Elon Musk accused Senator Elizabeth Warren of backing SBF’s parents, while Warren criticised his D.O.G.E involvement, citing conflicts of interest. Musk defended D.O.G.E, arguing it could curb inflation by cutting government waste. Is this political clash necessary, or just another distraction in crypto debates?

According to Cointelegraph, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet anticipates achieving its first consolidated operating profit in seven years, following its strategic addition of Bitcoin to its balance sheet. On December 18, the company projected revenue of 890 million Japanese yen ($5.8 million) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, a significant increase from the 261 million Japanese yen recorded in the previous fiscal year. The firm expects an operating profit of 270 million Japanese yen, a turnaround from the 468 million Japanese yen in losses reported last year. Metaplanet attributes a substantial portion of this revenue to its Bitcoin put options sales, which have generated 520 million Japanese yen. The company stated that alongside the robust performance of its hotel business, it is on track to record a consolidated operating profit for the first time since fiscal year 2017. Metaplanet, a publicly traded Tokyo-based investment firm, made a significant shift towards Bitcoin in April, adopting it as a treasury asset to hedge against currency depreciation. The firm also owns and operates the Royal Oak Hotel in Tokyo’s Gotanda district through its subsidiary, Wen Tokyo Co. In a recent investor disclosure, Metaplanet announced the establishment of "Bitcoin accumulation and management" as a formal business line. This initiative will involve employing loans, equity, convertible bonds, and other financial instruments to efficiently purchase and hold Bitcoin. The company plans to continue utilizing put option sales as a key revenue driver. Put options are contracts that allow the owner to sell an underlying asset at a pre-agreed value, known as the "strike price," to the issuer, Metaplanet in this case. This strategy enables investors to secure a minimum selling price for an asset to mitigate potential losses, while Metaplanet earns a premium for each contract sold. Metaplanet also aims to generate revenue from Bitcoin-related marketing activities through its newly acquired license to operate a Japanese version of Bitcoin Magazine. The firm is the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia, following Boyaa Interactive, with a holding of 1,142 Bitcoin valued at approximately $119.4 million. On December 16, Metaplanet announced its fourth bond issuance, valued at just under 4.5 billion Japanese yen ($30 million), to accumulate more Bitcoin, alongside plans for a 5 billion Japanese yen private placement ordinary bond issuance.

对冲基金和风投机构 Pantera Capital 创始人兼执行合伙人 Dan Morehead 近日在 CNBC 《Fast Money》节目中讨论了美国加密货币采用的演变格局以及未来一年的潜在变化。在采访中，Morehead 谈到了当选总统特朗普建立战略比特币储备的提议，并表示强烈支持这一举措。他说：“我认为这实际上是一件非常重要的事情。当你本身是世界储备货币时，就不需要存其他货币。” Morehead 详细阐述了美国储备的现状，他指出：“美国没有其他货币。它储存了 6000 亿美元的黄金，这是一个惊人的数额。这相当于 1100 万年美国工人的工资，所以这有点疯狂。” 他主张向数字资产转型，并称：“转向数字黄金。比特币要好得多，所以我认为这完全合理。”在强调政府现有持有量时，Morehead 提到：“美国已经拥有全球 1%的比特币。保持这一比例，增加这一比例。所以我认为这确实是一项非常好的政策。有几个国家已经拥有比特币。如果美国能领先，那就太好了。”

11月初特朗普获胜后BTC大涨是币供应量加速增长的领先指标。为了应对特朗普，每个主要经济集团/国家都必须立即做出反应，而反应是贬值货币并增加金融抑制。

韩国总统尹锡悦因戒严令风波遭国会弹劾，目前总统职务已被暂停。就在尹锡悦四面楚歌之际，他的亲信亦成为执法部门的目标。 据韩国媒体报道，首尔南部地方检察厅虚拟资产犯罪联合搜查团 17 日上午逮捕法号“建进法师”（Geon Jin）的 64 岁男子全成裴（Jeon Seong-bae），并搜查其住所。 报道指，全成裴涉嫌在 2018 年地方选举期间，涉嫌以“协助选举”为由，收受多名政客的非法政治资金，触犯政治资金法等罪名，而这案是在检方侦查另一宗案件时意外揭露的，但相关报道并未有交代全成裴所涉及的案件是否与尹锡悦有关。（香港 01）
