TD₿: Col. Douglas Macgregor: Middle East Crisis Could Spark Global War, U.S. Dollar Losing Reserve Status - (a Coin Stories video) with Natalie Burnell
TL;DR: The “12 Day War” with Iran, exploring U.S. involvement, regional escalation, and global implications.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Natalie Brunell sits down with Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor to unpack the recent "12 Day War" between Israel and Iran, exposing the geopolitical missteps, military vulnerabilities, and deeper strategic consequences now unfolding across the Middle East. Macgregor explains that Israel likely initiated the conflict in an attempt to draw the United States into a broader war with Iran, assuming surprise and weakness on Iran’s part.
However, Iran’s rapid recovery, sustained missile retaliation, and overwhelming of Israeli air defenses caught many by surprise—including the Israeli leadership. The resulting ceasefire, Macgregor argues, is more a pause than a peace, as both sides are rapidly rearming for what may be a much larger confrontation ahead.

You’ll be responsible for managing the tax prep process from start to finish.

This is a hands-on technical role with real accountability and support from leadership as you grow.

Growth Path
This role offers a clear path for growth. As we expand, you’ll have the opportunity to increase hours, take on more responsibility, and eventually grow into a client-facing Tax Advisor role if that aligns with your goals. You'll gain exposure to advanced tax saving strategies, support clients in the small business, tech, and Bitcoin space, and help shape the future of our growing tax team.
We’re looking for someone with strong technical tax experience who is ready to take full ownership of the review process. Maybe you’ve been handling prep and review for years but haven’t yet had the opportunity to lead. If you're looking for that next step where your work has real impact and room to grow, this could be a great fit.

Sweden’s H100 Group Boosts Bitcoin Treasury With 47.33 BTC Purchase, Total Now 247.54 BTC
Sweden’s H100 Group AB has expanded its Bitcoin treasury with the purchase of an additional 47.33 BTC for SEK 48.99 million, bringing its total holdings to 247.54 BTC. The acquisition follows a recent inflow of 144.8 BTC from a convertible loan agreement tied to a broader SEK 750 million funding initiative led by Blockstream CEO Adam Back.
The loan structure allows H100 to receive capital in either Bitcoin or cash, enabling treasury growth without immediate equity dilution. Back invested SEK 150 million in Tranche 6 at a 33% premium, noting the early success of Tranches 1–4. H100 first adopted Bitcoin as a reserve asset in May with a 4.39 BTC purchase, becoming the first publicly listed health-tech firm in Sweden to do so. CEO Sander Andersen emphasized the alignment between Bitcoin’s principles and H100’s customer values.
