Trump allies weaponize Bitcoin to purge globalist choke points

Saturday, June 13, 2026 · from 2 podcasts
  • Legislation mandates a 20-year U.S. Bitcoin reserve, turning the asset into permanent state collateral.
  • The real aim is using financial warfare to dismantle European control of global oil and credit flows.
  • Michael Saylor’s first Bitcoin sale in years signals a strategic pivot from 'never sell' to institutional integration.

The American Reserve Modernization Act proposes to turn Bitcoin into a strategic non-expendable asset for the United States, placing it under a 20-year lock with quarterly cryptographic proof of reserves. David Bennett, host of Bitcoin And, details that the bill explicitly forbids funding purchases with new debt or taxes, forcing the Treasury to acquire Bitcoin by converting other assets. It’s a move to embed the asset into the federal architecture with unprecedented accountability.

But the bill’s true purpose is part of a larger geostrategic rewrite. According to analyst Tom Luongo on BTC Sessions, the goal is to back the dollar with hard collateral like Bitcoin and gold, while using the currency itself as a weapon. This ends the era of unbacked credit managed by European banking hubs, shifting control to the U.S. The plan involves purging what co-host Nolan Bauerle calls the "financial deep state" to reclaim dominance over the global dollar supply.

"The tension in Iran is about rewiring global trade away from geographic choke points like the Straits of Hormuz."

- Tom Luongo, BTC Sessions

This financial warfare aims to render adversaries' geographic advantages obsolete. Luongo claims the strategy is to move oil flows to safer pipelines and shift high-tech manufacturing from Taiwan to Arizona, making the U.S. economy immune to foreign blockades. Simultaneously, Bauerle argues Trump has secured total control over the Republican party, enabling him to weaponize the Treasury against specific offshore interests, starting with networks tied to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The shift mirrors a pivot in corporate Bitcoin strategy. As reported on Bitcoin And, MicroStrategy recently sold 32 Bitcoin to fund dividends - its first sale since 2022. David Bennett argues this dents the corporate 'diamond hands' narrative, marking a move by advocate Michael Saylor toward embedding Bitcoin as sacred collateral within legacy credit markets and corporate treasuries, rather than holding it purely as a volatile sovereign asset.

"Bitcoin isn't replacing the dollar yet. Instead, it provides the structural integrity the dollar currently lacks."

- Tom Luongo, BTC Sessions

The legislative lockup and the geostrategic pivot are two sides of the same coin: an attempt to formalize Bitcoin’s role as the bedrock of a new U.S.-centric monetary order, while systematically dismantling the old globalist financial networks that once controlled it.

Trump Weaponizing Bitcoin & Dollar to Crush European Globalists | Luongo & BauerleJun 9

  • Tom Luongo argues the Iran conflict is about rewiring global trade away from geographic choke points like the Straits of Hormuz. He claims the goal is to render the British strategy of controlling oil flows obsolete.
  • Nolan Bauerle asserts the MAGA civil war narrative is fake and that Trump has already won that internal conflict. He says the real civil war is now within the Democratic Party.
  • Bauerle cites the 2020 election as a moment Bitcoiners understood 'don't trust, verify' because the election was unauditable. He says this worldview caused a decisive shift of Bitcoiners toward Trump.
  • Luongo claims the 2008 financial crisis was a coup to install Obama, seize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and give City of London control over both ends of the US yield curve.
  • Bauerle suggests Trump's appointment of Bill Pate as acting ODNI signals an intelligence service revolt. He notes Pate is a forensic accountant and Bitcoin proponent, hinting at a focus on uncovering financial corruption.
  • Luongo frames the current conflict as World War III, which is primarily economic and psychological. He says the goal is to dismantle globalist choke points and establish an America-Russia-China geostrategic reality.
  • Bauerle interprets Trump's planned September convention as a delegate-focused event signaling a significant political move, contrasting it with a typical rally.

  • Luongo contends Bitcoin's role will shift from a libertarian ideal to a collateral asset within a new dollar-dominant framework. He sees Bitcoin and gold serving as collateral while the dollar becomes consumption-focused political money.
  • Bauerle describes a bimetal future where Bitcoin is for savings and the dollar is for consumption. He argues Bitcoin must infect Wall Street and the energy industry to win, not through mass pleb adoption.
  • Luongo predicts a new Federal Reserve design with fewer regional banks, acting purely as a monetary clearinghouse. He foresees domestic stablecoins funding production while offshore dollar rates remain higher.
  • Bauerle argues privacy in money will follow a change in the monetary system, not precede it. He says the polarity of surveillance will flip, with governments losing privacy while individuals eventually regain it.

Macro (1)

  • Luongo warns of a looming dollar liquidity crisis, noting a Memorial Day spike in dollar demand that collapsed the FX market. He points to a kink in the two-year Treasury yield as evidence.
