Bitcoin Manifesto 2026: Exploring the Institutional Supercycle

Intro: The Era of Sovereign Assets As we kick off 2026, Bitcoin has upgraded from being just a speculative "risk-on" asset to becoming the go-to Sovereign Reserve Asset in the digital realm.

This manifesto dives into the macroeconomic trends and geopolitical changes that are turning Bitcoin into the dominant force in finance for 2026.
