Bitcoin (BTC) may have endured a sharp pullback in the final quarter of the year, but the sell-off has only reinforced its position as the crypto market’s most resilient and indispensable asset. When leverage unwound and risk appetite vanished, Bitcoin once again stood apart—outperforming the broader market even as prices fell.

Michael Saylor urged governments to create Bitcoin-backed digital bank accounts to offer higher returns than traditional deposits. He suggested such accounts could attract trillions in global savings, but Bitcoin’s volatility and regulatory challenges make the idea risky.

Analysts from Bitcoin For Corporations (BFC) are accusing JP Morgan Chase of orchestrating the October 10, 2025, crypto market crash, alleging the bank strategically resurfaced a 42-day-old internal investor note to reignite fears around MicroStrategy.

Michael Saylor’s company has seen big losses as Bitcoin falls below $90,000, leaving around 40% of its holdings unprofitable. Recent purchases above current market prices have added nearly $100 million in unrealised losses, putting pressure on the company’s stock and strategy.

Peter Schiff criticised Michael Saylor and Strategy, calling their Bitcoin-focused business model a “fraud” and challenging Saylor to a debate. The attack comes as Bitcoin fell below $99,000 and Strategy’s stock dropped over 50% since July, while gold remains strong above $4,000 an ounce.

Bitcoin fell back to its end-2024 price as traders pulled away from risky assets and ETF outflows picked up. The drop followed fading excitement over the Trump administration’s crypto stance and rising fears across global markets.

Michael Saylor continues his unwavering focus on Bitcoin as his company, Strategy, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) of shares denominated in euros. The move marks a significant shift in direction for the company, designed to raise funds specifically for purchasing more Bitcoin while expanding into new capital markets.

US lawmakers are meeting with crypto leaders to discuss a bill that would let the government buy one million Bitcoin over five years. The plan aims to build a strategic Bitcoin reserve using budget-neutral funding, but it needs wider political support to move forward.

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee said Ethereum may have reached its lowest point “within hours” as the crypto market began to recover. He highlighted that ETH’s current setup offers a strong risk-to-reward scenario, with a potential rebound to $5,100–$5,450 if the trend holds.

Strategy now holds over 600,000 Bitcoin worth nearly $71 billion, making it one of the biggest corporate treasuries in the US. Its chairman, Michael Saylor, has hinted at another large Bitcoin purchase with a cryptic post online.
