For years, Bitcoiners pushed exchanges to adopt Lightning. And guess what? It worked. Public Lightning volume is up 266% in about a year. A few interesting insights from our new @River report:

Business owners are investing 22% of their profits into bitcoin. Our new report shows how in 2025, businesses are adopting bitcoin faster than ever. Link below in the 🧵

~1.3 million bitcoin ($150 billion) are held by businesses. Companies are starting to catch on after 16 years of front-running by individuals.

Bitcoin is like a small snowball rolling down a $138 trillion hill.

What really happened that day.

The people had 15 years to front-run Wall Street on Bitcoin. Now big business is starting to catch on, but they'll have to pay up to get their share.

People keep asking me: why don’t you take @River public and run a leveraged Bitcoin equity playbook? Doing so would be counter to our mission of building the world’s most trusted financial institution. It is not in the interest of River clients for us to go public and distract

Somewhere out there, legends are smiling at Bitcoin's continued success. A free market of money. A peaceful revolution. A sly roundabout way of using technology and cryptography against government overreach. Let's keep running Bitcoin.

The world is beginning to wake up to this simple truth: Bitcoin, not crypto.

The Bitcoin exchange River sent their customers billions of dollars…Zimbabwean hyperinflated dollars

Bitcoin Twitter, which dumps every dollar they can to immediately buy bitcoin regardless of price, cannot comprehend how much cash is actually held at exchanges. And how much the exchanges are pocketing as a result. Giving the interest to clients is the right thing to do.

Bitcoiners spent a decade thinking that scalability is Bitcoin’s biggest challenge. But we were wrong. If Bitcoin’s on-chain throughput 100x’d today, it wouldn’t even double adoption. Bitcoin’s biggest challenge to be more widely adopted is its public image. Mainstream media

This happens to almost every Bitcoiner, and it's often a result of how they approach people about the topic.

46% of adult Americans don't read books. Giving your friend a Bitcoin book might not work, but what about something short and sweet? That's why we created Bitcoin in 21 minutes 👇

Buying bitcoin isn’t crazy. Not buying bitcoin when you know they’re about to print another $2.4T is crazy.

Some people say sats are to bitcoin like cents are to a dollar. I think this is a bad comparison because nobody buys things in cents, while almost everything you buy with bitcoin is in sats. Turning sats into the standard eliminates the name recognition bitcoin has.

2-3% inflation per year sounds harmless... until you zoom out. Every line on this chart is a reason Bitcoin exists.

The United States is the global Bitcoin superpower. Our new report breaks down how this advantage can fuel the next era of American prosperity.

Many of you are skeptical of our finding, released this morning that 4 in 5 Americans would convert some US gold reserves into bitcoin. "Yeah right! You must have done your survey at a bitcoin conference!" We were also surprised too. But the results are the results. The
