The shares of Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) plunged 9.24% during the Monday pre-market trading session as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) tumbled 7% amid President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff woes.
What Happened: Strategy, one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency, felt the brunt after Bitcoin hit a low of $77,097.74<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44659799/bitcoin-plunges-below-80000-ethereum-dogecoin-crash-as-cryptocurrencies-mirror-stocks-amid-trump-tariff-mayhem-analyst-flags-critical-support-level-for-btc"> before slightly</a> recovering to $78,000 on Sunday. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) experienced a more severe fall, dipping below $1,600 for the first time since October 2023.
The trading volume for Bitcoin and Ethereum surged by 179% and 272%, respectively, indicating a high selling pressure. This drop followed a period of relative stability in cryptocurrency prices amidst intense stock market volatility on Friday.
Although Bitcoin initially demonstrated resilience, it is now mirroring the growing unease in the broader market. According to data from&nbsp;CoinGlass, in the past 24 hours, the crypto market experienced $570 million in liquidations, with long positions making up $493 million of the total. Bitcoin alone was responsible for more than $121 million of these liquidations.
As Bitcoin fell below the $80,000 threshold, prominent economist and Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff questioned Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor on whether he could stop the cryptocurrency from dropping further below his average purchase price of $68,000 by borrowing more funds to make large-scale purchases. 
At present, Strategy owns 528,185 BTC on its balance sheet

Why It Matters:  Earlier this month, investment banking firm Monness, Crespi, Hardt &amp; Co. predicted that Strategy&#8217;s aggressive bitcoin purchases may soon face a roadblock as funding options become limited. The firm also downgraded MSTR stock to &#8216;Sell&#8217; after initiating coverage at &#8216;Neutral&#8217; two weeks ago.
This recent crash in the cryptocurrency market comes in the wake of warnings from renowned cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe. The analyst predicted that Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44661331/bitcoin-could-test-70k-amid-fears-of-black-monday-panic-says-analyst-van-de-poppe-as-global-markets-slide-on-trump-tariff-shock">could test</a> the $70,000 level amid panic selling, which he referred to as "Black Monday". This prediction seems to be coming true as the cryptocurrency market experiences its worst selloff since March 2020.
Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez has anticipated a significant price movement for Bitcoin, while economic analyst Jesse Colombo identified $77,500 as&nbsp;a &#8220;critical support level&#8221; for&nbsp;the cryptocurrency, warning of a sharp plunge if this level fails.

Bally's Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BALY#NYSE">BALY</a>) ("Bally's" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a binding term sheet with The Star Entertainment Group Limited (ASX: SGR) ("The Star") comprising a multi-tranche issuance of subordinated convertible notes and subordinated debt (together the "Notes") with an aggregate principal value of AUD $300 million (approximately USD $187 million1) (the "Transaction").
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2658995/SGR___Term_Sheet_with_Bally_s_Corporation__fully_executed_without_signature_pages.pdf?p=original"><img src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2658995/SGR___Term_Sheet_with_Bally_s_Corporation__fully_executed_without_signature_pages.pdf?p=pdfthumbnail" alt="Bally's Corporation enters into a binding agreement with The Star for AUD 300 Million Strategic Capital Investment via Convertible Notes and Subordinated Debt" /></a>
The Star is an ASX-listed, leading Australian entertainment and gaming company, operating casino and resort properties in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The Star employs approximately 8,000 team members while also supporting downstream employment and other opportunities in the communities in which it operates.
Bally's will invest in and partner with The Star and bring a proven track record of revitalising underperforming casino businesses.&nbsp; Bally's will continue to work collaboratively with regulators and stakeholders to support a successful turnaround of The Star. Strategically, the Transaction is intended to preserve The Star's long-term potential, with Bally's committed to leveraging its operational expertise to deliver a more resilient and sustainable business for all stakeholders.
Soo Kim, Chairman of Bally's, said "This transaction provides Bally's the opportunity to infuse The Star with what it needs to regain its position as Australia's preeminent gaming destination.&nbsp; And it allows The Star shareholders to share in what we confidently believe will be a brighter future together."
George Papanier, President of Bally's adds, "We are excited to bring our reputation and operating expertise to a wonderful set of properties that operate in fantastic markets.&nbsp; We are up for the challenge."
Upon conversion of the Notes, Bally's would own up to ~56.7% of the fully diluted share capital of The Star assuming it subscribes for 100% of the Notes, noting that The Star's major shareholder, Investment Holdings Pty Ltd (which is controlled by the Mathieson family), may separately subscribe for a portion of the Notes, which would reduce Bally's' commitment by an equal amount.
The issue and conversion of certain tranches of Notes is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Star expects to hold a shareholder meeting in the coming months. In the interim a Bally's representative will join The Star board as an observer. Upon conversion of the Notes, additional and/or replacement directors will be appointed to ensure majority Board representation, subject to regulatory approvals.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Transaction Details
Under the binding term sheet executed on 6 April 2025, Bally's will invest AUD 300,000,000 (approximately USD $187 million1) through a combination of subordinated convertible notes and subordinated debt, in two tranches (refer below).
The Notes are convertible into shares such that Bally's will own approximately 56.7% of The Star's fully diluted share capital post-conversion,
<ul>
<li>Tranche 1 Notes:
<ul>
<li>Tranche 1A: Convertible into shares representing 9.71% of The Star's pre-issue capital</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>AUD $22.3m (approximately USD $13.9m1)
<ul>
<li>Tranche 1B: Convertible into shares representing 4.85% of The Star's pre-issue capital</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>AUD $11.1m (approximately USD $6.9m1)
<ul>
<li>Tranche 1C Subordinated Debt: Subordinated non-convertible debt</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Subordinated Debt of&nbsp;AUD $66.6m (approximately USD $41.5m1).&nbsp; This amount may be increased in certain circumstances, including if regulatory approvals related to the issuance and conversion of the Tranche 2&nbsp; Notes are not obtained within specified periods.</li>
<li>Tranche 2 Notes: Convertible into shares representing 50.3% of The Star's pre-issue capital
<ul>
<li>AUD $266.6m (approximately USD $166.2m1) with the principal amount of the Trance 1C Subordinated Debt being applied to reduce the amount payable by Bally's on the issue of the Tranche 2 Notes.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The conversion price is fixed at&nbsp;AUD 0.08 per share, with customary anti-dilution protections.</li>
<li>The Notes mature on 2 July 2029, with automatic redemption of principal, accrued interest, and any outstanding payment-in-kind ("PIK") liability if not converted.</li>
<li>Interest rate of 9.0% per annum, payable quarterly.</li>
</ul>
Funding Details and Approvals
Bally's has available funds to support the Transaction. The issuance and conversion of certain tranches of Notes is subject to receipt of shareholder approval, regulatory approvals, execution of long-form transaction documents and certain consents.
The binding term sheet is attached to this release.

Zelle's standalone mobile app officially shut down on April 1, leaving some users wondering how they can keep sending money digitally. 
What Happened: Launched in 2017, Zelle quickly gained popularity by partnering with major financial institutions nationwide. Today, more than 2,200 U.S. banks and credit unions support Zelle, driving usage of the separate app below 2%— making its closure unsurprising.
As noted by CNET in a <a href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/banking/the-zelle-app-has-shut-down-heres-how-you-can-still-send-money-digitally/">report</a>, Zelle itself isn't going anywhere. You can still transfer funds through your bank's app or website if it participates in the Zelle network, which includes Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, PNC Bank and Citi. If you'd rather switch, Apple Wallet, Cash App, PayPal and Venmo remain prominent alternatives for electronic transactions.

Why It Matters: The shutdown follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42687945/zelle-became-a-gold-mine-for-fraudsters-consumer-financial-protection-bureau-lawsuit">scrutiny Zelle faced</a> last year, when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued it and three major U.S. banks over allegations of rampant fraud on the peer-to-peer payment network. That <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44122330/cfpb-drops-zelle-fraud-reimbursement-case-against-jpmorgan-wells-fargo">lawsuit was dropped</a>, but concerns about digital security linger. Zelle, for its part, says it's prioritizing its bank partnerships because "the vast majority of people" already access the service through their financial institution.
Regardless of the platform you use, experts warn against sending money to unfamiliar recipients. Chase recently blocked certain Zelle transactions it considered suspicious, bringing to light broader worries about scams. 
Remain vigilant for urgent messages or offers that appear too good to be true — common signs of fraud. Stay informed, trust your instincts, and choose a service that combines convenience with solid safety measures. Even without the standalone Zelle app, you can still move money swiftly while taking steps to protect yourself.
