Microsoft shareholders have voted against a proposal that would essentially force the tech giant’s board of directors to consider buying Bitcoin (BTC). The resolution would have pushed the firm’s board of directors to “conduct an assessment to determine if diversifying the Company’s balance sheet by including Bitcoin is in the best long-term interests of shareholders.” News of the no vote triggered another volatile move in the price of the leading crypto asset, with BTC dropping from a 24-hour high of $98,327 to as low as $94,386. Bitcoin is at $95,251 at time of publishing. Microsoft’s board had formally recommended shareholders…

Bitcoin witnessed its first-ever daily close above $100,000 over the weekend, and one popular analyst believes that BTC is in the early stages of a parabolic upside burst. The pseudonymous trader known as Rekt Capital tells 519,900 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin tends to undergo steep rallies after entering bull territory. According to the crypto strategist, Bitcoin may have nine months or so before ending its parabolic surge based on historical price patterns. “BTC has only just begun its parabolic phase in the cycle. Historically, this phase has lasted on average ~300 days. Bitcoin is only on…
Economist Alex Krüger says Bitcoin (BTC) is likely in the midst of a supercycle with a local top still several months away. The trader tells his 192,500 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin’s fundamentals are now different than prior cycles due to expected changes in the regulatory landscape. He suggests the election of pro-crypto Donald Trump is going to cause the US’s regulatory agencies to embrace Bitcoin. Trump, who assumes office as US president next month, is picking pro-crypto figures to serve in his cabinet. “Do yourself a favor and stop comparing this cycle to prior cycles.…
A top trader known for making timely altcoin predictions says one Dogecoin (DOGE) challenger is primed for a parabolic surge. Pseudonymous analyst Bluntz tells his 304,300 followers on the social media platform X that the time for vertical Shiba Inu (SHIB) rallies is coming.

But it’s coming, SHIB/BTC pair also accumulating at…
A widely-followed analyst known for applying the stock-to-flow model (S2F) to Bitcoin is unveiling his price target for BTC this month. In a new interview with trader Scott Melker, pseudonymous analyst PlanB says that Bitcoin could surge to as high as $150,000 in December, a more than 53% gain from its current value. “It’s almost scary that it is happening again. It seems programmed: three years of boring bear markets and then one year of FOMO (fear of missing out) and face-melting bull action. And it’s like that in all the past cycles. So if history is any guide, we’re…
Crypto investor Dan Tapiero says that he sees massive incoming growth for one specific sector of the digital assets space. In a new interview with Real Vision’s Raoul Pal, Tapiero says that he thinks US-based decentralized finance (DeFi) could explode in size after previously being pushed outside the country due to hostile regulators. Tapiero, the founder of multiple venture capital firms in the space, says that institutions are on the edge of discovering just how small the DeFi world is compared to the rest of the financial markets. “So if I’m looking out over the next two years, the thing…
The firm behind USDT says that the growth of crypto’s largest stablecoin by market cap has been fueled by sharks and minnows rather than whales. In a newly released Tether Insights publication, USDT-issuer Tether highlights the “extraordinary” growth of USDT in crypto wallets. “The growth of USDT wallets has been extraordinary, increasing 71% in the past year and 129% the year before, driven primarily by wallets holding less than $1,000. This surge accelerated after the collapse of FTX when users chose to self-custody their USDT rather than keep it on centralized platforms. USDT’s momentum continued even after competitors like USDC…
Fundstrat chief investment officer Tom Lee says Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent strength is foreshadowing future rallies in another asset. In a new interview on CNBC, Lee says that BTC’s strong rallies over the last quarter are a sign that investors have a high-risk appetite and that future rallies in the S&P 500 are to be expected. “It’s really telling us investors are pro-risk. I do think it also just signals how much capital has been idle for the last couple of years, either parked in money market cash or waiting to see if the economy survives. So I think Bitcoin rising…
