According to Neuner, Bitcoin briefly rose following the announcement because investors had been worried Strategy might eventually become a forced seller. Neuner added that he believes Bitcoin is entering a bottoming process, citing several on-chain and technical indicators. Grayscale Research Chief Called For Bitcoin Sales The announcement follows comments from Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl, who last week argued Strategy...

What Is Strategy (MSTR)? The Bitcoin Treasury Company - What Is Strategy (MSTR)? The Bitcoin Treasury Company This strategy has ultimately been adopted by other publicly traded companies like MARA, Metaplanet and Riot Platforms. In December 2024, Saylor likened this strategy to the development of Manhattan real estate, telling CNBC that, "Every time Manhattan real estate goes up in value, they issue more debt to develop more real estate." The firm signaled in October 2024 that it has no plans on slowing down in the future. At that time, Strategy announced plans to raise up to $42 billion in order to add more of the leading cryptocurrency asset to its balance sheet. Seeking more though, the firm passed a vote in January 2025 to...

Ukraine Takes $8.3M in Seized Crypto Under State Management in a First - Ukraine Takes $8.3M in Seized Crypto Under State Management in a First Ukraine has shifted its approach to managing seized cryptocurrency assets by moving $8.3 million under state control.

Previously, Ukraine's government had seized cryptocurrency assets from illegal activities but had not moved to bring them under formal management. This new step indicates a strategic approach to incorporating these digital assets into the country's economic framework. The decision to manage cryptocurrencies at a state level could...

Strategy CEO Says Bitcoin Conviction Helped Company Survive Multiple 'Near-Death Experiences - Strategy CEO Says Bitcoin Conviction Helped Company Survive Multiple 'Near-Death Experiences Not everyone shares that confidence.

While reaffirming his long-term bullish outlook on Bitcoin itself, Garlinghouse drew a distinction between believing in the asset and relying on increasingly complex financial engineering to acquire it. He argued that long-term value in digital assets should...

El Salvador Claims It’s Buying Bitcoin Daily, But the IMF Disagrees - El Salvador Claims It’s Buying Bitcoin Daily, But the IMF Disagrees That distinction is technically defensible under international public-sector accounting standards, which treat all government-controlled wallets as a consolidated position. However, it is not self-evident from the public-facing reserve tracker, and it leaves El Salvador's one-BTC-a-day narrative in a structurally ambiguous place: the claim may describe internal wallet movements rather than fresh sovereign accumulation, or it may not. Bukele's Bitcoin Brand Versus the Loan's Hard Conditions The political logic of Bukele's sovereign Bitcoin strategy was always layered. BTC purchases were...

Wall Street Veteran Calls Bitcoin, Gold And Silver Selloff A 'Debasement Capitulation' As Home Prices Stall - Wall Street Veteran Calls Bitcoin, Gold And Silver Selloff A 'Debasement Capitulation' As Home Prices Stall Visser maintained that the weakness was temporary. He tied his recovery case to AI agents and tokenization, accelerating the velocity of money, describing the trend as crypto's "third wave." He argued that hundreds of trillions of dollars in currently illiquid assets, including real estate, could become easier to trade as tokenization expands, potentially reshaping economic activity by reducing the role of intermediaries. According to Visser, the thesis remained intact as long as AI adoption continued to advance. The...

Ripple CEO Garlinghouse Calls Strategy's Stretch Slide A 'Damning Indictment,' Stays Bullish On Bitcoin - Garlinghouse Frames Bear Market As Opportunity To Be 'Greedy' Despite the criticism, Garlinghouse reiterated a constructive view on bitcoin, invoking Warren Buffett's maxim to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. "Now is the time, I think, to be greedy," he said. He characterized bitcoin's role as "digital gold", contrasting its portability with physical bullion. Garlinghouse said moving $300 billion of gold, as Germany's central bank had done, took two years and billions of dollars, while an equivalent sum in Bitcoin could be moved quickly. Ripple's Focus and Opportunity in Blockchain...

AI and regulation redefine European retail - AI and regulation redefine European retail The legislation extends beyond digital marketing. AI-powered shopping assistants, virtual stylists, and interactive kiosks must clearly identify themselves as AI systems, while strict limits apply to biometric categorization and emotion recognition technologies used in physical stores. Trust becomes a competitive advantage The rapid growth of AI is changing expectations across retail, but consumer confidence remains essential. Studies continue to show that many shoppers engage less with content they believe has been created entirely by AI. This places greater importance on transparency, authenticity, and responsible use of technology...

The Stablecoin Founder Map Doesn't Match the Stablecoin Volume Map - The Stablecoin Founder Map Doesn't Match the Stablecoin Volume Map B2B stablecoin payments across Latin America grew from under $100 million per month in early 2023 to over $6 billion per month by mid-2025, a 60x increase in 30 months driven by cross-border commerce rather than retail speculation. Consumer stablecoin products carry compounding overhead: compliance costs that scale with user count, fragile local banking relationships, and unit economics that rarely survive small retail transfers. Yellow Card, operating across 34 countries, exited its consumer business entirely to focus on B2B. Bitso built its durable position in the Mexico-U.S. corridor through...
