Bitcoin remained relatively flat after April's inflation data showed prices rose 0.2% for the month, with the annual inflation rate slowing to 2.3%, while core inflation held steady at 2.8%. The Federal Reserve recently kept interest rates at 4.25%-4.50% amid economic uncertainty created by Trump's tariff policies, with markets now showing just a 15% chance of a June rate cut. The US and China reached a surprise trade agreement on May 12, reducing mutual tariffs for 90 days, which boosted equities markets but had limited impact on Bitcoin, which traded around $103,798 .Economists expected the index, which tracks price changes across a broad range of goods and services, to rise 2.4% from a year earlier.
BTC, which had surged over 10% last week, was trading around $101,758 on Tuesday morning, rose briefly, and has now fallen 0.3% to $103,798, as per CoinGecko data.
Ethereum rose 0.5%, Solana dropped only 0.1%, and meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu were flat in the wake of the new CPI report.
Metaplanet is a Japanese company that is trying to buy Bitcoin regularly. They have bought a total of 6796 Bitcoins and can hold it for a long time. I think they should not miss out on buying Bitcoin, buying Bitcoin regularly is expected to make them widely known as a great investment company.

Coinbase Decided Following Strategy's Bitcoin Reserve Playbook ‘Too Risky’: CEO Brian Armstrong argued that excessive exposure to Bitcoin would have been too risky, though about a quarter of its net cash is in crypto.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/05/12/UULfgW.jpeg Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that the crypto exchange considered putting 80% of its balance sheet into Bitcoin—but decided against it over fears it could "kill the company."
During a question-and-answer session with customers, executives were asked whether they missed an opportunity to start amassing BTC sooner, given the company had an eight-year headstart on software firm Strategy. these reserves pale in comparison to the 555,450 BTC that Strategy has on its balance sheet, which is worth $58 billion at the time of writing.
The software firm first started acquiring BTC back in August 2020, and is currently sitting on paper profits of about $30 billion. Since then, a number of other companies have adopted a similar Bitcoin treasury strategy.

Joe Concha has written an incredible new book, “THE GREATEST COMEBACK EVER: Inside Trump’s Big Beautiful Campaign.” Joe has been studying our Movement from the very beginning and understands, far better than the many other so-called “experts,” the Iconic Moments that contributed to our truly Historic Election. We broke through the Fake News, which is getting worse by the hour, and exposed the TRUTH of the many challenges our Nation is facing — and WON BIG. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
Bitcoin Dominance Hits Four-Year High As BTC Price Tops $97,000 Bitcoin dominance is up to 64.89%, up from around 57.9% at the start of the year, as its price inches closer to $100,000.
Bitcoin’s dominance of the cryptocurrency market reached 64.89% today, its highest level since January 2021, as the price of Bitcoin topped $97,000 Friday morning. BTC’s dominance—its capitalization as a percentage of the entire market’s cap—has risen from around 57.90% at the start of the year, according to TradingView data.
It had dropped to 55% by early December, as euphoria following Donald Trump’s election victory pushed altcoin prices to new highs. Yet this positive sentiment turned to fear and uncertainty when the Trump administration began imposing (and ramping up) tariffs in February and March, dampening investor appetite for altcoins. Bitcoin’s Friday surge to $97,000 puts it just 10.9% below its all-time high of $108,786 set in January, whereas the likes of Ethereum, Solana and Dogecoin are down 54%, 43% and 61% respectively on highs set in either December or January, per data from CoinGecko. At time of publication, Bitcoin has retraced slightly to $96,947, up 0.7% on the day.
It has also shown resilience despite recent market turbulence, and investors can now see a decent history of bounce-backs following large pullbacks,” he added.
This may prove key for as long as tariffs weigh down the U.S. and global economy, with Bitcoin’s relative resilience during this period likely to help it increase its market cap dominance.

Este día he enviado a la Asamblea Legislativa una propuesta para ampliar la exoneración del impuesto sobre la renta a todos los salarios de hasta $550.
Esta medida beneficiará directamente a más de 100,000 familias salvadoreñas.
Además, brindará un incentivo fiscal que favorecerá los aumentos salariales en los rangos más bajos, incluyendo aquellos que actualmente ya superan el salario mínimo
Excelente iniciativa, señor presidente. Esta medida no solo representa un alivio económico para miles de familias salvadoreñas, sino que también incentiva la formalización laboral y mejora el poder adquisitivo de quienes más lo necesitan. Gracias por seguir impulsando políticas que ponen en el centro a la población.

Public Keys: Strategy Doubles Down on Bitcoin Plans, Robinhood Glitters With Gold Strategy goes full laser-eyes for Bitcoin while Cboe pats itself on the back for its “really nice” crypto ecosystem.
Strategy announced its 42-42 Capital Plan to amass $42 billion in equity and fixed income by 2027 despite posting a fifth consecutive quarterly loss. Cboe reported record earnings with 21% EPS growth and highlighted its expanding crypto ecosystem including new Bitcoin index options and futures products. Robinhood saw 100% year-over-year growth in crypto transaction revenue, but experienced a quarterly decline as it works to diversify beyond crypto trading.
That’s in part due to the company pivoting from an on-premises to subscription model with its software customers. Yeah, remember those? Strategy has customers who pay for its data analytics software, even though it’s got nothing to do with Bitcoin. “In Q1, total software revenues were approximately $111 million, down 3.6% year-over-year,” Andrew Kang, chief financial offer, said during the call. “The lower product license revenues, along with support revenues in Q1, continues to be as expected, and our overall revenue trend continues to reflect the ongoing transition of our software business from on-prem to the cloud.”
2/ The Blockchain Group ($ALTBG) didn’t pivot to #Bitcoin—It rebuilt itself around it. After a full corporate reset in late 2023, TBG adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy focused on one metric: 👑 BTC per share
4/ That last number is key: BTC/share: 41 → 332 sats in 6 months. That’s a 709.8% BTC Yield—a KPI that measures growth in BTC per fully diluted share. It’s how @_ALTBG outperformed Bitcoin itself by more than 20x.
5/ This is the capital refinery model in action. @_ALTBG raised capital at a premium. Issued convertibles denominated in Bitcoin. Deployed every euro with one goal: more sats per share. No gimmicks. No token launches. Just disciplined #Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
8/ If #Bitcoin hits €1–2M per BTC, that could mean: ➤ €210B–420B BTC NAV ➤ Potentially the most valuable public company in Europe This is what long-term Bitcoin capital strategy looks like—played at scale.
9/ The Blockchain Group isn’t just holding #Bitcoin—It’s optimizing for it. By measuring value in BTC/share—not euros—they’ve unlocked a new model for shareholder performance. And Europe’s corporate treasury game just changed.
10/ Read the full story: After a full reset in 2023, The Blockchain Group emerged as Europe’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company—and it’s now outpacing Bitcoin itself The Rise of Europe’s First Bitcoin Treasury Company After a full reset in 2023, The Blockchain Group emerged as Europe’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company—and it’s now outpacing Bitcoin itself. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/bitcoin-for-corporations/the-rise-of-europes-first-bitcoin-treasury-company.

. Bitcoin-Friendly El Salvador Pitches Tokenized Real Estate 'Sandbox' to Trump's SEC The prospect was raised during a meeting between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force and El Salvador regulators. The El Salvador National Commission on Digital Assets may let U.S. firms experiment with tokenized real estate in the Central American nation. Perkin said her team includes CNAD’s president, Juan Carlos Reyes, and a former partner at Goldman Sachs, Heather Shemilt. Carmen Elena Ochoa de Medina, a former CNAD regulator, is also involved in the initiative, Perkin said. The SEC nor CNAD immediately responded to a request for comment from Decrypt. The proposal follows a meeting between U.S President Donald Trump and El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, earlier this month. The two did not discuss their shared appreciation of Bitcoin publicly, while controversy surrounding a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador took center stage.
The U.S. has adopted a crypto-friendly stance under Trump, but El Salvador has been experimenting with Bitcoin for years. In addition to making Bitcoin legal tender, it’s explored using energy from volcanoes to mine the asset, while cultivating a reputation for being a tourist destination among Bitcoin’s devotees.
The country has been stockpiling Bitcoin since 2021, mirroring the ambitions of Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which may use tariffs as a way to fund Bitcoin purchases. El Salvador’s government currently holds $573 million in Bitcoin, according to data from crypto analytics platform Arkham Intelligence.
In March, Bukele rejected conditions set by the International Monetary Fund for a $1.4 billion loan, which would effectively require El Salvador to stop buying Bitcoin. The Central American nation’s wallets still consistently receive Bitcoin, as recently as Wednesday.

Señor @NicolasMaduro,
Usted declaró ayer que no aceptará nuestra propuesta de intercambio de prisioneros. Sin embargo, su negativa carece de coherencia.
Usted mismo ha realizado este tipo de intercambios en el pasado. Incluso llegó a liberar a 30 presos políticos a cambio de uno solo: Alex Saab, uno de sus más cercanos colaboradores, acusado de participar en delitos graves y crímenes contra el pueblo venezolano.
¿Le pareció justo un intercambio de 30 por 1, pero rechaza ahora una propuesta equitativa de 1 por 1?
¿No fue usted quien afirmó que haría “todo lo que fuera necesario” para lograr la liberación de los venezolanos detenidos en El Salvador?
¿Quiere decir entonces que estaba mintiendo? ¿Fue un simple espectáculo mediático la recepción en Miraflores a los familiares de los detenidos?
Le reitero nuestra propuesta, esta vez anexando la documentación formal enviada a su Cancillería.
Quedo a la espera de su respuesta. Y espero que el pueblo venezolano, y el mundo entero, puedan ver con claridad, si aún les quedaba alguna duda, quién es usted en realidad.
