Was this the greatest week in crypto history? On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by Pat Wood, President and CEO of DelphX Capital Markets, to break down an explosive week across the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin comes roaring back with a massive rally and surging ETF inflows, while activity and volatility heat up in IBIT and MSTR. We examine what the move means for Bitcoin traders, whether this rally has staying power, and why Pat believes the next generation of digital asset treasuries needs to think beyond simply buying and holding. Then we venture into the Altcoin Universe, where the rally is spreading fast. Ethereum finally wakes up, Solana shows signs of life, XRP surges, and HYPE/Hyperliquid continues to generate serious buzz. We also examine the wild options activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle (CRCL), and PUR, including the rush for upside exposure as crypto traders embrace the rally. Plus, we discuss: Bitcoin's monster weekly rally and whether it can continue The resurgence in IBIT options volume and volatility MSTR, Michael Saylor and the future of digital asset treasury strategies Using covered calls and collars in crypto Ethereum's dramatic comeback The latest action in Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and other altcoins The growing excitement surrounding Hyperliquid and HYPE Why crypto market structure may be entering a new phase

MSTR down 73% since last year. Michael Saylor says a Strategy share buyback isn't a priority, but he'd consider it if MSTR trades at a deep enough discount to net asset value. The stock is down about 73% year-over-year as Strategy builds a $4.8 billion cash reserve.

Michael Saylor and Phong Le sat down with Natalie Brunell to take questions directly from Strategy investors — including some pointed concerns about MSTR's sharp drawdown, dilution and whether common shareholders are still the company's top priority. One investor said he put $73,000 into MSTR for each of his three children, only to see each investment fall to roughly $20,000. He asked Saylor and Le directly: have common shareholders become Strategy's lowest priority? In this episode: Michael and Phong address dilution fears around $MSTR common stock  Are $MSTR buybacks are on the table, and under what conditions?

It's been an absolute whirlwind in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the Canadian Bitcoiners are here to make sense of the noise.On this episode, we unpack the widening fallout from the Coldcard vulnerability, dive deep into the contentious BIP-110 proposal and the looming threat of a chain split, and break down why infrastructure providers like Boltz and Zeus had to take services offline following a wave of AI-assisted attacks. Plus, BTCPay Server urges users to upgrade, corporate treasuries like MSTR and MARA make moves on their Bitcoin stacks, and we share our thoughts on what all of this means for the future of self-custody and network security.

On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo welcomes Adam Bergman, founder of IRA Financial, to the Crypto Hot Seat for a deep dive into crypto, taxes and retirement accounts. They discuss why investors may want crypto exposure in their IRAs, the potential tax advantages of trading crypto and options in retirement accounts, buying Bitcoin directly versus using ETFs and digital asset treasury companies, the role of gold alongside crypto, and whether investor attention is shifting from digital assets toward AI and other hot equities.

We break down the latest activity in Bitcoin, IBIT and MSTR before venturing into the altcoin universe for ETH, BMNR, CRCL, PURR, Solana, XRP, DOGE and more. Plus, we examine where options traders are still finding opportunities as volatility and trading activity cool off for the summer.

In this crypto watercooler episode, Amanda and Tony discuss the latest on the CLARITY Act in the Senate, BlackRock's launch of two new tokenized funds, BNY's rollout of crypto staking, Strategy's latest Bitcoin sale, Michael Saylor's appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast, and the recent Coldcard Bitcoin wallet hack.

David Siemer still sees a chance the CLARITY Act gets passed in Congress, but admits it is not a great chance. He addresses the pullback in Bitcoin calling it a "reversion to the mean" as well as the perceived winners in on-chain tokenized solutions like Ethereum. David also weighs in on Michael Saylor and Strategy's (MSTR) decision to sell some of its Bitcoin holdings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

$89 million left "the safest place to keep Bitcoin" in a single weekend — and the attacker never touched a device. This week the Coldcard flaw turned the whole self-custody-versus-exchange debate into the wrong argument. I break down what actually failed (a layer below anything a user could see), why "cold wallet" tells you almost nothing on its own, and the structural lens that separated the holders who lost everything from the ones who didn't.

In this episode of The Wrap with Chris Whalen, Chris breaks down why the stablecoin boom may be running out of road — giving the Clarity Act less than 50/50 odds and arguing it could strip the yield out of coins, force issuers offshore, and turn the survivors into banks. He makes the case that stablecoins are little more than "prepaid gift cards," lays out why he's bullish on gold and silver as central banks and China chase physical metal, and warns that real inflation — measured by commodity inputs like energy and sulfur (up 150% since the Iran war), not the CPI — is closing in on double digits. Whalen also sees the 10-year Treasury pushing past 5% and mortgages settling into a "higher for longer" 6.5–7%, flags the mortgage sector as the earnings story to watch, takes aim at Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy, points to safer places to find yield, and keeps circling back to one unsettling parallel: today looks a lot like the 1920s, right before the party ended.Thank you to our sponsor, Monetary Metals.

Michael Saylor's "never sell" era is OVER. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC (~$216M) at a 20% loss to cover $1.8B in dividend obligations — and Canadian pensions are holding close to $1B of MSTR stock. On June 29, Strategy's board adopted its "Digital Credit Capital Framework": $1B stock buybacks, a 12% STRC dividend, and a $1.25B "BTC Monetization Program" authorizing Bitcoin sales "when strategic." CEO Phong Le calls it "evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management." The mNAV premium that financed five years of buying has collapsed from 2.66x to around 1x — and one in three Bitcoin treasury companies now trades below the value of its coins.

Joe Consorti joins Walker to break down the macro forces driving Bitcoin, including the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and the prospect of an inflationary recession. Joe explains why an oil supply shock cannot be solved by higher interest rates, why the Fed may ultimately cut rather than hike, and how political pressure ahead of the midterms could shape markets. They also examine Strategy's controversial Bitcoin sales and dismantle claims that the company, MSTR, or its STRC preferred equity is caught in a “death spiral.” Joe explains Strategy's debt structure, the risk of forced Bitcoin liquidation, its push for inclusion in the S&P 500, and how the company can sell BTC to fund dividends while remaining a net buyer over time. Finally, Joe shares why monetary debasement sustains his long-term Bitcoin conviction—and how his Christian faith keeps him grounded amid political, economic, and geopolitical uncertainty.

Even as ETFs and MicroStrategy sell into weakness, natural spot demand has kept Bitcoin from collapsing in what may be the shallowest bear market on record.

His framework distinguishes price pain from the subsequent time pain that historically marks the true bottom.Checkmate examines why short-term holders flipped into high-conviction buyers, why 53K realized price now acts as a floor, the Pareto distribution among Bitcoin treasury companies, and why most copycat strategies will fail in the months ahead.Timestamps:00:56 — Last Day of Bear Feels Worst03:26 — Time Pain Grinds Out Weak Hands05:53 — Shallowest Bear Market Ever Seen08:53 — Spot Buyers Saving Bitcoin From Zero11:14 — Short-Term Holders Are Now Smart Money15:28 — July Bear Bottom: 8-Method Average18:50 — 53K Realized Price Now the Floor23:00 — Buy Bottom 15% and Just DCA28:30 — The AI Trade30:46 — Bitcoin and Gold Share a Rare Moat35:23 — Will Most Bitcoin Treasuries Fail?37:37 — MSTR's Sale of Bitcoin41:28 — Bitcoin Treasuries Follow Harsh Pareto Rule47:30 — Bitcoin Treasuries Next Cycle49:05 — High-Yield Trap?Links: https://x.com/_Checkmatey_https://x.com/_checkonchaincheckonchain.comhttps://charts.checkonchain.comhttp://newsletter.checkonchain.com/Stephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack#StephanLivera #StephanLiveraPodcast #Bitcoin #BearMarket #OnChain #Checkmate #TimePain #RealizedPrice #BitcoinTreasury #MarketCycles

For years, Michael Saylor's Strategy was the market's most dependable Bitcoin buyer. Recently, it has done the opposite. Strategy just sold 3,588 Bitcoin for roughly $216 million, its largest single tranche yet, deepening the question of whether Michael Saylor has become a structural seller instead of a buyer. Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins break down the STRC dividend mechanics behind the sale, the bull case for a catch-up trade, and the bear case if Bitcoin never rallies back. Hosts: Austin Campbell, Host of Bits + Bips, Founder of Zero Knowledge Group, and Adjunct Professor at NYU Stern Ram Ahluwalia, Co-host of Bits + Bips and CEO of Lumida Chris Perkins, Co-host of Bits + Bips and Head of Franklin Crypto This clip is from a longer conversation on Strategy's Bitcoin sale, the stablecoin wars, and the token versus equity debate.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down Rogers’ move to take full control of MLSE and what the rising valuation of professional sports franchises says about scarcity, live sports, and media rights. We also look at the federal government’s investment agreement with Teck Resources and why critical minerals are becoming a national security priority. We then discuss Microsoft’s latest round of layoffs, the paradox of AI-driven growth alongside continued job cuts, and whether big tech is reallocating too aggressively toward AI infrastructure. We also explain the mini-tender offer involving Sun Life, why these offers can be problematic for retail investors, and what shareholders should watch for. Finally, we cover Strategy’s decision to sell Bitcoin despite Michael Saylor’s long-standing stance, and Nike’s latest earnings, where the headline numbers looked better than the underlying turnaround story.

Michael Saylor siempre defendió una idea: comprar Bitcoin y no vender jamás. Pero Strategy, antes MicroStrategy, acaba de abrir una grieta enorme en ese relato: la compañía ya ha vendido BTC para pagar dividendos de sus valores preferentes y además tiene autorizado un programa para monetizar hasta $1.25B en Bitcoin. En este directo analizamos qué está pasando realmente con Saylor, MSTR y Bitcoin: - Por qué Strategy vendió Bitcoin. - Qué dice exactamente el filing 8-K. - Cómo funciona la maquinaria financiera de MicroStrategy. - Por qué Bitcoin no genera yield ni dividendos. - De dónde sale entonces el dinero para pagar a los inversores. - Qué papel juegan las preferentes, la deuda y la reserva en dólares. - Si esto es una genialidad financiera o una bomba de relojería. - Por qué recuerda, salvando distancias, al escándalo de las preferentes en España. No se trata de atacar Bitcoin de forma simplona. La pregunta seria es otra: ¿qué ocurre cuando construyes deuda, dividendos y promesas de rentabilidad encima de un activo que no genera caja?✅SIN CENSURA en SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@magnatesladrillo✅¿Necesitas un PSI (Personal Shopper Inmobiliario) para acompañarte a invertir en bienes raíces en la Com.Madrid?: magnatesladrillo@gmail.com✅Si vas en serio «La Biblia del Magnate del Ladrillo» está AQUÍ✅

Michael Saylor built his entire identity around one promise: he would never sell Bitcoin. Last week, that promise ended.Strategy's board voted to authorize selling Bitcoin to cover dividend payments and build cash reserves — in the middle of MSTR and STRC crashing to record lows, the yield blowing up, and confidence in the whole experiment starting to crack.Is this a rational pivot? Or the beginning of the end for the world's largest corporate Bitcoin treasury?This week on The Defiant, I sat down with Scott Melker and Kaleo to get into all of it: the hollow signaling, the STRC question, whether Saylor should rip the Band-Aid and sell billions now — and what any of this actually means for Bitcoin.Spoiler: they disagree. Strongly.Guests: Scott Melker | Kaleo (CryptoKaleo)Topics: Strategy, Michael Saylor, Bitcoin, MSTR, STRC, corporate Bitcoin treasury, convertible debt

Strategy (MSTR) is selling more Bitcoin, though Charles Schwab's Jim Ferraioli says the company's plans buy it "enough time" to balance cash reserves for its Stretch (STRC) preferred stock. When it comes to Bitcoin, he talks about what he calls "classic" moves the cryptocurrency is currently experiencing and weighs fundamentals against current narratives. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Crypto News: Bitcoin chart signals show the crypto market bottom is near. Ripple CEO stays bullish on bitcoin but says Saylor's strategy has hurt crypto.Brought to you by

In this crypto town hall show, Dave, Scott, and Peter Schiff discuss Michael Saylor and Strategy's new manifesto and market reaction. Topics include Strategy's long-term Bitcoin appreciation bet with no near-term selling or buying, 25-month reserves via preferreds, share repurchases, dividends, and capped BTC sales. They analyze MSTR outperforming in BTC rallies but lagging in flat markets, STRC as high-yield debt tied to future Bitcoin price, and dismissal of 2022-style forced liquidation waves. Crypto sentiment covers retail exodus and fear versus net platform buys and Solana's surprising strength and adoption. Ethereum foundation shifts are noted. The core debate examines token economics and valuations: Bitcoin as unmatched digital gold with superior security and global PoW access, versus utility tokens on Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, single-use chains, and compute tokens potentially accruing value through fees, tokenization, or agentic commerce — or remaining narrative-driven distortions like the internet bubble, without real economics flowing to holders per DTCC-style analogies. Regulatory challenges around the Howey test and token pass-through are touched on, alongside a light Dogecoin versus Bitcoin exchange. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bitcoin just had its WORST ETF month in history — $4.1 BILLION pulled in June, with BlackRock's IBIT alone accounting for $3 billion — while gold is holding $4,000 even as the US and Iran traded fresh attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin is now down 30% YTD and on track for a second straight quarterly loss, with legendary investor Jeremy Grantham — who called both the dot-com and 2008 crashes — predicting on CNBC that Bitcoin will "dwindle away with a whimper." Meanwhile Peter Schiff just issued a fresh Saylor warning: MSTR can't sell Bitcoin without crashing the market, and even STOPPING buys would crush the price. Brad Garlinghouse called STRC's slide below par a "damning indictment" of Saylor's strategy as Strategy stock hit its lowest level since February 2024. Saylor responded by teasing more buying with his "we're gonna need more charts" post. We break down whether gold has officially won the safe-haven trade — and what Thursday's Jobs Report could mean for Bitcoin's July. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Vinny Lingham, co-founder of Praxos Capital, tweeted in October 2024 that Michael Saylor would do more damage to Bitcoin than FTX. On Unchained, he argues the collapse was always predictable, and that this is not a Ponzi but what he calls a 'Saylor scheme.' Lingham maps how the empire breaks once MSTR trades at a discount to mNAV, why the 32-Bitcoin sale and the $1.5 billion buyback of 2029 converts blew Saylor's runway, and why $6.7 billion in convertible notes raises default risk by 2028. He also weighs a Soros-style attack theory and the switch to bimonthly dividends. His fix is the one thing Saylor won't do: stop buying, stop diluting, wait it out. The question is who removes the biggest buyer of Bitcoin, him or the market.

Crypto News: Bitcoin crashes down to $58,000. Rosen Law Firm is looking to launch a class action lawsuit against Michael Saylor's Strategy. Financial giant SBI Holdings agrees to buy Japanese Bitcoin exchange 'Bitbank' for $288 million.Brought to you by

Bitcoin just hit its lowest level since October 2024 — dipping as low as $58,000 with US spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing RECORD investor flight. The bear catalysts are stacking faster than any point this cycle: Saylor's Strategy just hit a 2-year low (-46% in 30 days), STRC briefly cratered to $74 (designed for $100), the company has only ~10 months of dividend coverage left with $1.2B in annual obligations, and Rosen Law Firm just launched a class action probe — with Saylor responding only that "volatility tests every capital structure." Add Binance LEAVING the EU after failing MiCA (France, Italy, Poland, Spain), the Nasdaq losing $1 TRILLION in 27 minutes today with no headline trigger, BitGo laying off 15% of staff, and the CLARITY Act at real risk of slipping to fall. But the bull signals are quietly stacking: US households are sitting on $3.2 TRILLION in cash (record high), Tom Lee's BitMine just joined the Russell 1000, SBI is acquiring Japan's largest crypto exchange, and Kalshi is targeting a $40 BILLION valuation.

Cole came from a pension background and built Strive into one of the largest Bitcoin treasury companies around a single conviction: that structured credit can solve an income problem fiat can't. The critics, he argues, can't even agree with each other on what is actually wrong. Was last week a leverage liquidation or a crack in the model? Did Michael Saylor quietly change his story? And is wrapping Bitcoin in preferred stock a betrayal of its ethos or the bridge most people actually need? Laura Shin pressed on all of it.
