Good heavens! They're planning to raise up to $44.1 billion to buy Bitcoin? Strategy, the world's largest Bitcoin reserve provider, just filed an 8-K preliminary material disclosure, planning to issue up to $41 billion in common stock and STRC preferred stock, and another $2.1 billion in STRK preferred stock, through ATM sales.

Trump: We've had talks. Iranian media: That's fake. Trump: We did talk, just yesterday. Who's going to regulate these two countries?! Investors are treated like dogs.

Has this backfired? Iranian media claims they had no contact with Trump and allege that he withdrew his threat to attack energy facilities. Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry accused Trump of stalling for time to de-escalate the regional crisis. Previously, Iran claimed to have engaged in effective dialogue with Iran and that the attack on key facilities had been postponed by five days.

A ceasefire has been confirmed! Trump just tweeted on his platform, "I'm pleased to announce that the United States and Iran have had a full and effective dialogue over the past two days." Therefore, he instructed the U.S. Department of Defense to postpone the strike on Iran's core facilities for five days.

Gold, silver, and other precious metals, which were among the top performers last year, have now wiped out all of their gains for the year and are experiencing a rapid decline.

This is a rather interesting chart; the cash reserves of major tech companies are being rapidly depleted by the AI race.

If you're feeling down because of investment losses, take a look at this story. Hong Kong police disclosed a fraud case in which a 66-year-old retiree, trusting a self-proclaimed "Eternal Profit Master," handed over his money, only to have the master abscond, leaving him defrauded of HK$1.4 million. To recover this money, he contacted someone claiming to be a security expert. This person, after receiving a HK$600,000 "service deposit," disappeared, leaving him with no choice but to report the incident to the police. In January of this year, another "expert" contacted the victim, claiming they could recover the losses from the previous two scams in one fell swoop, on the condition that he purchase HK$4.6 million worth of cryptocurrency, which needed to be deposited into their account. After the victim followed the instructions, the "expert" disappeared again. This retiree has now been scammed three times, totaling HK$6.6 million, a truly heartbreaking situation.

Honestly, I'm worried for my friends working and living in the UAE. Previously, this guy's attack might have been motivated by revenge against the US military, but now Iran is directly demanding money from the UAE.

This is what it will be like in 2026: For under $2000, you can get the entire Apple ecosystem and become a Mac user. With government subsidies, platform subsidies, and student discounts available in China, it should be even cheaper.

Wait, this description sounds familiar? Trump just tweeted on his social media platform: "Without the United States, NATO is a paper tiger!" He accused these European allies of being unwilling to contribute to the war effort, but now complaining about high oil prices. Trump said he will always remember them.
