Buried inside a new Bitcoin security proposal is a provision that could save stragglers from losing everything.

Anyone who misses the upgrade deadline but still holds their seed phrase would have a path to recovery through zero-knowledge proof technology — a last-resort mechanism built into the final phase of BIP-361, a draft posted to GitHub on Tuesday by cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and five co-authors.

The full proposal is a three-phase plan designed to protect Bitcoin from a threat that has quietly grown more serious: the eventual ability of quantum computers to crack the cryptographic keys protecting early Bitcoin addresses.

Satoshi’s Fortune At The Center Of It All
About 1.7 million BTC sits in old-style addresses known as P2PK — the kind used in Bitcoin’s earliest days. Those addresses expose public keys directly, making them vulnerable once quantum computing reaches sufficient power.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s stash alone is valued at roughly $74 billion at current prices. According to the proposal’s authors, if a bad actor gained quantum access to those coins, the damage to Bitcoin’s value and credibility could be severe.

BIP-361 builds on BIP-360, released in February, which introduced a new quantum-resistant address format called pay-to-Merkle-root, or P2MR. That earlier proposal protects new coins. BIP-361 tackles what BIP-360 left unresolved — the roughly 34% of Bitcoin’s total supply still sitting in vulnerable addresses.

The plan unfolds in stages. Three years after activation, sending BTC to old-style addresses would no longer be allowed. Two years after that, old-format signatures would be invalidated entirely.

Any coins that haven’t been moved by then would be frozen. The third phase — the rescue window — gives late movers a technical route to reclaim funds using proof of seed ownership.

This marks the lowest volatility level since the beginning of the year and signals that a major move is expected for the XRP market.For comparison, in January 2026, volatility reached 10%, after which the price increased by 28% by mid-March. A similar style compression to 7.7% led to a 17% impulse within five days. Today’s 6% stands as a zone of extreme compression, where any large market order could trigger a chain reaction for XRP.

Americans are having a hard time navigating the mounting financial stress. Rising inflation, triggered by key economic factors, is triggering major market stress, weighing hard on investors. Moreover, inflation is swiftly stripping away the usual American standard of living, with higher product prices playing a detrimental role in Americans’ financial status.Also Read: Michael van de Poppe Predicts $85K Bitcoin Rally Before April EndAmericans’ Financial Situation Is Worsening By The DaySource: Investing.comPer the latest post by the Kobeissi Letter, nearly 54% of American consumers are now saying that their financial situation has worsened since last year. A major reason behind this fall has been touted as rising prices, deteriorating their financial status. Moreover, the KL post noted how these statistic numbers have risen 900% since 2021, signalling worsening market dynamics.“Americans have never been this pessimistic about their financial situation: A record 54% of US consumers now say their financial situation is worse compared to a year ago due to higher prices. This has risen +900% since 2021.”Moreover, the current market spiral is pushing Americans to adopt a pessimistic stance, with the majority of them predicting that such high prices have worsened their financial status far more than the 2008 financial crisis. In addition to this, Americans are also expecting inflation to spike even higher, surging by nearly +4.8% next year.“Currently, more Americans believe higher prices have worsened their financial situation than at the height of the 2008 financial crisis. The percentage is even higher than in the 1970s and the 1980s, when the official CPI inflation rate exceeded 10%. Furthermore, US consumers are now expecting inflation to rise +4.8% over the next year, the highest reading since June 2025.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is accumulating Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) once again, as institutional demand for crypto-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) ramps up. The move comes despite ongoing market volatility and heightened bearish sentiment, highlighting how institutional appetite for crypto exposure remains firm even as fear and uncertainty spread across the market.BlackRock Ramps Up Bitcoin And Ethereum BuyingFrom April 6 to 10, BlackRock recorded a strong wave of inflows into its spot crypto ETFs, highlighting sustained institutional demand for digital assets. The recent inflows also signaled a shift in sentiment among investors, who had previously adopted a risk-off stance amid geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic conditions that fueled price declines in the crypto market.  Related Reading: What The Spike In The XRP Volume Means For The Digital AssetIn total, the investment company attracted about $780 million across its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, a staggering figure that shows renewed interest in regulated crypto exposure. SoSoValue reports that the bulk of these inflows went into BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which brought in roughly $612 million. Meanwhile, the firm’s Ethereum ETF, iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), added approximately $168 million over the same period. Source: SoSoValueAs new shares were issued, authorized participants stepped in to facilitate the process, requiring custodians to buy an equivalent amount of real BTC and ETH.

Michael Saylor Revealed That His Company Has Made $1.3 Billion from Bitcoin in Just the Last Two Weeks

According to Michael Saylor, Strategy achieved significant profits from its Bitcoin ($BTC) strategy during the first two weeks of April 2026. Saylor stated that a total profit of 17,585 $BTC was made during this period, which is worth approximately $1.3 billion at current prices.

Saylor noted that this earnings measurement differs from the traditional accounting concept of “net profit,” but stated that, when evaluated within the framework of the “Bitcoin standard,” it is the closest indicator to net profit.

According to data shared by the company, as of April 15th, Strategy’s total $BTC holdings reached 780,897 $BTC. The current market value of this amount is estimated to be approximately $58.1 billion.

Developed by Strategy, the “Bitcoin Gain” metric stands out as one of the key indicators used to measure the company’s performance. This metric measures the increase in the amount of Bitcoin per share as a result of the company purchasing $BTC using funds raised through financial instruments such as stock issuance, convertible bonds, and preferred shares.

This approach deviates from traditional financial reporting standards, offering investors a different value creation model. According to Saylor, while the $BTC Gain metric doesn’t directly represent accounting profit, it serves as the most accurate indicator of the value the company creates for shareholders as part of its Bitcoin strategy.

The Trump family is heavily invested in the digital currency sector, but a disturbing pattern is emerging among their backed companies, with virtually every initiative they have pushed appearing as a poorly managed enterprise headed for default. The Trump-backed projects include DeFi Project World Liberty Financial (WLFI), American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: ABTC), TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins, as well as an assortment of NFT collections.The President’s family has reportedly pocketed more than $1 billion from these investments that are now in deep loss-making territory. Critics have consistently argued that the Trumps are engaged in shady mechanisms that allegedly include pump-and-dump regimes, insider trading, and fraudulent business practices.Let us take a look at each Trump crypto company individually:WLFI was the flagship DeFi platform launched by Eric Trump and his father’s chief Middle East negotiator, Steve Witkoff, in the middle of the 2025 market boom. Initial token sales raised as much as $550 million, which eventually ballooned to $1.2 billion by early 2026, with the Trumps entitled to 75% of the revenues. This new cash cow in the crypto sector proved much more profitable than Eric Trump’s prior conventional business dealings.However, the WLFI token has taken a major hit during the last 6-7 months, after peaking at $0.33 in September 2025. The cryptocurrency now trades around $0.08, reflecting a roughly 76% decline (with recent reports citing up to 80% losses amid controversies over token unlocks and collateral use).This is another Eric Trump investment and a major mining initiative in the country. The firm went public in 2025 and has built a treasury exceeding 7,000 BTC in the process. However, the company’s stock has crashed by 94% recently following a $59 million deficit in the last quarter of 2025.Eric continues to promote his mining firm on s

Cardano’s blockchain is showing signs of real-world traction. This development could help lift its native token ADA from recent weakness, according to one of the network’s largest staking providers.Everstake reported a striking acceleration in on-chain use during the first three months of the year. Daily active addresses climbed 1,464% to 12,000, while the number of daily transactions soared 4,278% to roughly 120,000.Analysts suggest that the synchronized rise in users and activity points to a genuine pickup in demand, which historically has forced markets to reprice assets higher.Yet, ADA is trading at a make-or-break technical level.The token has slipped back to $0.243, a zone that has repeatedly served as a launchpad for price rebounds. Analyst Ali Martinez believes a relief rally toward the $0.30 resistance could happen if buyers can hold that floor. However, a daily close below it would mark a structural breakdown and expose the price to a deeper pullback, potentially to the yearly lows near $0.10.Whales are quietly adding to their positions. Data shows that the number of Cardano wallets containing at least 10 million ADA has jumped 5.2% in the past nine weeks to a four-month high of $0.24. The accumulation is a counterpoint to the broader selling pressure weighing on altcoins.As of press time, ADA’s price is $0.23883, up 0.96% in the last 24 hours and trailing the wider market. The decline reflects a confirmed breach of key support levels and ongoing capital rotation out of smaller tokens, as the Altcoin Season Index continues to slide. Sentiment has also been dented by $291 million in outflows from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on April 13.Traders are now watching two nearby lines. A hold above $0.22 could limit further damage, while a clean break above the $0.24258 pivot might trigger short-term buying. For now, the clash between stronger network usa

Bitdeer hits 70 EH/s in self-mining bitcoin operations, claims top spot by compute
Bitdeer’s total hashrate under management grew to 78.1 EH/s, including its massive self-mining fleet and hosted machines, as of the end of March.

CleanSpark, often ranked among the largest miners by compute, reported an operational hashrate of about 50 EH/s in its latest operations filing on Wednesday.
Bitdeer (NASDAQ: BTDR) produced 661 self-mined bitcoins in March 2026, up 480% from the same month last year, according to its latest operations update. The firm has been ramping up its bitcoin mining business to become a dominant player in the ecosystem.

According to its filing on Wednesday, Bitdeer now commands about 225,000 self-owned rigs, out of the 262,000 it has under management. It is also scaling up to 3.0 gigawatts in global energy capacity, including the operations in the pipeline.

In total, Bitdeer said its self-mining bitcoin operations scaled to about 70 exahashes per second (EH/s), an 504% increase year over year, once again making it the largest miner by computer power. This is a title Bitdeer claimed at the end of last year, when it reported “total hash rate under management” of 71 EH/s, including, at the time, a self-mining hashrate of 55.2 EH/s.

MARA, the next-largest miner, reports a hashrate of 66.4 EH/s on its website. Cleanspark, another major player which also reported data on Wednesday, claims an average operating hashrate of 47.3 EH/s.

Bitdeer's total hashrate under management also grew to 78.1 EH/s, including its self-mined fleet and hosted machines, as of the end of March.

The total global hashrate stands at about 855 EH/s, according to The Block’s data. This is down slightly from the start of the year, though it remains elevated compared to the historical measurement.
