—------------------------

This week in Bitcoin: hardware wallet vulnerabilities hit BitBox and BitKey, while Trezor customers' data is leaked - raising serious questions about hardware security and self-custody. Exchanges suffer data breaches and show they are willing to hand over your personal data to authorities without hesitation. The French Tax Authority once again proves that third parties cannot be trusted with your financial data.

Michael Saylor responds to an MSTR stockholder about dilution concerns, a reminder that corporate Bitcoin exposure is not the same as owning Bitcoin. And finally, we discuss why Bitcoin's price suddenly jumped more than 10% this week. From wallet security to exchange risks to economic policy, the lesson is the same: self-custody is the only path.
