STRC now accounts for over half of all USDh backing 👀

@Strategy is a major driver of USDh’s current 9% APY yield.

BREAKING: US Consumer Sentiment officially falls to its lowest level on record in data going back to 1952, down another -10% last month.

Consumers now see inflation rising to 4.8% over the next 12 months.

This puts the Consumer Sentiment index down -21% since February 2026, before the Iran War.

Not even the 1980s saw Consumer Sentiment this low.

The Bitcoin Staking whitepaper introduced a new model for earning yield on bitcoin.

This week we're breaking down the 7 features that define how it works and why it's built differently 🟧

[Hermetica @HermeticaFi]

A month ago, hBTC opened to the public.

Since then:

◾ 4.5% average APY
◾ 99% days had positive yield
◾ 50+ BTC earning daily yield

A strong first month.

The 4th largest economy in the world, Japan, which has been the entire world's source of liquidity for over 2 decades, is insolvent and about to destroy your portfolio.

What happened in August 2024 was a preview.

The Main Event is near.

[Bit Paine ⚡️ @BitPaine]

TLDR: they’re going to print so much fucking money

[Bitcoin for Freedom @BTC_for_Freedom]

Hard money built cathedrals, infrastructure, and multi-generational wealth. Soft money built short term thinking, debt addiction, asset bubbles, and a generation that can’t afford what their parents had on half the income. We didn’t get poorer. The money got worse.

[Zest Protocol @ZestProtocol]

$ZEST, the native token of Zest Protocol, is officially here.

$ZEST is now listed across exchanges and season 1 airdrop is live.

It's the starting point in the next chapter of Zest Protocol’s growth.

[Hermetica @HermeticaFi]

Eight weeks ago, $STRC had no on-chain presence.

Today, there is $270M of on-chain exposure. Hermetica accounts for ~2%, and growing.

@Saylor sees $1B next. We agree.

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

Strategy has acquired 24,869 BTC for ~$2.01 billion at ~$80,985 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 12.6% YTD 2026. As of 5/17/2026, we hodl 843,738 $BTC acquired for ~$63.87 billion at ~$75,700 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/y1zvePEuym

"But your BTC is locked for 6 months."

The whitepaper includes an early exit option. Request your BTC back at any time. Returned at the next Bitcoin block, ~10 min.

You forfeit remaining yield. Not principal.

wake up, neo.

Fundamentally I don't think there are enough people trying to actually change the world

[Bitflow @bitflow]

Stacks, the leading Bitcoin L2, co-founder @muneeb on what HODLMM means for the network:

[stacks.btc @Stacks]

Your BTC has two settings.

Idle: sitting in cold storage, earning nothing.

Productive: staked on Stacks, under your custody, earning real BTC from miner revenue.

That's what Bitcoin Staking on Stacks proposes.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Our 5th warning:

The bond market crisis is intensifying.

The US 10Y Note Yield is now officially above 4.55% for the first time since May 2025.

After weeks of euphoria, the market is beginning to react today.

As we have been stating for the last few weeks, the current situation in the bond market is unsustainable.

We are now above levels seen when President Trump implemented a "90-day tariff pause" in April 2025 due to a collapsing bond market.

Furthermore, the market now sees a 60%+ chance that the Fed's next move is an interest rate HIKE, with rate cuts entirely priced-out.

We expect to see 7%+ mortgages next, all as auto loan delinquencies have reached 32-year highs.

Inflation is back and higher rates are coming.
