Bitcoin miner MARA posts $1.7B quarterly loss on BTC slump

MARA Holdings posted a $1.71 billion net loss in Q4 2025 as a steep Bitcoin price decline drove roughly $1.5 billion in fair‑value markdowns, while revenue slipped 6% to $202.3 million despite higher hashrate. The miner produced 2,011 BTC in the quarter and ended 2025 holding 53,822 BTC, as its stock fell 46% over six months. Alongside the weak results, MARA outlined a multi‑year pivot beyond pure Bitcoin mining, including a joint venture with Starwood Digital Ventures to develop AI and high‑performance compute data centers and a majority stake in Exaion targeting enterprise and "sovereign‑grade" AI deployments.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs take in $1B in three days as investors buy the dip

US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.02 billion in net inflows over three sessions (Tuesday–Thursday), marking a sharp reversal after five straight weeks of withdrawals even as Bitcoin remains well below its peak. BlackRock's IBIT led the rebound, including $275.82 million on Thursday, prompting analysts to say investors are "buying the dip" after a roughly 50% drawdown. While some funds like Fidelity's FBTC and Ark's ARKB still saw outflows, broader inflows (including into Ether, Solana, and XRP products) are fueling cautious optimism that selling pressure is easing, though analysts don't expect a quick V-shaped recovery.

Suspected insider wallets rack up $1.2M betting on ZachXBT's Axiom exposé

A handful of wallets on Polymarket reportedly earned more than $1.2 million by betting on the timing and outcome of ZachXBT's investigation into DeFi platform Axiom, prompting blockchain researchers to flag possible insider trading. Onchain analysis suggests eight of the top 10 winning wallets may be insider-linked, with some accounts only trading this single market, while dozens of other wallets collectively lost roughly $1.23 million. The episode adds to broader scrutiny of prediction markets—already under regulatory pressure and facing access blocks in multiple countries—over concerns they can reward traders with advance knowledge of market-moving events.

How does Trump influence the price of Bitcoin?

Donald Trump has repeatedly influenced Bitcoin and broader crypto markets through both policy moves and public messaging. The article notes that new tariff announcements—especially since April 2025—have often triggered market selloffs, with investors viewing escalating trade actions as macroeconomic risk that pressures Bitcoin alongside other assets.

At the same time, Trump's pro-crypto signals have occasionally supported prices, including early executive actions favoring digital assets, talk of a "Crypto Reserve," and high-profile appearances at crypto events. Still, the piece argues that as crypto becomes more tied to traditional markets, bigger forces like tariffs, regulatory progress (or lack of it), and overall economic uncertainty now tend to matter more than any single speech.
