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.

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.

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.

Strategy Yield ETN Gives UK Investors Exposure to Bitcoin Giant's STRC Shares
Crypto **** et manager 21Shares launched the Strategy Yield ETN (STRC) on the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday, marking its first U.K. product offering exposure to Strategy's Bitcoin-backed preferred shares.
STRC provides exchange-traded access to Stretch, a variable rate Series A perpetual preferred stock issued by top Bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy Inc. The preferred shares offer investors yield exposure backed by the software company's massive Bitcoin holdings.
The ETN currently delivers an 11.50% annual yield paid monthly in cash with tax-deferred status, according to the announcement. The distribution rate undergoes monthly review to support price stability and includes a floor tied to short-term interest rates.
21Shares charges no management fee on the ETN, creating a fee-free structure for U.K. investors seeking exposure to Strategy's Bitcoin-backed securities.
“The listing of the 21shares Strategy Yield ETN on the London Stock Exchange is a definitive moment for the U.K. market,” said 21 Shares President Duncan Moir, in a statement. “We are introducing an easy-to-access investment product that combines high income potential with a familiar exchange traded structure. By bringing this strategy to the LSE, we are giving U.K. investors an innovative tool to generate income that simply was not accessible in an ETN wrapper before.”

BITU’s Decay Problem: Why This Bitcoin ETF Lost 31% While Bitcoin Fell Just 10%
Volatility decay erodes returns when Bitcoin moves sideways or reverses: a 50% Bitcoin drawdown would near-total wipeout the leveraged fund.
BITU works only for single-day trades or strong uptrends; buy-and-hold investors face compounding losses from daily resets in choppy markets.
The ******* yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 stocks and BITU wasn't one of them. Get them here FREE.
ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF (NYSEARCA:BITU) gives traders 2x daily exposure to the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index through swaps, with a 0.98% expense ratio. The appeal is simple: when Bitcoin moves, BITU moves twice as hard, without the hassle of holding crypto directly. The structure is complex, and the gap between what holders expect and what they get is where the real risk lives.
BITU resets daily. The fund delivers 2x of one trading day's Bitcoin return, then starts over. Compounded across many days, results diverge from a static 2x of Bitcoin's ******* ulative move, and the divergence almost always works against the holder when the path is choppy.

Analyst predicts shocking sign behind Bitcoin’s price
Bitcoin (BTC) may have reclaimed $80,000, but one ******* yst warns that the move lacks the foundation to hold.
On May 4, the top cryptocurrency finally managed to break past its $80,000 barrier. Not once, but twice.
The first time it did was in the wee hours of Monday. However, it pulled back briefly and dropped to the zone of $78,000 as mixed reports of escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz spread.
At press time, Bitcoin had recovered and was trading at $80,263, up 2.1% over the past 24 hours.

Needham Raises CleanSpark Price Target on Hyperscaler Talks: Is the Bitcoin...
Needham raised its price target on CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK | CLSK Price Prediction) stock to $18 from $17 while maintaining a Buy rating, after meeting with management on Monday, May 4. The catalyst: CleanSpark indicated it is in “advanced discussions” with a direct investment-grade (IG) hyperscaler customer for its data center capacity.
For investors, the price target raised by Needham reframes CleanSpark stock from a pure Bitcoin proxy into a potential artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure host. A signed deal could re-rate the shares, but the agreement isn’t done yet.
According to Needham, CleanSpark’s hyperscaler conversations have notably progressed since earlier in fiscal year 2026, with only a few sticking points still in negotiations. That puts CleanSpark in the running to convert raw megawatts into long-duration tenant revenue.
The pivot is backed by infrastructure scale. CleanSpark’s portfolio now exceeds 1.8 GW of power, land, and data center capacity, including up to 890 MW of utility-grade power capacity in the Houston region and an advancing Sandersville, Georgia site for AI tenancy.
CleanSpark is one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) miners, with FY2025 revenue of $766.31 million and adjusted EBITDA of $823.37 million. The company surpassed 50 EH/s of operational hashrate in June 2025, with roughly 6% of global hashrate under management.

MicroStrategy Pauses Bitcoin Buys Ahead of May 5 Q1 Earnings
Michael Saylor indicated that Strategy will make no Bitcoin (BTC) purchases this week. The break comes two days before the firm reports first-quarter (Q1) 2026 earnings on May 5.
The pause lands during MicroStrategy's first sharp quarterly Bitcoin drawdown of the cycle. The company is also shifting funding toward preferred equity rather than common-stock dilution.
The break ends a near-weekly cadence that has defined MicroStrategy's 2026 accumulation. A 13-week buying streak snapped in late March.
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens
Strategy now holds 818,334 BTC worth $64.44 billion at an average cost of $75,532 per coin, a 4.23% unrealized gain.
