Elon Musk has publicly endorsed a critique comparing AI firm Anthropic and its CEO Dario Amodei to the disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, citing "FTX energy" and shared ties to effective altruism. Musk's comments come amid an AI arms race where his company xAI is a direct competitor to Anthropic. This public comparison, especially given SBF's history of using stolen FTX funds to invest in Anthropic, adds a layer of controversy to the AI sector.

The Altcoin Season Index is showing signs of an upward trend, suggesting a potential shift away from Bitcoin's dominance. While not yet meeting the formal 'altcoin season' threshold, indicators like declining BTC dominance and stablecoin capital waiting to deploy point to a possible transition phase. Analysts note that altcoins often outperform during Bitcoin's corrective cycles, with recent data suggesting relative bottoms for altcoins against BTC.
Bitcoin's mining difficulty has seen a significant 15% increase, tightening miner economics. This adjustment, occurring while BTC trades in the mid-$60,000s, puts pressure on less efficient miners to sell coins to cover operational costs. While this introduces short-term selling pressure, it also acts as a clearing event, potentially leading to a more efficient mining base and strengthening network security over time.
Institutional investors are increasingly viewing digital assets as a core allocation within alternative investments, despite recent market downturns. Family offices lead this interest, while traditional wealth managers face client demand. Regulatory clarity remains the primary hurdle for broader institutional adoption, though sentiment has shifted from skepticism to acceptance.
MicroStrategy (STRC) is increasing the preferred dividend rate on its STRC preferred stock to 11.5% for March 2026.

Despite a significant Q4 loss, MicroStrategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin.
This week's crypto news highlights a significant Uniswap phishing scam that cost a trader six figures after clicking a fake ad. Meanwhile, Engie is exploring Bitcoin mining for surplus solar power in Brazil, and Numo launched a tap-to-pay Bitcoin app via Cashu. Binance CEO Richard Teng refuted claims of facilitating $1.7 billion in crypto transfers to Iran, though regulatory scrutiny persists.
Bitcoin Empire, a mobile game, allows players to earn small amounts of real Bitcoin by simulating a mining operation. Despite its premise, the game is criticized for its repetitive gameplay, excessive ads, and extremely low reward rate, yielding less than a penny per hour. The developer, Fumb Games, has released similar titles with better returns.
Tokenized gold has seen explosive growth, with its market cap exceeding $6B and trading volume surging 1,550% in 2025, surpassing traditional gold ETFs. Regulatory clarity in the EU and Singapore is hardening, pushing for strict 1:1 backing and audits, which is expected to drive consolidation. The sector is increasingly seen as a foundational RWA asset, offering a digital safe haven and 24/7 price discovery.
Strategy (STRC) has increased its preferred series dividend by 25 basis points to 11.5%, aiming to maintain its $100 par value. This move comes as Strategy's common stock (MSTR) experienced its eighth consecutive monthly decline in February, mirroring Bitcoin's (BTC) downturn. The STRC preferred stock is positioned as a high-yield savings vehicle.
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. Analysts are targeting a potential rally to $73,000-$74,000 if key resistance levels are breached. Concerns over oil prices and potential US inflation spikes add a layer of macro uncertainty.
