Saylor published 110 reasons to reject BIP 110 and Adam Back wants backers to fork away. Miner signaling for the proposal has never cleared 1%.
Bitcoin's institutional bull case rested on three supports: steady ETF demand, Strategy's treasury buying, and its digital-gold role. This week the ETFs logged their worst week ever, Strategy fell below the value of its own Bitcoin, and the gold trade unwound. All three broke for the same reason.
Bitcoin closed below $60,000 for the first time since Q3 2024, hitting $58,100 before bouncing. A hot PCE print and $696M in ETF outflows cracked the floor, and derivatives desks are positioned for more.
Kentucky sued Kalshi and Polymarket as illegal sportsbooks on June 17, the same day a Michigan judge ruled sports prediction markets aren't under the CFTC, denting the industry's federal shield.
A US-Iran deal to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz sent oil sliding and Bitcoin above $65,500, a two-week high. The catch: it fixes oil, not crypto's demand problem.
Crypto opened the week green after its worst week since 2024. Strategy resumed buying Bitcoin, SBF filed for a pardon, and MetaMask armed AI agents, with Wednesday's CPI the real test.
Bitcoin fell under $63K as record ETF outflows, Strategy's first BTC sale in years, a Mt. Gox transfer and geopolitics pulled crypto below $2.5 trillion.
SoftBank contributed roughly 10,500 BTC when Twenty One Capital launched. Six months later, Tether bought the entire position, removed SoftBank's board seats, and took uncontested control of a company sitting on 43,514 BTC worth $3.4 billion.
The broad altseason that traders expected after Bitcoin's early 2025 all-time high never arrived. Bitcoin dominance is near its highest level since 2021. The structure of this cycle is different — and the reasons why matter. A few select altcoins will almost certainly outperform Bitcoin this cycle. But the era of throwing a dart at a chart and expecting 50x returns appears to be over.
818,334 BTC. A $12.5 billion Q1 loss. An 11.5% dividend on preferred stock that needs to be paid somehow. Polymarket odds on a Bitcoin sale by year-end jumped from 10% to 82% in one week.
Trump Media transferred 2,650 BTC to Crypto.com on May 22, the second major outflow this year. The company originally bought 11,542 BTC for $1.37 billion. It is now sitting on a $455 million unrealized loss, and last week it withdrew its Bitcoin ETF application.
Metaplanet, a Tokyo Stock Exchange–listed investment firm, has raised approximately $255 million from global institutional investors as it accelerates its strategy to accumulate Bitcoin.
Saylor's company bought 13,927 BTC for $1 billion last week through its STRC program. The rally above $77,000 pushed Strategy's 780,897 BTC treasury back into unrealized profit for the first time since early April.
Michael Saylor is the executive chairman of Strategy and the most public face of corporate Bitcoin adoption. His decision in 2020 to convert the company’s treasury into Bitcoin reshaped how public companies think about reserve assets, and his playbook has been copied by Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, and a growing list of smaller firms across Asia and Europe. The coverage here tracks what matters: Strategy’s Bitcoin buying decisions announced through Saylor on earnings calls and X, the financing innovations like STRC and the convertible note structure that made permanent BTC accumulation possible, his public positions on technical debates from quantum security to self-custody best practices, the Bitcoin price targets and macro thesis he repeats on every podcast and conference stage, and the regulatory and tax positions he takes in Washington and at industry events. Saylor moves markets when he speaks. A single tweet about quantum threats being marketing rather than a real risk shifts sentiment for the rest of the day. His framing of Bitcoin as digital property, the story of the bottom at $60K, the case for digital credit as the next catalyst. Coinliva covers the buying decisions, the public statements, the conference appearances, and the broader question of whether the Saylor model holds up if Bitcoin enters a serious bear market with Strategy’s leverage stack still in place.
