Libra Rugpole scandal continues.

FtX creditors start receiving payouts and Michael Saylor is buying more Bitcoin.

It's Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

This is a Consensus CoinDust Daily Special from Hong Kong.

Libra co-creator Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsker Ventures, bragging in text messages that he bought

influence over Argentine President Javier Milley in text messages reviewed by CoinDesk.

Davis saying in December that he could send money to Muley's powerful sister, and he signs whatever I say

and does what I want. The claim adds a new dimension to the anti-corruption investigation

into Miele's promotion of Libra. Creditors of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX with claims

below $50,000 have started receiving their payouts, which include

9% annual interest accrued since November of 2022. They are expected to receive roughly

119% of their adjudicated claim value, totaling over $1 billion. The funds are being distributed

in U.S. dollars through Bitco and Cracken.

And finally, Michael Saylor's strategy, formerly micro strategy, is raising another $2 billion

via zero percent convertible notes. The underwriter Green Shoe is up to an additional $300 million of the paper, according to a news release.

The Bitcoin Treasury Company holds almost 480,000 tokens worth more than $45 billion at current prices.
