You're not going to believe this.
70 publicly traded companies are now hoarding Bitcoin.
That's up 142% since 2023.
MicroStrategy holds $28 billion worth.
KULR Technology just grabbed $21 million.
Genius Group scooped up $35 million.
And when I first heard about what these corporations are really doing with
Bitcoin, my jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
Because until very recently only the greediest Wall Street fat cats knew
about the new accounting rules that make this possible.
Bitcoin ETFs just sucked in $36 billion with BlackRock leading the charge.
This isn't some retail FOMO anymore.
This is cold, calculated institutional money following a blueprint.
What's cool is you can get in on the same action with just a few simple
clicks.
(and as little as $50 bucks)
It's one of the slickest things I've seen in awhile.
Curious to see how?

Ed Sheeran Says Dropping Macklemore Wasn't His Decision. Then Four Supporting
Acts Quit the Tour.
Macklemore was removed from the remaining U.S. dates after stadium operators
objected to his pro-Palestinian remarks. Sheeran says the promoter made the
call. The dispute then widened as four other performers withdrew.
LOOP TOUR / STATUS UPDATE
OUT MACKLEMORE 4 SUPPORT ACTS EXIT LIVE TOUR CONTINUES
A disagreement over political speech on Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour has expanded
into a wider dispute involving an artist, the tour promoter, stadium operators
and several supporting performers.
Macklemore had been opening for Sheeran when he used his September 4
performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to speak about Palestinians in
Gaza and the West Bank and told the crowd, “Free Palestine.”
THE TRIGGER POLITICAL SPEECH MOVED FROM THE STAGE INTO THE TOUR'S BUSINESS
STRUCTURE. Subsequent stadium operators objected to Macklemore remaining on
the lineup. Messina Touring Group said venue owners informed the promoter that
concerts could not proceed with him as a support act.
► HOW THE DECISION MOVED
01 METLIFE
SPEECH → 02 VENUE
OBJECTIONS → 03 PROMOTER
REMOVES → 04 ARTISTS
EXIT
Macklemore announced Monday that he had been removed from the remaining U.S.
dates. He said he and Sheeran had held several difficult conversations and
described the two artists as having reached a fundamental disagreement over how
publicly to address the conflict.
WHO ACTUALLY MADE THE CALL? SHEERAN: “IT WAS NOT MINE.” Sheeran said
Macklemore's contract was with the promoter and that removing him from the tour
was Messina Touring Group's decision after pressure from venues.
ARTIST ED
SHEERAN CONTRACT TOUR
PROMOTER ACCESS STADIUM
OPERATORS
That distinction changes the story. Sheeran was the tour's headline artist
and was involved in conversations about the controversy, but both his statement
and the promoter's account place the formal removal decision with the promoter
after venues objected.
► GILLETTE STADIUM
ROBERT KRAFT / VENUE DECISION GILLETTE STADIUM SAID MACKLEMORE WOULD NOT
PERFORM THERE. Kraft said the stadium's decision was based on Macklemore's
recent performance material and what Kraft described as a broader history of
antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.
Macklemore rejects the characterization that his advocacy for Palestinians is
antisemitic and has argued that criticism of the Israeli government should be
distinguished from hostility toward Jewish people.
SHEERAN'S APPROACH Avoid political speeches
Keep concerts broadly inclusive
Address causes privately
Tried to mediate the dispute MACKLEMORE'S APPROACH Use the stage publicly
Advocate for Palestinians
Defend political expression
Continue speaking after removal
Sheeran said he was appalled by suffering in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
but prefers not to turn his concerts into political platforms. He also said he
had spent the previous week speaking with the parties involved in an attempt to
find a resolution.
► THEN THE STORY EXPANDED
FOUR SUPPORTING ACTS WITHDRAW
AARON
ROWE BEOGA LUKAS
GRAHAM FINNEAS
Within hours of Sheeran's explanation, four performers connected to the tour
announced that they were withdrawing.
Aaron Rowe and Lukas Graham had been scheduled for remaining U.S.
appearances, Beoga had been performing with Sheeran during his shows, and
Finneas was scheduled to join the South American leg later in the year.
TOUR BUSINESS / CONTROL MAP THE HEADLINER IS ONLY ONE PART OF THE SYSTEM. A
stadium tour depends on artists, promoters, venue owners, contracts, security,
ticketing and local operations. A dispute with one part of that chain can
affect the entire schedule.
ARTIST PERFORMANCE ↔ PROMOTER CONTRACT ↔ VENUE ACCESS
The episode therefore involves more than a disagreement between two
musicians. It shows how control over a stadium tour is distributed among
several private parties — and how political speech can become a contractual and
operational issue once venues are unwilling to host a particular performer.
► ESTABLISHED / CONTESTED
ESTABLISHED Macklemore was removed
Venues objected
Promoter made the formal call
Four support acts withdrew CONTESTED Whether speech crossed a line
Whether response was justified
How much influence each party had
Where tour-content limits should sit
THE PRACTICAL READ The dispute began with two words onstage. It became a
venue decision, then a promoter decision, and finally a broader rupture across
the tour's supporting lineup.
03 CORE NOTES What the tour dispute actually established
01 Sheeran says Macklemore's removal was the promoter's decision after
multiple U.S. venues objected to keeping him on the lineup.
02 Robert Kraft confirmed that Gillette Stadium would not host Macklemore,
while Macklemore disputes the characterization of his pro-Palestinian advocacy
as antisemitic.
03 The fallout expanded after Aaron Rowe, Beoga, Lukas Graham and Finneas
announced that they were withdrawing from performances connected to Sheeran's
tour.
