveness. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) peaked near 104 in early January 2017, followed by a downward trend that saw it dip to around 98 by early 2018.
This significant drop in the dollar coincided with a broader risk-on sentiment, driving rallies in both equity markets and the cryptocurrency space. Julien Bittel, Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor (GMI), highlighted this comparison on social media.
“The last time Trump mentioned something being ‘too high,’ it was the dollar in January 2017, just before his inauguration,” Bittel noted. He recalled Trump’s statement: “Our companies can't compete now because our currency is too strong. And it's hurting us.”
Trump's recent comments about the dollar’s strength being a “tremendous burden on U.S. businesses” suggest he remains acutely aware of the impacts of a strong dollar, similar to how high interest rates can affect exports, corporate earnings, and economic growth.
Potential Implications for Bitcoin and Crypto Markets
Bittel concluded that the last significant decline in the dollar set the stage for one of the most critical macroeconomic moves in recent years, spurring a surge in risk assets. “Could history repeat itself? We might see something similar unfold,” he speculated.
DXY Patterns: 2017 vs. Today
Bittel isn’t the only expert eyeing a potential peak in the DXY, reminiscent of its 2017 trajectory. Steve Donzé, Deputy CIO for Multi Asset at Pictet Asset Management Japan, shared a chart illustrating similar patterns in recent DXY movements compared to early 2017, suggesting a possible impending decline.
Financial analyst Silver Surfer (@SilverSurfer_23) also noted an intriguing timing parallel, highlighting that the DXY peaked on January 3, 2017—18 days before Trump's inauguration. In contrast, it appears to have peaked on January 2, 2025—19 days before his upcoming inauguration. He described this as “remarkable history repeating,” suggesting a correlation between the DXY’s behavior before both inaugurations.
Such observations are fueling predictions that another dollar downturn could create favorable conditions for risk assets. If the dollar indeed begins a new downtrend similar to 2017–2018, Bitcoin could benefit from increased liquidity and speculative interest.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $94,950.

With only $BTC 21 million Bitcoin available for over 8 billion people, scarcity is the ultimate game changer.
