A victim lost $282M+ in $BTC and $LTC on Jan 10 due to a hardware wallet social engineering scam, with funds swapped to Monero via instant exchanges and bridged through Thorchain to Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin, per @ZachXBT
Under Michael Saylor, Strategy raised ~$25B in 2025 — up from $22.6B in 2024. Common equity stayed steady at $16.3B, preferred equity grew to $7B, and $2B in convertible debt was added. Cleverly branded preferreds (STRF, STRC, STRE, STRK, STRD) tapped diverse investors, funneling proceeds into relentless $BTC buys.
Result: the world's largest corporate Bitcoin treasury. A bold mix of Wall Street engineering and Bitcoin maximalism — high-conviction or high-risk? Time will tell.
U.S. spot #Bitcoin ETFs recorded $754Million in net inflows on Jan. 13. Led by Fidelity’s FBTC with $351M, it marks one of the strongest single-day demand signals for institutional BTC exposure this year.
Ethereum just added a record 393,000+ new wallets in a single day, lifting average daily wallet creation to the highest level on record over the past week.
