  • This Week in Bitcoin: BTC Plunges as US Gets Go-Ahead to Sell Silk Road Billions

    It was all going so well. Bitcoiners were feeling the euphoria Monday when the biggest digital coin was trading above $100,000 per coin for the first time so far in 2025, at one point touching a high of $102,290, according to CoinGecko.  But then America’s central bank had to do what it always does: remind markets that it still runs the show. The Federal Reserve on Wednesday released its December meeting minutes, showing that its members were likely to pause on cutting interest rates in 2025 ove...

    This Publicly Traded Distiller Is Launching a Bitcoin Treasury Reserve

    The number of publicly traded companies adopting the Bitcoin standard is growing, and the latest to go in on the orange coin is spirits firm Heritage Distilling.  Heritage Distilling, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker CASK, said Friday that it would start to hold the cryptocurrency as a “strategic asset” and accept it for payments. The plan is subject to approval, the company said, and Heritage will first craft a policy plan for the board to greenlight before anything happens.  But the...

    Bitcoin and Ethereum Drop to 2025 Lows as Investors Cash Out of ETFs

    After hitting a new all-time high last month, Bitcoin is back down again and touched its lowest level in weeks Thursday morning as investors cashed out of the crypto ETFs. CoinGecko data shows that the biggest cryptocurrency dropped below $92,000 per coin at 9am ET, hitting a 2025 low of $91,925. It's now up and is trading for about $93,700. Still, over a seven-day period, the asset is down by 3.5%. Investors are pulling out of the American Bitcoin ETFs, which started were approved one year ago...

    Inflation May Be Tough to Tame Under Bitcoin-Friendly Trump, Says Fed

    Bitcoin and other major crypto assets didn't move substantially Wednesday after the Federal Reserve released the minutes for its December meeting. However, the central bank hinted that inflation might be stickier than expected with incoming President-elect Donald Trump. The minutes released Wednesday by America's central bank read that "the effects of potential changes in trade and immigration policy" could lead to inflation staying higher than the 2% target. And the institution's officials said...

    Terra Collapse May Have Impacted a Million Victims, Feds Allege in Do Kwon Case

    The Terra ecosystem collapse in 2022 didn't make as many headlines as FTX, but the total number of victims could exceed 1 million, according to new court documents. The documents filed this week allege that the number of victims of disgraced crypto mogul, Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon, is “difficult to precisely quantify.” Kwon last week pleaded not guilty in a New York court to U.S. criminal charges including fraud over the collapse of the Terra crypto ecosystem. His crypto project went up in...

    Trump Wants All Future Bitcoin Mined in US—Is That Even Possible?

    Bitcoin mining is a big business in the U.S.—but how big? And will Donald Trump's return to the White House make a difference?  The President-elect last year said—along with plenty of other pro-crypto pledges—that he wanted all remaining coins to be mined on American soil. Spoiler alert: This will be very difficult, if not impossible.  Data compiled by TheMinerMag shows that U.S. miners currently account for around 40% of the mining hashrate—more than any other country.  But experts told Decryp...
