Strategy raises 263.5 million dollars by selling its MSTR shares but ignores Bitcoin. Michael Saylor, once an unconditional BTC fan, is he playing it safe or abandoning ship?
Bitcoin remains close to $64,000 despite a strong surge in oil and a more tense market climate. Brent jumped with the military escalation between Washington and Tehran, reigniting inflation fears. Yet, BTC does not falter. This resistance is intriguing, as it comes when risky assets also absorb the backlash of the Kimi AI shock.
Is Michael Saylor preparing a new move on bitcoin? After a pause in BTC purchases, the Executive Chairman of Strategy has reignited speculation with a simple message published on X: "what is the next step?" Behind this question lies a major issue. While the company holds more than 4% of the total bitcoin supply and now has a record cash reserve, the market is wondering about the next step of its strategy. Every decision of the firm is now scrutinized as a signal for the entire crypto ecosystem.
Michael Saylor rejects BIP 110, which he presents as a threat to Bitcoin neutrality. The proposal aims to limit for one year several transactions containing data unrelated to payment. For Saylor, the real danger is not spam. It is the idea that a usage disagreement could modify the consensus rules.
For more than fifteen years, a question has continued to fuel discussions in the cryptocurrency ecosystem: what really happened with Bitcoin and its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto? While debates around the BIP-110 proposal still divide the community, Adam Back revisited this enigma during an exchange on X. The Blockstream CEO believes that no conclusion can be drawn about the fate of Satoshi Nakamoto, recalling that the circulating hypotheses rely solely on speculation.
Bitcoin seems frozen for several sessions. However, far from spot charts, institutional investors are increasing bets on the derivatives market. An unusual concentration of very short-term positions reveals that operators are preparing for an event likely to tip the market. Behind this turmoil, price levels that professionals watch before the next U.S. monetary deadlines already emerge.
Senator Elizabeth Warren has asked Donald Trump to publish his crypto-related incomes before the legal deadline, following the revelation of 1.4 billion dollars in gains in 2025. The request comes just days before a crucial Senate vote on a market-structuring law. Will the democracy of regulation hold up against the White House's crypto empire?
Exchange-traded funds backed by spot Bitcoin show a new sign of stability after several months marked by capital outflows. In the United States, investors recorded a third consecutive session of net inflows, confirming renewed interest in this category of products. This development comes as the market tries to regain better balance after a difficult start to the year. Meanwhile, data show a gradual improvement in flows, despite a context where price performance remains under pressure.
The inexorable advance of cutting-edge quantum computing poses an existential threat to blockchain security, forcing the ecosystem to revise its cryptographic foundations. Preserving inactive Bitcoin wallets against machines capable of breaking private keys is a critical priority. On July 16, Project Eleven unveiled a post-quantum cryptographic proof proposal to address the "Q-Day" challenge. By replacing signature validation with lineage verification, this protocol offers an unexpected safety net.
The scenario of a bitcoin freed from its cycles thanks to the arrival of institutional investors is wavering. While the market was settling into almost unanimous confidence, NYDIG cools the ardor with an analysis that recalls an old rule: every phase of euphoria eventually calls for a correction. According to the investment company, quantitative models now reveal a marked decline in the price of the flagship crypto, reigniting the debate on the strength of the current bull cycle.
As debates around the use of the Bitcoin blockchain multiply, a new technical proposal reignites tensions within the community. Named BIP-110, this project aims to temporarily limit the inscription of non-financial data on the network to reduce what its promoters consider spam, notably the Ordinals, BRC-20, and Runes protocols. While some see it as a necessary evolution to preserve Bitcoin's efficiency, others believe it challenges the protocol's neutrality and its founding principles. Does BIP-110 represent an advance for Bitcoin or a risk for the network's future?
The cryptocurrency market continues to look for clues that can confirm the end of the recent phase of price weakness. Several on-chain data points are now attracting the attention of analysts, who are trying to identify the first signs of a lasting reversal. In this context, Bitcoin once again finds itself at the center of Glassnode's observations. An indicator followed by its research team shows that selling pressure from investors may begin to ease, even though several technical levels remain decisive.
Tokenization has just reached a major milestone on Wall Street. More than 30 financial players participated in the DTCC test, which moved securities held in its central depository to blockchain networks. This is no longer a showcase demonstration. It is a market trial, involving banks, exchanges, asset managers, and crypto infrastructures.
Cryptos are no longer just a playground for speculation. For Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the market is entering a new phase driven by tokenization, better risk management, and more rigorous project selection. Interviewed on CNBC on July 15, 2026, the leader of the world’s largest asset manager delivered a comprehensive vision beyond bitcoin. At a time when investors seek more stability than promises, his statements illustrate the accelerated convergence between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
Decentralized prediction markets are experiencing a meteoric rise, to the point of becoming true barometers of market expectations. However, this growth hides a major flaw. A university study reveals that sophisticated actors manage to manipulate certain very short-term contracts to influence the price of the leading crypto. These findings highlight the limits of a booming sector, even as prediction platforms attract the attention of regulators and establish themselves as a new battleground between financial innovation and state oversight.
Bitcoin now has 32% adoption among major global banks, according to an index published by Strategy. Michael Saylor, founder of the first BTC reserve company, considers this breakthrough promising but still premature. Is the market on the verge of a banking shift?
Bitcoin has been trading cheaper in the United States than in the rest of the global market for 50 consecutive days. This rare signal comes from the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index, which remained negative until July 7–8. Behind this subtle gap, a reality is confirmed: American demand for BTC shows signs of fatigue.
The constant interaction between traditional macroeconomics and the crypto market has just passed a new decisive milestone on an international scale. While the US Federal Reserve (Fed) has maintained a strict monetary policy for months, the release of the latest economic indicators has shaken all investors' certainties. On Tuesday, July 14, at the opening of the Wall Street session, the price of the leading crypto recorded an upward impulse, once again crossing the major psychological resistance of $64,000. This responsiveness reveals the persistent dependence of assets on US macroeconomic data, particularly inflation trends.
A few weeks before the major correction in October, I argued in my market analyses that the bull market had come to an end. I recommended selling all positions around $120K, as I believed we were entering a bear market. My outlook has not changed since then. Small rallies followed by sharp pullbacks are completely normal during a bear market.
Has bitcoin already reached the peak of this cycle, or is the market about to surprise investors once again? While volatility feeds fears and corrections multiply, on-chain data offers a nuanced reading of the situation. CryptoQuant indicators reveal the evolution of investors' profits, while recent purchases by large whales raise questions about a possible return of confidence. Between encouraging technical signals and macroeconomic uncertainties, the market today sends contradictory messages.
Bitcoin is undergoing a silent rotation. Long-term holders distribute part of their supply while a new generation of buyers absorbs BTC around $62,000. The market is not panicking yet. It is digesting a wealth transfer that could prepare the next big move.

The influence of macroeconomics on crypto valuation remains a fundamental principle for contemporary financial markets. In mid-July, volatility makes its strong return to the market. While investors were scrutinizing charts looking for a recovery signal, the flagship crypto price faltered, reminding us of the influence of monetary policies on risk assets. This drop directly stems from an adjustment of investors’ expectations regarding the upcoming decisions of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), ahead of the publication of a key report on inflation.
On July 13, the United States transferred nearly 4,000 bitcoins (approximately 250 million dollars) to Coinbase Prime. While overall liquidity remains extremely sensitive to movements by state whales, this major on-chain activity, stemming from judicial seizures, acts as a powerful volatility catalyst. Is this a simple logistical reorganization or the beginning of a massive sale?

For Tom Lee, this movement may signal a return of altcoins. But the signal remains fragile, as bitcoin still holds the psychological advantage in the market.
