Key Takeaways (or, as I like to call ’em, the CliffsNotes for the digitally distracted):

Yesterday, during a giddy press conference that felt more like a christening of the sane than a product launch, Coinbase announced that its Borrow arm will now extend its rusty yet remarkably smooth, loan service to UK citizens. The deal is simple: lay out your Bitcoin or Ethereum-yes, those colossal stone‑like holdings-and voila, you can siphon off a handful of USDC without having to part with your investments. It’s like getting a loan from a friend and never having to realise you owe them back in the dark.

With this latest buy, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash officially crossed the 800,000 BTC mark. That’s 815,061 BTC, to be exact, because who’s counting? Oh, right, everyone. This little shopping trip cost a cool $2.54 billion, with an average price of $74,395 per Bitcoin. Fun fact: Strategy has now spent $61.56 billion on Bitcoin. That’s more than most of us spend on avocado toast in a lifetime.

Now, before you start thinking they’ve gone completely barmy and abandoned their core business, let me assure you, they’ve been quick to clarify. This isn’t a full-blown pivot, mind you, but rather a bit of early-stage tinkering-a proof of concept, if you will.

Mr. Cooker, known in the Solana circles as CookerFlips upon X, a gentleman of some reputation in the memecoin sphere, did make his appearance in ASTEROID on the seventeenth of April.
