Saylor signals Strategy is ‘Back’ to Bitcoin buying

Michael Saylor has signaled that his company, Strategy, is likely resuming Bitcoin purchases after a two-month pause used to strengthen its balance sheet.

Bitcoin ETFs end 9-day inflow streak as BTC dips below $78K

US spot Bitcoin ETFs snapped a nine-day inflow streak on Friday, recording $201.8 million in net outflows as Bitcoin slipped below $78,000. The reversal followed a run of over $3 billion in inflows, and total fund assets dropped to $97.6 billion after briefly topping $100 billion. ARK 21Shares led the outflows with $114.9 million, while Bitwise and BlackRock’s funds also saw notable withdrawals; only Morgan Stanley’s product posted inflows.

The pullback in Bitcoin funds contrasted with continued strength elsewhere. Ether and XRP ETFs each added inflows—$102.2 million and $26.2 million, respectively—and Solana ETFs kept their momentum, with the category surpassing $1.7 billion in cumulative flows. Bitwise’s Solana fund became the first in its group to cross $1 billion, an achievement one analyst called “impressive” despite a tough market stretch.
