📉 Trump Media Accumulates Nearly $480 Million in Unrealized Bitcoin Losses Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, is carrying nearly $480 million in unrealized losses on its Bitcoin treasury. The company bought BTC heavily near the cycle highs (estimated average price between $108,500 and $118,500 per BTC). It currently holds around 6,889 BTC, valued at approximately $533 million. Recent Developments In recent weeks, TMTG-linked wallets transferred 2,650 BTC (worth $205 million) to Crypto .com. Such movements typically precede sales, hedging, or restructuring. In Q1 2026, accounting losses from Bitcoin and other digital assets already had a significant impact: the company reported a net loss of over $406 million, much of which came from mark-to-market adjustments. Strategy Context TMTG adopted an aggressive “Bitcoin treasury” approach in 2025, raising over $2.5 billion to buy BTC and position itself as a “crypto-heavy” company. The move occurred when Bitcoin was trading near its all-time highs. Although the losses are unrealized (the majority of the position hasn’t been sold yet), the accounting impact is real and has weighed heavily on the company’s financial results.

📈 XRP Ledger Records 4,300 New Wallets in 24 Hours: The Largest Surge of the Year The XRP Ledger (XRPL) network has experienced a significant increase in activity: exactly 4,300 new wallets were created in the last 24 hours. This marks the fourth-largest daily increase recorded in all of 2026. This data is especially relevant as ripple:native remains around $1.35 - $1.37, within a prolonged sideways range between $1.30 and $1.40. What Does This Growth Mean? It reflects renewed interest in the network from new users. It coincides with a period of discreet accumulation: new buyers are entering while many long-term holders show fatigue after months of sideways movement. Historically, spikes in wallet creation have preceded periods of higher network activity. However, for this surge to translate into a sustained bullish move, it will be crucial to see increased volume and a clear breakout above the $1.40 resistance level. Current Context Despite XRPL’s fundamental advances (RWA tokenization and institutional adoption), the price continues to consolidate. This increase in wallets could be an early signal that new participants are entering at current levels.

🎉 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! The Pizzas That Changed History Today, May 22, we celebrate one of Bitcoin’s most iconic moments: Bitcoin Pizza Day. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John’s pizzas. At the time, they were worth just $41. Today, that amount would be worth hundreds of millions. But beyond the meme, that transaction was historic: it was the first real-world purchase made with Bitcoin. Laszlo wasn’t just an enthusiastic user. He was one of the project’s earliest key developers: a pioneer in GPU mining and a direct collaborator with Satoshi Nakamoto during Bitcoin’s first months. His decision to use Bitcoin for something ordinary proved that the cypherpunk idea could actually work as real money. Today, the community celebrates with pizzas bought using BTC, events, and memes. Because Pizza Day isn’t just nostalgia… it’s a reminder that Bitcoin was always meant to be used. Happy Pizza Day everyone!
