Happy Monday!

Anthony Scaramucci highlighted a statement from billionaire hedge fund manager Philippe Laffont about how Bitcoin has become central to investment portfolios, stating that “Laffont is latest in long line of world’s best fund managers to understand Bitcoin is the greatest macro investment of a generation” — what’s driving the buzz?.

Trump Media and Technology Group’s Bitcoin investment plan received approval from the U.S. SEC, enabling the company to access about $2.3 billion in capital — check out all the details here.

Plus, for the last decade, three “Power Patterns” have delivered winning trades during the summer, and we’re hosting an event where 30-year veteran trader Tom Gentile will show you LIVE how to position yourself for potential gains.

TOP STORY

SkyBridge Capital Founder and CEO Anthony Scaramucci expressed agreement with
billionaire hedge fund manager Philippe Laffont‘s views that Bitcoin has become pivotal to investment portfolios. Bitcoin accounts for only around $2 trillion out of the world’s $500 trillion net worth, said Laffont. If one assumes Bitcoin will grow, then it “has to become more central to a portfolio,” CNBC quoted him as saying.

At the same time, Laffont advised investors to approach Bitcoin with “basic investing principles” and not let it dominate their portfolio.

Scaramucci’s views on Bitcoin are that it is a form of hard currency, or cash, around which markets will mature, which aligns with Laffont’s thoughts. He does not plan to sell it anytime soon.
