Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of recovery on Monday, October 27, as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index climbed to 51 and turned neutral for the first time since President Trump initiated new tariff wars with China a couple of weeks ago. As of the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $115,420, having advanced 2.60% in the past 24 hours, almost mirroring the 2.50% gain in the broader crypto market.  BTC 24-hour price.

The $114,000 range also served as support, according to market analyst Ted Pillows, who now sees $118,000 as the next important target to keep an eye on. Should “digital gold” surge past that mark, Pillows predicts, we might see a new Bitcoin all-time high (ATH) as soon as next week. “Now, Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $118,...

BlackRock’s IBIT is now the asset manager’s most profitable ETF (exchange-traded fund) by a wide margin as the fund nears $100 billion in net assets. Over the past year, IBIT has generated almost $245 million in fees. This performance beats the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA)  by $25 million in annual revenue, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.  Around the middle of July, IBIT was still ranked below IWF and EF in terms of revenue, previous X posts from Balchunas show.

BlackRock’s Ethereum (ETH) appetite appears far from satisfied. According to new on-chain intelligence data from Arkham, the world’s largest asset manager has bought $547 million worth of Ethereum in a single day, $50 million more than its Bitcoin (BTC) inflow over the same period.  BLACKROCK IS STILL BUYING MORE ETH THAN BTC BlackRock’s purchase of over half a billion dollars of ETH ($547M) exceeded its Bitcoin inflow ($497M) by $50 Million USD.

When adjusted for market capitalization, BlackRock’s Ethereum purchases are over 5 times larger than its Bitcoin buys, a staggering imbalance that hints at deeper institutional conviction in ETH...

For the first time ever, MicroStrategy admitted that over the course of a single week, it diluted all four classes of the company’s public securities . The liquidations are classed as accretive dilution because the sales allow the company to buy slightly more bitcoin (BTC) than the proceeds of its sales. This is only possible, of course, because investors bid up its shares to a premium to its BTC holdings, and founder Michael Saylor obviously hopes to continue attracting bids that maintain it. The company made $472 million in net proceeds by dumping shares of MSTR, STRK, STRF, and STRD at-the-market (ATM). By immediately diluting prior shareholders in each category, the company then bought the same amount of BTC. This confusing exercise — diluting shareholders to buy BTC for shareholders — has become commonplace at MicroStrategy.  By focusing on the 21 million supply cap of BTC and its potential for parabolic price appreciation, the company slowly adds r...

Tokyo-listed firm Metaplanet has raised 74.9 billion JPY, which is around $515 million, to buy more Bitcoin after it recently announced plans to acquire 1% of BTC’s 21 million supply. In a filing today, the company’s primary backer, EVO Fund, exercised 540,000 stock-acquisition rights, and converted them into 54 million new shares. This issuance represents 29% of the total rights issued in Metaplanet’s 20th warrant series, with about 1.31 million rights equal to 131 million shares still remaining.

That move is being dubbed the “555 Million Plan,” and is part of Metaplanet’s goal to amass 30,000 BTC by t...
