Bitcoin made no noise. It simply resisted. In a crypto market that crumbled silently, the leading crypto fell, yes, but it fell less than the rest. And in this kind of quarter, "less worse" becomes a performance. The data cited by Glassnode mention a persistent relative weakness in almost all segments against BTC, as if liquidity, instead of exploring, had regrouped around the main mast.

Grayscale shakes up certainties. In its latest report, the asset manager anticipates a new ATH for bitcoin by June 2026, breaking with the traditional four-year cycle. Against a backdrop of rising public debt, inflationary pressure, and a changing regulatory framework in the United States, this projection relies on clear macroeconomic signals.

The Bank of Japan is about to break with three decades of accommodative monetary policy. An almost certain rate hike puts markets under pressure.

There are companies that enter an index like entering a club. And others that enter like triggering an awkward conversation at the table. Strategy clearly belongs to the second category: a listed company, ex-MicroStrategy, becoming primarily a bitcoin accumulation machine. However, during the annual Nasdaq 100 rebalancing announced on December 13, 2025, it did not drop out. The first real test passed since its arrival last December.

However, behind the ecological argument, it is an economic survival logic that dominates, revealing a profound transformation of the mining energy model.

The dominant scenario is no longer the explosion, but waiting. And in this in-between, bitcoin plays a more strategic than euphoric game.
