Strategy shares soared almost 6% in after-hours trading after the Bitcoin treasury firm’s third-quarter results topped analyst forecasts and Michael Saylor said it’s unlikely to buy smaller rivals. The company reported diluted earnings per share of $8.42 for the three months ended Sept. 30, above Wall Street’s estimate of $8.15. Revenue reached $2.8 billion, rebounding from a $340.2 million loss a year earlier but well below its record $10 billion profit in the previous quarter. Despite the stronger results, Strategy’s stock remains under pressure, down more than 20% in the past month and over 30% in six months as Bitcoin’s decline weighs on its $47.4 billion crypto holdings. Strategy (MSTR) closed the latest trading day down more than 7%, according to Google Finance.  Strategy share price (Source: Google Finance) Saylor Says It’s Unlikely Strategy Will Buy Smaller Rivals Firms including Japan-based Metaplanet and leading Ethereum tre...

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao has moved to distance himself from a Donald Trump-esque golden statue of himself that has been erected in front of the White House by a group of memecoin creators. The recently pardoned crypto exec disavowed the project — which, predictably, comes with it’s own token on Four Meme called CZSTATUE — after its creators offered to ship him the statue. He also advised users against buying the token. Zhao said, “While I want to appreciate the gesture, the fact that there is a memecoin associated with this means the creator probably just wanted to make a quick buck off an interaction from me. “ This is something I don’t appreciate. Don’t buy the meme .”  Zhao added that he’d never accept a statue of himself, and that someone would have to be an “egomaniac” to have such a statue in their home. “Someone once give me a t-shirt with my face on it, thinking I would wear it. Again, who’d have an eg...

The Bitwise spot Solana ETF (exchange traded fund) debuted yesterday with the highest first-day trading volume of any ETF in 2025. Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) recorded $56 million in debut trading, outpacing the launches of REX Osprey’s XRP and Solana staking ETFs. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted in a post on X that BSOL’s volumes could have reached around $280 million if the fund’s total seed capital had been invested on the first day, surpassing even the first-day activity of BlackRock’s spot Ethereum ETF (ETHA) last year. $BSOL's $56m is the MOST of any launch this year.. More than $XRPR, $SSK, Ives and $BMNU. And what's amazing is it seeded with $220m. It could have invested seed on Day One, which would have resulted in $280m-ish, would be even more than $ETHA's debut. Strong start either way. — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) October 28, 2025 The strong start underscores how institutional interest in digital assets is br...

Ace investor Warren Buffett has shifted his outlook on the US dollar over the past decade as the BRICS nations gain a strong foothold. His statements on the US dollar were bullish during an interview in 2015. He also spoke highly of the USD in 2020, but by 2025, things had taken a dramatic U-turn. Warren Buffett’s 2015 Prediction on the US Dollar (Before BRICS De-Dollarization) Source: Investopedia / Getty Images During an interview in 2015, Warren Buffett remained bullish on the US dollar’s prospects, which was much before BRICS kick-started the de-dollarization agenda. He predicted that the US dollar would remain the world’s reserve currency for the next 50 years. “I think the dollar will be the world’s reserve currency 50 years from now. I think the probabilities of that are very high,” he said. When asked how confident he is, Buffet said, “Nothing certain. But I would bet a lot of money on that one.” This statement from Warren Buffett on the US dollar was before ...

While it’s fair to say that Donald Trump’s memecoin $TRUMP — down 80% since its launch in January and currently sitting 86% below all-time highs — is doing poorly, it’s worth taking a quick look at the other Trump memecoin: Melania coin. Melania Trump, who launched her own memecoin less than a day after her husband, has seen her token lose an extraordinary 94% since launch and 97.8% off all-time highs. However, the first lady has seen little, if any, blowback for her obvious rug pulls, particularly compared to the criticisms levelled at the president. The Apollo-11 NFTs Melania first dipped her toe in the world of high tech grifting when she announced a now unavailable Apollo-11 NFT collection that didn’t receive approval from NASA. The launch, which was strange considering how little Melania was involved with the United States space program, came after her husband’s first stint as POTUS. NASA has repeatedly forced unauthorized creators and art...
