Costco just filed a lawsuit demanding tariff refunds before the Supreme Court even decides whether those tariffs were legal in the first place. Bold move, right? This shows how major corporations are positioning themselves ahead of potential policy shifts.

What's interesting here is the timing. Companies aren't waiting for legal clarity—they're playing offense. This kind of uncertainty around trade policy creates ripple effects across all markets. When traditional businesses face margin pressure from tariffs, capital flows shift. Some of that money inevitably finds its way into alternative assets as hedges against policy volatility.

The Supreme Court ruling could set precedent for how governments can impose economic measures without legislative backing. That matters beyond retail—it shapes how investors think about regulatory risk across the board, including digital assets and decentralized finance systems that exist partly as responses to traditional policy unpredictability.
