Strategy Inc. CEO Phong Le somewhat pushed back Tuesday against the wave of criticism that followed the company’s first Bitcoin sale since 2022, telling CNBC’s Power Lunch that the move was a deliberate, limited exercise designed to signal operational flexibility — not a philosophical reversal. “We wanted to inoculate the market and we wanted to test our processes,” Le said in what the network described as a first-time interview. “We learned that everything works.” Between May 26 and May 31, Strategy sold 32 Bitcoin for approximately $2.5 million at an average price of $77,135 per coin — a transaction that,…

To call the UK from the US, dial 011 + 44 + the local number (drop the leading 0). Whether you’re calling England, Scotland, Wales, or London specifically, the country code is always 44. International phone calls can quickly get expensive, so it pays to get the sequence right on your first attempt. While online apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Nextiva provide strong voice over IP choices over a data connection, physically dialing a traditional UK number from an American phone line requires a specific international sequence. This guide outlines exactly how to dial the UK, separates city area codes…

Visa and Mastercard $38B Swipe Fee Settlement Moves Forward A federal judge has granted preliminary approval to a revised $38 billion settlement between Visa, Mastercard, and more than 12 million U.S. merchants, bringing a two-decade legal battle over credit card swipe fees one step closer to an end.

The latest $38 billion settlement is significantly larger than a previous $30 billion agreement that was rejected by the courts in 2024. Judge Brian Cogan called the revised…

XRP is struggling around $1.15 as fear and uncertainty define the current market environment, and holders search for evidence that the current level represents support rather than a temporary pause before further decline. The price is under pressure — and a CryptoQuant analyst has identified a derivatives reset that occurred during the latest sell-off that reveals a sharp divergence between two of the largest XRP trading venues in the world. Related Reading The sell-off triggered a forced deleveraging event on Bybit that the data makes impossible to dismiss. XRP open interest on Bybit fell to approximately $181 million — its…

Like most traders, I was obsessed with day trading at the start of my career, it’s what I studied, it’s how I traded, it was how I lived. However, I quickly discovered that something was wrong. I just couldn’t seem to make any money trading this way. It was stressful, time-consuming, difficult and even maddening at times. I would make money on a trade and then give it right back.
