In Episode 6 The Bitcoin Policy Hour, the Bitcoin Policy Institute team unpacks the emerging “Riyadh Accord,” a sweeping geopolitical realignment where the United States, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf nations are bundling AI, Bitcoin, and techno-industrial leverage into a new framework of global influence.As Blackwell chips begin to replace F-35s as diplomatic bargaining tools, and sovereign wealth funds quietly accumulate Bitcoin, Riyadh is fast becoming the epicenter of digital energy, intelligence infrastructure, and monetary power. The conversation explores how U.S. foreign policy is shifting from military entanglements toward high-tech trade agreements and capital co-investments — with AI and Bitcoin at the core.PLUS, they explore the recent slew of BTC treasury companies amping up activity and how they fit into the picture of jurisdictional and memetic arbitrage.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:45 - What Is the “Riyadh Accord”?07:30 - Blackwell Chips Replace F-35s in Middle East Bargains13:30 - AGI Infrastructure: Will the AI Run Happen in Riyadh?17:00 - A New Multipolar World Centered on Energy and Compute21:00 - Samourai Wallet, Legal Overreach, and Bitcoin’s Core Ethos26:30 - Policy Hypocrisy: Bitcoin Freedom vs. Surveillance State31:00 - AI Feudalism and the Fight for Decentralized Money36:00 - The Open Source AI vs. Corporate Subscription Future41:00 - Bearer Assets: Bitcoin, GPUs, and Energy as Sovereign Tools46:00 - Global Reflexivity and Bitcoin Treasury Companies51:00 - Metaplanet, Nakamoto, and the Meme Wrapped in Arbitrage56:00 - Bitcoin’s Geopolitical Moment: What Comes Next?01:01:00 - Closing Thoughts: Bitcoin Banks, Policy Risks, and Meme Economics⭐ Join top policymakers, technologists, and Bitcoin industry leaders at the 2025 Bitcoin Policy Summit, June 25–26 in Washington, D.C.🎟️ Get 21% off with code "BTCPOLICYHOUR" → https://www.btcpolicysummit.org/📡 Follow the Bitcoin Policy Institute on X: https://x.com/btcpolicyorg----------------🟠 Use code BMVIDEO10 for 10% off tickets to the Bitcoin Conference, May 27–29 in Las Vegas!🎟️👉 https://tickets.b.tc/event/bitcoin-2025----------------#RiyadhAccord #Bitcoin #AI #Geopolitics #BitcoinPolicy #BlackwellChips #BitcoinTreasury #SovereignWealth #SamouraiWallet #DecentralizedAI #MattPines #BitcoinStrategy #MiddleEast #BitcoinAdoption #OpenSourceFinance
