Strategy could sell Bitcoin ‘to inoculate the market,’ Michael Saylor saysMichael Saylor said Strategy may sell a small amount of Bitcoin—potentially to fund a dividend—as a one-time move to “inoculate” the market and demonstrate that selling doesn’t signal distress, marking a shift from its long-standing “never sell” stance. The comments came as the company reported a $12.5 billion Q1 net loss, largely from unrealized Bitcoin losses during a 23.8% BTC decline, even as Strategy continues to amass Bitcoin through dividend-paying preferred stock like Stretch (STRC). Saylor also pointed to rapid growth in Bitcoin-backed credit and yield products, with DeFi protocols tokenizing STRC dividends and potential “digital yield accounts” emerging, while Bitcoin’s rebound since April has improved the outlook for Q2. |

Ripple CEO says market structure bill not ‘done deal,’ despite compromiseRipple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said progress on the Senate’s digital asset market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, is encouraging but far from guaranteed, warning it could lose momentum if not advanced within the next two weeks as the 2026 midterm campaign season ramps up. His comments follow a bipartisan compromise on stablecoin yield that could help move the legislation forward, though the bill still needs approval from the Senate Banking Committee before a full Senate vote. Garlinghouse acknowledged the bill isn’t perfect but argued regulatory clarity is preferable to continued legal uncertainty, a view echoed by lawmakers and regulators coordinating oversight while awaiting Congress’s action. |

Bitcoin ETFs add nearly $1B as BTC surges past $80K in multi-day rallyUS spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $999 million in inflows over two trading days as Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000 and briefly topped $81,000, underscoring renewed investor demand. Since May 1, the funds have attracted $1.63 billion, pushing cumulative inflows to $59.7 billion and assets under management to about $109 billion, the highest level this year. Analysts say Wall Street distribution networks are helping keep ETF demand resilient even amid volatility and mixed signals like Michael Saylor hinting at potential sales, while smaller inflows also showed up across Ether, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin ETFs.

Bitcoin taps $81K as long-term holders add 330K BTC: How high can price go?Bitcoin climbed about 2% in the last 24 hours to an intraday high near $81,300, extending gains to roughly 5% on the week and 21% over 30 days. The move has been supported by heavy accumulation from long-term holders—wallets that haven’t sold for at least six months—who added a net 331,000 BTC over the past month (about $26.7 billion, or ~1.6% of total supply), signaling growing conviction as price recovers. Institutional demand is also picking up, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs logging three straight days of inflows totaling $1.18 billion, including $532 million on Monday. Traders are watching liquidity and a key resistance zone around $84,000 (linked to a CME gap), while technicals show a confirmed bull-flag break; a daily close above the 200-day EMA near $82,000 could open a path toward the flag target around $94,800, with some analysts eyeing $92,000–$95,000+ if $84,000 breaks.
