Bitcoin mining stocks down after Microsoft scraps data center plans Microsoft has reportedly cut plans to invest in data centers in the US and Europe, driving cryptocurrency miner stocks to tumble on March 26. Shares of crypto miners Bitfarms, CleanSpark, Core Scientific, Hut 8, Marathon Digital and Riot dropped between 4% and 12% in tandem with the news, the data showed. The stock price retrenchments highlight cryptocurrency miners’ increased dependence on business from artificial intelligence models after the Bitcoin network’s April 2024 “halving” cut into mining revenues. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-mining-stocks-down-after-microsoft-reportedly

MicroStrategy’s $10B Win Signals It’s Bitcoin Bull Season, and BTC Bull Token Leads the Stampede Michael Saylor is smiling today – and for good reason. The legendary Bitcoin bull and co-founder of MicroStrategy just hit a milestone that would make even the most hardened crypto skeptic raise an eyebrow. "His company’s $BTC bet is now over $10B in profit, all thanks to one thing: buying the dip like it’s a clearance sale." But Saylor’s not alone in this stampede of confidence. Just yesterday, another crypto whale scooped up 2.4K $BTC, worth over $200M, adding to a stash that now tops $1.3B. And to make things even more dramatic, a dormant wallet – untouched for eight years – suddenly came to life. When the whales start moving, it’s not a ripple. It’s a tsunami. https://bitcoinist.com/microstrategy-win-signals-its-btc-bull-token-season/

This Week in Bitcoin: Volatility Rises as ETFs Rebound and SEC Gives OK to Mining Bitcoin had a relatively calm week following so much recent chaos, with ETF flows in the green and the SEC delivering good news on mining. It was another up-and-down week for Bitcoin, after news from the central bank sent the biggest cryptocurrency up, then back down again. And we've basically landed right back where we started. Right now, Bitcoin's price now stands at $84,150 per coin after not budging over a seven-day period, according to CoinGecko data. It's up 0.2% on the day, but totally flat on the week. The asset jumped briefly after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told reporters Wednesday that everything was under control and that President Trump's tariffs would have a "transitory" effect on inflation. https://decrypt.co/311107/this-week-bitcoin-volatility-rises-etfs-rebound

Holy Wager: Bettors Back 3% Odds for Jesus’ 2025 Return on Polymarket The bet, hosted on blockchain-powered platform prediction marketplace Polymarket, has drawn $44,760 in trading volume, with speculators wagering on whether biblical prophecies will culminate in a 2025 Second Coming. While most theologians dismiss date-setting, the market reflects niche interpretations of scripture gaining traction online. Central to the 2025 theory are two fringe analyses. The Church of God Ministry posits a 24-year “redeemed time” period starting in 2000 and ending in the fall of 2025. Another group, dubbed Free Gift From God, recalibrates Daniel’s “Seventy Weeks” prophecy using a 1535 Ottoman decree, linking Cardinal George Pell’s 2018 conviction to a seven-year countdown to 2025. https://news.bitcoin.com/holy-wager-bettors-back-3-odds-for-jesus-2025-return-on-polymarket/

Bitcoin is trading at $84,502, commanding a market cap of $1.67 trillion, representing 60.3% dominance in the $2.78 trillion crypto economy. With a 24-hour trading volume of $26 billion and an intraday price range between $81,294 and $84,852, bitcoin remains 22.2% below its all-time high, facing key resistance and support levels across multiple timeframes. On the 1-hour chart, bitcoin is forming a short-term uptrend after rebounding from $81,138 to a high of $84,871. The market is printing higher highs and higher lows, supported by increasing volume, indicating building momentum. A pullback to the $83,000–$83,500 range could provide an optimal entry for short-term traders, while a breakout above $85,000 may push the price toward the $87,000–$88,000 range. However, if bitcoin fails to hold above $82,500, further downside toward $81,000 is possible. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-price-watch-bulls-aim-for-90k-but-resistance-stands-in-the-way/

Bank Of Korea Takes Cautious Stance On Bitcoin As Reserve The Bank of Korea has stated that it is approaching the idea of including Bitcoin in its foreign exchange reserves with caution, citing concerns over the cryptocurrency’s extreme price volatility. In a 16 March 2025 response to a written inquiry, central bank officials confirmed that they have neither discussed nor reviewed the possibility of adding Bitcoin to South Korea’s foreign reserves. Their response came after Representative Cha Gyu-geun of the National Assembly’s Planning and Finance Committee raised the issue. According to reports from The Korea Herald, the central bank stressed that a “cautious approach is needed.” https://99bitcoins.com/news/bank-of-korea-takes-cautious-stance-on-bitcoin-as-reserve/

LIBRA Controversy: Was The Token’s $1.16 Billion Surge Rigged? DWF Report Says Yes Within an hour, a meme coin on the Solana blockchain, LIBRA, ballooned to a market value of $1.16 billion before quickly disintegrating. According to sources, early buyers of the LIBRA token profited millions of dollars while regular investors ended up scratching their heads with nothing. Shortly after its launch, LIBRA reportedly saw an unprecedented rise in value. But the excitement quickly turned to misery. Approximately 75,000 traders lost their first deposits when the token fell more than 90% in value. The damage, analysts said, were more than $280 million. https://bitcoinist.com/libra-controversy-was-the-tokens-1-15-billion-surge-rigged-dwf-report-says-yes/

Massive Campaign Uses Over 700K Wallets in Cryptojacking Scheme A cryptojacking campaign that encompasses the use of over 700K cryptocurrency addresses has been unveiled by cybersecurity company Ciberark. Massjacker is a crypto jacking tool, meaning that it hijacks the clipboard of the infected devices, changing the cryptocurrency addresses into others, and making people deposit crypto to addresses different than the ones intended. Ciberark estimated that over $300K had been stolen using this malware, which originated in pesktop[.]com, a site that distributes pirated software. Nonetheless, while Ciberark believed this to be the work of a single threat actor or group, it acknowledged several actors could be linked to this campaign. https://news.bitcoin.com/massive-campaign-uses-over-700k-wallets-in-cryptojacking-scheme/

Senate panel advances debanking bill to block regulators from using reputational risk in supervision The Senate Banking Committee voted to advance a bill that would eliminate references to reputational risk as a way for federal regulators to supervise financial institutions. The committee voted 13- 11 to advance that bill to the Senate on Thursday during a markup where the committee also voted to move forward with a bill to regulate stablecoins. Work would still need to be done on the House side. The bill, called the Financial Integrity and Regulation Management Act, aims to address concerns around debanking and would block regulators from using reputational risk to supervise risk — following the crypto industry's condemnation of government agencies they say are cutting them off from the financial sector. Notably, Democrats did not vote to support the bill. https://www.theblock.co/post/346219/senate-panel-advances-debanking-bill-to-block-regulators-from-using-reputational-risk-in-supervision

SEC postpones ruling on Fidelity Ether ETF options The agency delayed similar proposed rule changes by other exchanges in February. The agency has given itself until May 14 to approve or disapprove of Cboe BZX’s request to list options tied to Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), according to a March 12 SEC filing. Cboe BZX initially requested to list options on Fidelity’s Ether ETFs in January, the filing said. Listing options on Ether funds is an important step in attracting institutional capital to the cryptocurrency.

Spruce Point Capital Is Betting Against Remitly Global Stock, Short Seller Says Shares Could Fall To $9 Amid 'Tectonic Shift' Across Industry Spruce Point Capital Management has announced a new short position against Remitly Global Inc RELY as the short seller believes there’s reason to be skeptical of the company’s financial reporting and valuation. What To Know: Spruce Point targeted Remitly Global in a new bearish research report that provides evidence of doctored reviews and unreliable accounting practices, suggesting the stock is overvalued.
