Let me get this straight: They might sell some Bitcoin, but only so they can buy more later. Like a crypto version of “buy one, give one,” except the charity here is their own wallet. Here’s the real kicker: after a $12.54 billion loss in Q1 (because nothing says “financial stability” like losing 12 digits), they’re still holding 818,334 BTC. At an average price of $75k per coin. Because why not? Let’s all just pretend we’re not worried about that.

March, you see, was a month of such monumental grumpiness that a record $12 billion stomped out of global gold ETFs faster than a wizard fleeing a tax audit. US-Iran tensions, they say, were to blame-though personally, I suspect the gold was just having a bad hair day. But lo and behold, April arrived, and the sun came out, both literally and metaphorically, with Europe and Asia deciding it was time to stuff their mattresses with bullion again.

The analysts, those modern-day prophets in their data-choked temples, whisper of macro pressures easing, of undervaluation and futures demand surging like a tide of misplaced confidence. Yet one cannot help but wonder: is this a true resurgence, or merely the echo of past follies, a ghostly refrain from the days when BTC danced above $90,000, a price now as distant as the memory of winter snows in July? The short-term holders, in their brief moment of glory, sip from the chalice of profitability, their SOPR ratio a fragile candle flickering above 1.00-a number that, in this world of volatility, might as well be a lottery ticket.

This little power shift wasn’t exactly a surprise. Multicoin Capital, a crypto fund with the word “prominent” tattooed on their forehead, spilled the beans about hoarding ZEC since February. Their reasoning? Shielded transactions as a defense against governments trying to audit crypto holdings. Because nothing says “privacy” like trusting a coin that hides your transactions from the IRS. Next, they’ll tell us they’ve got a secret stash of tax forms.

During a recent earnings call, the man himself revealed the unthinkable: selling portions of their colossal Bitcoin stash. But fear not, for in a fresh chinwag, Saylor has set the record as straight as a cucumber sandwich, insisting that if they sell a smidge, they’ll simply buy back tenfold. Jolly good show, what?

A new report from Binance Research suggests that people are increasingly using cryptocurrency to improve their financial access, rather than just for trading. The report found that 83% of Binance users who use multiple services are located in developing countries, and these users save money at more than double the rate of those in developed countries.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net inflows every week since April 2, pulling in a combined $3.4 billion over that stretch, according to data from SoSoValue. This is the longest consecutive inflow streak in more than nine months-a period so distant it might as well have been the reign of King Charles III.

After a protracted conversation (a full hour, which is nearly the duration of a decent opera), the light of revelation dawned: she had been duped by a charlatan. Naturally, she hastened to a Wells Fargo branch, clutching her report like a pilgrim with a holy relic, only to be met with the icy stare of bureaucracy. Three times they denied her claim, citing, with the solemnity of a judge in a panto, that she had “allowed” the scoundrels access to her Zelle account. How very convenient.
