Strategy has acquired nearly 14,000 Bitcoin in its latest buy-up of the cryptocurrency, trusting Michael Saylor’s vision even as prices flicker after the tariff truce. The purchase, which was announced by Saylor on Monday, pushes Strategy’s stash past half a million coins, daring regulators and markets alike.
Strategy Continues Dramatic Bitcoin Acquisition
According to a May 12 filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Virginia-based software firm purchased 13,390 Bitcoin at $99,856 per coin for a total of $1.34 billion.
The company currently holds 568,840 $BTC acquired for $39.41 billion at $69,287 per Bitcoin, a May 12 X post from Saylor states.

Cats vs Dogs Meme Coins: Do Cats Take Over?
Key Takeaways:
* Cat and dog meme coins had nearly identical lifespans and survival rates.
* In Q1 2025, cat coins outperformed dog coins. In early May, both camps rebounded, but cats still led in total gains.
* Dog-themed coins showed stronger internal price correlation. Cat coins were less coordinated.
The meme coin market has really branched out in recent years. Back when Dogecoin (DOGE) reigned supreme, anything with a barking mascot was front and center. But things have shifted. Now the dog pack has a rival: cat meme coins, led by Popcat (POPCAT).
The Cryptonews team dug into the numbers to find out who’s ahead in the cat-versus-dog rivalry. We analyzed the full universe of cat and dog meme coins, tracking their launch trends, lifespans, ROI, and overall performance, before zooming in on how they performed in Q1 2025. 0 reply

Rugpull Losses Soar 6,500% in 2025 as Crypto Scams Turn Deadlier, Nearly $6B Lost – DappRadar
Crypto rug pull losses have skyrocketed in 2025, with a single DeFi scam accounting for nearly $6 billion of the nearly $6 billion lost.
In a year already marred by mounting concerns about user safety, a new report from DappRadar revealed that crypto rugpulls have stolen nearly $6 billion from the ecosystem since the beginning of 2025.
This is a staggering 6,499% surge from the $90 million recorded during the same period last year.
According to DappRadar’s blockchain analyst Sara Gherghelas, 92% of the total damage is attributed to a single incident: the suspected rug pull orchestrated by Mantra Network, a DeFi project on the Polygon blockchain.
While the investigation into Mantra is ongoing, its sheer scale has already made it one of the most consequential scams in recent crypto history.
Yet, while the financial cost of rug pulls has ballooned, their frequency has notably decreased. 0 reply
