American financial services company MSCI’s October consultation on “digital asset treasury companies” arrived at a time when the mechanics of Bitcoin (BTC) exposure had already begun to fracture.

A rare setup has appeared as Bitcoin hits depressed Sharpe levels.

Exodus is using its Bitcoin reserves to back a $175 million acquisition of W3C Corp, bringing Monavate and Baanx under its roof as it expands into onchain payments.

Hashprice, which tracks miner revenue per unit of computing power, fell below $35 per hash, dropping under the $45/PH/s median total hashprice reported by public mining companies. The decline leaves several operators approaching breakeven levels. Read more

For all the talk that this cycle is somehow “different,” the structure of Bitcoin’s market still looks unmistakably cyclical to me. Each top brings the same chorus claiming the cycle model is dead, and each cooling phase renews the idea that liquidity alone now sets the trajectory. But the evidence keeps pointing the other way.

Bitcoin analyst James Check argued Bitcoin’s quantum risk is chiefly a consensus dilemma — not a tech one — because the network is unlikely to freeze legacy coins. James Check, founder and lead analyst at Bitcoin onchain analysis service Checkonchain, said Monday that the quantum threat is more of a consensus problem than a technology issue. In a Monday X post, Check claimed that “there is no chance we come to consensus to freeze” Bitcoin (BTC) that is not moved to quantum-resistant addresses, with development politics limiting the community’s ability to react. This means that a large amount of lost Bitcoin will flood the market as old addresses are compromised when quantum computer attacks become feasible. BitBo data shows that 32.4% of all Bitcoin has not been moved in the last five years, 16.8% in over 10 years, 8.2% in seven to 10 years and 5.4% in five to seven years. How much of those assets are actually lost or inaccessible, and how many are kept in storage for is subject to debate. Read more
