Saylor Is TRAPPED Under The STRC Yield - Another BIG Bitcoin Sale | The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast
The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian SpinShow Notes
77 Bitcoin kidnappings logged in France since January — and Canada isn't immune. A Toronto CEO was ransomed for $1M. Saylor sells $216M in Bitcoin. Carney admits climate defeat. CUSMA gets rejected. This week on the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirms 77 kidnappings and extortions targeting Bitcoin holders since January 2026 — already past all of 2025. Ledger co-founder David Balland had a finger severed by his kidnappers. Then it hits home: Toronto's WonderFi CEO was forced into a car during rush hour for a $1 million ransom, and a B.C. family was held hostage overnight. Joey and Len break down why being loud about your Bitcoin stack is now a physical security problem — and what actually protects you. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The global Bitcoin kidnapping wave - France's 77 cases and the Canadian parallel nobody's talking about- Strategy (MicroStrategy) sells $216M in Bitcoin - is Saylor's playbook cracking, or is this just treasury management?- K Wave Media's 10,000 BTC dream collapses to zero - the corporate Bitcoin treasury reckoning is here- Mark Carney concedes emissions targets will not be met, pivots to a new energy plan and a west coast pipeline- CUSMA joint review: the U.S. declines to renew, and what it means for Canadian trade- Toronto's FIFA World Cup bill: FIFA cashes out, taxpayers cover $380 million for six games- An Ontario judge exposes CBSA's 577,739-case deportation backlog through one repeat LCBO thief- Plus: a Brampton Ponzi scheme, Montreal's rental relief, BTCPay's new tap-to-pay terminal, Wasabi Wallet's mandatory upgrade, and a clipboard-hijacking cautionary tale Bitcoin doesn't create the incentive to overpromise and quietly walk it back - governments and corporate copycats do that fine on their own. Self-custody still means being your own bank. Just don't be a loud one about it.

MSCI adopted its non-operating company rule on October 15, and the companion spreadsheet of potentially impacted securities lists Strategy with a potential action of "Deleted" — roughly $40.3B of the $44.4B of float-adjusted market cap on that entire list. The affected names publish November 11 and the change takes effect at the close on November 30, leaving 19 days between the list and any forced selling. MSTR dropped 9.56% in a single session after the decision. Tonight, Joey and Len walk through the 4-of-5 ratio test, whether Strategy actually trips it, and what index removal does and does not do to the Bitcoin sitting behind the stock. MSCI's announcement names no company, and Strategy says MSCI-linked funds hold only 3.1% of its basic shares.

Ledger has confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in an affected device sold through CryptoBilis, a reseller listed by Ledger. How can a hardware wallet pass a Genuine Check while a physical implant spies on its setup? Tonight, Joey and Len examine the reported supply-chain attack, the limits of device verification, and what this does to trust in self-custody. Loss totals remain third-party estimates; the confirmed implant does not establish that every Ledger device is compromised.
