    McDonald's Exec Stirs Up Bitcoin Crowd With McRib Return

    The price of Bitcoin rose on Monday as McDonald’s prepared for the McRib’s return in the U.S., mirroring momentum seen alongside the sandwich’s showing last year. For several years, the sandwich’s availability has been informally linked to periods of strength for the leading digital asset by market cap, as well as stock indices like the S&P 500. The dynamic was referenced by McDonald’s Senior Marketing Director Guillaume Huin, who said on X on Monday that the barbecue-flavored fan favorite “has...

    Strategy Buys Bitcoin With Proceeds From Preferred Shares as Key Premium Evaporates

    Strategy issued $50 million in preferred stock to fund its latest Bitcoin purchase, leaving common shareholders undiluted as its market cap approached a key threshold, the Bitcoin-buying firm signaled in a blog post on Monday. The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company was recently valued at $71 billion, reflecting a 1.06x premium against its $67.8 billion Bitcoin stockpile. The premium, often referred to as mNAV, or multiple-to-net asset value, was close to its smallest in 20 months. Last week,...

    Next Wave of Stablecoin Boom May Seem Invisible, Says Transak CEO

    Most companies want their brand to be front and center when a consumer uses their product, but as an infrastructure provider that specializes in crypto payments, the opposite is rather true for Transak and its stablecoin ambitions. Transak co-founder and CEO Sami Start told Decrypt that the company is leaning into modular APIs as a white-labeled offering for established firms that want to augment their existing services with stablecoins.  As a result, the Tether-backed firm, which has raised $40...

  • Labubus and Unicorns: Florida Crypto Confab Unshaken by Bitcoin Volatility

    Most attendees at a crypto conference in South Florida on Wednesday were eager to talk about the industry—between Labubu-fueled marketing tactics and the local party scene—but Bitcoin’s recent fall to $100,000 wasn’t top of mind for many. At the Seminole Hardrock in Davie, several conferencegoers told Decrypt that they weren’t checking charts as Bitcoin’s price hovered near a five-month low. They soaked up the sun and commiserated with colleagues amid the palm trees while they could. The two-day...

    Zcash Surging on 'Cypherpunk Principles' as Bitcoin Alternative: Galaxy Digital

    As barriers between crypto and traditional finance blend, Zcash is gaining recognition as an alternative to Bitcoin, according to Will Owens, a research analyst at Galaxy Digital. Although the privacy-focused crypto is much smaller than its $2 trillion counterpart, Zcash borrows foundational elements from Bitcoin’s codebase, and it’s serving as a spiritual successor in some ways, Owens wrote in a Tuesday report. Zcash allows users to “shield” transactions with zero-knowledge proofs, and the netw...

    An account once used by Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and former CEO of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, posted a link to a document on X late Thursday arguing the company was never insolvent, echoing arguments raised at his trial years ago. The 14-page document, supposedly written by the disgraced wunderkind and his team, claims the exchange did not go bankrupt because of a sweeping scheme to commit fraud and misappropriate $10 billion in customers' funds, as a Manhattan jury found in 2023.
