June 4 — In hindsight, after Strategy’s earlier test sale of 32 bitcoins (valued at $2.47 million), market sentiment quickly soured. Over the next three days, Bitcoin’s price plummeted by roughly $11,400 total, a 15.6% drop, leading to around $228 billion in total market capitalization losses. On the funding side, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a cumulative net outflow of $1.45 billion in the three trading days following Strategy’s sale announcement, with outflows extending for 13 straight sessions to hit $4.37 billion overall. Separately, multiple on-chain and institutional developments stoked further market jitters: Mt. Gox transferred some of its Bitcoin to the Bitstamp exchange; Bitcoin from Tether’s reserves was moved to Bitfinex for the first time; and crypto asset manager Abraxas Capital began reducing its Bitcoin holdings. Market analysts point out that while Strategy’s sale was modest in scale, as one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders, its selling activity ampli

June 4th — Per monitoring from Hyperinsight (https://t.me/HyperInsight), the so-called "HYPE Spot Whale" today added additional Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) buy orders using five distinct addresses, with plans to acquire 136,000 HYPE spot tokens worth roughly $9.65 million. Over the past four days, this whale has cumulatively placed more than 687,000 HYPE TWAP buy orders, totaling approximately $48.09 million (calculated at a $70 per HYPE price). Monitoring shows the whale submits orders around mid-morning and aims to execute the gradual purchase over the next 24-hour period. The whale utilizes up to a dozen linked addresses, all traced back to addresses suspected of being associated with HYPE’s largest external entity: a16z. These addresses reportedly engaged in extensive consolidation of HYPE spot coins from several major exchanges and other liquidity sources during late May. Since 2026, its associated addresses have accumulated a total of 6.617 million HYPE tokens (valued a

NEW YORK, June 4 (Reuters) — Bill Ackman, founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, warned Wednesday that today’s stock market mirrors the excesses of the 2000 dot-com bubble, as investors pour capital into hot areas like chips, semiconductors and energy while overlooking high-quality companies with solid, sustainable fundamentals. Drawing a parallel to Berkshire Hathaway being dismissed as a “legacy asset” during the dot-com era, Ackman highlighted that today’s tech giants—Amazon, Meta and Microsoft—are facing similar undervaluation due to widespread market sentiment. He noted these firms are his core holdings, yet are trading at unjustly low levels amid current market trends. Ackman revealed he built a position in Microsoft after the stock price dipped following the company’s February 2026 earnings report, calling the tech giant a “key beneficiary” of the global artificial intelligence boom. He emphasized that the AI era has drastically raised disruption risks for businesses,

On June 4, during a stretch where Bitcoin briefly dipped below $63,000, apxUSD — the stablecoin issued by Apyx Protocol and backed primarily by Strategy priority shares (STRC) — briefly broke its peg, hitting a low of $0.93. Apyx clarified that this fluctuation wasn’t a bug, but rather an expected behavior for a stablecoin collateralized by priority shares. ApxUSD’s reserve assets are made up mostly of STRC priority shares with a $100 face value; when STRC’s secondary market price falls below that face value, the reserve’s market value shrinks, leading to swings in the stablecoin’s price. The protocol added that its stability mechanisms include over-collateralization, dividend adjustment tools, and a reserve buffer of cash and short-term Treasury bonds. Data shows that since last August, STRC has traded below its $100 face value four times — yet each instance ended with a rebound back to $100. In response to market worries about cascading liquidations in the Morpho lending space, Ap
