Google Wallet gets a fresh coat of Material 3 Expressive with latest Play System update
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority
TL;DR Google Wallet is getting a new design that adopts Google's Material 3 Expressive aesthetic.
The update is now rolling out widely, and Google has also made it official in its latest Play System update.
With the update, Google Wallet has a more modern layout, with new icons, rounded rectangle containers, fresh buttons, and more.
Google is officially rolling out a new Google Wallet experience with the latest Play System update (version 25.25). The redesign brings elements from Google's Material 3 Expressive design language to Google Wallet, freshening up its look with a more modern aesthetic.
Some folks spotted Google Wallet's Material 3 Expressive makeover last week, but Google is now rolling it out more widely on version 25.24.772650276 of the app.
With the update, Google Wallet now has new icons and rounded rectangle containers that are a trademark of the Material 3 Expressive look. You'll also notice a new Google Wallet logo in the top left corner of the app instead of the 'Wallet' text. Buttons are also getting a bit of an update, and you'll now notice a more minimalistic '+' FAB (floating action button) instead of the 'Add to Wallet' button.
Nothing much is changing in terms of functionality, so you don't have to relearn how to use the app. The new design may make it more intuitive and pleasurable to use.
Google Wallet isn't the only app the company is updating with the new design. We recently spotted Material 3 Expressive changes in Gmail, while Google's Phone app also just received its expressive update. In fact, all Google apps are due to get an expressive refresh sooner or later.

Michael Saylor's Strategy to Join Wall Street Elite With $14 Billion Windfall
(Bloomberg) — Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) is likely to register an unrealized gain of about $14 billion in the second quarter, putting the once floundering enterprise software maker turned leveraged Bitcoin proxy among the select ranks of corporate titans such as Inc (AMZN). and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Unlike the ten or so US multinationals whose operating profits are expected to exceed $10 billion last quarter by generating billions of dollars in sales, the former MicroStrategy Inc. can attribute the eye-popping results to a rebound in the price of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and a fairly recent accounting change when it comes to valuing its massive holdings of the cryptocurrency. Strategy is forecast to post only about $112.8 million in second-quarter revenue from the software business, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. The likely record profit for the three months ended June 30 follows a barrage of criticism from naysayers such as Jim Chanos. The renowned short-seller has recommended an arbitrage trade to short the shares of Strategy and buy Bitcoin, betting the large premium the stock commands over the value of its token holdings will shrink. The call has sparked a war of words that has captivated Wall Street, with Chanos calling Saylor's model to value the crypto-treasury firm 'financial gibberish' while Saylor argued that Chanos just does not understand it. 'Saylor definitely has a right to feel vindicated,' said Mark Palmer, an analyst at Benchmark Capital, who has maintained a 'buy' rating on Strategy since February 2024. 'He's had people criticizing him for more than four years now and his company has outperformed all other stocks and even the S&P by a long mile.' Strategy's shares have soared over 3,300% since Saylor began buying Bitcoin in the middle of 2020 as a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin is up around 1,000% during the same period, while the S&P 500 has increased around 115%. The stock rose 40% in the second quarter as the S&P climbed 11%. In the first quarter, Strategy adopted an accounting change that requires valuing the firm's now roughly $64 billion in Bitcoin at market prices. Strategy and fellow corporate buyers of Bitcoin are now recognizing the unrealized changes that often produce big swings in earnings. Strategy posted a record $4.2 billion loss the first quarter, which saw Bitcoin slump 12%. Prior to the accounting change, Strategy had been classifying its Bitcoin holdings similar to intangible assets like patents or trademarks. That designation forced Strategy to permanently mark down the value of its holdings when the price of Bitcoin dropped below the previous carrying value. Gains could only be recognized when tokens were sold. The company held 528,185 Bitcoin at the beginning of the quarter, worth over $43.5 billion when the tokens traded for about $82,444.71 each on March 31. The 30% appreciation in Bitcoin increased the market value of those holdings by over $13 billion alone, and the dozen weekly purchases since have tacked on over $600 million more to the unrealized gains, according to Bloomberg News calculations. Strategy is expected to release second-quarter results in August. A company representative didn't reply to a request for comment. Even though the change in accounting was widely known, the first-quarter loss has triggered several class-action lawsuits alleging Strategy executives made untrue and misleading statements that resulted in harm to shareholders. Strategy said it intended to 'vigorously defend against these claims' in a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Over the last five years, Strategy co-founder and Chairman Saylor has become a phenomenon on both Wall Street and in the crypto industry by turning his slowly-weathering business intelligence software company into the first and largest leveraged Bitcoin proxy in the world. 'I think what you're just seeing is the understanding of the value of owning Bitcoin on your balance sheet against the macro backward drop of inflation globally and the need to find a suitable vehicle to store your wealth,' said Ravi Doshi, a trader at FalconX. Funding of the buying binge has evolved into an elaborate combination of common stock and debt sales that has progressed to convertible offerings, and most recently, preferred share sales. Hedge funds have been driving demand for the convertible debt, as they seek out the company for trades that incorporate buying the bonds and selling the shares short, essentially betting on the underlying stock's volatility. Saylor's Bitcoin accumulation tactic has inspired dozens of copycats looking to emulate his success. Other companies are also altering the playbook to use other crypto tokens — Sharplink Gaming Inc., for example, is accumulating Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, while Upexi Inc. recently raised $100 million to buy the Solana token. BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. announced a $250 million private placement to fund an Ether treasury on Monday. 'It remains to be seen whether these companies would be successful or not,' Palmer said.
