Introduzione

Strategy, a leading Bitcoin treasury company, has expanded its holdings with a new purchase of 2,932 BTC, valued at approximately $264.1 million. This acquisition, funded through stock offerings, brings the company's total Bitcoin reserves to 712,647 BTC, representing about 3.57% of the circulating supply. These holdings are currently valued at $62.23 billion, reflecting an unrealized gain. In related news, Bitmine, another major corporate holder, added 40,302 ETH to its treasury and has staked over 2 million ETH, claiming to be the world's largest staker. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced significant net outflows of $1.33 billion last week, the highest since February 2025, nearly erasing the previous week's gains. Bitcoin's price has declined over 5% in the past week, trading around $88,000.

Bitcoin treasury company Strategy has unveiled its latest purchase of the cryptocurrency, this time tokens worth a total of $264.1 million.

Strategy Has Expanded Its Bitcoin Treasury By 2,932 BTC

In a new post on X, Strategy co-founder and chairman has shared the details related to the latest Bitcoin acquisition from the company. In total, the new purchase has added 2,932 tokens to the firm’s treasury at an average price of $90,061 per token.

According to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the buy took place between January 20th and 25th. Strategy funded the $264.1 million acquisition using proceeds from its STRC and MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offerings.

In the last two weeks, the company has made purchases involving a substantial size. Last week, the company added Bitcoin worth $2.13 billion, while the week before that, it spent $1.25 billion on the cryptocurrency. Compared to these, the latest buy isn’t too big, but nonetheless showcases continued resolve for accumulation from Saylor’s firm.

Following the latest purchase, Strategy’s Bitcoin reserves have grown to 712,647 BTC, equivalent to about 3.57% of the asset’s total circulating supply. Currently, these holdings are worth around $62.23 billion, up nearly 15% over the company’s investment of $54.19 billion.

Strategy is the largest digital asset corporate holder in the world, with its closest competition being Bitmine, a BTC mining company that pivoted to an Ethereum treasury strategy last year.

According to a Monday press release, Bitmine has also participated in accumulation during the past week, adding 40,302 ETH ($116.5 million) to its holdings. The firm’s total treasury reserve has now risen to 4,243,338 ETH ($12.24 billion), corresponding to a supply share of 3.52%.

Recently, Bitmine has been putting its Ethereum toward staking to earn a passive interest on its holdings. In the past week, the company has increased its locked stake by 171,264 ETH, taking total staked supply to more than 2 million tokens. “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world,” said Tom Lee, Bitmine chairman.

In some other news, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a high amount of net outflows in the past week, according to data from SoSoValue.

As displayed in the above graph, the weekly Bitcoin spot ETF netflow measured at -$1.33 billion last week. This is the highest outflow that these investment vehicles have witnessed since the end of February 2025.

Just a week prior, the market situation was the complete reverse, as spot ETFs saw net inflows amounting to $1.42 billion. The latest streak of outflows, however, have nearly entirely retraced this growth.

Key Lawmaker 'Relents', Wash's Biggest Obstacle to Assuming Fed Chair on May 15 Cleared

Key political opposition to Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve Chair has been removed after Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) withdrew his objection, clearing the way for a committee vote on April 29. Tillis had previously blocked the nomination due to a criminal investigation into current Chair Jerome Powell, which he viewed as a threat to Fed independence. The Justice Department has since dropped the investigation. Warsh, who has broad Republican support, is expected to be confirmed by the Senate in time for Powell’s term expiration on May 15. If confirmed, Warsh has signaled significant policy changes, including abolishing the "dot plot" of interest rate projections and reevaluating the Fed’s forward guidance framework. These changes could fundamentally alter the market’s pricing mechanisms for stocks, bonds, and currencies. Although the criminal case against Powell is closed, uncertainty remains as he retains his board seat until 2028. President Trump has not fully endorsed Powell, citing an ongoing review of Fed renovation spending. Warsh’s potential reforms target the communication tools developed post-2008, which have become foundational to global asset pricing.

Lowering Expectations for BTC's Next Bull Market

The author, Alex Xu, explains his decision to significantly reduce his Bitcoin holdings (from full to ~30% of his portfolio) during the current bull cycle, citing a lowered long-term outlook for BTC's price appreciation in the next cycle. He outlines six key reasons for this reduced expectation: 1. **Diminished Growth Drivers:** The narrative of exponential user adoption has largely played out with institutional ETF adoption. The next major growth phase—adoption by sovereign national reserves or central banks—seems unlikely in the near future. 2. **Personal Opportunity Cost:** More attractive investment opportunities have emerged in other assets, such as undervalued companies. 3. **Industry-Wide Contraction:** The broader crypto industry is struggling, with most Web3 business models (SocialFi, GameFi, DePIN) failing. This overall萧条 (depression) reduces the fundamental demand and consensus for Bitcoin. 4. **Strain on Major Buyer:** MicroStrategy, a major corporate buyer of BTC, faces rising financing expenses for its debt, which could slow its purchasing rate and create significant marginal pressure on the market. 5. **Increased Competition from Gold:** The emergence of "tokenized gold" has closed the functional gap (portability, divisibility) between physical gold and Bitcoin, offering a strong competitor in the non-sovereign store-of-value space. 6. **Security Budget Concerns:** The block reward halving continues to exacerbate the long-standing issue of funding Bitcoin's network security, with new fee source explorations like Ordinals and L2s largely failing. The author's decision to hold a significant (though reduced) position reflects a cautious, not bearish, outlook. He remains open to increasing his exposure if the fundamental reasons for his skepticism change or if new positive catalysts emerge.

Prediction Markets Cannot Exist Without Insider Trading, But Insider Trading Is Killing Them

Prediction markets face a fundamental contradiction: they rely on insider trading to generate accurate prices, yet this same activity erodes public trust and threatens their survival. Recent scandals, such as a U.S. special forces member making $400,000 on Polymarket using classified information about a raid, highlight the severity of the issue. While platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi market themselves as venues where "everyone is an expert" and encourage informed trading, they also enforce policies against illegal insider trading. The core dilemma is that these markets depend on informed insiders for price efficiency but require uninformed retail participants to provide liquidity. If insider trading is too rampant, retail traders leave, perceiving the market as unfair. If restrictions are too strict, valuable information flow dries up, reducing the market’s predictive utility. The challenge is finding a balance that maintains both accuracy and perceived fairness—a task complicated by regulatory pressures and recurring scandals.

Can Iran 'Control' the Strait of Hormuz?

Iran has announced a comprehensive plan to assert control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping chokepoint. The proposed measures include requiring all vessels to obtain Iranian permission for passage, imposing fees for security, environmental protection, and navigation management—preferably paid in Iranian rials—and absolutely banning Israeli ships. Vessels from countries deemed hostile by Iran’s top security bodies may also be barred. Analysts suggest Iran’s motives are multifaceted: increasing pressure on the U.S. and Israel by leveraging control over oil transit to influence global prices and inflation; creating a new revenue stream, potentially exceeding $7.7 billion annually, to counter Western sanctions and support postwar reconstruction; and using transit permissions as bargaining chips in future negotiations, notably with the U.S. However, the plan faces significant practical and diplomatic challenges. Enforcing comprehensive interception and fee collection in the busy waterway, patrolled by international military forces, would be difficult. The U.S. has already countering with a blockade of Iranian ports and threats to intercept any ship paying fees, potentially strangling Iran’s oil exports and fee revenue. Broad international opposition, led by European and Gulf states, and legal controversies further complicate implementation. The proposal may ultimately serve more as a negotiating tactic than a feasible policy, with its execution remaining highly uncertain.

Vertically Integrated Capital Aggregators: How Does Web3 Build an Impregnable Moat?

"Vertical Integration Capital Aggregators: How Web3 Builds Unbreachable Moats" explores how leading Web3 protocols create competitive advantages by vertically integrating multiple ecosystem components. Unlike Web2 aggregators that focus on user demand or supplier commoditization, successful Web3 entities like Hyperliquid aggregate capital, liquidity, users, and distribution into a unified financial ecosystem. This integration allows for efficient capital deployment—Hyperliquid generates $0.30 in fees per $1 of TVL annually, compared to Aave's $0.05—while creating a defensible moat that is difficult to replicate across six simultaneous fronts. However, this model comes with risks: DeFi loses $0.50 to hacks for every $1 earned, pushing protocols toward partial centralization and closed systems for security and scalability. The token serves as a shared incentive layer, aligning stakeholders and driving value through mechanisms like buybacks. The article concludes that vertical integration, not capital itself, is the true moat, and that the industry is evolving toward pragmatic, partially centralized models to ensure economic growth and sustainability.
