    The 10 Public Companies With the Biggest Bitcoin Portfolios

    For many years, the idea that publicly traded corporations might buy Bitcoin for their reserves was considered laughable. The top cryptocurrency was considered too volatile, too fringe to be embraced by any serious business. That taboo has been well and truly broken, with a number of major institutional investors buying up Bitcoin in recent years. The floodgates first opened when cloud software company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought $425 million worth of Bitcoin in August and September...

    Swedish Film 'Watch the Skies' Set for US Release With AI 'Visual Dubbing'

    When Swedish UFO film “Watch the Skies” hits U.S. cinemas this May, audiences won’t be able to tell that it wasn’t made in English. The film is the first full theatrical release to showcase “visual dubbing” technology from AI firm Flawless, which enables actors’ performances to be digitally lip-synced with foreign-language dubs. “Watch the Skies” follows rebellious teenager Denise, who teams up with a club of UFO watchers to solve the mystery of her missing father. The film was shot in Swedish,...

    The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has ended its investigation into trading platform Robinhood Crypto "with no action," the company said in a statement. According to the firm, the SEC's Enforcement Division advised Robinhood Crypto that "it had concluded its investigation and did not intend to move forward with an enforcement action," after sending the company a Wells Notice in May 2024 notifying it of a pending enforcement action.

    Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, The Creator of Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin arrived in 2008, but its creator to this day is known only by pseudonym: Satoshi Nakamoto. Many have spun up theories about who Satoshi really is—either to solve the mystery or, in some cases, to further an agenda of their own—but no one has offered a definitive answer. Adding to the intrigue, wallets linked to Satoshi, which collectively hold approximately 1.1 million BTC mined in Bitcoin’s earliest days, have remained untouched for years. The last known transaction from these wallets o...

    The Year in Crypto: Binance’s Nigerian Hostage Crisis

    In a year of dramatic crypto stories, among the most striking was that of Tigran Gambaryan, a former IRS agent and Binance executive who was detained for eight months in Nigeria on charges of money laundering. Taking in daring escapes, courtroom collapses, and Congressional resolutions, the unfolding saga was akin to a Hollywood movie—but with very real consequences for those involved. Here’s how the story unfolded. Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen, joined Binance as the crypto exchange’s VP of Global...

    What Are Meme Coins and Tokens?

    Memes have always been part of crypto culture—so it was perhaps inevitable that they would be financialized using the same technology that birthed cryptocurrencies. Initially, meme coins like Dogecoin were created as a joke, poking fun at cryptocurrencies—but, in true decentralized fashion, they’ve evolved beyond their creators’ original intentions. With their highly volatile prices shaped by influencers and rapidly moving news cycles, meme coins have become a growing sector of the crypto econom...
