Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski has announced that the company will roll out its non-custodial Bitcoin and stablecoin wallet in Q3 2025. This new product called the Rumble Wallet aims to rival Coinbase Wallet and is being developed in partnership with Tether. Pavlovski said the wallet will help creators monetize more effectively especially in global markets and hinted it may support Tether Gold.

The platform known for supporting free speech and independent creators is doubling down on crypto. Tether invested $775 million in Rumble in late 2024 and the company began acquiring Bitcoin in March. Rumble now holds 210 BTC worth nearly $22 million signaling a strong commitment to digital assets and decentralization.

Rumble reported better than expected Q1 2025 earnings with revenue up 34% year over year to $23.7 million. Monthly active users stood at 59 million and its stock rose 2.37% in after-hours trading. The wallet launch comes as mobile crypto wallet usage hits record highs.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is pushing deeper into Bitcoin with a fresh $21.25 million bond issue aimed entirely at buying more of the cryptocurrency. The firm announced on May 9 that all proceeds from its latest “0% Ordinary Bonds” will go directly into expanding its Bitcoin holdings

Zero-coupon bonds like these offer no interest and are usually sold at a discount with full value paid at maturity. The move follows a massive Bitcoin purchase earlier this week where Metaplanet bought 555 BTC for $53.4 million. The company now holds 5,555 BTC worth over $480 million making it the largest public Bitcoin holder in Asia and the 11th largest globally

Metaplanet’s bold crypto strategy has boosted its stock 1600 percent over the past year. The firm is also expanding into the US with a Florida-based subsidiary aiming to raise $250 million for more Bitcoin buys. Investors see this as a strong vote of confidence in the future of crypto

American fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake will begin accepting Bitcoin at all locations starting May 16 marking a major leap in crypto adoption across the restaurant industry. The company made the announcement on X on May 9 to over 100 million customers and signed off as Steaktoshi showing strong support for the digital currency.

The move follows weeks of teasing by the brand through Bitcoin-themed marketing campaigns and promotions featuring Tesla giveaways. Crypto advocates like Jack Dorsey quickly backed the idea when the chain first hinted at it in March asking fans whether it should accept Bitcoin.

This shift puts Steak ‘n Shake alongside crypto-friendly brands like Chipotle Subway and Burger King. Few fast food chains have committed to full-scale cryptocurrency payments making this a bold and exciting move. As more brands enter the crypto space Steak ‘n Shake now stands out as a pioneer in making digital payments a reality for millions of fast food lovers.

Bitcoin can be intimidating to navigate—whether you’re just starting out, managing significant personal holdings, a high net worth individual or representing a company exploring balance sheet allocation. Its self-sovereign nature is in complete contrast with the modern world, placing full responsibility for asset protection on the individual(s). This makes operational security essential. From configuring secure wallets and eliminating single points of failure to planning for inheritance, professional consultants offer tailored support for a wide range of needs.

In a space grounded in the principle of “don’t trust, verify,” that same skepticism should extend to advisory…
