Theme Bitcoin (BTC)

Although Bitcoin is shaking up the markets and gradually establishing itself as a pillar of modern finance, it remains curiously discreet in the columns of major traditional media. In the second quarter of 2025, while crypto reached a new historical peak, its media presence was revealed to be meager. This absence is all the more striking as it does not reflect either the intensity of its adoption or the economic upheavals it brings about. The latest report from the Perception firm presents a clear observation: Bitcoin is unsettling, and some prefer not to talk about it!

The past never dies in the blockchain. More than ten years after the Mt. Gox scandal, a bitcoin address containing the equivalent of 8.7 billion dollars resurfaces... targeted by a phishing attempt as discreet as it is ambitious. At the crossroads of cybercrime and digital memory, this new episode raises a troubling question: are the forgotten treasures of bitcoin doomed to become the eternal prey of modern fraudsters?

While crypto ETFs are hitting record highs, volumes are evaporating. Blackrock and Fidelity are leading the influx, but the market seems to be holding its breath. Boom on the surface, empty underneath?

As Bitcoin gallops ahead, altcoins are sharpening their weapons in the shadows... What if the king soon fell from his throne? Guaranteed suspense in the crypto arena.

Larry Fink endorses bitcoins faster than miners can produce them. While staking is making its appearance, the ETF is turning BTC into a nice, juicy pawn.

When an Asian soup brand turns into a bitcoin vault... DDC buys, cashes in, and starts over: 368 BTC later, the markets are hungry for a new model.

While Strategy, a pioneer in bitcoin balance sheets, temporarily suspends its purchases, two listed companies are opting for the opposite trajectory. Metaplanet and Semler Scientific are heavily betting on BTC, redefining the balance of power in the market. In a context of macroeconomic uncertainty and persistent volatility, these bold acquisitions raise questions: Is this a mere speculative bet or a sustainable strategic repositioning?

Strategy, ex-MicroStrategy, is intensifying its bet on Bitcoin with a record raise of $4.2 billion through perpetual preferred shares at 10%. Under the leadership of Michael Saylor, the firm is strengthening its accumulation strategy despite a noticeable pause in its BTC purchases. This tactical shift, between liquidity seeking and financial optimization, marks a new phase in the controversial alliance between traditional markets and cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is advancing, unperturbed, flirting with $110,000. The bullish momentum seems unstoppable, but beneath the surface, signals are multiplying. Trapped liquidity, extreme euphoria, macro tensions: this week could very well be the one for crossing over... or a false start.

Investor confidence stays strong as crypto ETPs see $1.04B in inflows, with Bitcoin leading and Ethereum gaining traction.

Elon Musk’s fallout with President Trump has taken on a new twist after the Tesla CEO announced the formation of a new political party which will accept Bitcoin. According to Musk, this third force party will aim to unseat lawmakers who supported the “Big Beautiful Bill”, which he believes would send the American economy crashing.

Bitcoin may be trading near all-time highs, but on-chain activity shows very different things. Despite BTC hovering around $109,000, the network’s mempool, the queue of unconfirmed transactions waiting to be included in a block, is almost empty. As of Saturday, fewer than 5,000 transactions were waiting in line. That's dramatically lower than the 150,000+ seen during Bitcoin’s last major run-up in late 2024.

Bitcoin shows remarkable strength, even in a slowing market. Its market capitalization now exceeds 2 trillion dollars, and importantly, 93% of BTC wallets are currently in profit. This display of strength speaks volumes about the resilience of the queen of cryptos.

The debate on leaving the euro is resurfacing regularly in France. With new presidential elections set for 2027, a victory for the National Rally could lead to an exit from the euro. The French could very well come out of it ruined!

While the novices hesitate, the whales fill their coffers with bitcoin... A setup or mammalian instinct? One thing is certain: they never swim by chance.

Bitcoin slipped to $107K despite ETF inflows, as global trade concerns, low activity, and whale wallet moves spooked investors.

Dreams are crumbling. The trajectory of Ethereum, once hailed, is dangerously wobbling. Just as a surge towards $3,000 seemed within reach, the tide is turning. Technical indicators are darkening, support levels are giving way, and the specter of a plunge into the abyss looms. Yet, at the same time, contrary signals are lighting up. Ether is falling, but funds are pouring in. A paradox that intrigues as much as it confounds.

Corporate Bitcoin treasury firms have become an emerging trend in the last few years, with companies like Strategy adopting an aggressive ownership approach. But some market experts have expressed concern over this capital reserve strategy, arguing that it lacks purpose and may not stand the test of time. 

As Bitcoin flirts with its historical highs without managing to break through, a technical indicator is catching the attention of experts: the decline in open interest over 90 days. This subtle signal could well open a strategic accumulation window.

The quantum threat is not for tomorrow morning, but recent breakthroughs suggest that the Bitcoin community made the right move to initiate major maneuvers.

On July 4, 2025, a Bitcoin wallet that had been inactive since 2011 suddenly moved 80,000 BTC, worth $8.6 billion. The transaction, eclipsing all previous records, is as intriguing as it is fascinating. No words, no announcements, just a massive movement captured by the blockchain. Both rare in its volume and exceptional due to the age of the funds, this act by an anonymous holder raises questions about the hidden dynamics of the market and the intentions of large whales.

While Bitcoin mining now seems to be reserved for industrial giants equipped with powerful ASICs, an improbable feat challenges this logic. A solo miner, armed with only 2.3 PH/s, mined a block on his own via Solo CK, earning about $350,000. This almost impossible statistical achievement recalls the more open beginnings of the network. In an increasingly centralized ecosystem, this isolated victory revives the fundamental question: is the Bitcoin network still accessible to independents?

Bitcoin could resume a strong northbound movement once US President Donald Trump approves the much-anticipated “Big Beautiful Bill” on Independence Day. Projections within crypto circles are already betting on the apex asset to test the $150,000 mark as Trump puts his signature on the massive spending proposal. Since BTC has often recorded double-digit rallies in weeks following the signing of such large spending packages, market participants are predicting a similar outcome to play out.

While the institutional enthusiasm for Bitcoin seemed sufficient to fuel a new bull run, the on-chain reality tells a different story. Despite persistent buying from ETFs and publicly traded companies like MicroStrategy, the market is experiencing a brutal drop in overall demand, amounting to 895,000 BTC. This invisible yet decisive contraction calls into question the hopes for a new short-term peak.

What is the Bitcoin price outlook for 2025? Several notable events, including rate cuts, geopolitical tensions, and tariff impositions, marked the second quarter of the year. During this period, Bitcoin alternated between several price levels, eventually reaching a new all-time high in May.  However, despite entering Q3 2025 with strong momentum, the apex coin’s dominance appears to have faded of late. As per CoinMarketCap, 75% of the top 100 coins outperformed Bitcoin in the last 90 days. And with the recently concluded FOMC meeting offering zero boost to crypto assets, smart money traders are already asking what’s next for the BTC price.

The International Monetary Fund has rejected Pakistan’s proposal to subsidize electricity for crypto mining operations, citing concerns over market distortions and energy infrastructure strain.

Market activity remains muted as Bitcoin consolidates and altcoins await possible spot ETF approvals, driven by strong institutional interest.

Bitcoin is walking the tightrope above $110,000, triggering technical migraines and contradictory bets among traders: imminent fireworks or a damp squib?
