Nearly 200 companies now hold billions in Bitcoin, but a new report cautions that only a few can avoid the dangers of a potential death spiral. Bitcoin’s (BTC) corporate adoption is accelerating fast, with nearly 200 entities now holding over 3 million BTC on their balance sheets. But as new players seem to rush in, only those who can skillfully grow their Bitcoin holdings per share are more likely to survive the risks ahead. As of May 2025, about 199 entities reportedly hold 3.01 million BTC, roughly $315 billion at current prices. Among these, 147 companies — both private and…
Money markets platform Spiko is tapping into Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability protocol to enable multichain access to over $380 million in regulated on-chain funds. The European fintech announced on July 1, 2025, noting that it was integrating Chainlink (LINK), with the strategic aim of bolstering interoperability.

Bitcoin and altcoin prices could stage a strong rally in July after a surprise statement from Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair. In a statement, Powell changed his tune on when the Fed will start cutting interest rates. For the first time this year, he did not rule out slashing rates as soon as in the July meeting. He said: “I really can’t say. It’s going to depend on the data. And we are going meeting by meeting. I wouldn’t take any meeting off the table or put it directly on the table. It’s going to depend on how the data…
Solana is testing a major resistance zone near $178, which has triggered multiple rejections. If price fails to break through, the path opens toward $105.89 — a level that may form a bullish double bottom if defended. Market structure and volume behavior suggest further downside is likely unless bulls reclaim control quickly. Solana (SOL) is currently trading below the $178 resistance, a level that aligns with both the value area high and a key high time frame supply zone. Since establishing the local swing high, price action has formed lower highs and lower lows — a bearish pattern signaling weakness.…

Michael Saylor’s once-unexciting software firm is now on track for a $14 billion windfall, not from enterprise sales, but from Bitcoin’s resurgence. As Wall Street debates whether his model is genius or gibberish, one thing is clear: The rules of corporate value are being rewritten. On July 1st, Bloomberg reported that Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) is poised to book an unrealized $14 billion gain in Q2. This figure would place the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm among elite Wall Street earners like Amazon and JPMorgan. The staggering sum stems not from the company’s software revenue, which remains modest at $112.8 million,…

Memecoins BONK, FARTCOIN, and NOBODY are all hovering at key technical levels, with recent price action hinting at possible bullish reversals if key resistance zones can be broken in the days ahead. Bonk (BONK) is currently trading around $0.000014, having recently tested the upper boundary of a months-long descending channel.
