Report #154 declared what The Sovereign Institution™ is. Report #155 defines how it stays that way — culture preserving it internally, brand stewardship preserving its meaning externally, governance protecting both, and measurement making both inspectable. Bitcoin-anchored.
Why AI infrastructure, compute, energy, data centers, and programmable ownership — not model performance alone — will define the next trillion-dollar capital allocation cycle.
