Major institutional buyers, led by MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, appear to be closing off opportunities for new investors to accumulate Bitcoin near prevailing average cost bases.A prominent analyst noted on X that time may be running short for purchases aligned with the cost basis shared by Saylor and spot Bitcoin ETF holders. The warning follows MicroStrategy’s latest acquisition of 13,927 BTC for roughly $1 billion at an average price of $71,902 per coin. That purchase helped deliver a 5.6% BTC yield year-to-date through 2026.As of April 12, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings were 780,897 coins, purchased for approximately $59.02 billion at an average cost of $75,577 per BTC.The buying has followed a well-established rhythm tied to MicroStrategy’s STRC convertible-note program. Purchases typically accelerate toward the end of each dividend cycle because investors do not need to maintain positions for the full month to qualify for payouts. With the current STRC deadline falling on April 15, analysts expect Saylor’s buying power to contract sharply afterward.One researcher who flagged this pattern more than a week ago said events have unfolded precisely as anticipated. He expects the market to lose Saylor as a marginal buyer after tomorrow, potentially triggering a price drift downward. The same dynamic has played out after each of the past three STRC-driven buying spurts, with only modest timing variations linked to when funds became available.Meanwhile, Bitcoin rose 2.26% over the past 24 hours to $74,097.06, outpacing the broader market rally. The move was propelled by a short squeeze fueled by easing geopolitical tensions, particularly the de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran, which triggered rapid buybacks.BTC’s tight correlation with traditional risk assets pointed to a macro-driven advance, reinforced by steady inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs

Tesla stock was upgraded by UBS and this stands as one of the more notable analyst calls of the year so far. The bank moved TSLA from Sell to Neutral and also kept the Tesla stock price target unchanged at $352 — right around where the stock sat at the time of writing. After a more than 21% drop year-to-date, the Tesla valuation outlook had shifted enough that a Sell rating no longer made sense, and UBS also updated the TSLA stock forecast to reflect the changed picture. TSLA climbed over 3% on the Tesla stock upgraded news, closing at $364.20.TSLA daily chart — $364.20, up 3.34% on April 14, 2026 Source: Google FinanceTesla Stock Upgraded Boosts TSLA Forecast and Price Target OutlookSource: U.S. News MoneyWhat UBS Actually SaidThe Tesla stock upgraded announcement came with a fair amount of caveats, though — which is also worth keeping in mind. UBS analyst Joseph Spak, who had been sitting on a Sell for a while, said current price levels “more evenly balance” Tesla’s near-term challenges against its longer-term physical AI opportunity. That’s measured language, and also not something you’d call a ringing endorsement.Joseph Spak stated:“However, we do expect eventual progress on robo-taxi and Optimus and continue to view TSLA as a leader in physical AI.”He also warned:“The stock may continue to exhibit high volatility.”TSLA, Spak added, moves more on sentiment and narrative than on actual fundamentals. On Optimus, the program “will take longer than Musk’s stated targets,” and Spak also flagged supply chain risk tied to the current reliance on Chinese-made parts. UBS models around 5,000 Optimus units in 2027, rising to 30,000 by 2030 — well short of what Musk has publicly discussed.FirmAnalystActionOld RatingNew RatingTargetUBSJoseph SpakUpgradeSellNeutral$352The Numbers Behind the Tesla Stock Price TargetAfter the Tesla stock upgraded move to Neutral, the nu

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

The Bitcoin price and the general cryptocurrency market received a major boost over the past week, as the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East seemingly reached a temporary halt. The premier cryptocurrency has maintained relatively strong momentum since breaking the psychological $70,000 resistance on Tuesday, April 7.

Now, this sudden resurgence has sparked conversations among the crypto crowd on whether the Bitcoin price has formed a structural bottom yet. According to a prominent crypto founder, the world’s largest cryptocurrency might still experience “one final dump” before the end of this bear phase.

On-Chain Signal Points To One More BTC Drop
In an April 10 post on the X platform, the Alphractal founder and CEO, Joao Wedson, highlighted an emerging signal that suggests that the Bitcoin price still likely has one more trip to the downside. This projection is based on an on-chain insight that suggests that BTC’s price tends to move toward a cycle bottom when the Investor Price falls below the Long-Term Holder (LTH) Realized Price.

Wedson explained the relevance of this on-chain insight and why it emerges before a major price and an ensuing coin accumulation. According to the on-chain data expert, the Investor Price is a metric that measures the average cost of economically active coins, and, when it falls below the LTH Realized Price, suggests fresher capital has flowed in at lower prices than long-term investors paid.

Wedson wrote on X:

This usually happens after distribution phases, when demand weakens, and marginal buyers step back. Long-term holders historically sell less when the price approaches or dips below their cost basis.

The U.S. government has successfully released all $625 million in federally approved security funding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but an ongoing shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security continues to disrupt critical planning and coordination efforts. That was the message delivered to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday by Christopher Tomney, director of the DHS Office of Homeland Security Situational Awareness.Tomney confirmed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has fully distributed the allocated security funds through its grants management system, stating that preparations can now move forward financially. However, he was candid about the operational setbacks caused by the prolonged government funding lapse, which has now stretched beyond two months.The 48-team tournament, scheduled across host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico during June and July, ranks among the most-watched sporting events on the planet — making airtight security planning an absolute priority. Intelligence briefings reviewed by Reuters previously flagged warnings from officials about the elevated risk of extremist and criminal activity targeting the event, raising urgent concerns about delayed security preparations.One of the most significant challenges stemming from the shutdown has been the mass departure of Transportation Security Administration officers. Tomney emphasized that replacing specialized security personnel is not a quick process, and their absence has weakened coordination between federal agencies and state and local authorities.The DHS shutdown stems from a prolonged congressional standoff over legislation to fund the agency, following President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement measures. Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order ensuring all DHS employees would continue receiving pay.With the World C

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure The American Bankers Association (ABA) is pushing back against the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) stablecoin report tied to the long-awaited CLARITY Act, arguing that the debate is being framed in a way that misses the real policy risk. The ABA’s objection centers on the CEA’s analysis of stablecoin rewards—specifically, the idea that prohibiting yield on certain stablecoins would have little effect on bank lending or the broader credit market. ABA Pushes Back On CLARITY Act AnalysisAccording to the American Bankers Association’s statement released on Monday, April 13, the “live” question for policymakers is not whether banning yield on payment stablecoins would change lending in the near term. Instead, the ABA says the central concern is what happens if yield on payment stablecoins is allowed—particularly whether it would encourage deposit flight, with the potential for deposit outflows to accelerate from community banks. Related Reading: Ripple CEO’s Comments Stir Up A Wave, Here’s What He SaidThe ABA argues that by concentrating on the effects of a prohibition, the CEA paper creates a “misleading sense of reassurance” while sidestepping the more consequential outcome: yield-paying payment stablecoins growing quickly. In its critique, the country’s oldest national trade association pointed to the CEA’s headline conclusion, which it characterized as an estimate that prohibiting yield would increase bank lending by about $1.2 billion. The ABA responded that even if the direction of the estimates were correct, the figure is essentially a “rounding error” compared with typical quarterly shifts in bank lending.  The association argued that even a directionally correct result still does not answer the key question policymakers need answered: what w
