The reserve includes proceeds from shares that had been sold but had not settled by July 10. Strategy did not issue STRC, STRF, STRD or STRK preferred shares during…

Bitcoin fell below $63,000 after another rejection from the upper boundary of its short-term trading channel, shifting the immediate focus toward support near $61,700. BTC traded near $62,880, down about 1.4% over 24 hours, after moving between $62,580 and $64,273. The pullback erased an early-session attempt to hold above $64,000 and returned price below the midpoint of the latest range. The rejection extends a pattern that has repeatedly capped Bitcoin between $64,000 and $65,000. Buyers briefly pushed BTC through $63,000…

Former Meta and Google engineer Patrick Shyu has warned that Bitcoin faces two long-term threats from quantum computing and the declining rewards paid to miners. Shyu, known online as TechLead, called quantum security and miner incentives “two ticking time bombs” that Bitcoin has yet to defuse. He argued that the network lacks a cohesive migration plan for wallets exposed to future quantum attacks. His second concern centers on Bitcoin’s security budget. Roughly 95% of the 21 million BTC supply has…

Bitcoin is moving closer to a long-term support level tracked by Fidelity as BTC trades near the lower end of its 2026 range. Jurrien Timmer, Fidelity’s director of global macro, placed Bitcoin inside a potential accumulation zone, with the market approaching its power law support line. “At $60k it’s getting ever closer to its power law support line,” Timmer wrote.

Bitcoin remains in bear-market territory under a three-indicator onchain model, despite BTC recovering toward $64,100 after its latest move through the low-$60,000 range. Analyst Ali Martinez’s bear-market signal combines adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio, the Puell Multiple and Reserve Risk. Each metric has been rebased by subtracting one, placing its neutral threshold at zero, while the aSOPR reading is multiplied by 10 to align the three series on the same chart.

Japanese lender CRYL has launched Bitcoin-backed loans of up to ¥1 billion, or about $6.2 million, giving individuals and businesses access to yen without selling their BTC. The Bitcoin-backed loan service opened on July 9 with borrowing amounts ranging from ¥1 million to ¥1 billion. Annual interest rates run from 3.5% to 7%, while borrowers can select a loan-to-value ratio between 40% and 60% in five-percentage-point increments. Bitcoin is the only eligible collateral. CRYL offers separate contracts for individuals, sole…

A SpaceX-labeled Bitcoin wallet made its first onchain move in six months, sending an $88 BTC test transaction to another address also tagged to the company. The transfer moved from a legacy address beginning with 15atF to a newer bech32 address beginning with bc1q9. The amount was too small to carry market impact, but the movement drew attention because SpaceX controls one of the largest known corporate Bitcoin treasuries. The transaction does not show a sale. The BTC moved between…

Bitcoin’s latest rally is running into a leverage-heavy market structure, with perpetual traders crowding into longs while spot demand fails to keep pace. A CryptoQuant QuickTake on FRRS, LIR, NFI and IWCR readings flagged a sharp flip in the Funding Rate Regime Score, showing a move into a crowded long regime. Positive funding means long traders are paying shorts to keep positions open, a structure that can amplify upside during momentum bursts but leaves the market exposed when price stalls.…
