Theme Bitcoin (BTC)

Tether has just launched "Scudo", a tiny unit indexed to its tokenized gold XAUT. The ambition is summed up in one sentence: to make gold as manageable as Bitcoin. Not by changing the nature of the metal, but by changing its mental format.

Under regulatory pressure, MSCI makes a decisive choice. The index issuer announced on January 6 that it would maintain companies with significant crypto treasury in its global indices. A temporary decision, while the status of these companies, including Strategy, remained uncertain. This signal stabilizes their exposure in institutional portfolios and extends their integration into traditional markets, at a time when the gap between traditional finance and crypto continues to narrow.

Bitcoin carries a persistent label: that of an energy sink. And like all labels, it sticks all the better because it avoids details. This weekend, Daniel Batten, an ESG researcher, put the file back on the table in a thread on X, with a rare bias in this debate: going back to data, and especially to peer-reviewed studies. Nine “classic” criticisms would, according to him, be out of step with what the figures show at the level of electrical networks.

Altcoins may be positioning for a rebound after months of subdued price performance. Market data indicates that many tokens are trading above key support levels established in October. Analysts say these signals could point to a renewed appetite for risk across the broader cryptocurrency market.

Despite an accounting loss of $17.4 billion in Q4 2025, Strategy kicks off 2026 by purchasing 1,283 bitcoins for $116 million. As a global leader among institutional BTC holders, the company persists in its aggressive accumulation strategy, defying classic financial logic. This striking contrast between record loss and reaffirmed confidence raises the question: how far is Michael Saylor willing to push his bet on Bitcoin?

Bitcoin reaches 94,000 dollars, driven by the momentum of financial markets. The movement, clear and rapid, suggests a renewed confidence. However, fundamentals struggle to keep up. Volumes collapse, liquidity remains low. This rise intrigues as much as it reassures.

You don't need Bitcoin? You find it useless, abstract, speculative? Then you probably live in a functional rule of law. You can open an account. Receive your salary. Save without permission. Leave your country without losing your money. This comfort is not the norm. It is a historical exception. Only 11% of humans are born into a stable, democratic monetary system that protects property. The remaining 89% live elsewhere. In fragile, hyperinflationary, authoritarian, or arbitrary economies. For them, money is not a neutral tool. It is a filter. An identity test. A condition of obedience. Most economic discriminations are not moral. They are systemic. Bitcoin was not designed for speculation. It was born to operate without permission. Without identity. Without geography. This text proposes a simple thing: to look at Bitcoin not from the minority it enriches, but from the majority it protects from erasure.

Venezuela, plagued by record hyperinflation and an unprecedented political crisis, could well become the catalyst for a Bitcoin surge to $105,000 in a few days! Between massive adoption, economic sanctions, and political transition, crypto is establishing itself as the ultimate solution.

Bitcoin Core saw increased contributions, steady code updates, and strong network activity in 2025, supported by ongoing community and funding.

Venezuela, in the midst of a political crisis, sees María Corina Machado, Nobel laureate and pro-Bitcoin, emerge as a key figure of the transition. Could her commitment to cryptocurrencies redefine the country's economy and make it a model for nations in crisis? The future is now at stake.

The capitalization of memecoins jumped by more than 23% in early 2026, with a trading volume that almost quadrupled. In short, "hot" money is back, the kind that tests limits. According to data relayed around CoinMarketCap, the sector went from about $38 billion on December 29 to over $47.7 billion a week later, while volumes climbed towards $8.7 billion.

When the yen drowns, Metaplanet rows towards bitcoin: a strategy that makes Tokyo smile... except creditors. While Japan goes into debt, others stack BTC.

While crypto markets struggle to find direction, a key indicator has crossed a symbolic threshold: the Fear & Greed Index returns to the neutral zone for the first time since October. This reversal in investor sentiment follows months of extreme fear, marked by a violent crash and persistent volatility. In a still tense global climate, this signal could mark a psychological respite... but certainly not yet a recovery.

The dollar pulls the strings, Maduro falls, Kiyosaki philosophizes... and bitcoin rises! Simple coincidence? Not sure, but it's worth a little tour behind the scenes of oil.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted 645.8 million dollars on January 2. In a still hesitant market, this volume is surprising. It marks the strongest day of inflows in over a month for Bitcoin products and an unprecedented peak since December for Ether. While 2025 ended on a decline, this surge is striking.

Is Bitcoin bored? Not really. Between wild OGs, voracious ETFs, and complicit regulations, the beast calms down... but could bite again where it's least expected.

In 2026, cryptocurrencies are the subject of rare optimism on social networks, according to Santiment. However, traditional indicators remain cautious. Why this gap? Between social euphoria and market reality, discover what this unexpected signal hides for the crypto market.

Ilya Lichtenstein, involved in the theft of approximately 119,756 BTC on Bitfinex, says he was released from prison earlier than expected thanks to the First Step Act, a law passed under Donald Trump. He spent just over a year behind bars, although he had been sentenced to five years.

Crypto markets are showing a notable shift, with major altcoins recording solid gains. Bitcoin’s share of the overall market has weakened and is now nearing 59%. Capital rotation toward higher-beta assets has followed, renewing discussion around a potential altcoin-led phase.

While bitcoin remains above $89,000 at the start of 2026, many analysts claim that whales are beginning a powerful accumulation movement. A signal perceived by some as the prelude to a new bull run. However, behind this optimistic reading, on-chain data tells a very different story. Far from a massive return of large holders, the current market dynamic seems driven by other actors, much more discreet… and probably more decisive for what comes next.

Bitcoin is at a decisive turning point in 2026, between the risk of a major correction and the potential for a historic rally. What are the price levels to watch to anticipate its next moves? Between critical supports, psychological resistances and divergent expert opinions... Here are the thresholds that will tip BTC this year.

Bitmine and Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee rehashed debates across crypto markets after forecasting a sharp rise in Ethereum’s price. Speaking at Binance Blockchain Week, Lee stated that Ether could reach $62,000 in the coming months as blockchain adoption enters a new phase. His remarks also reaffirmed his long-held bullish view on Bitcoin.

While the market coughs, Tether, on the other hand, is gobbling up bitcoin… A frenzy of crypto-purchasing that intrigues, worries, and could well shake more than one stablecoin in a business suit.

The current stability of bitcoin may conceal a sudden reversal. While the asset opened 2026 at $87,500, rarely combined technical signals, bullish divergence of the RSI, extreme compression of Bollinger bands, indicate an imminent volatility surge. Several analysts mention a possible rebound. However, attention also focuses on another breaking point: the announced end of the four-year cycle, a historic pillar of crypto strategies, now challenged by influential market voices.

While the market remains struggling, another transformation, more discreet but decisive, is taking shape. In this new year, bitcoin will no longer seek to charm traders. It will integrate, step by step, into the real economy. If the price falls, usage, however, progresses. A pivotal year is opening, where the price drop contrasts with the silent rise of payment technologies. BTC no longer waits for the next bull run to exist: it finally becomes a daily tool.

Is bitcoin climbing? Or plunging? Between juicy injections, cautious politicians and Harvard funds, 2026 promises a well-spiced crypto saga... with guaranteed suspense on the regulation front!

In 2025, the crypto market reminded its ruthless nature. While bitcoin briefly crossed 126,000 dollars, a brutal correction wiped out several major fortunes in the sector.

Will bitcoin reach $150,000 in 2026? Polymarket bettors give it only a 27% chance, defying optimistic forecasts by analysts. Between economic uncertainties and institutional hopes, discover why this year promises to be a controversial turning point for the crypto queen.
