Despite a significant Q4 loss, MicroStrategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Empire, a mobile game, allows players to earn small amounts of real Bitcoin by simulating a mining operation.

Geopolitical tensions have escalated with Iran reportedly closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy chokepoint.

The market is bracing for a significant supply shock.
A Bitcoin developer demonstrated embedding a 66KB image within a single transaction, bypassing common data storage methods like OP_RETURN and Taproot. This highlights that consensus rules permit such data storage, and attempts to filter "spam" via policy may merely redirect usage to less efficient or more centralized methods. The development directly informs the ongoing debate around BIP-110, a proposal for temporary consensus-level restrictions on data-carrying transactions.
Bitcoin price action remained relatively stable around $67,000 despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with traders awaiting traditional market reactions.

POL price is trading near $0.11, showing a recent surge, with traders watching for price action around the $0.12 resistance level post-fork.

Bitcoin has fallen 45% from its October 2025 all-time high, sparking debate about its market cycle. Grayscale argues this is a mid-cycle correction driven by macro factors and institutional adoption, not a bear market. While some analysts predict new highs in H1 2026 due to ETF inflows and regulatory clarity, others maintain the traditional four-year cycle. The market is split on whether this marks the start of Bitcoin's institutional era or a cyclical reset.
XRP futures trading volume has surged by over 130%, indicating increased short-term speculation and potential for heightened volatility. While the price shows signs of a local rebound, it remains below key moving averages, suggesting the broader trend is still bearish. Traders are closely watching the $1.5 level as a significant target zone, with rapid directional changes possible due to leveraged trading.
An analyst suggests Bitcoin's market bottom may be near, particularly when priced against gold, potentially by February 2026. This contrasts with the USD-denominated forecast extending to late 2026.
