🚀 Bitcoin Market Divides Amid Ongoing U.S.-Iran Tensions
The Bitcoin market is experiencing a notable division amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions, which have persisted for approximately six weeks. According to ChainCatcher, the market is split between passive buyers, such as those involved with Strategy and spot ETFs, who continue to accumulate, and entities like whales, mining companies, and some sovereign holders, who are reducing their holdings.
On the selling side, there is a clear trend: whale addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC have shifted from net buying to significant net selling, with their holdings changing from an increase of about 200,000 BTC to a decrease of 188,000 BTC this year. Publicly listed mining companies, under pressure from high costs, have also been selling off, with weekly sales exceeding 19,000 BTC. Additionally, sovereign holders like Bhutan have reduced their Bitcoin reserves by approximately 70% since October 2024.
Analysts note that despite market sentiment reaching extreme fear levels, Bitcoin's price has remained within the $65,000 to $73,000 range. This stability suggests that the price floor is primarily supported by a few institutional buyers. The current market's buying base is narrowing, and future trends will depend on whether institutional capital inflows can continue and break through key resistance levels.

🚀 Michael Saylor Suggests Bitcoin May Have Bottomed, Downplays Quantum Computing Risks
PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter). Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, expressed at a Mizuho event that Bitcoin likely reached its bottom near $60,000 in early February. He attributed this bottoming more to a depletion of sellers rather than valuation factors. Saylor noted that current selling pressure is limited, with ETF inflows absorbing daily supply and corporations allocating treasury assets to Bitcoin, which sustains demand.
Regarding the recent discussions on the threat of quantum computing, Saylor believes the risks are overstated. He stated that the threat remains theoretical and may not need to be addressed for several decades, by which time solutions will likely be available.

🚀 StarkWare Researcher Proposes Complex Bitcoin Transaction Scheme
StarkWare researcher Avihu Mordechai Levy has introduced a Bitcoin transaction scheme that aims to circumvent the need for a protocol change. According to NS3.AI, the proposed method involves solving a pre-broadcast puzzle, which would necessitate approximately 70 trillion attempts. Levy characterized this design as a last-resort solution due to its significant computational demands, large transaction size, and potential relay-policy challenges, all of which could hinder scalability.

🚀 CZ: Crypto vs Traditional Finance Is a False Divide — 'It's Just a New Technology for Finance'
Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets Podcast, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) revealed that he shared his memoir Freedom of Money with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and obtained a quote from him, praising Fink as an example of someone who publicly changed his mind on Bitcoin and pushed it hard afterwards. CZ said he views the framing of crypto versus traditional finance as a false dichotomy — crypto is simply a new technology for finance, and convergence between the two is inevitable, with tokenization of real-world assets as a key driver. On access, CZ argued that any person anywhere in the world should be able to buy any listed stock, calling current restrictions an anomaly that blockchain can help resolve. CZ said the "72 principles" attributed to him online were counted by a Chinese KOL on X, not by him; he removed numbered headings intentionally. He said the principles blog began after a meeting with Ray Dalio in 2021 or 2022, during which Dalio encouraged him to write down his decision-making principles, and it is included as an appendix in Freedom of Money.

🚀 Stablecoin-Like Tokens Backed by Strategy's Shares Surpass $100 Million
Since January, at least three issuers have introduced stablecoin-like tokens primarily backed by Strategy's Stretch perpetual preferred shares, collectively managing over $100 million. According to NS3.AI, these products expand Michael Saylor's borrow-to-buy-Bitcoin strategy into an additional layer of leverage, which remains vulnerable if Bitcoin's value declines.

🚀 Bitcoin's Current Market Correction Appears Milder Than Previous Cycles
On April 12, crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr commented on the current Bitcoin market correction. According to BlockBeats, Adler noted that this correction seems significantly milder compared to the bear markets of the 2017-18 and 2021-22 cycles. However, he cautioned that the current level of correction is insufficient to confirm a market bottom.
In previous cycles, the maximum drawdowns were -54% for 2021-22, -64% for 2017-18, and -43% for 2013-15. The current market dynamics suggest a mild bear market, not yet reaching a deep capitulation phase, making it premature to confirm a bottom or a true market recovery. The analyst emphasized that the current situation is more of a pause in the bear market rather than a reversal of trends.
