Senior Managing Editor of The Freeport Society
Hello, Fellow Navigator.
Today, I have a lot to share, so make yourself comfortable…
First, I’ve got some insights on Bitcoin from John Pangere, our warrants expert and editor of Freeport Strategic Opportunities…
And I want to touch on the “Manhattan Project” of our lifetime.
Let’s get to it…
Yesterday here, Freeport Society Chief Investment Strategist Charles Sizemore talked about how Bitcoin could hit $500,000 during Donald Trump’s next term.
John has something to add.
Here he is…
Bitcoin has a limited supply.
Over time, only 21 million total bitcoins can be “mined.” Today, there are over 19 million in existence. And we know that the last one will come in the year 2140 based on how the mining program works.
But even more compelling, if you look back at the history of bitcoin, we already know where it’s heading long-term: higher.
Bitcoin mining today is not too different from mining for gold. It takes the right equipment. It takes lots of energy. And it takes a big bankroll.
That wasn’t always the case. Back in the early days of bitcoin, all you needed was an internet connection and a decent computer. Almost anyone could do it from home.
But things changed based on the way the mining program is set up.
After bitcoin hits certain milestones, the program slows down. This is what we call a “halving.” When the program reaches a halving point, the output drops by half until the next halving. Then it drops again.
This goes on until miners can mine all 21 million bitcoin.
Dropping the output means it gets harder – and more costly – to mine.
That’s partly why I view bitcoin as a long-term store of value. If you ignore the noise of the short-term price swings, it should hold up over time.
It’s why I continue to accumulate bitcoin in my own portfolio. I see it as a sort of personal “treasury” asset much like I do gold and silver.
Trump has signaled to the world that he wants the U.S. to add bitcoin as a reserve asset. And that may be a smart move.
As the price of bitcoin ticks higher after each halving period, that would make the “bitcoin reserve” more valuable. Not unlike the value of U.S. gold in Fort Knox as gold heads higher.
As Charles wrote yesterday, this is why our paid-up members hold Bitcoin in The Freeport Investor model portfolio… and why he recommends adding more.
Charles had several other recommendations for you this week, as you’ll see in the recap below…
Why the Stock Market Could Double After Trump’s Inauguration
No matter how you feel about Donald Trump, his win has major implications. Despite seeing both opportunities and risks in the years ahead, The Freeport Society Co-Founder Brian Hunt believes Trump’s victory will lead to a major upswing in the stock market. Read on to learn the three factors that should drive stocks much higher from current levels.
How We Doubled Our Money by Getting Ahead of the Trump Trade
Donald Trump continues to announce key appointments to his administration, including Elon Musk’s role to streamline government and reduce spending. Stocks are on the rise… among them the holdings in Charles’s Trump Trade-focused Agenda 47 Portfolio. See Wednesday’s Navigator for more on his Trump presidency investment strategy.
How Bitcoin Hits $500,000 During Trump’s Next Term
You probably know Bitcoin is a “Trump trade,” and in Friday’s Navigator, Charles tells us why that’s true. He explores why investors are piling into crypto following Trump’s win… and Bitcoin’s chances of becoming an official U.S. government reserve currency. Keep reading for more on what’s behind the crypto surge — and the impact it could have on your portfolio.
Looking Ahead
Before we go, let’s touch on what some folks are calling the “Manhattan Project” of our time.
Trump has named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to spearhead a federal budget-slicing task force.
If this so-called Department of Government Efficiency cuts Washington’s bloated payroll without breaking functionality, then we’re all for it.
But what we found alarming is Vivek’s suggestion of how to do this. As he said…
Day one, anybody in the federal bureaucracy who’s not elected, whose Social Security number ends in an odd number, you’re out. If your Social Security starts in an even number, you’re in. That’s a 75% reduction.
We are 100% behind any effort to dismantle bureaucratic bloat and rein in government spending… but this seems like an extraordinarily random approach.
No wonder D.C. is in a flat panic.
But panic is the last thing we want.
Hear me out. The next four years are going to be chaotic.
That’s no surprise. Trump embraces chaos. He thrives on it and actively seeks it out.
But we’re keeping calm.
We can do that because the trends we follow at The Freeport Investor – and the stocks and other assets Charles recommends there – are designed for exactly this kind of environment.

That’s it for this week.
To life, liberty, and the pursuit of wealth,
