Crypto Analyst Ted Pillows Points Out Breaking Zone for BTC Upside

Crypto analyst Ted Pillows highlights that Bitcoin (BTC) is consolidating around $68k, with ETFs potentially suppressing a rally. He notes that a break above the $70,000–$71,000 zone is needed for a strong upside, while decent spot bids exist between $60,000–$65,000. Another analyst, Lucky, calls Bitcoin attractive due to its fixed supply of 21 million coins and significant retail ownership (approx. 67%). Amid geopolitical and rate cut uncertainties, BTC is attempting a recovery after a 27.1% monthly drop. Predictions suggest a potential surge to around $76,805 or a more conservative $71,018. The Fed is expected to cut rates in June 2026.

Steak ‘n Shake Reports ‘Dramatic’ Increase In Sales After Bitcoin Adoption

Steak 'n Shake has reported a dramatic increase in same-store sales since adopting Bitcoin as a payment method in May 2025. The company also established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) using proceeds from BTC transactions. In January, it added $15 million to this reserve and introduced a Bitcoin bonus scheme for hourly employees, granting $0.21 in BTC for every hour worked after a two-year vesting period. The firm attributes its success to combining its operations with Bitcoin's transformative power. While treasury company Bitcoin buying has recently declined to 70%, as noted by an analyst, Steak 'n Shake's strategy has proven effective. Bitcoin is currently trading around $68,000.

Bitcoin: Jane Street’s 7.1 mln IBIT buy shows why BTC’s $65k support is fragile

Despite Jane Street's significant purchase of 7.1 million IBIT shares worth $276 million in Q4 2025, Bitcoin continues to face downward pressure. BTC closed the quarter down 24%, and the $65,000 support level remains fragile with five consecutive weekly lower lows. On-chain data indicates rising distribution by long-term holders (LTHs), who are realizing losses and increasing inflows to exchanges. Sentiment is further weakened by ongoing FUD, IBIT's 23% correction in 2026, and a lack of convincing accumulation signals. Overall, HODLing incentive is fading, and Bitcoin shows no clear signs of a bottom.

Bitcoin Didn’t ‘Fail’ Digital Gold: Markets Misread The Thesis, Galaxy’s Thorn Says

Galaxy Digital's head of research, Alex Thorn, refutes the claim that Bitcoin has failed as "digital gold," arguing the term was always about its fundamental monetary properties—scarcity, durability, divisibility, and self-sovereignty—not a guarantee it would trade in lockstep with gold. Thorn emphasizes that Bitcoin's core value proposition, rooted in Satoshi Nakamoto's vision, lies in its unique ability to be transmitted digitally, a feature physical gold lacks. He frames the "digital gold" narrative not as a short-term correlation trade, but as a long-term thesis that the market may eventually value Bitcoin similarly to a monetary metal. Despite recent underperformance relative to gold, Thorn asserts Bitcoin's fundamentals remain strong and unchanged.

Bitcoin Distribution Ends: Mid-Cycle Pause Or Start Of A Longer Bear Market?

Bitcoin has faced persistent selling pressure since its October 2025 all-time high near $125,000, with prices dropping sharply toward $60,000. According to analyst Axel Adler, on-chain data—specifically the Entity-Adjusted Liveliness metric—peaked in December 2025 and has since trended downward, historically signaling the end of distribution and the start of accumulation phases. Previous cycles suggest such transitions can last 1.1 to 2.5 years, implying the current market may be entering a prolonged restructuring period rather than a brief pause. Investors are monitoring both price action and on-chain signals to gauge whether further downside risk or stabilization lies ahead.

$150 Billion in Tax Refunds Could Ignite the Next Bitcoin ‘YOLO’ Rally

Wells Fargo analysts estimate that approximately $150 billion in U.S. tax refunds will be distributed by late March, potentially fueling a speculative "YOLO" rally in risk assets like Bitcoin and stocks. Historically, such liquidity injections—similar to pandemic stimulus checks—have coincided with significant Bitcoin price surges. Strategists suggest a portion of the refunds may flow into cryptocurrencies, acting as a proxy for retail liquidity and risk appetite. While near-term market sentiment remains mixed, a return of retail-driven trading could reverse recent declines. However, which has seen a 29% pullback amid contracting liquidity, may benefit if 5–10% of the refunds enter digital assets, though the rally depends on broader market conditions and sustained speculative momentum.

Could A Bitcoin Price Crash Below $10,000 Wipe Out Strategy? Saylor Shares What To Expect

MicroStrategy, now operating as Strategy, has become a major corporate holder of Bitcoin, though its current BTC investments are in the red. Concerns have been raised about the company's ability to survive a severe market downturn. In response, Michael Saylor shared that the company could withstand a Bitcoin price drop to as low as $8,000—an 88% decline—and still fully cover its $6.0 billion net debt. The firm holds 714,644 BTC, valued at nearly $49 billion at current prices. Even if BTC fell to $8,000, its holdings would still be worth approximately $6.0 billion, matching its debt obligations. Strategy’s that its debt consists of low-interest convertible notes with maturities between 2027 and 2032, not margin loans subject to liquidation calls. This structure allows the company to avoid forced selling during price drops. Despite recent market volatility, Strategy continues to buy Bitcoin, with a recent purchase of 1,142 BTC for $90 million in early February. Saylor reiterated the company’s plan to continue accumulating BTC regularly. While a crash to $10,000 would severely impact equity value, Strategy claims it has structured its finances to endure extreme scenarios.

The Scythe of Bitcoin's Leading Figure: A Record of a Nasdaq Robbery

This investigation details a sophisticated financial scheme orchestrated by David Bailey, CEO of Nakamoto Holdings ($NAKA). Through a reverse merger with a shell company, NAKA's stock skyrocketed from $2 to over $30, luring retail investors while early PIPE investors entered at just $1.12 per share. The stock then collapsed by 99% to $0.29. Amid the crash, Bailey engaged in desperate debt refinancing, accruing massive losses. He then used the crippled public company to acquire his own private firms, BTC Inc and UTXO Management, at a fixed share price of $1.12—nearly four times the market rate. This acquisition, approved by shareholders during the stock's peak without their full understanding, resulted in massive dilution for existing investors. The entire operation, while technically compliant, transferred wealth from retail investors to insiders. Bailey, who compared himself to historical financial dynasties, ultimately used the wreckage of the public company to enrich himself and his private empire, showcasing a brutal intersection of influencer culture and public markets.

Here’s When Bitcoin’s Next Bull Run Is Likely To Kick Off

Bitcoin's recent price decline has ended the current cycle, but a key on-chain indicator suggests when the next bull run might begin. The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric for Long-Term Holders has historically signaled the start of a new bull market when it turns negative, indicating peak pessimism and seller exhaustion. Currently at 0.36, it shows holders are still in profit. Analysts note that when it flips red, it marks maximum depression, coin transfer to stronger hands, and cycle renewal. Additionally, Bitcoin accumulator addresses are aggressively buying, with monthly accumulation reaching 372,000 BTC, indicating long-term confidence and supply absorption.
