A Bitcoin wallet dormant since 2011 transferred 35.55 BTC after being named in a New York lawsuit seeking ownership of allegedly abandoned wallets. Plaintiffs claim legal title to roughly 3.8 million BTC across 39,069 addresses using New York’s lost-property laws.

Michael Saylor has reignited speculation about another Bitcoin purchase after sharing a chart that investors often associate with upcoming Strategy acquisition announcements. The renewed attention comes shortly after Strategy disclosed its first Bitcoin sale since 2022 and temporarily paused further accumulation while repurchasing debt.

A New York judge has paused a lawsuit seeking ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets holding an estimated 3.8 million BTC.

Cohen argues the law was designed for tangible […]

Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick argued that Strategy’s sale of 32 Bitcoin, disclosed June 1, may mark the start of a stretch of ETH outperforming BTC. Kendrick expects the ETH-BTC ratio to rise to 0.04 by the end of 2026 from about 0.028, implying Ethereum could outperform Bitcoin by more than 40% whether prices rise […]
