The memecoin news shaking Washington this week is a formal Senate investigation into an April 25 conference at Mar-a-Lago where attendance is restricted to the top 297 TRUMP token holders and the top 29 receive VIP access to the president, with Senators Warren, Schiff, and Blumenthal sending a letter to Fight LLC demanding documents and answers by April 21. Summary The Senate Banking Committee Democrats sent their letter on April 8, raising concerns that event promoters are promising access to Trump on a day he may not actually attend because the White House Correspondents Association dinner is also scheduled for April 25 in Washington DC, creating an obvious scheduling conflict between the two competing commitments.

The Trump family and its partners have earned more than $320 million in trading fees since the TRUMP memecoin launched in January 2025, and a Bloomberg analysis found that 19 of the top 25 memecoin holders are likely foreign nationals, with Justin Sun, a Chinese crypto entrepreneur who previously faced SEC fraud allegations, holding the top position. The investigation adds direct pressure to the CLARITY Act negotiations because Senate Democrats have made ethics provisions targeting government officials' crypto holdings a non-negotiable condition for their votes, and the memecoin dinner is now the sharpest available illustration of why they consider those provisions essential. The senators wrote directly that "Congress must also take steps to prohibit and prevent these egregious conflicts of interest," framing the investigation as part of a broader inquiry into whether Trump is using the presidency for personal crypto profit.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have touched down in Australia for a four-day visit centered on mental health awareness, community resilience, and support for military veterans and their families. The couple arrived in Melbourne on a commercial flight from Los Angeles, marking their first return to the country since 2018.The royal pair kicked off their itinerary with a stop at a children's hospital in Melbourne, followed by Meghan's solo visit to a women's domestic violence shelter. Their packed schedule includes meetings with military veterans in the nation's capital, Canberra, a mental health summit back in Melbourne, and sporting engagements featuring sailing and rugby events in Sydney to close out the trip.This visit carries a noticeably different tone compared to their celebrated 2018 tour, during which they announced Meghan's first pregnancy and were greeted by enthusiastic crowds and formal receptions. This time around, the couple arrived quietly with minimal fanfare, though public interest remains high in a country where King Charles III serves as head of state amid ongoing republican sentiment among a portion of the population.Unlike their previous trip as working royals, the Sussexes are funding their own travel costs. However, reports that Australian taxpayers may be covering some associated policing expenses prompted a public protest petition that gathered over 45,000 signatures.The visit also has a commercial dimension. After the official engagements wrap up, Meghan is staying on to host a luxury weekend wellness retreat at a beachside Sydney hotel. The event, featuring yoga, manifestation sessions, and sound healing, is priced from approximately A$2,699 per person.Harry and Meghan stepped away from royal duties in 2020, citing concerns over media intrusion and a desire for financial independence, and have since been based in

Bitcoin Price Skyrockets 6% Near $75,000 as Short Liquidations Accelerate


Bitcoin price surged more than 5% in the evening of April 13, climbing near the $75,000 level and marking its strongest intraday move in a couple weeks as traders reacted to a mix of macro pressure and technical positioning.

The rally follows several days of choppy trading, with bitcoin price holding a tight range between roughly $68,000 support and $75,000 resistance amid geopolitical tension tied to U.S.–Iran developments over the last several weeks.

Earlier in the week, the asset slipped toward $70,000 after the collapse of diplomatic talks and a U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, which drove oil prices higher and weighed on risk assets.

The move also comes as broader markets remain under strain. Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel following escalating tensions in the Middle East, while expectations for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts have diminished amid persistent inflation. Despite these headwinds, bitcoin has shown resilience, holding above $70,000 for most of the past week.

Bitcoin price and Strategy’s accumulation

Bitcoin price started the day trading near $70,000 and skyrocketed into Monday’s close. Analysts had flagged a large cluster of leveraged short positions above the $72,000–$73,500 range, creating conditions for a rapid upside move once resistance levels broke. As prices pushed higher through that band, liquidations accelerated the rally, sending bitcoin price toward the top of its multi-week range.

On top of this, Strategy’s STRC at-the-market (ATM) program reached a new milestone on April 13, 2026, as its preferred stock recorded over $1 billion in single-day trading volume, with all activity occurring above the $100 par value required to trigger share issuance.

This enabled the company to run its ATM program at full capacity throughout the session.

The Al models at the frontier of performance are also the least transparent about how they are built and tested, according to Stanford HAI's 2026 Al Index released Monday, which found that companies are sharing progressively less about training data and benchmark performance even as their models become more powerful and more widely deployed. Summary Stanford's report documents that Al companies are sharing less information about how their models are trained, and that independent testing sometimes contradicts what companies report; "a lot of companies are not releasing how their models do in certain benchmarks, particularly the responsible-Al benchmarks," the report states, citing growing opacity at the exact moment when accountability matters most. The benchmarks designed to measure Al progress are themselves failing: some are poorly constructed, with a popular math benchmark carrying a 42 percent error rate, while others can be gamed by models trained on the benchmark test data itself, meaning strong scores do not reliably indicate stronger or safer models in real-world deployment. US trust in the government to regulate Al sits at just 31 percent, the lowest of any country surveyed in the index; globally, the EU is trusted more than either the US or China to regulate Al effectively, a finding that reflects both the EU AI Act's full enforcement in January 2026 and the absence of a comparable federal framework in the US.

SiliconAngle reported that the 2026 index documents a world where Al adoption is accelerating at historic speed while "public trust in Al oversight and transparency hits new lows." The two trends are directly related: as Al tools reach more than half the global population and generate $172 billion in annual consumer value in the US alone,

Strategy Buys $1 Billion in Bitcoin, Raises Holdings to 780,897 BTC

Strategy has once again expanded its Bitcoin treasury, disclosing that it acquired 13,927 $BTC for about $1.00 billion at an average price of roughly $71,902 per coin. In the same filing, the company said it had achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 5.6% for 2026 and that, as of April 12, 2026, it held 780,897 $BTC in total. Strategy said those holdings were accumulated for approximately $59.02 billion at an average purchase price of $75,577 per Bitcoin.

The announcement, made through the company’s April 13, 2026 Form 8-K, shows just how central Bitcoin remains to Strategy’s corporate identity and capital allocation approach. Rather than treating Bitcoin as a side bet or a short-term treasury experiment, the company continues to position it as a core reserve asset, financing fresh purchases through its ongoing market activities and then folding those acquisitions into a rapidly growing balance sheet position. The filing makes clear that the latest Bitcoin buys were funded with proceeds from the sale of shares under Strategy’s at-the-market offering program.

The numbers are large even by Strategy’s own standards. A single weekly purchase of 13,927 $BTC would be headline-worthy for nearly any other public company, but for Strategy it now reads as part of a familiar pattern: raise capital, convert a significant portion into Bitcoin, then disclose the new position in a formal SEC filing. In this latest update, Strategy also reported that the average purchase price was inclusive of fees and expenses, giving investors a clearer picture of the all-in cost of the acquisition.

Growing Bitcoin Accumulation

The company’s total holding of 780,897 $BTC is especially notable because it places Strategy’s Bitcoin position on a scale that few public-market balance sheets can match. At the same time, the filing shows that the company is still actively using its at-the-market financing stru

Japan's central bank cools rate hike expectations, removing a key risk for bitcoin's rally


Bitcoin's breakout past $74,000 on Monday got a helping hand from Japan.

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda cooled expectations for an interest rate hike at the upcoming April 28 policy meeting, signaling a more cautious stance amid uncertainty over how the Iran war will affect Japan's economy.

Such decisions have shown to spillover to the crypto market in previous years. On August 5, 2024, a surprise BOJ rate hike triggered a yen carry trade unwind that crashed bitcoin from $64,000 to $49,000 in 48 hours.

The carry trade, where investors borrow cheaply in yen and deploy into higher-yielding assets including crypto, had become one of the largest sources of leveraged risk-asset exposure globally. A yen unwind tends to cause quick sell-offs in risk assets, with bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies the first to be hit.

But Ueda just signaled that trade stays intact for at least another month. Japan's 20-year bond auction on Tuesday drew its strongest demand since 2019, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 4.82 against a 12-month average of 3.27, confirming that institutional capital agrees the hiking cycle is pausing.

Twenty-year yields, near their highest since 1997, fell nine basis points after the auction.

A dovish BOJ keeps the yen weak, currently near 160 against the dollar. A weak yen keeps carry trade funding cheap. Cheap carry funding supports leveraged positions across risk assets, including the perpetual futures markets where bitcoin's rally is being built.

Data from last week showed $2.1 billion in new bitcoin open interest and $2.2 billion in ether open interest in 24 hours following the ceasefire, with coin-denominated OI confirming net new longs. Some portion of that positioning maybe funded, directly or indirectly, by the same yen liquidity that Ueda just preserved.
