The U.S. Senate Banking Committee Advances the "Financial Transparency and Regulatory Compliance Act"

April 12 — Per CoinDesk, which cited Arkham data and a report released Friday night by *The Information*, SpaceX currently holds 8,285 bitcoins in its Coinbase Prime custody account, worth approximately $603 million, while the company reported a nearly $5 billion loss in 2025. The 2025 loss marks a stark contrast to the prior year: SpaceX posted roughly $8 billion in profit in 2024, with estimated revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion. Though 2025 revenue rose to $18.5 billion, integration costs from xAI—Elon Musk’s AI firm merged into SpaceX in February this year—outpaced revenue growth. Despite the massive loss, SpaceX’s bitcoin holdings have remained unchanged. CoinDesk’s analysis of transfer records shows the latest significant movement was about four months ago, involving only a rebalancing of 614 and 1,021 bitcoins between internal SpaceX wallets. Holdings have been stable since mid-2024, previously topping $1.6 billion during bitcoin’s all-time high in October 2025. Spa

April 12th — On-chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa) reported that 12 hours ago, crypto contract whale “set 10 big targets first” (@Jason60704294) noted their $73,500 stop-loss level had not been triggered yet, adding strict discipline would be followed if hit. Overnight, BTC briefly surged to $73,790, possibly influenced by U.S.-Iran negotiations. If the whale’s strategy remains unchanged, their 2,567.49 BTC (valued at $184 million) has been liquidated, resulting in a $4.994 million loss. The stop-loss point for the remaining 38,465.22 ETH remains unknown as of press time, with an update pending.

April 12 — Iran-U.S. talks are set to continue Sunday, per an Islamabad-based reporter for Iran’s state TV (FX678)

April 12 CCTV News reports: The third round of Iran-U.S. negotiations in Islamabad concluded on April 12 local time. Iran described the talks as the "last chance" to reach a framework agreement. Since April 11, the two sides have held a packed negotiation schedule, meeting into the late hours. All parties have made the most of the temporary ceasefire window to step up bargaining. However, persistent sharp differences remain on three core issues: control of the Strait of Hormuz, unfreezing overseas assets, and uranium enrichment. Off the negotiating table, the U.S. military announced the launch of mine-sweeping operations in the Strait of Hormuz, while the Israeli Prime Minister stated Israel would continue striking Iran and its proxies. With little time left in the ceasefire window, diplomatic moves and military actions are escalating in tandem, leaving the Middle East at a crossroads between war and peace.
