Market Updates: Saylor Hints at Further Bitcoin Accumulation, Western Union to Launch USDPT Stablecoin in May, TRUMP Memecoin Extends Slide Post Mar-a-Lago Gathering

Latest Market Updates: As of 27th April 2026

Today in crypto, Michael Saylor signaled another potential Bitcoin purchase, which could extend Strategy’s three-week buying streak.

In other developments, Western Union plans to launch its USDPT stablecoin in May, while the TRUMP memecoin continued to decline despite a Mar-a-Lago investor event. Meanwhile, Galaxy Digital’s Mike Novogratz said the U.S. Clarity Act is expected to be finalized in May.

Strategy Signals Potential New Bitcoin Purchase

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, has hinted that the company may soon add more Bitcoin to its treasury, extending a three-week buying streak.

In a recent post on X, Saylor shared a chart outlining the company’s Bitcoin acquisition history since 2020, during which it has completed 107 purchases. Historically, such posts have often preceded new buying activity.

The signal follows a major acquisition last week, when Strategy purchased 34,164 BTC for over $2.5 billion. This brought its total holdings to 815,061 BTC, currently valued at approximately $63.6 billion.

The company’s average acquisition cost is about $75,528 per Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded at $77,851, reflecting a 4.4% weekly gain. Consequently, Strategy is currently sitting on unrealized profits of around $2.03 billion.

Looking ahead, Adam Livingston, a Bitcoin advocate and Strategy investor, suggested the company could accumulate as much as 1.2 million BTC by the end of 2026.

Western Union Prepares USDPT Stablecoin Launch

In parallel, Western Union is preparing to launch its USD-backed stablecoin, USDPT, in May 2026.

CEO Devin McGranahan confirmed during the company’s earnings call that the project is in its final stages and nearing deployment. He emphasized that digital assets are becoming a core pillar of Western Union’s long-term strategy.

USDPT will be issued on the Solana blockchain and managed by Anchorage Digital Bank to provide fast, scalable settlement capabilities.

Western Union also plans to integrate the stablecoin into its Digital Asset Network (DAN), enabling users to convert digital dollars into local currencies across more than 360,000 physical locations worldwide. The company expects its first network partner to join within a week.

Additionally, Western Union is developing a stablecoin-linked payment card, further broadening its crypto-enabled financial services ecosystem.

TRUMP Memecoin Extends Decline Despite High-Profile Investor Event

Meanwhile, the TRUMP memecoin remains under pressure, extending its decline despite efforts to boost visibility through high-profile events.

According to CoinGecko data, the token is trading near $2.56, down about 3% over the past day. More notably, it remains over 96% below its peak of $73.43 reached in early 2025.

The latest decline comes even after a private Mar-a-Lago event hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump for 297 of the token’s largest holders. A smaller VIP group of 29 attendees participated in an exclusive reception and champagne toast, according to The Independent.

A similar promotional gathering was held in May 2025 at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, where 220 top holders were invited. However, neither event has reversed the token’s long-term downward trend.

Mike Novogratz Expects CLARITY Act Progress in May

Alongside these developments, Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, expressed optimism that the US CLARITY Act could advance in May 2026.

Speaking on a podcast with Anthony Scaramucci, Novogratz said the bill may reach committee review in early May. He added that it could then move to final approval shortly after, with possible enactment by June.

The proposed aims to establish clearer regulatory guidelines for the crypto industry. However, recent delays, including the Senate Banking Committee’s decision not to schedule a markup hearing last week, have raised concerns among market participants.

Despite this setback, Novogratz stressed that the bill retains bipartisan importance. He added that its passage could unlock new opportunities, including tokenizing major companies like SpaceX and Google, potentially broadening global access to such assets.
