US President Donald Trump said in a press huddle that he gets “no credit” for taking a $0 salary each year. He went ahead saying that he let go of millions of dollars by “waiving” his presidential salary. Trump claimed that he’s the only President to have done so, and no others waived their salaries despite being well-off and wealthy while holding the highest office of the land.“I waived it. I’m the only president that ever waived it,” said Trump. “We’ve had wealthy presidents before. In the history of our country, there’s never been a president that waved his salary. I’m the only schmuck. I get no credit for it,” he said. He made sure to emphasize that the salary is not a small amount, but a significant one. “It’s still a couple of million bucks. It’s not peanuts.”The salary of a US President is $400,000 a year, which eventually adds up to $1.6 million for a term of four years. Joe Biden’s salary during the previous term was $1.6 million. Barack Obama, who served for eight years, earned $3.2 million during his time in office. Social media platforms quickly erupted with Trump supporters exclaiming, “Our President works for free.”Also Read: Elon Musk’s Father Says Both His Sons Own $1.6 Billion Worth of BitcoinIs Trump the Only President to Take a $0 Salary?Source: ShutterstockThe New York Times reported that both John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover worked for free as presidents indirectly. Both the leaders donated their entire salaries to charity, as they were among the wealthiest to serve in the White House. Also, leading economist and gold proponent Peter Schiff said that Trump is making more money as President by taking a $0 salary.“Trump has made billions exploiting his power as president. Why would he need a salary? That’s peanuts,” said Schiff. “He gives up his tiny salary as a publicity stunt to create the false impression that he’s not in it for the

Elon Musk's X Money stands to disrupt payments and pressure PayPal, but crypto plans may hit regulatory hurdles: Mizuho
Mizuho research analysts said New York’s proposed CRYPTO Act could raise the stakes for X Money’s “potential, eventual crypto integration.”

The Clarity Act potentially curbing non-banking institutions from offering yield could be another headwind.
X Money, the new add-on to the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has the potential to disrupt the payments industry in the U.S. — including negatively impacting PayPal's business — Mizuho research analysts said on Thursday.

However, New York State's recently introduced CRYPTO Act could complicate any future plans X Money may have for integrating crypto payments, they said.

"The proposed New York CRYPTO Act would criminalize unlicensed virtual currency business activity in the state, raising the stakes for X's potential, eventual crypto integration," Mizuho analysts Dan Dolev and Andrew Jenkins wrote in a note to clients.

They also said the Clarity Act, which might end up limiting non-bank financial platforms' ability to offer customers yield, could hinder X Money's proposal to offer customers 6% annual percentage yield on cash balances.

"The timing of X Money's 6% APY launch is particularly sensitive," given the Clarity Act, the analysts added.

Whether or not platforms should be able to offer users some kind of yield, or rewards, for holding crypto, principally stablecoins, has been a major sticking point in efforts to advance the Clarity Act. The new legislation is meant to create a broad regulatory framework for digital assets.

New York State's Cryptocurrency Regulation Yields Protections, Trust, and Oversight (CRYPTO) Act seeks to criminalize unlicensed virtual currency businesses operating in the state.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back stated that a future post-quantum upgrade of Bitcoin could reveal the true size of Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings. According to estimates, Satoshi may control between 500,000 and 1 million BTC, but the exact amount of accessible coins remains uncertain.

The idea is based on a potential migration to quantum-resistant address formats. In such a scenario, all Bitcoin holders would be encouraged to move their funds to new secure addresses to protect against future quantum computing threats. Coins that remain unmoved after this transition could be considered lost.

This process could provide new insight into how many of Satoshi’s coins are still accessible, as any active owner would likely move their holdings to the updated system. Dormant wallets that do not participate may indicate permanently lost Bitcoin.

Despite concerns about quantum computing, Adam Back emphasized that there is still plenty of time to prepare. He suggested that a real quantum threat to Bitcoin’s cryptography is likely at least 20 years away, giving developers enough time to implement secure solutions.

Researchers are already working on quantum-resistant technologies, including hash-based signature systems that could replace current cryptographic methods like ECDSA and Schnorr signatures.

Overall, while the quantum threat is still distant, the transition to a post-quantum Bitcoin network could not only improve security but also uncover long-standing mysteries about Satoshi’s holdings.

Crypto governance company, Tally, processed more than $1 billion in payments, served more than a million users, helped secure over $80 billion in protocol assets, completed a 60-day US ICO registration process, and then decided to kill the token sale and shut down anyway.

The company stated that the market for venture-backed governance tooling does not exist at the scale needed to support the business, even after five years of operation and apparent traction.

Ethereum treasury firm Bitmine reports $3.8 billion Q1 loss in latest filing

The largest corporate ether holder posted a $3.8 billion quarterly loss as its pivot from mining to ETH accumulation continues.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies has rapidly transformed from a mining firm into a leveraged Ethereum treasury, doubling its share count in six months and raising more than $10 billion to accumulate nearly 5% of all ether.

The company now holds 4.87 million ether at an average cost of $2,206 per token, making it the largest corporate etherholder, but it reported a $3.8 billion quarterly net loss driven by fair-value accounting and derivatives losses rather than realized losses on its ETH stake.

Bitmine's operating business has largely shifted to staking, which generated almost all of its $11 million in quarterly revenue, while general and administrative expenses have soared to $75 million for the quarter, underscoring a sharp mismatch between costs and operating income.

XRP "Boring" Price Hides Strong On-Chain Signal The price of XRP may be moving sideways near $1.35, but underlying data suggests a very different story is unfolding beneath the surface.

A fresh analysis from community figure Xaif points to the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio as a key signal investors may be overlooking. Market participants often describe this metric as crypto's equivalent of a price-to-earnings ratio.

Key Points

XRP trades sideways near $1.35, but falling NVT signals stronger real usage backing its current valuation.

NVT dropped from 1,200+ to ~170, suggesting less speculation and more utility-driven demand.
