Trump Media & Technology Group is weighing a plan to spin off Truth Social into a separate publicly traded company, based on reports released this week. The move is being discussed as the company faces mounting losses tied in part to digital asset holdings. Talks are ongoing, and no final agreement has been signed. Trump’s Truth Social Could Stand On Its Own According to reports , the company is considering distributing shares of a new Truth Social entity to existing investors. That standalone company could later merge with a special purpose acquisition company, giving it its own stock listing. The discussions are said to be active but remain subject to board and shareholder approval. Truth Social has served as the main social platform linked to US President Donald Trump. A spin-off would separate it from the broader corporate structure, which has recently shifted direction. By placing the platform in its own vehicle, the company could allow investors to assess the social medi...

Bitcoin’s long-term structure has always been examined through the perspective of its halving cycle, and one crypto pundit believes the pattern is pointing to a clear price bottom.  The analysis centers on a recurring time-based rhythm tied to each halving event, and it proposes a specific window for when accumulation could begin again.

Tether, the company behind the world’s most widely used stablecoin, USDT, has revealed that it has frozen approximately $4.2 billion worth of its tokens tied to suspected illicit activity, with the majority of those actions taking place over the past three years.  Tether Expands Crackdown On Criminal Use Of USDT Tether said that just this week, it assisted the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in freezing nearly $61 million in USDT connected to so‑called “pig‑butchering” scams — a type of fraud in which criminals build personal relationships with victims before persuading them to invest in fake cryptocurrency schemes. That latest action brought the total value of frozen USDT linked to alleged illicit activity to $4.2 billion. Of that amount, $3.5 billion has been blocked since 2023 alone, a Tether spokesperson said to Reuters in emailed comments late Thursday. Earlier in the week, Tether Chief Executive Officer Paolo Ardoino highlighted the company’s recent cooperation with US a...
