#4: Ledger co-founder Kidnapped😱

Dear Bitcoin Daily Readers,

Past 24 hours were extremely unfortunate. The co-founder of arguably the most popular hardware wallet company Ledger, David Balland, was kidnapped from his home in France. The kidnappers reportedly demanded a huge ransom. Although, the latest news is that Balland is now free. The details of the kidnapping is still unclear but one thing is certain — there are bad people on the lookout for crypto holders. This is not the first time something like this has happened. In fact, James Lopp has curated an entire list of such attacks here.

Moving to other things that happened in the space:

1. Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock says “If everyone adopted a 2% or 5% allocation, you could see #Bitcoin at $700,000.”. Blackrock has been fairly bullish on Bitcoin since the ETFs were launched and they hold a substantial amount of it. This is not a surprising statement and who knows, it might be proven true in this bull cycle.

2. Donald Trump’s World Liberty Fi $10M Of Wrapped Bitcoin last night — While Wrapped Bitcoin is not exactly Bitcoin, it is apparent that Trump is bullish on BTC. After the last purchase of $47 million, he added an additional $10 million worth BTC to his stack.

The last week has been pretty eventful and the surprises keep unfolding. Our job is to keep you updated so stay tuned for the next batch of news coming to you tomorrow!

Stay safe and keep stacking!
