Starknet launched strkBTC on May 12, locking BTC on Bitcoin's base layer to back an ERC-20 token that brings shielded balances into a smart contract environment at scale.
The token runs in the public mode, where it behaves like any other wrapped Bitcoin ****** et, and shielded mode, where users can hide selected balances and transfers from outside observers.
Starknet routes viewing keys to an independent third-party auditor, preserving selective disclosure when regulators or counterparties require it.

Why Crypto 'Godfather' Michael Terpin Says He's Shorting Bitcoin

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below.
Bitcoin tapped $82,000 on Monday, yet Michael Terpin says the rally may be setting up another short opportunity before the next major leg higher.
Speaking at Consensus Miami, Terpin, founder and CEO of Transform Ventures and often called crypto's "Godfather," said his fund is currently shorting BTC while targeting another move lower before a long-term recovery.
Terpin said he still believes Bitcoin eventually reaches $1 million by 2033 but argued the current cycle has not fully completed its capitulation phase.

Bitcoin Could Surge as AI Race and War Fuel Money Printing says Hayes

Arthur Hayes said military spending and the possible prioritization of infrastructure investment by US allies over trading US Treasurys and equities will lead to further fiat printing and benefit crypto.
The ongoing war in Iran and the race to dominate the AI sector will result in money printing that could benefit the crypto ecosystem and push Bitcoin back to its all-time high this year, according to Arthur Hayes, the chief investment officer of crypto investment fund Maelstrom.
In a Substack post on Tuesday, Hayes said the competition between US and China to win the AI race has led both to pursue looser financial conditions and more fiat printing as the technology “directly relates to national security.”
“The combination of the political will to win the AI race and the financial will to fund the build-out with printed money and bank loans produces the perfect environment for crypto,” he said.

Michael Saylor Sees CLARITY Act as a Turning Point for Bitcoin Adoption

Michael Saylor says the next major step in U.S. crypto legislation could give Bitcoin and digital-asset finance a clearer path into the capital markets.
The Strategy executive chairman framed the CLARITY Act markup as more than another regulatory checkpoint, arguing that the bill could help unlock a wider market for digital capital, digital credit and digital equity. His comments come as lawmakers prepare to review the Digital **** et Market Clarity Act, a bill designed to define how crypto markets are overseen between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
For Strategy, the debate has direct market relevance. Saylor said the legislation could validate Bitcoin, support broader adoption of MSTR and provide a stronger framework for STRC, the company’s “Stretch” preferred shares.

Strategy (MSTR) Buys $43 Million More Bitcoin After Saylor Defends Potential BTC...

Strategy added 535 more BTC for $43 million days after Michael Saylor said the company may consider selling part of its bitcoin holdings for the first time.
Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) purchased 535 bitcoin for approximately $43.0 million at an average price of $80,340 per coin, the company disclosed Monday in a Form 8-K filing. The firm now holds 818,869 BTC, acquired for roughly $61.86 billion at an average cost of $75,540 per bitcoin, and has recorded a bitcoin yield of 9.4% year-to-date in 2026.
The acquisition was funded through $0.1 million raised via Strategy’s STRC ATM program and $42.9 million from its MSTR ATM offering.
The purchase comes six days after executive chairman Michael Saylor told investors on the company’s Q1 earnings call that Strategy was prepared to sell a portion of its bitcoin holdings for the first time. This statement drew immediate scrutiny from a market that had long viewed the company’s accumulation strategy as one-directional.
Saylor moved to contain the narrative over the weekend. In a podcast interview, he said that for every bitcoin sold, the company would buy 10 to 20 more. “You should be a net accumulator of bitcoin,” he said. “You want to end every year with more bitcoin than you started.” Monday’s purchase suggests the buying has not slowed.

Bitcoin Dominance Rises, But It’s Not All Bad for Altcoins

Bitcoin moved above $80,000 and held those levels for a few days. With this, the popular gauge of the largest digital currency’s reached 61.3% — the highest reading in more than six months.
On the surface, elevated Bitcoin dominance signals cryptocurrency market participants are favoring that ****** et over its peers, but that doesn’t necessarily mean bad news for altcoins and the CoinShares Altcoins ETF (DIME). Examining the details more closely matters and upon doing that, market participants may find that DIME is worth considering over the near-term.
“This rise matters because investors still prefer Bitcoin’s relative strength while broader market confidence remains fragile. However, beneath this dominance surge, altcoins slowly began stabilizing after months of sustained pressure,” reported AMB Crypto.
Translation: Bitcoin can act as a rising tide that lifts all sails across the cryptocurrency landscape and while the percentage gains won’t be uniform, Bitcoin strength can matriculate to other digital ****** ets, potentially benefiting the actively managed DIME in the process.
Experienced altcoin investors know that births of new altcoin seasons take time and that at this point in the cycle, even baby steps are appreciated. With that in mind, some positive incremental signs are emerging that may be supportive of DIME upside.

The purchase follows a week in which Strategy made no bitcoin acquisitions. The company disclosed on May 4 that it held 818,334 bitcoin as of May 3, with an aggregate purchase price of $61.81 billion and an average purchase price of $75,537 per bitcoin.

Bitcoin's 4-Year Cycle Says BTC Should Be at $150,000 by End of 2026

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is trading around $81,000 today, down 35% from its all-time high of $126,000. The 4-year halving cycle, which traders have followed since 2012, points to a peak roughly 12 to 18 months after every halving. Bitcoin hit its $126K high in October 2025—right inside that window—but bulls argue the cycle has another leg as ETF demand keeps pulling supply off exchanges.
Standard Chartered and Bernstein both call for $150,000 by year-end, which would be a new all-time high and an 88% gain from today’s price. The crypto community cannot stop debating whether the cycle has more upside in 2026 or already peaked. Does Bitcoin have one more leg, or is the top already in?
Every four years, Bitcoin’s code automatically halves the reward miners earn for adding new transactions to the blockchain. This is called the halving, and it directly reduces the rate at which new Bitcoin enters circulation. The most recent halving happened on April 20, 2024, dropping the reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.

Trump pushed Bitcoin closer to U.S. policy recognition, but the wider ledger on price, trust, and adoption remains mixed.
Has Donald Trump been net positive for Bitcoin? It is an uncomfortable question for many Bitcoin supporters, including me.
My political criticisms of Trump are substantial and longstanding. They extend well beyond policy disagreements into questions about rhetoric, institutional conduct, and the broader political culture surrounding his presidency.
None of that disappears because Bitcoin performed well during parts of his administration or because parts of the industry now view him as an ally. Still, the question matters because Bitcoin increasingly sits inside state policy, capital markets, and geopolitical competition.
Once that happened, separating political preference from ***** ytical judgment became harder. The reason the question deserves a serious answer is simple: no modern U.S. president has moved Bitcoin closer to formal government recognition than Trump.

SEC delay on prediction markets ETFs echoes a long-fought bitcoin fund battle

Prediction markets ETFs may soon be coming to retail investors and even into retirement plans, but maybe just not as fast as anticipated.
The Securities and Exchange Commission during the second Trump administration has sought to distinguish itself from Biden era regulators with what it calls a move away from the “regulatory creep” that it says has held back markets and innovation. But it caught some in the financial industry off guard on Tuesday when it delayed the launch of 24 prediction markets ETFs, saying it needed more time to study the products before they were released to investors.
Roundhill Investments, Bitwise, and GraniteShares had all filed with the SEC in February to launch funds tied to prediction markets covering elections, economic data, and other real-world events. Under SEC rules, ETFs are automatically effective 75 days after filing unless otherwise halted by the SEC. That 75-day window was due to expire last week. The SEC’s intervention should not be surprising, according to ETF experts, even if the SEC under the Trump administration is focused on steps to ease market access, as well as less aggressive oversight of novel financial products, such as in the crypto **** e.
Prediction markets ETFs do represent a new kind of regulatory challenge. Unlike traditional ETFs, these investments are tied to event contracts and essentially place bets on real-world events. Some of the most notable, but also controversial, contracts on predictions markets like Kalshi are the ones related to politics, such as election results, a focus for the ETFs.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Log 6th Straight Week of Net Inflows for First Time Since...

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged six consecutive weeks of net inflows, the longest such streak since a seven-week run that drew in $7.57 billion in the summer of 2025.
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded a sixth consecutive week of net inflows, marking the longest such streak since August 2025.
The current six-week run stretches from the week of April 2 through Friday, pulling in a combined $3.4 billion, according to data from SoSoValue. The strongest week came in mid-April, when inflows hit $996.38 million for the week of April 17, while the streak’s weakest showing was the week of April 2 with just $22.34 million. The most recent week logged $622.75 million.
The run marks the longest streak of consecutive net weekly inflows in more than nine months, when a 7-week ran from June 13 to July 18, 2025, drew in roughly $7.57 billion, including $2.72 billion for the week of July 11 and $2.39 billion the following week.

Bitcoin Dips Below $80K as ****** ysts Say Profit-Taking Is on the Rise

Bitcoin rallied to nearly $82,500 on Wednesday for the first time since January—but has slipped in the last 24 hours to recently trade below $80,000.
The broader move, which has seen the top crypto ****** et gain more than 17% in the last month, is still part of a “bear market rally,” according to ****** ysts at CryptoQuant. And as profit levels grow, Bitcoin may be on the precipice of more selling.
“Bitcoin holders realized 14.6K BTC in daily profits on May 4, the highest level since December 10, as the 37% rally from the April lows pushed holders back into profitable territory,” the firm wrote, noting that the surge has created the “first significant profit realization event since December 2025” as short-term holders have been locking in gains since mid-April.
“Historically in bear markets, spikes in realized profits at key resistance levels precede local price tops or sustained consolidation phases,” the firm continued.
According to CryptoQuant’s data, the 30-day net realized profit for Bitcoin traders has climbed back into positive territory, meaning that more holders have notched gains than losses during that time—a move it called a “structural inflection point” in market dynamics.
