I have known @rogerkver well for over a decade and he is one of the best human beings I’ve ever met. He is kind, trust worthy and principled in a way few are. He is the victim of a long and reprehensible lawfare campaign going back decades. Mr President (@realDonaldTrump) please bring him home and let this legendary pioneer and investor help make the USA the global leader in crypto!
Mr. President, I am an American, and I need your help. Only you, with your commitment to justice, can save me @realDonaldTrump

Excited to be partners with @APompliano in this and looking forward to the build!
Today I am announcing a $1 BILLION merger to create ProCap Financial, a bitcoin-native financial services. The company will be a publicly traded entity on Nasdaq at the conclusion of the proposed business combination between my private company ProCap BTC, LLC and Columbus Circle Capital Corp I, a publicly traded SPAC. The ticker for the publicly traded entity right now is $CCCM. As part of the business combination, I have raised over $750 million, which is the largest initial fundraise in history for a publicly-traded bitcoin treasury company. We are fortunate to have raised this capital from some of the leading institutional investors on Wall Street, along with many of the top crypto investors globally. ProCap Financial will focus on acquiring bitcoin for its balance sheet, while also developing products and services to produce revenue and profit from the bitcoin on our balance sheet over time. It is time to get to work.

So far, it looks like the biggest winner from meme coins is ETH…
31.7K $ETH has been burned in the past seven days. To put that in perspective, since the merge (231 days ago), 152K ETH total has been burned. That’s ~21% of the total burn in ~3% of the total days. This is the power of meme coins.

The #BitcoinETF is the biggest launch of an ETF in History. ...and they said there'd be no demand. ETFs are one of the few things blockchain.com isn't involved in and I'm far from an expert; but I've watched the decade long journey to this point with interest Perhaps the most interesting thing is the broad array of firms that have launched a product - the biggest tradfi players (Blackrock), the crypto native + tradfi JVs (Galaxy/Invesco) and then the truly crypto natives like Greyscale and Bitwise This is how crypto goes forward - a big, diverse tent. I'm excited to keep building in the space and keep learning. It's still yearly days in the creation of a whole new financial system and I can't wait to see where we are in another ten years. @photomatt

As his emails to lawyers before he renounced indicate, he wanted to pay all taxes due and paid everything his tax advisors told him too.
