LATEST: Saylor’s Strategy is currently sitting on about a $3.6 BILLION unrealized loss as Bitcoin drops below $71K. Their average buying price is around $76K.
LOOK: Stifel hints BITCOIN could drop as low as $38,000.
Stifel is an American financial services company, officially called Stifel Financial Corp. It provides a range of services including wealth management, investment banking, trading, and brokerage services.
Newly surfaced emails show Epstein was closely connected to Bitcoin funding channels, developers, and influential figures long before crypto went mainstream.
KEY HIGHLIGHS:
✅ MIT Funding: Epstein sent ~$850K to MIT (2002–2017). Some funds supported the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, which paid Bitcoin Core developers during a financial crunch.
✅ Developer Access: Epstein visited MIT at least nine times, met staff privately, and was internally referred to as “Voldemort.” Donations were underreported and approved discreetly by senior officials.
✅ Manhattan Meeting: Emails reveal a meeting at Epstein’s mansion with Brock Pierce (early Bitcoin investor, Tether co-founder) and Larry Summers, discussing Bitcoin’s potential years early.
✅ Steve Bannon Emails: In 2018, Epstein sought advice on crypto taxes, payments, and campaign finance loopholes. Bannon connected him with FEC and crypto experts.
✅ Early Crypto Research: Epstein was actively buying books on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and blockchain while rebuilding his network.
None of this proves Epstein controlled Bitcoin, but it shows he was far closer to its early ecosystem than the public ever knew.
