Dogecoin jumps after launch of official reserve, surpasses Cardano
Dogecoin's price has spiked more than 5% a day after the launch of the Official Dogecoin Reserve.
On March 24, the Dogecoin Foundation's corporate arm, House of Doge, announced the launch of an Official Dogecoin Reserve. The Reserve's first purchase is worth approximately $1.8 million in 10 million DOGE tokens.
House of Doge said the Reserve's launch is a step in the group's strategy to make DOGE 'a fast and reliable payment option' everywhere. It will announce its first strategic partnerships in the coming months to demonstrate DOGE's real-world payment utility.
House of Doge's member of the board-elect, Michael Galloro, said, 'By maintaining a reserve, we can bridge the gap between transaction processing times and real-world usability, making Dogecoin extremely practical for everyday purchases.'
Notably, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 6 to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The meme coin, launched to parody Bitcoin, is trying to follow suit in order to establish itself as a mainstream payment option that it has failed to do so far.
DOGE's price rallied more than 5% within the last 24 hours and was trading at $0.1922 at press time, as per Kraken's price feeds.
Around 8.50 billion DOGE coins worth $1.62 billion have been traded within the last 24 hours.
As the meme coin surged $28.47 billion in market capitalization, DOGE surpassed Cardano (ADA) to emerge as the 8th largest cryptocurrency. ADA had a market cap of $26.56 billion at press time.
Nonetheless, DOGE's current price is still 75% lower than its all-time high (ATH) of $0.7316 that it hit on May 8, 2021.

Tesla shares down as Trump fires back at ally Musk
Tesla shares dipped Thursday after President Trump fired back at Elon Musk over his growing criticism of the president's tax and spending bill. The electric vehicle company's share price was down nearly 9 percent as of early Thursday afternoon, as the once close relationship between Trump and Musk appeared to be rapidly deteriorating. The Tesla CEO officially departed the Trump administration last week after a brief but highly controversial tenure. The tech billionaire, who began voicing concerns about Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' shortly before his exit, offered biting criticism of the legislation Tuesday, calling it a 'disgusting abomination.' He has taken particular issue with the bill's potential to expand the federal deficit. The president responded Thursday, saying he was 'very surprised.' 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore,' Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. 'He knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it better than almost anybody. And he never had a problem until right after he left,' he added. 'I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.' Musk fired back quickly, suggesting that Trump 'would have lost the election' without him. The Tesla CEO spent at least $250 million in the 2024 election boosting Trump's campaign, earning him a spot in the president's inner circle and a key role in the administration as head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The tech mogul's government work has weighed heavily on his companies, particularly Tesla, which saw its stock plummet in the early months of the Trump administration. It has recovered in recent weeks as Musk has stepped back from his government work.

Climate lawfare in blue-state courts could hurt US energy consumers, expert says: 'Huge impact'
Climate change advocates are using "tiny jurisdictions" across the country to push their priorities through civil lawsuits, in an effort that could have significant national-level impacts on domestic oil production and even other industries, a conservative consumer advocate warns. President Donald Trump has taken steps to unleash a sweeping domestic energy agenda, including through preemptive lawsuits in at least four states aimed at preventing them from suing fossil fuel companies over climate change damages. However, a wave of other mainly Democratic jurisdictions across the country, such as in Oregon, Colorado and Washington, are still attempting to go after fossil fuel companies, something consumer advocate O.H. Skinner warns could have "a huge effect" on not only the domestic oil industry, but also on other key economic sectors like car manufacturing. "You really have to understand that these suits matter a ton," said Skinner, who is a fossil fuel industry advocate and executive director at nonprofit Alliance for Consumers. "If a court in Oregon declares climate change to be a public nuisance, and orders the nine biggest energy companies in America to stop the nuisance, they're going to unlock billions of dollars for their green initiatives, and going to be asking the court to prevent these energy companies from opening a new oil field, drilling, producing, refining, everywhere." Skinner is referring to an ongoing case in Oregon – Multonomah County to be precise, which is seeking $52 billion in their suit against oil companies. He also pointed out that several other "public nuisance lawsuits" across the country "are asking for national fixes from courtrooms in little, tiny jurisdictions." "One county gets 50 billion. Another county gets 50 billion. What's their real goal? Bankrupting the energy industry across the whole country," Skinner said. "If they were to get such a win, it would start to have a huge effect." Trump signed an executive order in April targeting state and local lawsuits against domestic energy producers, which, in part, instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to identify and take action against state laws and civil actions that burden domestic energy producers. So far, his administration has filed lawsuits against at least four states, New York, Vermont, Michigan and Hawaii, to block them from suing fossil fuel companies for damages. Skinner said that as a consumer advocate, he "gets really nervous" about these lawsuits because they don't just end with fossil fuels. "They are trying to direct national policy through the courtroom, because they've lost in so many other important venues, like Congress or at the ballot box for president," Skinner said. "First they want to stop oil production, then they want it, then they're going to go and try to say that the car companies all have to switch to zero emission vehicles. And it goes on and on and on." Our Children's Trust, an Oregon-based nonprofit that is currently litigating several state and federal-level lawsuits on behalf of youth plaintiffs over climate change-related matters, including one against the Trump administration over the implementation of his numerous executive directives on unleashing fossil fuels. "No president can act in ways that harm our kids or tell states they have to power their electricity grid with fossil fuels when wind and solar are the cleaner, cheaper, and healthier option," a spokesperson for the group said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "What's important for Americans to know is that wind and solar energy are not only the most abundant source of energy we have, but because of American ingenuity, they are also the cheapest form of energy today. It's why clean energy was the fastest-growing energy sector in Texas last year," the spokesperson continued. "For families who pay the electricity bill, they will spend less for every fossil fuel we substitute with wind and solar energy. Even more importantly, medical doctors say we can prevent asthma in children, and create healthier communities for our kids. We all share the value of protecting life, especially our children's."
