May 7—American Bitcoin (ABTC), a Bitcoin mining firm backed by Eric Trump (son of former President Donald Trump), released its latest financial report Tuesday. The company posted a loss for the second straight quarter, but the shortfall narrowed from the prior period thanks to growth in its Bitcoin mining revenue. ABTC improved its financial performance amid the current crypto market downturn by boosting mining operational efficiency, reports show. Still, the firm’s results remain heavily tied to Bitcoin’s price swings. Previously, ABTC saw a sharp stock price drop amid a crypto market correction. In Q4 2023, ABTC reported a loss of roughly $59 million, with its stock price plunging ~90% from its peak. Founded by Hut 8 with support from Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., ABTC is viewed as a key piece of the Trump family’s crypto business.

May 7th – White House Digital Asset Advisor Patrick Witt announced Thursday that the Trump administration is urging Congress to pass the **Digital Asset Market Clarity Act** (Clarity Act)—a crypto market structure bill—by July 4th, calling it the "best birthday present" for the U.S.’s 250th anniversary. Witt noted the Senate Banking Committee is expected to advance the legislation this month, with four workweeks in June allocated for Senate voting before it moves to the House for a vote. He also confirmed the previously contentious stablecoin yield provision has been compromised. Under the latest proposal, stablecoin issuers will be barred from offering interest comparable to bank deposits but may implement reward mechanisms tied to consumer behavior. Witt emphasized the framework emerged from joint negotiations between the White House, banks, and the crypto industry, stating: "The crypto industry isn’t happy, and banks aren’t happy either—but when both sides are nearly unhappy,

On May 7, the Pentagon awarded a $500 million contract to Scale AI—a Meta Platforms-backed firm (META.O)—to support data processing and decision-making, marking the latest step by the U.S. military to ramp up its reliance on artificial intelligence. The new contract is five times the size of the $100 million deal the company secured in September 2023. Scale AI’s public sector chief, Dan Tadross, said in an interview the Pentagon had “maxed out” the original contract. “I think this contract overall underscores the department’s urgent push to adopt this technology,” Tadross stated. Additionally, the San Francisco-based firm has participated in the Defense Innovation Unit’s “Thunderforge” program (focused on integrating AI into military planning and operations) and Trump’s “Golden Dome” homeland defense architecture.

May 7 — As the Iran conflict continues driving up oil prices and straining supply chains, multiple Federal Reserve officials have warned U.S. inflation risks are reemerging. Future interest rates may need to stay elevated for an extended period, with potential for further hikes. St. Louis Fed President Mester said policy risks have clearly tilted toward inflation. Rates may need to hold steady “for a period of time” and could be raised further if needed. He noted rising prices of key industrial inputs like aluminum, helium and diesel are fueling broader cost pressures. Chicago Fed President Evans warned sustained high oil prices over several months would gradually hit global supply chains, potentially replicating the pandemic-era inflation transmission path. He said it’s not yet “stagflation,” but the situation would grow “increasingly tense” if it persists. Data shows U.S. average gasoline prices have climbed above $4.50 a gallon, while the New York Fed’s Global Supply Chain
