Hey hamsters, from acquisition to conviction, today's episode of Hamster News has a full wheel of stories. Join us as we dive into an alltime high opening his latest acquisition, the results of the CEO of Safe Moon's trial, and more. [Music] Starting off strong, Bitcoin hit a new record which exceeded the coin's last all-time high in January when American President Donald Trump was inaugurated. The new $111,861 valuation current at the time of production of this episode is now being linked to factors including softy US inflation and lessening America China tensions among other happenings. Good news everyone. At the same time in its biggest acquisition to date, OpenAI is buying IO, a hardware startup founded by highly famous Apple designer Sir Johnny IV for $6.4 billion.
IV, who is likely best known for being the key architect of the iPhone, will take on major design and creative responsibilities at Open EI in a partnership that has been 2 years in the making. The GL comes down in New York as a jury finds former Safeoon CEO Braden John Carin guilty of three felony charges, conspiracy to defraud the US, money laundering, and wire fraud.
Justice came quick as the verdict was made after just a two week trial and less than a day of jury deliberation. Okay. The crackdown continues as the US SEC files a lawsuit against Unicin and three of its exacts. The SEC alleges Uniccoin misled investors about its finances, overstating its runaway and falsely claiming its tokens were SEC registered. Yikes. In a more positive twist, the Texas House of Representatives passed the SB21 bill to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state. The bill passed with a 10142 vote and now goes to Governor Greg Abbott for approval of Vetto. This means if signed, the Texas controller could establish the reserve and invest in select cryptos.
Interesting. That's all for today. Thanks for watching. Subscribe and remember hamsters are power. One for all and dull for one. Bye..
