In this Swan Signal Live episode, the crew reflected on 2024 and took some shots at predicting 2025. They broke down Bitcoin's killer performance - up 121% in 2024, crushing most other assets. The guys dug into a photo of Eric Trump with Michael Saylor at Mar-a-Lago, suggesting the Trump family is seriously warming up to Bitcoin. They debated odds of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under a potential Trump administration, throwing out 40-80% probability estimates. The crew's 2025 price predictions were spicy - most seeing $200-250k as likely, with a 10% shot at $1M if certain dominoes fall. They riffed on Bitcoin's evolution from hardcore believers to mainstream adoption, comparing it to how the printing press went mainstream historically. The show wrapped noting Bitcoin's sweet 16 and teasing Swan's upcoming Bitcoin rewards credit card dropping in Q2 2025.

In this episode, the Swan team dives into the week’s tumultuous markets, triggered by escalating tariff tensions between the US and China. With sweeping tariff announcements initially roiling equities, a sudden pivot by the administration briefly stabilized stock prices—yet concerns remain about stress in market “plumbing,” particularly negative swap spreads and rising bond yields. The discussion highlights how quickly financial conditions can shift, forcing the Federal Reserve’s hand toward potential liquidity measures or yield curve control.

On the Bitcoin front, the hosts note that BTC’s performance has diverged notably from equities and other risk assets, signaling that institutional involvement—and global macro uncertainty—may be ushering in a new era for Bitcoin. They also explore rumors of Russia and China conducting energy trades in BTC, plus the potential of a US “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” as nation-states weigh the benefits of a neutral reserve asset.
