In a recent post, the Chairman of Strategy highlighted **STRC (Stretch)**, a perpetual preferred share, as a **safe haven** amidst market turbulence. ## Saylor's Solution to Bitcoin Market Turmoil Saylor's key argument centers on **record-low volatility**. Over the past 30 days, STRC has shown just **2% volatility**, lower than any company in the **S&P 500**, as well as traditional assets like **gold**, **bonds**, and even **Bitcoin** itself. Since March 2026, the dividend yield on these shares has been increased to **11.5% annually**, making it an attractive income-generating instrument. STRC serves as the primary channel for raising capital, with proceeds used to **aggressively accumulate BTC** during pullbacks. Saylor's ambitious goal of holding **1 million BTC** on Strategy's balance sheet by the end of 2026 or within the next two years remains a focal point. While Bitcoin may appear overstretched, Strategy's **"digital credit"** in the form of STRC offers above-market yield with volatility comparable to a bank deposit. However, investors should remember the fundamental rule: **the higher the yield, the higher the risk**.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>michaelsaylor</category> <category>strc</category> <category>marketvolatility</category> <category>investment</category> <enclosure url="https://u.today/sites/default/files/styles/twitterwithoutlogo/public/2026-03/100600.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Trump's Net Worth Soars to $7.3 Billion Fueled by Crypto Gains and Meme Coin Ventures]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/trumps-net-worth-soars-to-73-billion-fueled-by-crypto-gains-and-meme-coin-ventures</link> <guid>trumps-net-worth-soars-to-73-billion-fueled-by-crypto-gains-and-meme-coin-ventures</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2026 15:01:08 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[President Trump's financial portfolio has seen a dramatic surge, with **Forbes** estimating his net worth at **$7.3 billion** as of September—a staggering **$3 billion increase** in just one year. This growth is largely attributed to **postelection crypto gains** and the resilience of his social media company's stock, despite underlying challenges. ### Crypto Holdings Drive Wealth Expansion Trump's cryptocurrency assets and cash are valued at approximately **$2.4 billion**, according to Forbes. This includes around **$709 million** in a **meme coin** launched around his second inauguration, along with hundreds of millions tied to the family's **World Liberty Financial (WLF)** venture and its **dollar-pegged stablecoin**. The Trump family reportedly receives **75% of the WLF tokens sold**, plus a share of stablecoin returns, as detailed by the Wall Street Journal. ### Other Key Assets and Ventures Beyond crypto, Trump's wealth is diversified across traditional and modern investments: - **Trump Media & Technology Group**, the parent company of Truth Social, accounts for **$2 billion**, even after its stock price has been more than halved. - **Golf clubs and resorts** are valued at about **$1.3 billion**. - **Real estate holdings** total **$1.2 billion**. - A revived **branding-and-licensing machine** is worth roughly **$500 million**, plus additional assets like planes, pensions, and some legal liabilities. ### Political and Public Reactions Trump's crypto ventures have sparked controversy, with Democrats like Connecticut Sen. **Chris Murphy** calling it "the biggest scandal in the history of the presidency." He alleges a "backdoor bribery scheme" where CEOs or foreign oligarchs could secretly send money through Trump's crypto coin in exchange for favors. In contrast, **Donald Trump Jr.** defends crypto as "common sense" and "good for America."

Max Kahn, CEO of Digital Wealth Partners, explained: "What these expiries actually do is create gravitational pull in the days leading up to them. Market makers hedging their books push price toward max pain, which is why bitcoin tends to go sideways before a major expiry." **The 'max pain' level—where the largest number of expiring options become worthless—is around $75,000.** Once the expiry clears, hedging pressure disappears, potentially leading to volatility spikes as positions unwind. Kahn noted that while the options wave accelerates existing trends, it doesn't fundamentally change the bigger picture: "The expiry accelerates whatever's already happening; it doesn't flip it." He emphasized that **ETF flows and broader liquidity are actually driving the trend**. ## Bitcoin Liquidations and MARA's Strategic Shift Coinglass data revealed **roughly $462 million in bullish bitcoin long positions were liquidated** over the past 24 hours, with about $51 million in short positions also liquidated. Meanwhile, **MARA Holdings announced it raised approximately $1.1 billion by selling 15,133 bitcoin** between March 4 and March 25. The company plans to use proceeds for repurchasing $1 billion in senior notes, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. CEO Fred Thiel stated the transaction "enhances financial flexibility" as MARA expands beyond pure-play bitcoin mining into **digital energy and AI/HPC infrastructure**. As of December 31, MARA held 53,822 bitcoin, including 15,315 bitcoin loaned or pledged as collateral. ## Cathie Wood's Cash Rotation Strategy **Cathie Wood and ARK Invest have been trimming stock holdings while making minimal purchases** over the past two days. The firm only purchased Tempus AI (TEM) stock during this period, adding 145,912 shares worth $6.74 million. ARK's notable sales included Archer Aviation (ACHR), Bullish (BLSH), and Recursion Pharmaceuticals (RXRX). **Wood also sold 495,000 shares of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), worth $11.25 million.** The fund has declined 24% since the beginning of the year. This strategic rotation into cash comes as bitcoin's price remains rangebound between $63,000 and $76,000 since early February, with Middle East upheaval adding to market uncertainty.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>options</category> <category>liquidation</category> <category>arkinvest</category> <category>market</category> <enclosure url="https://www.investors.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Stock-bitcoinunderwater-01-shutt.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $171 Million in Single Day: Is Institutional Demand Cooling Off?]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/bitcoin-etfs-bleed-171-million-in-single-day-is-institutional-demand-cooling-off</link> <guid>bitcoin-etfs-bleed-171-million-in-single-day-is-institutional-demand-cooling-off</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:01:11 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Institutional Demand for Bitcoin Shows Signs of Cooling Institutional demand for **bitcoin** appears to be cooling after a strong start to the month, raising questions about the cryptocurrency's resilience near the $70,000 mark. ### Largest Single-Day Outflow in Three Weeks On Thursday, investors withdrew a combined **$171.12 million** from the 11 U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking the **largest single-day outflow** in just over three weeks, according to data from SoSoValue. **BlackRock's IBIT** saw $41.92 million in outflows, while other major funds like **FBTC, GBTC, BITB, and ARKB** each recorded withdrawals in the $20 million to $30 million range. ### A Shift from Robust Inflows This recent pullback follows a period of **robust inflows**, with these funds attracting more than **$2 billion** between late February and mid-month. However, momentum has since slowed significantly: - Just **$95.8 million** in inflows last week - Net outflows of **$70.71 million** so far this week ### What This Means for Bitcoin ETFs The moderation in flows may point to a **pause in institutional accumulation**, with investors adopting a more measured approach to these ETFs. Launched in January 2024, these funds allow market participants to gain exposure to bitcoin without requiring direct ownership. ### Broader Implications for Bitcoin's Price The slowdown in demand raises important questions about how long **bitcoin can maintain resilience near $70,000** amid broader macroeconomic shocks. This development comes as the cryptocurrency market watches closely for signs of sustained institutional interest or potential profit-taking. While the ETFs have provided unprecedented access to bitcoin for traditional investors, this week's outflows suggest some **institutional caution** may be emerging after the strong early-month performance.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>etf</category> <category>outflows</category> <category>institutional</category> <category>markets</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.sanity.io/images/s3y3vcno/production/b0dce666c7f0cdbec909106973ab71d0b0cb6444-1280x720.jpg?auto=format&w=960&h=540&crop=focalpoint&fit=clip&q=75&fm=jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Ukraine's Oil Market Attack Sparks Bitcoin Price Fears: How Geopolitical Chaos Could Crush Crypto]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/ukraines-oil-market-attack-sparks-bitcoin-price-fears-how-geopolitical-chaos-could-crush-crypto</link> <guid>ukraines-oil-market-attack-sparks-bitcoin-price-fears-how-geopolitical-chaos-could-crush-crypto</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:01:10 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Ukraine's Disruption of Russian Oil Flows Adds Fresh Uncertainty Ukraine has complicated President Donald Trump's efforts to stabilize oil markets amid the Iran war, amplifying risks for financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. For nearly a month, markets have been gripped by a single concern: the Iran war. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz – a critical oil chokepoint – have driven prices sharply higher, stoking fears of sticky inflation, a risk-off shift, and renewed Fed rate hikes. To cool things down, the Trump administration quickly lifted sanctions on Russian crude for the short term, opening the tap to compensate for oil supply disruptions caused by the Iran war. It came across as a solid plan to stabilize energy markets until Ukraine blew it up. This week, Ukraine launched drone strikes on ports and refiners in Russia's Leningrad, leading to what one observer described as "the most serious threat" to the country's oil exports since Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The damage is significant, with roughly 40% of Russia's oil export capacity offline. Oilprice.com editor Michael Kern described it as "a logistics problem first – and a supply problem second," underscoring that moving oil to buyers is now as difficult as producing it. "In conjunction with the war in the Middle East and de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent oil/LNG production outages, the Russian disruption adds a fresh element to already sky-high oil prices," Kern noted. In other words, oil prices may remain elevated longer than initially expected. For risk assets, including bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, that's an issue because higher sticky energy prices could lead to sticky inflation, potentially putting pressure on global central banks to raise borrowing costs and drain liquidity. Traders are already prepping for a potential Fed rate hike in the short term. According to Bloomberg, flows in the options market tied to overnight interest rates indicate traders are wagering on a rate increase within two weeks. Taken together, these factors suggest bitcoin's recent resilience may face tests, with the $65,000–$75,000 range vulnerable to a downside break. At press time, bitcoin traded near $68,500, down nearly 2% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. WTI oil, which slipped nearly 10% to $83.95 per barrel on Monday, has since bounced back to $93.50. Brent crude is once again trading above the $100 mark.]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>geopolitics</category> <category>oil</category> <category>inflation</category> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>markets</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.sanity.io/images/s3y3vcno/production/ccb0a7f8972de23193d198e8aacaf34f5df00b00-1920x1440.jpg?auto=format&w=960&h=540&crop=focalpoint&fit=clip&q=75&fm=jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Nvidia's $1 Billion Crypto Mining Secret: Lawsuit Exposes Undisclosed Revenue from Bitcoin Miners]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/nvidias-1-billion-crypto-mining-secret-lawsuit-exposes-undisclosed-revenue-from-bitcoin-miners</link> <guid>nvidias-1-billion-crypto-mining-secret-lawsuit-exposes-undisclosed-revenue-from-bitcoin-miners</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 21:01:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< The plaintiffs alleged that in 2018, the company's earnings call and guidance cut on Aug. 16 and a revenue warning on Nov. 15 revealed the crypto mining exposure as shares dropped on both occasions. In May 2022, NVIDIA agreed to pay a **$5.5 million penalty** to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for inadequate disclosures concerning the impact of crypto mining on the company’s gaming business. Though the company had information that the growth in gaming sales was driven in significant part by crypto mining, it didn't disclose these significant earnings and cash flow fluctuations related to a "volatile" business, the SEC had remarked. On March 25, Judge Haywood Gilliam ruled in his order that investors can pursue their claims as a group and defined the class as investors who purchased the Nvidia stock between Aug. 10, 2017, and Nov. 15, 2018. The order underlined that the certification is only a procedural step and doesn't resolve the question of whether Nvidia’s statements were fraudulent or not. “Investors who purchased NVIDIA in the 2017-2018 timeframe have done incredibly well, as our corporate strategy unfolded as we consistently predicted," an NVIDIA spokesperson told TheStreet Roundtable. > **"We will address the complaint in court.”**]]></description> <author>contact@bitcointoday.app (BitcoinToday.app)</author> <category>nvidia</category> <category>cryptomining</category> <category>bitcoin</category> <category>lawsuit</category> <category>sec</category> <enclosure url="https://s.yimg.com/os/en/thestreet_881/ab1031596a57ae9c1a12e75d764395fd" length="0" type="image//os/en/thestreet_881/ab1031596a57ae9c1a12e75d764395fd"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Coinbase Stock Plummets 8%: Is This a Golden Buying Opportunity?]]></title> <link>https://www.bitcointoday.app/article/coinbase-stock-plummets-8-is-this-a-golden-buying-opportunity</link> <guid>coinbase-stock-plummets-8-is-this-a-golden-buying-opportunity</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 21:01:28 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this article are solely those of the featured analyst.
