Cointelegraph investigates how public companies are fueling Bitcoin’s rise with a high-stakes strategy that could supercharge the bull run or trigger the next crash. They’re being called “infinite money machines” by some, and “a ticking time bomb” by others.

At the heart of this movement is Strategy — formerly MicroStrategy — which holds more than 590,000 BTC valued at over $60 billion. The company has become one of the most prominent corporate holders of Bitcoin. And it’s not alone. Over 130 companies have added the cryptocurrency to their balance sheets, and the number keeps growing. Read more -

The head of the FHFA said his agency is considering how Bitcoin is counted in qualifying for a mortgage. The US federal home loan regulator is looking into how crypto holdings could help mortgage seekers qualify for home loans. The move comes amid a decline in the number of mortgage applications in recent years as the US experiences a housing crisis.

Bitcoin is creating a new paradigm as an emerging financial asset; several investors are contemplating a shift to adopting the asset for higher returns. Historically, sovereign bonds like the US Treasurys, Japanese government bonds and German Bunds have been go-to assets for risk-averse investors. They are usually perceived to be minimal-risk assets offering steady returns. However, since the emergence of Bitcoin 13 years ago, the narrative of Bitcoin as an alternative to bonds has been gradually growing in the minds of investors. The interplay between the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet and the M1 and M2 money supply is also a significant consideration to help understand why some investors are shifting to Bitcoin (BTC).

Bitcoin’s rising correlation with stocks is less about investor exuberance and more about eroding trust in the dollar. The real story is not a newfound appetite for risk — it’s a flight from the perceived fragility of the US dollar. Opinion by: Vugar Usi Zade, chief operating officer of Bitget Bitcoin’s price has started to sway with the S&P 500, and a chorus of commentators says this proves crypto has “grown up” and joined the ranks of typical risk assets. That reading misses the deeper melody. The real story is not about investors chasing excitement when both markets lurch in the same direction. It is about eroding faith in the money that prices everything and, by extension, in the policies that govern it. Read more -

In a Tuesday hearing, “exploring bipartisan legislative frameworks for digital asset market structure,” the subcommittee chair, Cynthia Lummis, said there had been “a lot of competing committees” on the schedule for the day, which may have explained why only five senators out of the 11 typically on the subcommittee were available to ask questions to former regulators and industry experts.
