Bitcoin refuses to collapse despite deepening global crisis: ‘Nice sign of life’

Despite escalating geopolitical tensions and fears of a global economic slowdown, Bitcoin has shown resilience by holding above the critical $60,000 support level and even advancing, trading at $66,472.88 at press time. This strength is reflected in related equities, with MicroStrategy (MSTR) and mining companies like MARA and Riot Platforms posting gains. MicroStrategy further increased its Bitcoin holdings, although its average purchase price remains above current levels. However, risks persist, including potential oil shocks and a worsening geopolitical landscape, as highlighted by former President Trump’s warnings. VanEck’s CEO cautions that this may represent a bottom formation rather than a full bull market, noting Bitcoin is still significantly below its 2025 high. The market currently shows signs of stability but remains vulnerable to external shocks.

MARA quietly ends pure HODL era as Bitcoin becomes liquidity tool

Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) has shifted its Bitcoin strategy from a long-term holding approach to actively using it as a liquidity tool. According to its 2025 annual report, the company began selling portions of its mined Bitcoin in the second half of the year to fund operations, capital expenditures, and strategic initiatives. While not pursuing aggressive liquidation, MARA now treats Bitcoin as a financial instrument to enhance flexibility, including using it as collateral. As the second-largest public corporate Bitcoin holder with 52,850 BTC worth approximately $3.5 billion, this policy change reflects a maturation in treasury management amid the company’s expansion into AI and high-performance computing, which require significant investment.

Beyond Islamic Doctrine, Iran Needs Bitcoin

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Iranians are increasingly turning to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and USDT as a safe haven for their assets, seeking protection from the rapid devaluation of the national currency, the rial. Following recent military actions, outflow from Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, surged by 700%, with over $10 million in crypto assets leaving the country in just four days. Iran’s economy, heavily constrained by U.S. sanctions and high inflation, faces persistent currency instability. The rial has plummeted from 32,000 to over 1.5 million per dollar since 2015, driving demand for stable assets. Despite Islamic教义’s restrictions on speculative financial activities, both the public and state entities use crypto for preservation and evasion. The government exhibits a dual stance: tolerating crypto for useful purposes like bypassing sanctions—state-linked groups have moved billions in crypto—while periodically restricting access to protect the rial. Meanwhile, illegal crypto mining consumes significant electricity, worsening national power shortages. Over 95% of mining is unlicensed, often protected by privileged groups, including religious and military sites, straining resources and causing blackouts for ordinary citizens. Cryptocurrency remains a critical, if controversial, lifeline in Iran’s unstable economy.

Currency and Stock Barometer丨Strategy Invested $204 Million to Purchase 3,015 Bitcoins Last Week; US-Listed Company GD Culture Board Approved Sale of 7,500 Bitcoins Last Week (March 3)

Crypto Market Weekly Roundup: Strategy Invests $204M in Bitcoin, GD Culture to Sell Holdings Last week saw significant activity among crypto treasury companies amid ongoing market volatility. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) led Bitcoin acquisitions, purchasing 3,015 BTC for $204.1 million—a 412.8% increase from the previous week—bringing its total holdings to 720,737 BTC. In contrast, NASDAQ-listed GD Culture approved the sale of its entire 7,500 BTC reserve to fund a stock repurchase plan, reflecting the financial pressure some firms face. Meanwhile, Ethereum treasury company FG Nexus sold 7,550 ETH (worth $14.06 million), accumulating an unrealized loss of approximately $82.8 million. ETHZilla rebranded to Forum Markets and pivoted to RWA tokenization, while Bitmine added 50,928 ETH ($98.53 million) to its holdings. Other notable updates include American Bitcoin reporting over 6,000 BTC in reserves and $185.2 million in annual revenue, and Solana treasury firm DeFi Development making a strategic investment in stablecoin protocol Apyx. Global public companies (excluding miners) now hold 981,150 BTC, accounting for 4.9% of the circulating supply. Market analysts suggest a potential consolidation trend among crypto treasury companies in 2026, especially for those trading below net asset value.

$1.3 Billion in Debt: Bitdeer Has a Tough Battle to Fight

Bitdeer, one of the world's largest publicly listed Bitcoin mining firms, is undergoing a high-stakes strategic pivot from cryptocurrency mining to AI infrastructure, financed by over $1.3 billion in debt. The company recently sold its entire Bitcoin reserve—943.1 BTC—to boost liquidity for this transition. The core of Bitdeer’s new strategy involves developing large-scale data centers to supply computing power for AI and high-performance computing (HPC). It currently has a pipeline of 3,002 MW in power capacity globally—enough to support 10–30 hyperscale data centers like those of Google or Microsoft. Key projects include a 570 MW site in Ohio (facing a legal challenge from a local steel manufacturer) and a 175 MW site in Norway being converted to AI use. The company has raised capital through multiple convertible notes and equity offerings, with much of the debt scheduled to mature between 2029 and 2032. Annual interest expenses are estimated at over $65 million, currently supported largely by continued borrowing. While Bitcoin mining remains its primary revenue source, its profitability is declining due to rising network difficulty. Bitdeer’s AI business currently contributes less than 2% of total revenue, but management projects potential annual revenues of up to $2 billion if GPU capacity is fully utilized and long-term client contracts are secured. The company is also developing its own ASIC chips to improve margins. The success of this ambitious transformation depends on timely project execution, favorable legal outcomes, and the ability to attract major AI clients before debt obligations come due. The market remains skeptical—reflected in a falling share price—until tangible AI revenue materializes.

Bitcoin Demand Growing For First Time Since November, Data Shows

On-chain data indicates Bitcoin's spot demand is growing for the first time since late November, as shown by the Apparent Demand metric. This indicator, which estimates current network demand by comparing mining issuance and changes in long-dormant supply, recently turned positive after months of negative readings. The shift suggests decreasing inventory outweighs new supply, reflecting renewed investor interest. Additionally, the Coinbase Premium Index has flipped positive, signaling strong buying activity from U.S. institutions. Bitcoin's price has responded positively, rising 4% to around $68,000, indicating a potential recovery from recent declines.

Jane Street Halts "10 AM Dump", BTC Stages Strong V-Shaped Rebound Nearing $70K Mark

BTC experienced a strong V-shaped rebound, approaching the $70,000 mark, with ETH and SOL also showing significant gains. Market sentiment improved as Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net inflows, potentially ending a five-week outflow streak. The rally was fueled by a mix of market dynamics, including allegations against Jane Street for allegedly suppressing Bitcoin’s price through systematic trading practices, though some analysts dismissed long-term manipulation claims. Positive quarterly earnings from Circle and Nvidia further boosted confidence, highlighting strong demand for stablecoins and AI-related investments. Institutional interest grew, with university endowments beginning to allocate to crypto ETFs, and mining firms showed resilience amid market volatility. The rebound provided a renewed narrative for market optimism, though its sustainability remains to be seen.

Blockchain Association Calls For Modernized Crypto Tax Rules In New Release

The Blockchain Association has released a proposal titled "Digital Asset Tax Principles" to modernize U.S. crypto taxation. The framework calls for practical rules that reflect the realities of digital assets, aiming to reduce compliance burdens and support U.S. competitiveness. Key recommendations include a de minimis exemption for small transactions, treating stablecoins as cash, and taxing mining and staking rewards only upon sale. It also advocates for consistent treatment of similar economic activities, nonrecognition for non-material changes, and privacy-conscious reporting. The proposal seeks to close loopholes while encouraging onshore digital asset activity. Currently, the IRS treats crypto as property, subject to capital gains or ordinary income tax.

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Erases Frost-Driven Dips With A Sharp Rebound – What This Means For BTC

Bitcoin mining difficulty has sharply rebounded after a brief weather-related decline, signaling renewed miner participation and network resilience. Despite Bitcoin's price pressure and consolidation near $63,000—well below its recent $70,000 level—the difficulty recovery indicates sustained miner confidence. The temporary dip was caused by severe winter storms disrupting energy supplies in key mining regions, forcing some hashrate offline. However, miners quickly restored operations, pushing difficulty back to new highs. This rebound reinforces strong network fundamentals but may increase cost pressures on less efficient miners if BTC remains range-bound. Technically, Bitcoin shows weakened momentum, trading below key moving averages, with $60,000–$63,000 acting as critical support. A break below could lead to deeper retracement, while reclaiming $70,000 is necessary for a bullish shift.
