Bitcoin Breaks $81K as AI Agents Start Spending Money

Bitcoin has blasted past $81,000, but somehow that is not even the wildest story in crypto this week. In Episode 807 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel Comm and Travis Wright break down a massive week where Bitcoin ETF inflows surged, Michael Saylor's Bitcoin stack grew to nearly 4% of the total supply, Google committed up to $40 billion toward Anthropic, and AI agents began crossing into territory once reserved for humans: opening accounts, making payments, and deploying software. The boys also dig into the explosive growth of tokenized real-world assets, including Treasuries, gold, and stocks moving on-chain, plus the looming May 21st deadline for the Clarity Act and what it could mean for XRP and the broader crypto market. Crypto, AI, and traditional finance are no longer separate stories. They are becoming one very strange, very powerful story. Welcome to the future. Stay bad. Support the show:
