According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Gates Foundation Trust sold its remaining approximately 7.7 million shares of Microsoft stock in the first quarter of 2026, valued at roughly $3.2 billion based on current share prices. As of the end of the quarter, the charitable foundation no longer holds any Microsoft stock. Market analysts believe this full divestment aligns with Bill Gates’ recent charitable planning direction. In May 2025, Gates announced that the foundation would gradually wind down its operations over the next 20 years and allocate all its assets to charitable purposes, with the goal of permanently closing the foundation by December 31, 2045; charitable expenditures during this period are projected to exceed $200 billion.

Odaily, Berachain Foundation issued a warning on the X platform, stating that the Wasabi Protocol experienced a cross-chain security incident due to a deployer's private key leak, which has impacted multiple blockchains including Berachain. To prevent the risk from spreading, Berachain has suspended and blacklisted all affected Wasabi Reward Vaults within its network, immediately halting the distribution of BGT staking rewards to the compromised contracts and blocking the flow of new BGT into the affected vaults.The official team requires all users who have previously interacted with Wasabi on Berachain to immediately revoke token approvals for the specified contracts to avoid the risk of asset theft. Berachain also emphasized that the BGT reward funds within the native Reward Vaults remain secure and users can claim them normally; this incident does not affect core ecosystem interests.
