After weeks of reporting Bitcoin purchases hovering around 400 to 500 BTC, Michael Saylor’s company announced a massive crypto investment on Monday. The company behind the largest Bitcoin treasury announced it had returned to buying large amounts of the cryptocurrency following a $835 million purchase. In a Monday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Michael Saylor’s Strategy reported acquiring 8,178 Bitcoin (BTC) for about $835 million.

The acquisition came amid significant volatility in the price of Bitcoin. According to data from Nansen, BTC price fell by about 11% in the previous seven days, reaching $94,191 at time of publication. Read more
Brazil isn’t buying Bitcoin for sovereign reserves. Instead, cities, corporates and B3 products are creating a regulated path to treasury use. Brazil’s moves are corporate and municipal, not sovereign. B3’s spot ETFs and resized 0.01-BTC futures let treasurers gain, size and hedge exposure using familiar tools. New VASP standards (licensing, AML/CFT, governance, security), effective February 2026, reduce operational uncertainty. Read more
Corporations have quietly amassed nearly 7% of the Bitcoin supply, as analysts note a growing institutional influence on the crypto market’s liquidity. Corporate Bitcoin holdings continue to climb, but treasury executives argue the trend is strengthening, not weakening, decentralization across the network. Despite increasing concerns about concentrated Bitcoin (BTC) ownership, emerging corporate treasury firms and new institutional players are contributing to broader distribution across the ecosystem, according to several executives speaking at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025. “At the end of the day, what we are doing is really decentralizing Bitcoin. It doesn’t seem like that, but it is the case through the demand that we provide in the market,” said Alexander Laizet, board director of Bitcoin strategy at Capital B. Read more

With just under 2 million Bitcoin that will ever be mined from here on out, Bitcoin’s “real story” is about to unfold. Bitcoin’s total circulating supply has just crossed 95% of its 21 million hard supply cap — a massive milestone baked in nearly 17 years ago when creator Satoshi Nakamoto mined the genesis block on Jan. 3, 2009. With 19.95 million Bitcoin now in circulation, this leaves just 2.05 million Bitcoin to be mined. The question is, what does this mean for the future of Bitcoin and its price? Speaking to Cointelegraph, Thomas Perfumo, a global economist at crypto exchange Kraken, said it’s an important milestone in the Bitcoin narrative, because annual supply inflation is currently around 0.8% per annum, and hard money “requires a credible narrative for people to confidently adopt a currency as a store of value.” Read more
Adam Back says Bitcoin faces no meaningful quantum threat for at least the next 20–40 years, adding that NIST-approved post-quantum standards can be adopted in time. Adam Back, the cryptographer and cypherpunk cited in the Bitcoin white paper, said Bitcoin is unlikely to face a meaningful threat from quantum computing for at least two to four decades. Responding to an X user on Nov. 15 who asked whether Bitcoin (BTC) is at risk, Back wrote that “probably not for 20–40 years,” adding that there are already post-quantum encryption standards approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that Bitcoin could implement “long before cryptographically relevant quantum computers arrive.” The discussion began with a user posting a video of Canadian-American venture capitalist and entrepreneur Chamath Palihapitiya, who predicted that the quantum threat to Bitcoin would become a reality in two to five years. He noted that to break SHA-256 — the encryption standard that Bitcoin relies on — quantum c...
