Apparently, some big shot Japanese investment firm, Metaplanet, just bought a bunch of Bitcoins. Like, 2,205 of them. For a cool $239 million. I guess that’s like buying a really expensive pair of shoes, but hey, who am I to judge? 👠
Apparently, a whopping 80% of all Bitcoin is now in the hands of “diamond hands” – aka people who are clinging to their coins for dear life and won’t sell without a fight. 💎
Bitcoin holding above $100k should have investors dancing naked under the nearest rainbow 🌈. And yet, like all wizards and city council members, they’re riddled with doubt. Miller Value Partners’ CIO recently mused on Bitcoin’s institutional allure, sighing that, for the TradFi crowd, it’s all about not accidentally blowing themselves up.
Curiously, the invite seems to have gotten lost in the post for Tether and Binance, the Beyoncé and Bono of the crypto world. Coincidence? 😂
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, now holds 700,307 BTC in its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, according to Apollo co-founder Thomas Fahrer. That’s a lot of digital dough, isn’t it? 🍞
BTC ended the week at $109,216, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s still really expensive. But hey, at least it’s not as boring as watching paint dry. 🎨
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, never one to shy away from a grand gesture, signed Decree No. 465/2025, effectively freezing the assets and banning the operations of 60 crypto firms. Of these, 55 are based in Russia, with the remaining five scattered across Cyprus, Kazakhstan, and the UAE. It’s a move that’s as much about sending a message as it is about practical impact. After all, who doesn’t love a good show of strength, especially when it involves freezing a few billion dollars? 🎉
In a post on X, Dorsey shared his weekend project, which involved learning about Bluetooth mesh networks, relays, and store and forward models, message encryption models, and a few other things. 🤓
The Nasdaq-listed company raised a whopping $172 million from its BTC sales and became the latest corporate Ethereum treasury firm. Quite the transformation, wouldn’t you say? 🦄💸
The court, presumably using a rubber stamp labelled ‘Nope,’ vacated a lower court’s ruling and told everyone to pack up their legal scrolls and go home. Both Coin Center and the Treasury agreed that, frankly, there are more exciting things to argue about, maybe even whether pineapple belongs on pizza. This spells the end of Coin Center’s quest to challenge the authority of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in making life difficult for Tornado Cash, a mixing service for money—or at least, things that might once have been money, before magic internet people got hold of it.
