Report: Bitdeer Eyes US Bitcoin Mining Rig Production as Industry Navigates Tariff Uncertainty

OpenAI&#8217;s ambitions have always been out of the ordinary. Now, in an act of 
what some view as a direct challenge to Elon Musk, the AI giant is working on 
a social media app similar to X. Currently at an internal prototype stage, the 
app might be a social feed based on OpenAI&#8217;s image generation capabilities. 
The company will also soon launch ‘A-SWE’ (Agent Software Engineer), which 
will handle all the software engineer&#8217;s tasks and take on assignments like bug 
testing, quality assurance, and bug bashing. With the horizon for AI 
applications widening, its potential will surpass being just a chatbot. This 
could make AI-based decentralized projects like MIND of Pepe and SUBBD Token 
some of the best crypto to buy now. Sam Altman’s Beef with Elon Musk Altman 
and Musk have not been on good terms since the lawsuit fiasco. Quite recently, 
Musk took a jibe at Altman by offering to purchase OpenAI for $97.4B. Altman 
made a quirky reply, putting out a counteroffer to buy Twitter instead for 
$9.74B. Their beef stems from Musk’s attempt to stop OpenAI from becoming a 
‘for-profit’ organization. OpenAI was co-founded by Altman and Musk in 2015. 
However, Musk left the company before it went big. The actual reason for his 
gripe? Maybe. Altman now wants to change the non-profit status of OpenAI to 
draw more investor funding – approximately $40B by the end of the year. 
However, Musk views this as a violation of OpenAI’s initial objectives. In a 
major setback for Musk, the California attorney general declined his request 
to join the lawsuit since he failed to prove that his actions would benefit 
the public. It&#8217;s clear that Musk is least concerned about OpenAI’s profit 
objectives and more interested in stifling competition. The opposite seems to 
be happening, though. Musk’s tweets might have provoked Sam Altman to develop 
OpenAI&#8217;s social media app, which will go head-to-head with X. OpenAI’s New AI 
Agent – A Software Engineer Saraf Friar, OpenAI CFO, revealed that the company 
will release ‘A-SWE’ – a new software engineer AI agent, fully capable of 
building an entire app for you. It can also complete tasks that software 
engineers usually hate to do. This will be OpenAI’s third AI agent after 
Operator in January and Deep Research in February. AI&#8217;s application is now 
extending beyond chatbots and customer support. For instance, OpenAI claims 
that Deep Research can fully replace your research assistant. Similarly, the 
new A-SWE agent may replace a part of the software engineer workforce in 
companies. It&#8217;s fair to say that this sets the stage for AI agents in DeFi to 
rally higher. If this is an investment avenue you&#8217;d like to explore, here are 
the best AI agent cryptos on the market right now. 1. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – 
Best Crypto to Buy Now to Ride AI’s Growth MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is the pick of 
the litter regarding AI agents in DeFi. That&#8217;s because it can help you stay 
ahead of the curve and grab the hottest crypto tokens before they rise so high 
you can&#8217;t see their chart without a ladder. $MIND has been designed to be 
autonomous. It uses its own &#8216;mind&#8217; when it hops on the internet (on dApps and 
platforms like X) to talk to the crypto community. It listens to the loudest 
and the quietest noises, registering the latest opinions, facts, and insights 
about everything crypto. Then, MIND of Pepe uses state-of-the-art hive-mind 
analysis to churn the collected data and identify cryptos worth investing in 
based on current market trends and underlying fundamental strength. Indeed, 
because MIND is self-evolving, it will ultimately even be able to create its 
own tokens based on current market sentiments. If you want access to $MIND&#8217;s 
expert investing insights and its tokens, visit the official MIND of Pepe 
website and become an early investor now. The token is available for only 
$0.0037165. That&#8217;s low because the project is still in presale, which appears 
to be going strong, having recently crossed the $8M mark. For more 
information, check out our how to buy $MIND guide. 2. SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) – 
New Altcoin Streamlining the Online Content Creator Industry SUBBD Token 
($SUBBD) is the fuel behind the SUBBD platform, a one-of-a-kind crypto 
subscription platform that leverages artificial intelligence to help online 
creators. Simply put, creators on SUBBD will have a box of AI tools at their 
disposal, which they can use to upscale their content creation. This would 
also leave them with more time (and ways) to interact with their audiences. 
Owning $SUBBD tokens makes sense for fans, too, as it unlocks many benefits 
within the SUBBD ecosystem. This includes exclusive and personalized content 
from your favorite creators on $SUBBD. You&#8217;ll also be able to tip and transact 
with your favorite content creators. What&#8217;s more, you&#8217;ll also enjoy platform 
discounts, early access to new beta features, and VIP benefits like live 
streams and BTS content if you stake your tokens. Because SUBBD Token is a new 
cryptocurrency whose presale has just begun, you can grab it for a low price 
of $0.055175. It has raised $177K at the time of writing. Here&#8217;s how to buy 
$SUBBD. 3. Freysa AI ($FAI) – Compete Against AI Agent to Win Crypto Rewards 
The online gaming industry is one of the fastest-growing markets worldwide, 
projected to surge past $388B in total valuation by 2033. That&#8217;s why, whenever 
an unconventional game-based token like Freysa AI comes around, it&#8217;s worth 
noting. At its core, Freysa AI is a stubborn AI agent holding onto a 
cryptocurrency pot. The game is to convince Freysa to release the pot as your 
reward. Yep, you heard that right. Depending on your quest, you can walk away 
with thousands of dollars. One person who convinced Freysa to fall in love 
with them won a whopping $21K. Unlike the two tokens mentioned above, $FAI is 
live on crypto exchanges and currently trading for $0.01631. It&#8217;s easily one 
of the best cheap cryptos to buy now with real upward potential. It&#8217;s worth 
noting that $FAI has climbed over 31% in the last seven days, proving once 
again what happens when you engage online gamers. Final Thoughts AI is all the 
rage, but while it&#8217;s easy to get caught up in thinking that AI coins are 
immune to the larger crypto market&#8217;s volatility, that&#8217;s not always the case. 
Aside from finding the best AI coins, ensure you invest only an amount you&#8217;re 
comfortable losing. Lastly, we urge our readers to always do their own 
research. These articles are not professional financial advice.

Bitcoin and gold show loss of confidence in fiat, says Galaxy CEO

Real estate-focused financial technology firm Janover has acquired 80,567 
Solana tokens for roughly $10.5 million.
According to an April 15 announcement, with its latest purchase, Janover&#8217;s 
Solana (SOL) holdings reached 163,651.7 &#8212; worth about $21.2 million, 
including staking rewards. With this investment, the amount of Solana per each 
of the 1.5 million shares reached 0.11 SOL, valued at $14.47 &#8212; an increase of 
120%.

Janover plans to start staking the newly acquired SOL immediately to generate 
additional revenue. The announcement follows the company raising about $42 
million with the expressed intent to enhance its digital asset treasury 
strategy.
The new capital was raised in a convertible note and warrants sale from 
Pantera Capital, Kraken, Arrington Capital, Protagonist, The Norstar Group, 
Third Party Ventures, Trammell Venture Partners and 11 angel investors. At the 
same time, a team of former Kraken executives has taken control of the 
company.
Joseph Onorati, former chief strategy officer at Kraken, stepped in as 
chairman and CEO at Janover following the group&#8217;s purchase of over 700,000 
common shares and all Series A preferred stock.

## Altcoins on the balance sheet?
Janover is one of the latest companies to decide to add digital assets to 
their corporate treasury. What makes it an outlier is the decision to 
accumulate an asset that is not Bitcoin (BTC).
The most notable example of a Bitcoin-accumulating firm is Strategy (formerly 
MicroStrategy). Strategy is a publicly traded business intelligence company 
founded as MicroStrategy in 1989.
In 2020, the firm pivoted to acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible. Strategy 
now holds well over 2.5% of all Bitcoin that will ever be produced.

## Bitcoin dominates balance sheets
BitcoinTreasuries.NET data shows that Strategy holds 528,185 BTC worth nearly 
$44.2 billion at the time of writing. The company has leveraged debt to 
accumulate its Bitcoin.
Another example of a company that is now focused on accumulating Bitcoin is 
Metaplanet, often referred to as &#8220;Japan&#8217;s MicroStrategy.&#8221; Both companies hold 
Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and as part of a broader strategy to 
diversify and modernize their treasuries.
According to some analysts, this strategy may soon pay off. Bitcoin is showing 
growing resilience to macroeconomic headwinds compared with traditional 
financial markets, according to a recent Wintermute report. Still, not 
everyone is convinced that the trend will hold, with the founder of 
Obchakevich Research, Alex Obchakevich, saying:
&gt; &#8220;As the trade war intensifies, Bitcoin may return to the list of risky 
&gt; assets. Because investors will most likely look for salvation in gold.&#8221;
