🔥 Why Strategy Is Selling Bitcoin and How Much It Has Sold So Far.
The program allows the company to sell BTC to fund dividends, replenish its cash reserve, and repurchase securities. Here's why Strategy is selling Bitcoin and how much it has sold so far. Since 2020, publicly traded technology company Strategy has spent billions buying Bitcoin. After years of its leadership saying it would never sell, the worlds largest corporate holder of Bitcoin is now selling some of its stockpile. Strategys aggressive Bitcoin accumulation has become a model for other companies looking to add the cryptocurrency to their balance sheets.
However, Strategy began shifting away from its strict buy-and-hold approach as market conditions worsened in 2026. Last week, Strategy sold 1,690 BTC for $108.6 million, according to its latest disclosure, continuing a series of sales that began earlier this year. In May, CEO Phong Le said Strategy could sell Bitcoin when doing so would benefit shareholders. At the point where selling Bitcoin versus selling equity to pay a dividend is better for our bitcoin-per-share, we will do it, Le told CNBC. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said Strategy could sell Bitcoin to fund dividends, while stressing that its goal was to never be a net seller of Bitcoin, rather than never sell at all.

🔥 Luke Dashjr Removed as BIP Editor After BIP-110 Bitcoin Fork Stalls.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Luke Dashjr has been removed as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor and no longer holds editor or admin access to the BIPs repository. Fellow editor Mark Murch Erhardt filed the motion on August 9, citing a conflict of interest over BIP-110, minimal contribution to the role, and a breakdown in coordination between editors. Dashjr has continued to dispute the outcome and said on Monday he was taking a sabbatical from mining pool Ocean.
Luke Dashjr has lost his role as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor, days after the soft fork he championed split off a chain that mined two blocks and stopped. Fellow editor Mark Erhardt, who goes by Murch, put the motion to the Bitcoin Development Mailing List on August 9 and opened a pull request the same day as what he called a sample implementation of it. Erhardt gave four grounds, arguing first that Dashjr had exercised editorial authority inconsistently with the established editorial process unfairly favoring the proposal he was involved in, pointing to an attempt to assign BIP-110 a number publicly on X before it had been discussed on the mailing list, and to a merge completed within minutes of the pull request opening.

The BTC was sold at an average of $64,262, about $11,100 below its $75,385 cost basis, so once again, Michael Saylors firm is selling Bitcoin at a loss.
It hasnt bought any since June, and its holdings now sit 6,916 coins below the June peak. The funds from the BTC sales were all used for buybacks of its preferred stock STRC, which rebounded to $95. Separately, Strategy sold $653.1 million of MSTR common stock, more than double the prior week. It now holds $4.65 billion in cash reserves, up from $4 billion. That reserve covers what the company calls 2.7 years of USD Duration, meaning it has roughly two and a half years of runway to meet its $1.76 billion in annual preferred dividends and debt interest without selling another coin or issuing another share. We intend to make $STRC the iPhone of Digital Assets.

🔥 North Korea Now Leans on Crime Networks to Launder Stolen Crypto: RUSI.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief North Korea stole at least $2.8 billion in crypto between January 2024 and September 2025 and increasingly launders it through established criminal networks, a paper from British think tank RUSI says. Third parties sometimes buy the stolen coins outright at a discount, or the funds turn up mixed with proceeds from investment scams. Cashing out relies on money mules recruited in the Philippines, Indonesia and China, whose credentials sell cheaply enough to buy at scale.
North Korea is increasingly pushing stolen cryptocurrency through the same money-laundering networks used by scam syndicates and organised crime, blurring the trail investigators follow, according to a research paper published this month by the Royal United Services Institute, a British defence and security think tank. The regime stole at least $2.8 billion in virtual assets between January 2024 and September 2025, funds the paper says are assumed to support its weapons programme. Authors Allison Owen and Nomi Tamb focus on the point where that money turns into cash, rather than the well-documented journey through decentralised services.

🔥 UK Lawmakers Write to Bank CEOs Over Crypto Account Refusals.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief The Crypto and Digital Assets APPG has written to the chief executives of all major UK banks asking them to set out their approach to crypto firms. The letter poses six questions, including whether banks expect to change tack once the FCA regime takes effect. It follows a parliamentary inquiry launched on July 21, with written submissions open until August 31.
The co-chairs of Parliament's Crypto and Digital Assets All-Party Parliamentary Group have written to the chief executives of every major UK bank, asking them to explain how they treat crypto and digital asset firms. The letter, sent Tuesday by Labour MP Gurinder Singh Josan and Lord Vaizey of Didcot, a former digital economy minister, says the group has heard repeated instances where crypto and digital asset firms have struggled to open accounts with UK banks, alongside reports that several banks have restricted crypto-related payments. Access to banking services could be one of the single biggest barriers to growth for UK crypto and digital asset businesses, and could potentially undermine the success of the UK's forthcoming crypto regime, the co-chairs wrote, adding that limited access could sway the decisions of firms weighing whether to invest in the country.

🔥 Vitalik Buterin Says Ethereum Is Betting Its Future on Quantum Security and AI.
Image: Siam Blockchain/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum has elevated quantum security and privacy since its 2023 roadmap. Ethereum researchers are increasingly relying on STARKs and AI-assisted formal verification. The roadmap also includes native rollups and explores a future beyond the EVM. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says quantum resistance, privacy, and AI-assisted security have become greater priorities for Ethereum since he published his 2023 roadmap.
In a post on X on Monday, Buterin said he updated his 2023 roadmap to compare its original goals with Ethereums current Strawmapa working outline of the networks long-term technical priorities. What's most striking, however, is that some completely new things are in the strawmap that are not in this diagram, because they were not in the 2023 roadmap at all, Buterin wrote. These reflect changing priorities. Among those priorities are stronger privacy and scaling designed for a post-quantum world, alongside efforts to push the lean-ification of the spec, or simplify Ethereums technical specifications. A common theme in scaling, found in both state types and zkzk frames (both new ideas), is that instead of trying to maximally scale all Ethereum activity, Buterin wrote.

🔥 Bitcoin ATMs Pulled in Australia as Regulators Signal Wider Crackdown.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief AUSTRAC suspended Cryptolink's VASP registration for three months from August 9, shutting its 96 crypto ATMs. The trigger was missed basic reporting obligations, especially threshold transaction reports, plus ignored information requests. It follows an October 2025 enforceable undertaking and a $56,340 fine the company already paid. Australia's financial-crime regulator AUSTRAC has pulled the plug on the country's largest Bitcoin and crypto ATM network. The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre said on Monday it suspended Cryptolink Pty Ltd's registration as a Virtual Asset Service Provider, or VASP, for three months, effective August 9, after the company failed to keep up with its anti-money-laundering paperwork.
A VASP is any business that moves digital assets for customers, and under Australia's anti-money laundering rules it must flag certain activity to the government. One key duty is filing threshold transaction reports for cash moves above a set limit. AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas said Cryptolink met the conditions stipulated in its enforceable undertaking, [but] subsequently failed to meet basic reporting obligations, particularly for threshold transaction reports. The company also didn't answer AUSTRAC's request for information. Thomas said AUSTRAC deemed it too high risk to continue operating at present.

🔥 Another Dormant Bitcoin Wallet Holding Millions Wakes Up After 12 Years.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief The coins were first received on January 31, 2014, and moved in block 961845 at 07:03 UTC on August 10, 2026. Galaxy Research tracked the move; the position carries a potential realized gain of roughly $1.73 million, up 7,975% on an ~$803 average cost. It's the second old-coin awakening flagged this month, after a 2011 wallet moved 49.97 BTC on August 6. Another long-time dormant Bitcoin address just woke upthis one after 12 and a half years of inactivity.
The Bitcoin wallet beginning in 14vMEC first took in BTC on January 31, 2014, when BTC traded well under $1,000. It held for 12.5 years before a single transaction swept the balance to a fresh address in block 961845 at 07:03 UTC on August 10. The move could potentially realize a gain of about $1.73 million, a 7,975% return on an average basis near $803 per coin. That return profile is specific to Bitcoin's early years, when the asset was a thinly traded experiment rather than a $1.3 trillion market.

🔥 Brazil's $319B Crypto Market Faces October Licensing Deadline: CertiK.
Virtual asset firms must file for Central Bank authorization by October 30, 2026, with an independent audit attached. Hackers and thieves took $1.32 billion from crypto in the first half of 2026 alone. Brazil is one of the world's largest crypto markets, and its regulator has just set a hard date for pulling it under formal supervision. A new report from blockchain security firm CertiK lays out what the rules require and why they matter for the companiesand the usersinside that market.
Brazil ranks fifth globally for real crypto adoption, according to Chainalysis data cited in the report, and received $318.8 billion in on-chain value over the twelve months to June 2025. Nearly a third of all Latin American activity flowed through Brazilian wallets and platformsroughly double the next two markets, Argentina and Mexico, combined. Brazil's crypto market is entering a new era. With the October 30, 2026 authorization deadline approaching, VASPs face a fundamental shift: compliance is no longer about promisesit's about proving security, governance, and operational readiness.

Markets read it as a reason for the Federal Reserve to keep its hands off rates, and Treasury yields fell. That should have been fuel for a risk-on bounce. Instead, Bitcoin's latest daily candle shows it tapping the average price of the last 50 days and rolling straight back over below that territory. The performance of the top 10 crypto assets by market cap tells the same story in relative terms. Bitcoin was one of the steadier large caps on the week at +1.17% over seven days, behind only BNB and Solanayet it still can't close back above its own moving-average ceiling.

🔥 Web3 Is Building Financial Freedom Only for People Who Can Afford Mistakes.
Every user has an error budget : a $25 fee is an annoyance on a $10,000 transfer and a quarter of a $100 one. Sub-Saharan Africa recorded $205.7 billion in on-chain value in the year to June 2025, according to Chainalysis, with $92.1 billion of it in Nigeria. Web3 presents itself as a more inclusive financial system, open to anyone with a smartphone and internet access. And that's significant progress for sure, but just because we have access doesn't imply it's truly safe or practical to utilize. A user can still lose funds by selecting the wrong network, overpaying on fees or delivering assets to an unsupported destination.
When the same errors are repeated regularly, however, they're also a sign of a product problem, even if the industry calls this client error. Permissionless access answers a relatively narrow questioncan a person enter the system? Financial inclusion requires us to ask several more difficult ones. Can that person understand what they are doing, recognize a dangerous action before confirming it and use the product without first losing enough money to learn how it works? And that's a big distinction, because crypto's not just for traders messing around with money they can afford to lose anymore.

The price of XRP is still stuck in a formation traders call a death cross, a classic bearish indicator. Besides the macro headwinds, for the Ripple-linked token, it may just come down to a lack of Clarity. It was a quiet, red-tinged day across crypto, and XRP spent it near the bottom of the pile. While the market as a whole has been in a flat, choppy state for the last several weeks, its XRPthe cryptocurrency created by the founders of payments company Ripplethat continues to underperform: rising less when others are gaining, and falling harder when others drop.
The reason could be the market current lack of clarityor, rather, the delay of the long-awaited Digital Assets Market Clarity Act. The Clarity Act, which if passed would create the first formal legal framework for crypto assets in the United States, matters more for XRP than it does more established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The legislation would formally classify XRP as a digital commodity, stripping the regulatory ambiguity that has weighed on institutional demand for years. Traders price that in faster than lawmakers move. The Senate was unable to vote on the bill before the August recess, dashing what little hope remained that the legislation would be passed this year.

Bitcoin ETFs See Biggest Inflows Since May Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in roughly $854 million last week, their strongest week since the spring and their first genuinely large inflow since an eight-week outflow streak bled through June and early July.
The ETH ETFs saw an even more impressive $244M in net inflows last week. On a market cap-adjusted basis, thats equivalent to ~$1.25B in BTC inflows. From a macro standpoint, the earnings from last week were largely positive. And the July jobs report missed badly, with the economy shedding 23,000 jobs against expectations of 80,000 gained, its first outright decline in months, even as unemployment ticked down to 4.1%.

🔥 Bitcoin ETFs Draw $854M Over Five Days as Rate-Hike Bets Fade.
Image: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded five straight sessions of net inflows last week, totaling $853.5 million, according to SoSoValue. Around $690 million of that went into BlackRock's IBIT, about 80% of the week's total. Bitcoin traded at around $65,000 Monday morning, some 48% below its October 2025 record, according to CoinGecko. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $853.5 million across five consecutive sessions last week, SoSoValue data shows, after a $61.5 million net outflow the week before, lifting cumulative net inflows since launch to $52.18 billion.
Around $690 million came through BlackRock's IBIT, about 80% of the week's total, according to Stephen Wundke, strategy and revenue director at Algoz Technologies. On Friday alone, IBIT drew $86.7 million and Fidelity's FBTC $41 million, while Invesco's BTCO shed $19.4 million and VanEck's HODL lost $10.6 million. Momentum eased into the weekend, with daily inflows slipping from $128.7 million on Thursday to $98.9 million on Friday. The funds closed the week holding $79.5 billion, about 6.1% of Bitcoin's market capitalization. It shows that after the AI craze briefly entered a pullback period, institutional funds have started buying Bitcoin again, Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey, told Decrypt, adding that the flows likely combine portfolio rebalancing with a degree of basis trading.

🔥 Standard Chartered Sees $4T Tokenization Driving Chainlink to $200 by 2030.
Image: Decrypt/ShutterstockCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Chainlink on Monday with a price target of $200 by end-2030, up from around $8 today. The bank expects tokenized assets on-chain to reach $4 trillion by end-2028 and assets deployed in DeFi to grow 37-fold to $2.7 trillion by 2030. LINK was trading at around $8.25 Monday, down 0.8% on the day, according to CoinGecko. Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Chainlink with a price target of $200 by the end of 2030, implying a roughly 25-fold gain from around $8 today and outperformance of both Bitcoin and Ethereum over the period. Geoff Kendrick, the bank's global head of digital assets research, laid out staged targets in a note published Monday: $13 by the end of this year, then $41, $82 and $133 before reaching $200.
The same note pencils in Bitcoin at $500,000 and Ethereum at $40,000 by end-2030. Kendrick expects the value of tokenized assets on-chain to climb roughly 12-fold to $4 trillion by end-2028 from about $340 billion now, and assets deployed in DeFi to grow 37-fold to $2.7 trillion by 2030. Because Chainlink charges for delivering data and moving assets between chains, the bank estimates its fees should rise about 25 times over that period, and assumes the token price follows fees. Chainlink's incumbency is the other half of the argument. The note puts its total value secured above $110 billion, covering roughly 70% of oracle-dependent value in DeFi globally and more than 80% on Ethereum.

🔥 Bitcoin 'Anti-Spam' Fork Sputters to a Halt After Mining Just Two Blocks.

The fork inherited Bitcoin's difficulty setting with barely any hashpowerabout 2.53% of recent blocks signaled support, far below the 55% activation threshold, BIP-110 sought to temporarily block non-financial data like Ordinals inscriptions from transactions, a move critics including Michael Saylor call a dangerous precedent. The long-simmering fight over a controversial Bitcoin network proposal finally produced a chain split over the weekend, but the breakaway Bitcoin fork sputtered almost immediately, grinding out just two blocks in roughly eight hours before stalling out.
The fork came as a result of a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal known as BIP-110, whose supporters claimed would protect the network from unwanted spam and the legal liability that comes from hosting non-financial data on the network. Its detractors, the majority of the Bitcoin community, viewed it as an attempt at censorship. The fork triggered Saturday at block 961,632, when Bitcoin nodes running BIP-110 software began rejecting any block that failed to signal support for the proposal.

Robinhood Chain wants to be a financial hub for the suits just as much as for the degens.

In an exclusive interview with FOMO Hour on Friday, Kerbrat, who leads Robinhoods crypto and international businesses, said the company chose an Ethereum layer-2 over a layer-1 blockchain so it could rely on existing security and decentralization while focusing its resources on products.

🔥 Treasury Sanctions Crypto Exchanges It Says Laundered Millions for Iran.

Treasury says Iran-linked wallets sent over $1 million to Shelbit, which sent more than $2 million back. The State Department is offering up to $15 million for tips disrupting the Iranian military's financial machinery. Treasury just sanctioned two crypto exchanges it says laundered millions for Iran's Revolutionary Guardnaming one operator who ran the scheme from Georgia and the UAE, and a second platform based in Iran.
OFAC announced the action on August 7 under its Economic Fury campaign. The Iranian regime's reliance on digital assets and shadow banking networks is further evidence that Economic Fury is working, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. A separate, simultaneous action went after Iran's traditional shadow-banking network. The centerpiece is Siavash Kayvanpour. He's Iran-born, holds Dominica and Afghanistan citizenship, and ran a multi-country network from the UAE and Georgia.

Source: Shutterstock/DecryptCreate an account to save your articles.Add on GoogleAdd Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.In brief XRP fell 2.05% in 24 hours to $1.02, the lone red coin among the top 10; every other major is green. The Senate left Washington without voting on the Clarity Act, delaying the market-structure bill until at least September. XRP trades within a confirmed death cross, but prediction market traders remain optimistic for now. The Senate left town without taking up the Clarity Act, pushing the market-structure vote to at least September. Every major coin shrugged it offexcept XRP.
While Bitcoin stayed flat, dealing with its own headwinds, and Dogecoin gained 1.38% over the day to be the best performer in the top 10 crypto assets by market cap, XRP dropped 2.05%, the only major token to close red. On a week that saw it fall 3%, it's the weakest of the majors by a wide margin. The delay isn't just procedural for XRP. The token's entire 20252026 rally thesis rested on the U.S. The Clarity Act would sort crypto into securities and commodities and, in drafts Decrypt previously reported, would reclassify XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin as non-securities. That means these coins would fall under the regulatory purview of the CFTC, widely viewed as the more preferable option by crypto industry observers, rather than the historically tougher SEC.
