📊🤔 CEO CQ: #BTC is deflationary. Strategy is buying BTC faster than it's mined. Their 555K BTC is illiquid with no plans to sell. #MSTR's holdings alone mean a -2.23% annual deflation rate—likely higher with other stable institutional holders.

💰 Top 7 Notable Rounds Of This Week

📊👀 #BTC CQ: Binance's bitcoin investors seem to be holding their assets during elevated volatility, mirrored by the unrealized profit of bitcoin reserves. This behavior reflects long-term dedication, in market volatility.

🤔 #BTC Global sovereign funds have started buying Bitcoin on a small scale, but large scale purchases won't happen until the crypto regulatory situation in the US becomes clearer. For BTC to reach $1 million, sovereign funds must recognize it as part of the global financial services infrastructure, believes Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge.

🐳 Whales have accumulated over 880 million #XRP in the past month.

💰📈 #SOL Phantom captured 88% of all wallet‑generated revenue on Solana. Phantom's 0.85% in‑wallet swap fee brought in $17M in April.

The wallet also recently introduced "gasless swaps", which carry a 1.5% fee deducted directly from the swapped token.

🕵️ 110,000 #BTC have been withdrawn from exchanges over the past month.

📊👀 Over 90% of all natively issued stablecoins are concentrated on the three leading blockchain networks: Ethereum, Tron DAO and Solana.

🤑😱 Fear&Greed Index from #BTC and #ETH

🗣 #BTC David Sacks: Bitcoin is scarce, it’s valuable, and that is strategic for the USA to hold on to this as a long-term reserve asset.

📊 #BTC is now larger than four out of seven 'Magnificent 7' companies and is set to surpass the amount of paper US dollars in circulation.

📈 CQ: #BTC’s halving cycles aren’t magic — they’re engineering

What looks like perfect fractals is just math, incentives, and market psychology interacting with one transparent rule:

➡️ block_reward / 2 every 4 years
➡️ max_supply = 21M

This simple code synchronizes surprisingly well with macro cycles — from Fed policy to US elections — but it’s not prophecy. It’s just incentives and scarcity at work.

The chart shows how each halving sparks new dynamics — not because of magic, but because of design.

No aliens. No time machine. Just Bitcoin.

📊 #BTC PlanB: Bitcoin RSI = 69. I expect at least 4 months with an RSI of 80+ as in previous bull markets (2021, 2017, 2013). RSI 80+ is associated with 40%+ monthly returns. 4 months of 40%+ returns will take BTC from $104k to $400k.

📊👀 Kaiko Report:
- Spot trading volumes remained low throughout the rally, indicating that many market participants remain on the sidelines due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty;
- Despite rising prices, market leverage remains relatively low, indicating a lack of retail euphoria;
- #BTC's upside intensity for upcoming expirations remains fairly balanced, indicating a neutral medium-term outlook, while strong short-term upside demand suggests that traders expect bitcoin to remain stable in the coming weeks.
