Saylor's treasury machine kept printing BTC through MSTR stock issuance even as the preferred-equity leg of the capital stack ran into a price slide worth flagging.
A widely-followed trader argues anyone buying now believing the bottom is in is making a mistake, with chart structure pointing to a $54K retest.
The channel sees BTC pinned between a downtrending resistance band around $70K to $74K and a rising 200-week moving average, with the four-year cycle still pointing to a deeper flush before any…
Full-RBF is already network policy, so the old opt-in flag is now dead weight that tags which wallet broadcast a transaction. The harder problem is agreeing on a common default to replace it.
The 'never sell' pledge is colliding with debt service, dividends, and buybacks as some European treasury vehicles start treating BTC as working liquidity rather than a permanent reserve.
The plaintiffs' case rests on 39,069 addresses being abandoned — but 52 of those very addresses have moved 34,335 BTC since filing, including coins attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto.
MicroStrategy has stacked 499,096 BTC through 67 weekly purchases since 2020 — every hint from Saylor has preceded a disclosure, and this one dropped hours before the typical Monday filing window.
Historically, every time the MVRV Z-Score has reset below zero — 2011, 2015, 2018, 2020 and mid-2022 — Bitcoin has spent months, not days, in the buy zone, with a multi-year bull run following each…
CryptoQuant flags a bull-phase signal — daily transactions above 800K and LTH supply at 4.37M BTC — but 80% of that volume is sub-0.01 BTC dust from Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20, complicating the read…
The cascading margin call in a $10B category of BTC-treasury-linked preferreds — a brand-new corner of the market — is a stress lesson: a perpetual preferred can keep paying its 11-13% dividend and…
CryptoQuant's Network Activity Index has climbed above its long-term trend for the first time since mid-2024 — yet the surge is concentrated in sub-0.01 BTC transfers and OP_RETURN data writes, not…
A mining-industry whale rotating freshly withdrawn coins into Spark's lending market signals more than just accumulation — it's miners treating balance-sheet ETH as a working asset, not idle…
The pitch is structural, not incremental: merchants keep BTC by default, settle onchain in roughly 12 hours, and pay 0.2% split with miners — a direct counter to Block's fiat-conversion rails.
The same cohort of metrics that called the 2019 top — Google Trends, Coinbase app rank, YouTube subs and views, Twitter followers — are all rolling over together, and there is no looser-money…
The 20 millionth bitcoin was mined in March 2026 — over 95% of the total. The remaining million will take a century to issue, and the post-issuance economics hinge on whether fees can replace the…
The shift from ~44% in 2023 to ~80% today is being driven by OP_RETURN-based protocols like Runes and Ordinals, not by larger value transfers — and the mempool is already showing it.
The unanimous hold masked a hawkish dot-plot: nearly half the FOMC now sees a hike as possible before year-end, just as a US-Iran deal pulls oil back toward $76 and pulls CPI expectations with it.
The payoff cleaned up the capital stack but cut preferred-stock dividend runway by two-thirds — and a debt-free competitor paying daily dividends now sits next door as the cleaner trade.
Spot trades at a 15% discount to Glassnode's True Market Mean, short-term holders remain 10% underwater, and realized losses still dominate — yet order-book depth, negative gamma around $68K, and…
The narrative is louder than the on-chain footprint: Musk's public disclosure is still the 0.25 BTC from 2020, but SpaceX and Tesla together hold more than 30,000 BTC, and the chart is consolidating…
