Every four years, Bitcoin’s block reward gets cut in half. History shows the real price action tends to unfold 6–18 months after the event, not immediately.
Three things I’m watching:
1. Miner economics — Lower rewards squeeze less efficient miners. Watch hash rate for signs of capitulation or consolidation.
2. Supply shock — Fewer new coins entering circulation against steady or rising demand has historically been a tailwind. ETFs add a new dimension this cycle.
3. Macro backdrop — Interest rates and liquidity matter more than ever. Bitcoin doesn’t trade in a vacuum.
My take: patience beats hype. The investors who do best aren’t the ones chasing green candles — they’re the ones with a plan before volatility hits.
What’s your strategy for this cycle? 👇

Strategy's $1.59 billion discretionary pool can fund Bitcoin, buybacks, debt or reserve growth, leaving MSTR holders financing the choice.
trategy, the Bitcoin treasury company formerly known as MicroStrategy, raised $2.0065 billion by selling common shares from Aug. 17 through Aug. 23 and bought no Bitcoin. The transaction left its $1.59 billion USD Cash balance at the center of a wider capital-allocation contest.
The company sold 18,261,118 shares of MSTR, its common stock, then used $136.4 million to repurchase 1,431,212 shares of STRC, a variable-rate preferred stock. It transferred another $300 million to its separately designated USD Reserve. The remainder, $1.5701 billion, went into USD Cash, according to Strategy's Aug. 24 filing.
Strategy reported ending balances of $5.10 billion in the reserve and $1.59 billion in USD Cash. Those balances included expected proceeds from ATM shares that had not yet settled. The company held 840,447 BTC after making no Bitcoin purchase or sale during the week, with an aggregate cost of $63.36 billion and an average cost of $75,385 per coin.
The two dollar accounts serve different purposes. The USD Reserve remains designated for preferred dividends and interest on outstanding debt. USD Cash is flexible: Strategy may use it to acquire Bitcoin, cover those obligations, repurchase MSTR or preferred stock, repay, repurchase or redeem convertible notes, increase the reserve, or pursue similar Bitcoin Treasury Company purposes.
The flexibility came with a measurable common-share cost. Strategy's share dashboard reported 415.929 million basic shares outstanding on Aug. 23. Subtracting the 18.261 million shares issued during the week produces an implied pre-week basic count of 397.668 million, meaning the issuance increased that count by about 4.59%. The calculation uses reported and rounded share totals and is not a GAAP diluted-earnings measure. The filed sale totals also imply average net proceeds of about $109.88 per share.
MSTR holders are financing several potential uses at once. Strategy retained $516.6 million of preferred-security repurchase authorization and $1 billion of MSTR repurchase authorization after the latest transactions. Neither authorization commits USD Cash, but both compete with Bitcoin and debt actions as possible uses.
STRC offers one visible test. Its Aug. 25 close of $97.15 and after-hours quote of $97.10 placed it about 2.9% below its $100 stated amount. In recent remarks reported by CryptoSlate, management used STRC prices of $95 or $90 as examples of levels that could warrant support and said it would consider MSTR repurchases at a sufficiently deep discount to net asset value. Those were guideposts, not binding rules.
The next deployment will show which use management prioritizes: Bitcoin, discounted preferred or common shares, convertible debt, or additional protection for dollar obligations. Until then, the $1.59 billion is optionality rather than a Bitcoin order waiting to be filled.

CrowdStrike shares slumped 11% in premarket trading on Thursday despite the cybersecurity company delivering better-than-expected quarterly results, as investors appeared unimpressed by annual recurring revenue growth and likely opted to lock in gains following a blistering rally.
The stock had been one of the strongest performers in the software sector, rising about 60% in May alone and roughly 65% so far this year, fueled by optimism that artificial intelligence would drive a new wave of cybersecurity spending.
The stock ran hard into the print on AI-security enthusiasm, and when a name is priced to perfection like this, even a strong quarter can get sold on the news," Mark Malek, CIO at Siebert Financial, wrote on Wednesday ahead of the earnings release.
Jefferies lowered its price target slightly to $760 from $775 but maintained a Buy rating, while Barclays raised its target to $675 from $650 and reiterated its Overweight recommendation.
Barclays analyst Saket Kalia noted that net new ARR reached $256 million but missed the firm's more optimistic upside scenario because deals tied to CrowdStrike's Mythos launch in April are expected to take longer to close.TD Cowen also remained bullish, raising its target price to $700 from $625 and reiterating a Buy rating.
The firm said investors were looking for a larger upside surprise after the stock's rapid appreciation and added that the post-earnings decline should prove temporary.
CrowdStrike currently trades at 137.81 times estimated earnings for the next 12 months, according to LSEG data, compared with 68.91 times for Palo Alto Networks and 31.03 times for Okta.
Swissquote analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya said the stock's decline despite an earnings beat suggests investors are becoming increasingly willing to take profits after strong gains.
The move is "a sign that profit-taking is becoming increasingly attractive when valuations look stretched," Ozkardeskaya writes.
She added that the reaction could be an early indication that parts of the technology sector may be vulnerable to a broader summer correction, particularly among stocks that have rallied sharply on AI enthusiasm.

Solana is showing strength against both the U.S. dollar and Bitcoin as two bullish setups develop across different timeframes. Holding $74–$76 could support a move toward $94, while a long-term $SOL/$BTC breakout would strengthen the outperformance case.
Solana is testing a long-term support zone against Bitcoin that previously acted as resistance during the 2021 cycle. Analyst CryptoCurb believes the $SOL/$BTC pair has formed a bottom and could begin a period of relative outperformance.
The pair must first hold support around 0.0010–0.0012 $BTC and break its multiyear descending trendline. Reclaiming 0.0015 $BTC, followed by 0.0020 $BTC, would provide stronger confirmation that momentum is shifting toward Solana.
However, the chart’s projected rise remains speculative and does not confirm that $SOL will outperform Bitcoin. A monthly close below the support zone would invalidate the bottoming setup and signal continued relative weakness.
Solana has broken above a four-hour bull flag and is now retesting the former resistance line as support. Analyst BATMAN noted that $SOL also remains above its 200-period exponential moving average, keeping the short-term structure bullish.
The main support area sits around $74–$76, including the 200 EMA and the previous breakout zone. Holding this region could support another move toward $82–$84, followed by the projected target near $94.
However, the breakout needs renewed buying momentum to continue. A confirmed move below the 200 EMA and $74 support would invalidate the setup and expose lower levels around $72 and $68.
