The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) confirmed that national banks and federal savings associations can trade cryptocurrencies on behalf of customers and outsource certain crypto activities, like custody and execution services, to third parties, provided they comply with relevant laws and risk management practices. Acting Comptroller Rodney Hood emphasized that banks can offer broader crypto custody services, including tax and reporting, and partner with sub-custodians. This move, part of a broader shift under the Trump administration to ease crypto restrictions, has been welcomed by the industry as a step toward clearer regulatory guidance and integration of digital assets into traditional banking.

Steak ‘n Shake has announced it will begin accepting Bitcoin at all locations starting May 16, marking a major step in mainstream crypto adoption. The fast food chain teased the move in March, gaining attention from Bitcoin supporters like Jack Dorsey, and has since ramped up Bitcoin-themed marketing. With this move, Steak ‘n Shake joins other fast food giants like Chipotle, Subway, and McDonald’s in embracing crypto payments, a trend that began with the historic 2010 Bitcoin Pizza Day when 10,000 BTC bought two pizzas.

Richard Byworth, partner at Syz Capital and adviser at Jan3, believes Michael Saylor’s company Strategy should ramp up its Bitcoin accumulation by acquiring cash-rich firms and converting their reserves into Bitcoin, rather than relying on over-the-counter purchases. He suggests that as Bitcoin’s supply on exchanges dwindles, Strategy could benefit shareholders by aggressively boosting its multiple of Net Asset Value (mNAV), even if it impacts market prices. Byworth points to Japan’s “zombie companies” with idle cash as potential acquisition targets, drawing parallels to Metaplanet’s recent moves. At the time of writing, Strategy holds 553,555 BTC, worth around $52.48 billion.

Legendary investor Ray Dalio warned that the global monetary system is on the brink of collapse, accelerated by U.S. tariff policies under the Trump administration. In a recent post, he said these trade tensions are driving deglobalization, damaging international cooperation, and pushing countries—especially China and the U.S.—to reduce economic interdependence and seek alternatives. Dalio believes America’s role as the world’s top consumer and debt issuer is unsustainable, and nations are likely to bypass the dollar by forming new trade networks and turning to hard assets like Bitcoin and gold. He urged the U.S. to address its debt and trade imbalances through coordinated efforts rather than conflict, warning that continued volatility could lead to irreversible consequences.
