Bitcoin Treasuries Surge to Record Highs as Vitalik Buterin Sounds Alarm on Digital ID Risks
Corporate Bitcoin holdings hit all-time highs while Ethereum's founder warns of dystopian overreach in digital identity systems. The crypto world's split personality—libertarian store of value vs. governance-obsessed tech utopia—just got starker.
Who's buying? Public companies now hold over 1.5% of all Bitcoin, with MicroStrategy leading the pack. Meanwhile, Buterin cautions that poorly designed digital IDs could create 'a database of oppression'—ironic coming from the man whose blockchain birthed Worldcoin's eyeball-scanning orbs.
Wall Street analysts nod approvingly at the treasury moves while quietly shorting the stocks of companies making them. Some things never change.
