Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.Grab a coffee to view the market from the eyes of financial experts across TradFi and crypto. Given the more established financial channels, there is growing overlap, with Bitcoin (BTC) inadvertently benefiting from TradFi woes.<h2>Crypto News of the Day: Max Keiser Says Bitcoin and Saylor Are the Future</h2>Warren Buffett made the ultimate case for Bitcoin as the American investor considers stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.Pending board approval, Buffett could step aside at the end of the year, giving way for Greg Abel, vice chair of non-insurance operations, to become Berkshire’s new chief.This revelation came at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting on May 3, 2025, where Buffett also offered a stark warning about the long-term value of the US dollar.He noted that every system eventually debases its currency. According to Warren Buffett, government decisions make paper money lose value over time.<blockquote>“In the end, if you get people to control the currency, you can issue paper money, and you will,” Buffett <a href="https://youtu.be/w1YaS_lSAmw" rel="nofollow">told</a> shareholders in Omaha.</blockquote>Warren Buffett Slams US Fiscal Policy at Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder MeetingWithout naming alternatives such as Bitcoin, the 93-year-old investor cautioned against holding assets denominated in a currency he said was systematically devalued by government policy.<blockquote>“The natural course of government is to make the currency worth less over time… Some places devalue at breathtaking rates… it’s not evil, it’s just their job,” he added.</blockquote>The investing icon said that if his late partner, <a href="https://beincrypto.com/warren-buffet-charlie-munger-blast-bitcoin-for-lack-of-utility/" rel="nofollow">Charlie Munger</a>, had to choose a second area besides stocks, he would have gone into foreign exchange.These remarks suggested an openness to non-traditional assets. Bitcoin advocate and broadcaster Max Keiser responded to the remarks in an interview with BeInCrypto.Max Keiser interprets Buffett’s comments as a tacit validation of the thesis behind Bitcoin.<blockquote>“Executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor is the Warren Buffett of the 21st century. He saw what Buffett described and built his strategy around it,” Keiser started.</blockquote>Keiser has long criticized fiat currency systems and centralized banking. The Bitcoin pioneer contrasted <a href="https://beincrypto.com/riot-sells-bitcoin-microstrategy-buys-amid-criticism/" rel="nofollow">Saylor’s Bitcoin-focused investment approach</a> with what he described as Buffett’s reliance on <a href="https://beincrypto.com/learn/tradfi-explained" rel="nofollow">traditional finance (TradFi)</a>.<blockquote>“Warren Buffett built his empire on money printing. Most of his holdings over the years have been in banks, insurance companies, and financial services,” Keiser claimed.</blockquote>In his view, Buffett benefited from having political leverage in Washington, particularly during the 2008 financial crisis. During this time, Keiser says, his [Buffett] investments in Wall Street institutions aligned with government-led rescue efforts.<h2>Buffett’s Role During The 2008 Financial Crisis Is Well Documented</h2>During the market downturn, <a href="https://beincrypto.com/berkshire-hathaway-vice-chairman-charlie-munger-hates-bitcoins-success/" rel="nofollow">Berkshire Hathaway</a> invested heavily in companies like <a href="https://beincrypto.com/goldman-sachs-recession-probability-bitcoin/" rel="nofollow">Goldman Sachs</a> and <a href="https://beincrypto.com/bank-of-america-stablecoin-regulation/" rel="nofollow">Bank of America (BofA)</a>, which earned him praise as a stabilizing force.Michael Saylor, meanwhile, has taken a dramatically different approach. Under his leadership, MicroStrategy (now Strategy) began acquiring Bitcoin in 2020 as part of its corporate treasury strategy. The firm cited concerns about the long-term debasement of fiat currencies.As of early 2025, the company holds more than 200,000 BTC, worth tens of billions of dollars at current market prices. A recent <a href="https://beincrypto.com/strategy-bitcoin-max-keiser-saylorize-corporations-survive/" rel="nofollow">US Crypto News</a> publication revealed one of Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchases.<a href="https://beincrypto.com/warren-buffet-charlie-munger-blast-bitcoin-for-lack-of-utility/" rel="nofollow">Buffett has long been critical of Bitcoin</a>, famously calling it “rat poison squared” in 2018. However, some in the digital asset space have interpreted his recent comments about currency debasement as aligning with core arguments made by Bitcoin proponents.Based on his remarks, the American investor and philanthropist is concerned about the US fiscal policy.His comments allude that while he may not like Bitcoin, he clearly understands why it exists. Sentiment on X (Twitter) shows that community members took notice.Responses suggest that if Warren Buffett understands money and its flaws manifested in fiat form, why does he not endorse Bitcoin as the solution?<blockquote>“Warren Buffet talks about the virtues of Bitcoin without mentioning Bitcoin,” one user on X <a href="https://x.com/realshayshea/status/1919237224572268921" rel="nofollow">quipped</a>.</blockquote>Meanwhile, others hope Buffett’s prospective replacement as CEO will see the next Berkshire Hathaway chief to lead the company in a different direction, potentially adopting Bitcoin. A spokesperson for Berkshire Hathaway did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Keiser’s remarks.Elsewhere, and in line with Buffett’s statement about foreign exchange, QCP Capital analysts cite a remarkable 8% rally in the Taiwanese Dollar (TWD) on Monday.They cite this as the TWD’s sharpest move in decades, alongside gains in other APAC currencies with strong current account surpluses. According to the analysts, speculation over a potential US-Taiwan trade deal drove this rally, as did insurer-hedging flows, pushing TWD’s 1Y NDF spread to its widest since 2008.While Taiwan’s trade surplus supports the TWD, capital outflows have historically balanced it. This shift mirrors past foreign exchange dislocations like the 2023 JPY carry unwind.For crypto, the move signals possible macro volatility ahead, with gold up 3% and BTC facing a binary path tied to global capital flows and trade diplomacy.<blockquote>“In a market where correlations are fraying, FX may once again be the canary in the macro coalmine,” <a href="https://t.me/QCPbroadcast/1446" rel="nofollow">wrote</a> QCP analysts.</blockquote><h2>Chart of the Day</h2><img alt="US dollar index (DXY) performance year-to-date" src="https://static.fwimg.io/img/feed/47560d8897a247b10d3036c89630909c.jpg">US dollar index (DXY) performance year-to-date.
