The post Trump has forced the Mag7 into bailing out Intel, but it’s not going the way he wants appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Trump White House has assisted Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) in making a comeback through the use of the largest names in technology in the country, but things may not be going as well as he would like. These names include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Elon Musk’s SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX). As Cryptopolitan has been reporting over the past year and a half, Washington has become Intel’s biggest owner. The rescue has lifted the stock, protected factory spending, and given the company partners. It has not yet delivered the one thing Intel needs most: large outside customers paying to use its factories. Intel shares have risen more than four times since Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan took charge in March 2025. Better demand for processors helped, but federal support and Lip-Bu’s internal cleanup also played roles. Intel opened Friday down 2.5% at $109.68

The post LIVE: Trump says Iran is plotting to kill him again, but he has a plan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin stayed surprisingly steady near $64,000 even after Trump issued a fresh military warning to Iran. The coin gained roughly 2% to $64,100, while investors also moved toward gold as both assets traded more closely together during the latest burst of geopolitical and inflation anxiety. Trump said the U.S. already has weapons aimed at Iran and claimed the military could keep up a major campaign for at least a year if Tehran tries to kill him. “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He added that orders had been issued and said the operation could be extended beyond one year, and ended the message with an uppercased “PRAISE BE TO ALLAH.” The bulk of Bitcoin’s gain came about as a result of the liquidation of traders out of their bearish positions, rather

The post Bitcoin Reclaims $64K on Oil-Driven Risk Rebound appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News Bitcoin (BTC) pushed back above the $64,000 mark this weekend as a retreat in oil prices revived risk appetite across markets. Some analysts are already modelling ambitious targets for the next cycle, with veteran trader Peter Brandt anticipating a peak between $300,000 and $500,000 and Bernstein strategists citing $500,000 by 2029 on the back of spot exchange-traded fund demand. Our reading of the data urges caution: while Bitcoin has set a fresh record after every halving, the peak-to-peak multiples keep shrinking, and the deeper, more liquid market that ETFs create may temper the parabolic moves that defined earlier cycles. The immediate catalyst was a sharp unwind in crude. Brent briefly topped $76 a barrel mid-week on renewed Middle East tensions before sliding back toward the low $70s, easing inflation fears and lifting equities alongside crypto. As BTC rallied more than 2%
