Bitcoin-specific news — protocol activity, scaling layers, and BTC-centric applications.
The proposal freezes legacy signature flows and stages a five-year sunset, with a potential recovery path for users who miss migration.
Strategy's co-founder argues the proposal would turn human judgment into protocol law and risk chain splits by lowering miner approval to 55%, threatening the neutrality that anchors institutional…
With the 10-year hovering near 5%, the bond market is no longer a backstop for BTC; it is the marginal seller every time a soft macro print lands.
The teaser lands a week after Strategy disclosed its latest purchase, reinforcing the firm's status as the largest corporate BTC holder and the price-insensitive bid under the market.
The setup is a fatigue rally, not a reversal: BTC still has to absorb supply from both early and recent buyers before $4.5B of call open interest between $70K and $80K comes back into play.
Project Eleven's zero-knowledge proof makes BIP-361's freeze recoverable for any post-2012 wallet with a seed phrase, but the 1.1 million BTC Satoshi mined before BIP-32 had no derivation tree to…
Saylor's 110-point rebuttal lands as a protocol-level debate over filtering non-monetary transactions is heating up across node operators and miners.
The client tests whether node operators can widen access to Bitcoin block space while preserving consensus and reducing reliance on private relay channels.
The threat to roughly 20% of global oil supply revives inflation risk, weakening the case for rate relief traders expected later in 2026.

The unprecedented stretch points to weaker U.S. institutional demand and keeps near-term selling pressure in focus.
The selloff ties crypto more closely to semiconductor valuations and tests miners’ AI data-center strategies built on scarce, costly compute.
The new client would relax relay policy rather than rewrite consensus, freeing an estimated $25M in Ordinals and Runes padding without needing a single miner's vote.
Day 1,333 from the cycle low and day 283 post-peak land within roughly 100 days of prior cycle bottoms, while a flat DXY echoes Trump's first term and limits near-term relief.
The PR halo is loud but the real test is whether miners can run a payment rail merchants actually trust, and whether anyone outside the press cycle routes volume through it.
The ranking doubles as a snapshot of where Bitcoin supply actually sits: dormant creator wallets, US-regulated exchanges, treasury buyers, and seized government holdings now hold the majority of all…
A weekly death cross, Fidelity's accumulation model, and a 90% macro-low call line up for one analyst, while a 10% tail still leaves room for a wick toward $54K.
