February 14 News, as more assets are transferred to blockchain, smartphones are evolving from “communication tools” into “digital vaults.” On Tucker Carlson’s program, Yannik Schrade, CEO of privacy project Arcium, pointed out that blockchain wallets require hardware-level protection, and Solana’s encrypted phone Saga was created to meet this need.
Schrade emphasized that today, funds exist digitally on the chain, and ordinary smartphones are not designed for private keys, resulting in low security boundaries. Saga isolates private keys on the device using hardware seed storage and biometric authentication, allowing users to authorize transactions without exposing their keys. Solana released Saga in 2023 and launched Seeker in 2024, with upgrades in brightness, performance, and battery life, while maintaining a standard Android experience and instant connection to Web3 dApps.
Data also supports the importance of privacy on mobile devices. FTC records show that in 2023, there were over 2.6 million identity theft complaints in the US, with related losses reaching billions of dollars. When smartphones also serve as wallets, security standards must be significantly raised. Carlson’s segment demonstrated processes like on-chain double-click confirmation and fingerprint verification, showcasing the practical value of “hardware-level wallet phones” to mainstream users.
Of course, controversy remains. Early Saga models faced criticism for weight and configuration, and some Seeker users reported minor performance issues; security updates for older models will cease in 2025, requiring early migration for existing users. Nevertheless, pre-orders sold out quickly, and SKR rewards and an open ecosystem attracted early adopters.
In the era of “phone as wallet,” devices designed specifically for private keys are becoming new options. Will you entrust your assets to a crypto phone with hardware isolation, or continue relying on traditional solutions? The choice may influence the future paradigm of digital asset security.

The Endgame of "Coin Hoarding Company": Liquidation or Self-Rescue?

Just over a year ago, for many companies seeking to boost their stock prices, becoming a cryptocurrency reserve company (DAT) seemed like an easy decision.
Some Microsoft shareholders convened meetings to ask the board to evaluate the benefits of including some Bitcoin on the balance sheet. They even mentioned Strategy, which is the largest publicly listed Bitcoin DAT.
At that time, a financial flywheel was in place, attracting everyone to follow.
Buying large amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana (SOL). Watching the stock price exceed the value of these assets. Issuing more shares at a premium. Using that money to buy more cryptocurrencies. Cycle repeats. This financial flywheel supporting publicly listed stocks seemed almost perfect, enough to tempt investors. They paid over two dollars just to indirectly acquire Bitcoin worth only one dollar.
