CLARITY Act Dropped From Senate Schedule: Crypto’s Biggest Bill to Miss Its Last Chance?

The Senate Banking Committee’s schedule for the week of April 20 contains one item: a nomination hearing for Federal Reserve Chairman candidate Kevin Warsh. The CLARITY Act is absent.

Chairman Tim Scott, who controls the committee calendar, has not announced a markup date for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act despite the Senate returning from Easter recess on April 13 and broad expectations that a committee vote would be called this month.

Three Hurdles Remain

Speaking on Fox Business, Scott cited three unresolved issues: the stablecoin rewards dispute between banks and crypto firms, outstanding DeFi provisions, and the need to align all Republican committee members. He indicated each issue could take another two weeks to resolve.

Senator Thom Tillis is expected to release final compromise language on stablecoin yield this week, which would represent the last draft text needed before Scott can schedule a markup.

The proposed framework bans passive yield on stablecoin balances while permitting activity-based rewards tied to transactions and platform engagement. Banks have pushed back on the draft. Tillis told Politico he remains open to further changes.

The May Deadline

The bill faces a structural time constraint. Senator Bernie Moreno has stated publicly that failure to reach the Senate floor by May effectively shelves the legislation for the rest of 2026 as midterm election politics consume the congressional calendar. Galaxy Research has calculated only 18 working weeks remain before the October midterm recess.

Even after a successful committee markup, the bill requires a 60-vote Senate floor threshold, reconciliation with the Senate Agriculture Committee version, reconciliation with the

A new class of crypto treasury companies is forming around Strategy’s high-yield stock


A new class of crypto treasury companies is emerging around Strategy’s high-yield stock, STRC, drawing in firms looking to capture both exposure to bitcoin and additional income.

STRC is a security issued by Strategy, the largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin, as a funding vehicle to support its ongoing bitcoin accumulation strategy. The company raises capital by offering investors an annualized dividend of 11.5%, paid monthly in cash, with proceeds primarily used to purchase BTC.

Such is the stock’s popularity that it registered a record-breaking trading volume on Tuesday, with more than $1.6 billion in shares changing hands.

STRC, the new base layer

As trading volumes surge, a growing number of companies and decentralized finance protocols are accumulating STRC to capture its yield while gaining indirect exposure to bitcoin.

STRC is now being used as a base layer for new financial products that add leverage, tokenization and structured yield.

Saturn Credit, a bitcoin-backed yield platform, accumulated $15 million in STRC within six days of launch. Apyx, an onchain credit protocol, has built a position of 800,000 shares after purchasing an additional 200,000 STRC, with plans to become one of the largest holders.

BitStrategy is taking a similar approach. Co-founder and Head of US Ryan McGinnis said the firm aims to accumulate Strategy securities, with the long-term goal of becoming the world's largest Strategy shareholder.

On-chain, nearly $200 million in tokenized STRC now exists on Ethereum, with close to $100 million trading on Pendle. Pendle is a decentralized finance platform that allows users to trade and separate yield from underlying assets, creating markets for future income streams.

Ex-dividend date pushes STRC below par value

The Bitcoin network has formally passed the halfway mark in its four-year march to the 2028 halving as of April 15, 2026. Since the fourth halving happened at block 840,000 in April 2024, around 104,400 blocks have been added to the blockchain, which is 50% of the 210,000-block cycle needed to trigger the next reward decrease. The network is maintaining a very steady pace of around 144 blocks per day, so the countdown to the fifth halving at block 1,050,000 is now firmly set. This is currently expected to happen between February and May of 2028.As "digital gold," the basic operations of this event are essential to Bitcoin's value proposition since they automatically impose a limited supply cap of 21 million BTC. When the 2028 mark is reached, the block reward given to miners will fall from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC, therefore lowering daily output from around 450 BTC to 225 BTC. Historically, these halves in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 have been major catalysts for price increase as the abrupt drop in fresh supply frequently conflicts with growing retail and institutional demand.When the network reaches this 2028 threshold, around 93.75% of the entire Bitcoin supply will have been mined, therefore aggravating the asset's scarcity. This shift will put more emphasis on the long-term viability of the network's security as miners grow to depend more on transaction fees than on block subsidies for their income. Although experts disagree on the precise date because of the block-dependent character of the protocol, the 50% milestone attained now confirms that the "halving cycle" remains the pulse of the worldwide cryptocurrency market.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncertain times.
