Theme Bitcoin (BTC)

When Michael Saylor proposes to Apple to exchange its shares for bitcoin, it's not a joke... or maybe a crypto revolution wrapped in an iPhone, who knows?

What many thought unlikely is now becoming reality: American spot Bitcoin ETFs are set to surpass the symbolic milestone of $1 trillion in transaction volume. In less than 18 months, these financial products have transformed the stock market landscape, establishing Bitcoin as an essential asset in traditional markets. A meteoric rise driven by unprecedented institutional enthusiasm.

As financial markets grope in an uncertain geopolitical climate, bitcoin has once again crossed a key threshold: 110,000 dollars. This level, abandoned for two weeks, marks a technical break that goes beyond a simple rebound. Indeed, such a movement is part of a reconfiguration of the forces at work in the crypto market, where price dynamics, speculative positions, and institutional arbitrage seem to be entering a new phase.

Bitcoin. A word that resonates, that frightens, that fascinates – and which, on June 9th, has once again shaken all the codes. Skeptics will see it as just another temporary spike. But those who observe the surface trembling sense what is brewing beneath: a tectonic shift of ambition, audacity, and, to be frank, pure instinct. A look back at a surge that saw a millionaire make one of the boldest bets of the year, while the finance world grips its seat.

Michael Saylor says fears over quantum computing breaking Bitcoin are overblown. He believes the network can adapt and tech giants won’t risk their own security.

Bitcoin has never been known for rewarding the obvious. As its price rises to over $105,000, many leveraged traders are taking a surprising position: they are betting heavily on its decline. Behind this seemingly rational behavior may lie a misunderstanding of the deep mechanisms of the crypto market — or worse, a repetition of past mistakes.

Strategy proceeds openly: accumulate bitcoin at any price. However, when the company announces a fundraising of one billion dollars and Michael Saylor subsequently publishes an enigmatic post, the strategy takes on a whole new dimension. Within hours, the markets stir, and speculation resumes. The businessman rekindles the interest of the entire ecosystem and reinforces the idea that Strategy is much more than a tech company: a strong institutional signal in favor of bitcoin.

Bitcoin, freedom or global tracking? When a family buries their cryptos in every corner of the globe, it’s because fortune also attracts handcuffs... but not always thieves.

When Changpeng Zhao, aka CZ, takes to the pen — or rather his keyboard — the crypto ecosystem listens carefully. On June 7, 2025, the former head of Binance struck again with a tweet that was both provocative, ironic, and full of meaning, merging the echoes of Winston Churchill's speeches with his own philosophy of "HODL." The result: a powerful message that encapsulates the mindset of millions of crypto investors around the world.

Solana is shaking, XRP is plummeting, Ethereum is swaying... the whales dance and small investors suffer. The crypto circus continues, without a net, to the rhythm of an increasingly unpredictable market.

Metaplanet, boldly dubbed "the Japanese strategy," is no longer just flirting with bitcoin. It is now entering an economic war with a clear ambition: to own 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026. This is no longer just a bet; it is a manifesto.

Musk plays the cartomancers 2.0: crypto bets on X, algorithms as a crystal ball, and the press relegated to the status of folkloric prediction.

On June 5, BlackRock did nothing. Not a dollar, not a movement, not even a shiver. Its Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, which until now had been a war machine for incoming capital, remained frozen. And this is not trivial. In a market where immobility is often more concerning than panic, this inaction is worth much more than just a simple zero. While others are bleeding, BlackRock stands still. And in this gesture, there may be more strategy than lethargy.

Under pressure in the face of an uncertain economy, markets are watching every move of the Federal Reserve.

The global digital landscape is witnessing the emergence of an invisible yet formidable predator: Crocodilus, a malware for Android with voracious ambitions.

There are stories that one buries with lawsuits, maximum security prisons, and forgotten headlines. Then there is bitcoin, this red thread that one never really cuts. In June 2025, a transaction of 300 BTC, equivalent to 31 million dollars, lands in the wallet of Ross Ulbricht, creator of Silk Road, the legendary black market of the darknet. The catch? This windfall comes from a wallet linked to AlphaBay, its notoriously infamous successor. The past has not said its last word. It returns... in encrypted form.

Nearly 4 billion dollars in options for Bitcoin and Ethereum are set to expire this Friday, June 6, drawing the attention of a pressured market.

In the crypto ecosystem, few announcements redefine the fundamentals. Yet, Cane Island Digital reveals that more than a third of mined bitcoins are permanently lost. Far from being just a statistic, this reality disrupts the understanding of actual supply, increases the asset's scarcity, and questions current valuation models.

And how far could this gradual disappearance reshape the monetary landscape of bitcoin?

This crypto trader, known for his excessive risk-taking, has just lost 25 million dollars in a partial liquidation of his latest Bitcoin position.
