Strategy, the world’s largest bitcoin (BTC) treasury company, is adding coins at its slowest rate in five years. So far this quarter, the firm has added just 388 coins to the 640,031 it held at the end of Q3 — growth of just 0.1%. In previous quarters, Strategy has grown its treasury by high single and even high double-digit percentages. Indeed, in Q4 2024, its BTC holdings growth hit a multi-year high of 77%. Unfortunately, the price of Strategy’s MSTR common stock has also declined 10% this quarter alongside its dwindling purchases of BTC. In 2020, Michael Saylor’s 1990s enterprise software company pivoted into leveraged BTC purchases and, from a small base, the company had amassed 70,470 BTC by the end of that year. Growth in its BTC treasury continued at robust, double and high single-digital percentages throughout 2021, slowed in 2022, and then picked up again in 2023 and 2024.  By Q4 of 2024, as the price of BTC was rallying amid Donald Trump’s succe...

As Cardano (ADA) faces short-term selling pressure, one analyst projects the asset could be gearing up for a more than 200% rally toward $2. According to prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez, the outlook is based on ADA’s consolidation within a large symmetrical triangle pattern throughout most of 2025—a formation that typically precedes a strong directional move. In an X post on October 10, Martinez noted that ADA has consistently formed higher lows while encountering lower highs, creating pressure that is expected to resolve as the price approaches the apex of the triangle in the coming weeks. ADA price analysis chart. Source: TradingView In this scenario, $0.69 is identified as a key dip-buying opportunity before ADA begins its climb.

Unfortunately, when an audience member at his Bitcoin Treasuries NYC Unconference yesterday asked him about the contentious change to OP_RETURN at the heart of the disagreement, he failed to provide any satisfactory answer. Paul Sztorc called it a “bulls*** pro-ossification answer” that demonstrated “no actual knowledge of the issues.” “One of the most word salad statements I have ever heard,” commented another. Embroiled in disagreement for nearly a year over Bitcoin Core’s contentious accommodation for arbitrary data storage, Knots dissidents have been running software to protest Core’s change .
