BREAKING: US Housing System Makes Historic Shift—Bitcoin Now Official Reserve Asset
The unthinkable just happened—Wall Street's brick-and-mortar crown jewel is going crypto.
Mortgages Meet Satoshis
The Federal Housing Finance Agency quietly dropped a bombshell this morning: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will now hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset alongside Treasury bonds. No warning, no pilot program—just a 9am press release that sent BTC soaring 12% in 90 minutes.
Why This Stings Traditional Finance
Goldman Sachs analysts are reportedly scrambling to update models that assumed real estate would be the last inflation hedge to fall. Jokes write themselves—the same institutions that mocked 'magic internet money' now face a 28% premium to buy BTC for their own reserves (take that, Jamie Dimon).
The New Collateral Calculus
Word is Treasury officials demanded at least 60% of reserves stay in USD...for now. But with mortgage-backed securities yielding negative real returns since 2022, even pension funds are whispering about 'diversification opportunities.'
One thing's certain—when the housing market starts HODLing, your boomer uncle's 'volatile crypto' arguments just got wrecked harder than 2008 MBS derivatives.
