A cursory read of headlines this week has led some crypto investors to cheer the historic creation of digital asset reserve funds by two states. Governors of New Hampshire and Arizona have signed bills that created what seemed to be the first two digital asset reserves in US state history. However, a closer review of those reserves reveals a substantial difference between their actual text and social media posts about them. Consider Arizona’s newly signed law authorizing the creation of a “bitcoin (BTC) and digital assets reserve fund.” Although a fund is, indeed, now authorized by law, Arizona will not be making any crypto purchases. Instead, the state may only add seized assets from civil and criminal legal proceedings to its so-called Bitcoin Reserve Fund. According to Arizona’s newly-revised Section 44-302 statute, the state now defines certain types of property, like checks, annuities, certificates of deposit, and digital assets, as “ presumed abandoned ”...

With crypto markets down $1 trillion since Donald Trump’s inauguration, investors are becoming increasingly desperate to raise capital to buy at 25% off last month’s prices. In a controversial, late-night tweet, Strategy founder Michael Saylor even suggested selling a kidney to hold onto bitcoin (BTC). Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin. — Michael Saylor️ (@saylor) February 28, 2025 His 11pm tweet with BTC’s price below $80,000 was even more contentious than his March 2021 advice to “ go mortgage your house and buy bitcoin with it ” that earned him months of derision. BTC went on to trade below his advisory prices for years and wouldn’t settle into a higher average price range until February 2024. Saylor’s tweet, with BTC price below $80,000 was even more contentious than his advice to “go mortgage your house and buy bitcoin with it.” Read more: Michael Saylor’s bitcoin announcements no longer seem to pump MSTR stock Sa...

Fans of Binance cheered on September 27 when founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) walked free from US Bureau of Prisons custody. One of crypto’s wealthiest entrepreneurs had seemingly emerged victorious – fines paid, prison sentence served, and according to Forbes, billions of dollars richer.  However, a health check of the market indicates that CZ was better for crypto prices while he was in prison.
