Bitcoin Breaks the Banks: U.S. Custodians & Hedge Funds Surrender

The war on Bitcoin is over—and Bitcoin won.

On September 3rd, 2025, U.S. Bank, one of America’s largest custodians, relaunched and expanded its Bitcoin custody services. Just days later, filings revealed that hedge fund giants like Millennium Management and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors are making Bitcoin ETFs their top portfolio positions.

What once was dismissed as criminal, fringe, or anarchist is now becoming the foundation of a new financial era. Custodian banks are building vaults. Hedge funds are placing billion-dollar bets. The Sovereign Stack is shifting.

We explore the implications across the Value, Governance, and Application layers—and what this capitulation means for freedom.
