Data from CoinMarketCap showed bitcoin climbed above USD 123,000 early Monday, up from about USD 108,000 only a week ago.

It's one of crypto's hottest trends: publicly traded companies buying bitcoin and then buying even more. President Donald Trump's media company just announced a plan to raise USD 2.5 billion to buy bitcoin, joining a growing number of so-called bitcoin treasury companies as the world's most popular crypto-currency hits all-time highs. The companies buy bitcoin for different reasons: Some hold it as a hedge against inflation or to signal support for the crypto-currency industry, while some firms have made using debt and stock sales to buy bitcoin their primary business strategy. The world at large has no idea what's happening and they're in for a big shock, Dylan LeClair, an executive at the Japan-based Metaplanet, which recently went from being a budget hotel firm to a bitcoin treasury company, said at a recent crypto conference. This is a one-way train, nothing is going to stop this. The massive increases in some firms' stock price may seem to validate LeClair's bravado, but there

While Democrats charge that Trump is using the power of the presidency to boost profits for his family business, even some pro-Trump crypto enthusiasts worry that the president's push into meme coins isn't helping their efforts to establish the credibility, stability and legitimacy they had thought his administration would bring to their businesses. After feeling unfairly targeted by the Biden administration, the industry has quickly become a ...
