Merged mining is essential for Bitcoin’s decentralization

While MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms diversify into AI and global energy deals, independent Bitcoin (BTC) miners are fighting to keep the lights on. This gap highlights an unsettling reality: Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability is in danger. While Bitcoin’s steadily rising hashrate is often celebrated as a sign of the network’s health — even amid turbulent markets — it tells half the story. Equally important, and far more…

Bitcoin’s Reign Will Continue, Popular American Entrepreneur Says

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer…

Saylor’s Strategy Does Not Aim To Influence Bitcoin’s Price

Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, does not try to influence the price of Bitcoin when it executes buys, according to the executive who oversees the company’s massive BTC treasury. “The way we buy Bitcoin is we do not move the price of the Bitcoin,” Strategy’s corporate treasurer and head of investor relations, Shirish Jajodia, told Natalie Brunell on the Coin Stories podcast on Wednesday. Market participants often speculate that Strategy’s significant Bitcoin (BTC) acquisitions help push the price of Bitcoin, but Jajodia said the company carefully…

Bitcoin’s Next Stop For 2025? $175,000, According To SOL Strategies Boss

The chief executive officer of SOL Strategies has a strong belief in the potential of Bitcoin, despite recent setbacks by the top crypto asset. Leah Wald told members of the press she expects bitcoin to make a steep move before year end. Her baseline? The vaunted $175,000 mark – a price she called a conservative read compared to some loftier forecasts.

Is Bitcoin’s Bull Market Ending? Onchain Data Says Yes

Key takeaways: BTC’s 700% rally from $15,500 to $124,500 suggests a market top in 2 to 3 months, based on past cycles. Bitcoin supply in profit has been elevated for 273 days, signaling a potential cycle peak soon.  Bitcoin risks dropping into the $90,000-$100,000 range if the psychological support at $110,000 is lost. Bitcoin (BTC) is struggling to reclaim $114,000 on Thursday, as a convergence of onchain metrics signals waning bullish momentum and a classic setup for a market late in its cycle.  The Bitcoin market is nearing a cycle…

Bitcoin’s long-term security budget problem: Impending crisis or FUD?

The key selling point of Bitcoin as a store of value has everything to do with the credibility of its monetary policy. As Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto once wrote, the rules of the system were “set in stone” when the network first launched, and those rules included the 21-million-Bitcoin supply cap and the related issuance policy maintained by the roughly four-year halving cycle. But are those rules really set in stone? Is there really no chance Bitcoin’s monetary policy will change at some point in the future?  “The security of…

Who really controls Bitcoin’s price in 2025? Whales, devs or governments, explained

How do whales influence Bitcoin? If anyone comes close to “moving the market,” it’s the whales. These are the investors holding thousands of BTC, often institutions, funds or OG holders from the early days. And in 2025, they’re more active than ever. The number of wallets holding over 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC) has climbed to 1,455 as of May 2025, marking a renewed wave of accumulation. Some of this growth is driven by institutional players: Strategy alone now holds over 580,000 BTC (around 2.76% of total supply), while BlackRock has added…

Is Bitcoin’s Bull Run Nearing Its End? Long-Term Holders Send Mixed Signals

Bitcoin’s momentum has slowed after reaching a new all-time high above $124,000 last week. The cryptocurrency has since moved lower, with its price slipping by nearly 10% from that peak. At the time of writing, BTC is trading around $115,424, reflecting a 2.5% decline in the past 24 hours. The retracement has drawn attention to on-chain activity and investor behavior, particularly among long-term holders (LTHs). A CryptoQuant analyst has been monitoring realized profit and loss metrics to gauge whether the current cycle is approaching its peak or if more upside…
