Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.
Grab a coffee to read what experts say about Bitcoin (BTC), gold, and silver, three safe-haven assets that could offer traders and investors a hedge against fiat debasement. Comments come amid the recent fallout between Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, and President Donald Trump, the most powerful man in the world.
Crypto News of the Day: Robert Kiyosaki Says Silver to 2X in 2025
The fallout between President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk triggered nearly $1 billion in crypto liquidations. Amid the public fights and meltdowns, stocks are red and the crypto market is bleeding.
Finance author Robert Kiyosaki has warned about a looming economic collapse. The renowned author urged investors to abandon “fake money” and pivot into tangible assets like silver, gold, and Bitcoin.
“WORDS of a LOSER: ‘I would have…I could have…I should have.’ For years, I have been recommending buying gold, silver, Bitcoin…Please do not be a loser saying “I would have, I should have, I could have.” Owning gold, silver, and Bitcoin is better than being a loser…saving fake money,” wrote Kiyosaki.
According to Kiyosaki, silver is the most compelling opportunity in 2025 and could 2X within the year to reach $70. Notably, Silver was trading for $36.20 as of this writing.
This renewed urgency comes alongside a broader forecast of financial turmoil. A recent US Crypto News publication indicated Kiyosaki was predicting a chaotic stock market crash. As BeInCrypto reported, Kiyosaki said the biggest crash in history is imminent and will extend through this summer.
However, Kiyosaki remains optimistic for those willing to act, pointing to silver’s 60% discount from its all-time high and emphasizing physical ownership.
As of this writing, gold has topped $3,350 per ounce, and Bitcoin has surged past $104,000, nearing new highs. Analysts say silver’s underperformance relative to gold, with the gold-to-silver ratio above 100, signals it may be undervalued.
Strategy and Yuta Logistics Tap Billions in Stock Deals to Expand Bitcoin Reserves
Meanwhile, Bitcoin accumulation is accelerating. Two publicly listed firms, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and Yuta Logistics, unveiled plans to acquire billions in BTC through stock-based fundraising.
MicroStrategy, known for its aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy, priced its IPO of Series A perpetual preferred shares (“STRD Stock”) at $85 per share on June 5, 2025. The offering comprises 11,764,700 STRD shares, with a 10.00% annual dividend rate, expected to raise approximately $979.7 million in net proceeds.
According to its press release, Strategy plans to use the funds for “general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin.” The STRD shares come with non-cumulative, cash-only dividends and may be redeemed under certain conditions.
Strategy noted that the liquidation preference per share will initially be $100 but can adjust daily based on trading activity. Settlement is expected on June 10, pending customary closing conditions.
“Bitcoin is the Future—and the Opportunity for Everyone,” MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor reaffirmed on X.
Meanwhile, Yuta Logistics (US: RITR) is also joining the BTC accumulation race. The firm announced an agreement with a Bitcoin institutional consortium to acquire up to 15,000 BTC, worth up to $1.5 billion, by issuing common stock.
The final number of shares will depend on market factors such as Bitcoin price, company share price, and trading volume.
“Using Bitcoin as the pillar of the company’s financial strategy will help us lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the PLT ecosystem,” local media reported, citing Yuta’s Chairman Chen Jianzhong.
Together, the deals mark a major step in the institutional pivot toward Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
