This marks the first documented instance of central banks facing a trilemma specifically caused by cryptocurrency. Unlike previous financial challenges, banks cannot print Bitcoin to defend their currencies - a constraint that has never existed in modern monetary history. The specific holdings by El Salvador (6,089 BTC) and Bhutan (13,029 BTC) quantify the first official national strategic Bitcoin reserves.

📰 What Happened
Author Adam Livingston reported on July 9, 2025 that global central banks face an unprecedented trilemma due to Bitcoin's influence. Banks must either raise interest rates, use foreign reserves to support domestic currency, or purchase Bitcoin themselves. Currently, El Salvador and Bhutan officially hold 6,089 and 13,029 BTC respectively as national reserves, while the US, UK, China, and Ukraine unofficially hold Bitcoin without declaring it as reserves. Livingston states 'The free market is going to win.'
📖 Prophetic Significance
The emergence of a non-printable, decentralized currency forcing central banks into a defensive trilemma aligns with prophecies about economic control systems. The specific numbers - two nations officially holding 19,118 BTC combined, plus four major powers unofficially holding Bitcoin - shows the rapid shift toward a new monetary paradigm. Revelation 13's economic control system requires infrastructure that can bypass traditional central bank authority. This trilemma accelerates that by forcing banks to either legitimize crypto (joining the system) or deplete their power to resist it. The situation creates precisely the conditions needed for a sudden global monetary reset.
