Summary · why it matters

Bitcoin has recovered to around $86,000 and climbed above its 365-day and 200-day moving averages, adding to signals that it has entered a new bullish phase. CryptoQuant's Bitcoin Bull Score Index rose above the bullish threshold of 60 in mid-August and has since climbed to 80, with improvements in on-chain conditions preceding the price rally. The market absorbed roughly 539,000 BTC sold by long-term holders near the $77,100 to $80,200 range, and the next supply cluster is concentrated around $88,000 to $91,000. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew about $1.59 billion in net inflows over just three trading days from September 17 to 21, marking a return of institutional money. On the other hand, futures open interest and funding rates remain elevated, and the Fear & Greed Index has risen to 78, in Extreme Greed territory, suggesting short-term overheating. The Federal Reserve raised its policy rate by 25 basis points on September 16 to 3.75 to 4.00 percent, while the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield sits at about 4.99 percent and the 10-year real yield at about 2.64 percent. With the U.S. midterm elections approaching in November, political uncertainty is adding to the mix, and some analysts point to the possibility of a sharp correction of roughly 5 to 15 percent as leverage is unwound.

Trump discloses purchases of Strategy shares and other assets worth up to $100,000

U.S. President Donald Trump bought Strategy shares worth between $51,000 and $100,000 in July, according to a periodic transaction report released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on September 22. The report showed two purchases: one of $1,001 to $15,000 on July 24 and one of $51,000 to $100,000 on July 27, with the July 27 purchase falling in the same dollar range as his largest previous purchase, recorded on February 12. There was also a sale of $1,001 to $15,000 on July 8. The report listed 1,156 transactions for July, with crypto-related trades making up only a small fraction of the total, while the largest transactions were sales of Microsoft and Amazon shares on July 20, each worth between $5 million and $25 million. The White House says the assets are managed independently by third-party financial institutions and that the president and his family are not involved in the trades. The disclosure came just after the Senate voted on September 15 against proceeding with the crypto market structure bill known as the Clarity Act, a vote attributed mainly to conflict over ethics provisions that would restrict the president's family from profiting from crypto, and it could reignite the debate.

Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Buys With 950 BTC Purchase and US$174 Million STRC Buyback

Strategy Inc., formerly MicroStrategy, has resumed Bitcoin purchases, adding 950 BTC worth about US$75.7 million while also repurchasing US$174 million of its STRC preferred stock. The twin move rebuilds the company's Bitcoin treasury and tightens its capital structure, reinforcing its role as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with roughly 846,000 coins. The renewed buybacks may ease some pressure on Strategy's preferred securities after this summer's STRC volatility, but they also underscore how dependent the business is on maintaining large cash reserves to service billions of dollars of preferred dividends and debt. Seven fair value views from the Simply Wall St Community span roughly US$164 to US$705 per share, underlining sharply different expectations as the renewed Bitcoin buying and STRC buybacks tighten the focus on leverage and liquidity.

Canaan Liquidates Entire 3,952 ETH Position and 54 BTC, Raising $13.9 Million for Buybacks

Canaan Inc. liquidated its entire 3,952 ETH position at close to $2,400 per Ethereum and sold 54 bitcoins at roughly $79,000 per BTC in late August, generating approximately $13.9 million in combined cash proceeds. The company used about $5.4 million of those proceeds to repurchase 13.6 million American Depositary Shares, bringing total buybacks since the start of the year to 16.4 million ADSs. Canaan mined 44 BTC during August and maintained a non-JV installed hashrate of 10.05 EH/s, while its joint venture hashrate reached 4.92 EH/s by month-end. Despite the sales, Canaan still held a treasury of 1,868 BTC at the end of August. The treasury moves come as Canaan's core mining-equipment business remains weak, with second-quarter product revenue falling to $13.6 million from $71.9 million a year earlier and mining revenue declining to $17.7 million from $28.1 million.
