    "Kalshi prices just 4% on Trump creating a National Bitcoin Reserve in 2026, treating the committee passage as far short of a done deal.",
    "The bitcoin reserve bill clearing committee is the most advanced this type of legislation has been, yet the Kalshi contract is unmoved at 4%, suggesting markets see the full passage path as very unlikely.",
    "Bitcoin's rally to near $87,000 is a market price move in the spot asset; the prediction market contract specifically tracks whether Trump formally creates a reserve, a higher legal bar.",
    "Resolution is via The New York Times as the named source, meaning the contract settles on confirmed published reporting of a formal executive or legislative creation, not just committee action."
