Rise’n’Crypto Is the US government making a 'huge strategic mistake' selling Bitcoin?
Bitcoin had a quiet start to the week after a historic monthly close, but only when it came to price action. Beyond that, plenty is happening. The big talking point of the past 24 hours is the US government moving almost 20,000 BTC to Coinbase Prime and possibly selling a portion of it. This drew criticism and reignited a debate over whether the US should be selling any Bitcoin. Also, while on Bitcoin, Michael Saylor delivered his pitch to the Microsoft board and shared the video and the pitch deck. Finally, the co-creator of Meta's stablecoin project, Diem, opens up about how it didn't just die, it was killed.
