Strategy 将股票发行规模扩大至 7.11 亿美元，计划购买更多比特币

Bitcoin surged past the $97,000 mark on Wednesday, climbing to a high of $97,546 before pulling back slightly, as traders continue to test key resistance levels.  The move came after days of tight price action between $93,000 and $96,000, with total market capitalization reaching $1.90 trillion and 24-hour trading volume hitting $29.88 billion, according to recent crypto.news data.  The rally builds on momentum that began in mid-April, when Bitcoin (BTC) decisively broke out of a long-standing consolidation phase near $74,400. Technical indicators suggest continued upward pressure, with major support now established in the $88,000–$90,000 zone.  A dip toward $92,000 could offer a new entry point for long positions if supported by renewed volume, while a fall below $88,000 may signal broader correction risks.

The rally gained momentum after the cryptocurrency avoided a death cross pattern in April, with bullish technical signals such as a double-bottom and bullish flag breakout suggesting further upside.  Institutional interest also grew, with spot Bitcoin ETFs recording $2.9 billion in inflows last month and companies like Tether, SoftBank, and Trump Media adding Bitcoin to their treasuries.  At the same time, disappointing U.S. economic data, including weak job growth and declining consumer confidence, fueled expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. These developments, along with the possibility of a trade policy pivot from Donald Trump, helped drive renewed optimism in Bitcoin’s path forward.

Semler Scientific posted a 22.2% year-to-date Bitcoin yield in the first quarter of this year, outperforming major corporate BTC holders like Strategy and Riot Platforms. In its Q1 2025 earnings report released May 13, Semler Scientific, a publicly traded medical device firm that holds BTC on its balance sheet, reported a 22.2% Bitcoin (BTC) yield year-to-date, driven by realized and unrealized gains on its Bitcoin treasury strategy. In terms of dollar gains, Semler saw a $41.6 million BTC gain in Q1, which increased to $52 million by May 12. The company reported purchasing 894 BTC during Q1 at a total cost of $90.7 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 3,192 BTC as of March 31, with a fair value of $263.5 million. However, this value reflected a cumulative decrease of $16.9 million in fair value. Subsequently, through May 12, Semler acquired an additional 616 BTC for $59.6 million, increasing its total holdings to 3,808 BTC, which now holds a fair value of $387.9 million and a total cost basis of $340 million. Beyond Bitcoin, the company posted $8.8 million in Q1 revenue, down 44% year-over-year. Operating expenses surged to $39.9 million, including a $29.8 million contingent liability tied to a potential DOJ settlement. The result was a net loss of $64.7 million, or $6.74 per share, compared to net income of $6.1 million a year ago.

That puts it at 58% of its revised full-year BTC dollar gain target of $15 billion. Despite the strong crypto performance, fair value accounting rules drove a GAAP net loss of over $4.2 billion in Q1. Riot Platforms, which held 19,223 BTC as of March 31, reported a year-to-date BTC yield of 7.7%. Despite producing 1,530 BTC in the first quarter, Riot’s profitability was pressured by a sharp increase in average Bitcoin mining cost to $43,808 per BTC, driven by the April 2024 halving and increased global hash rate competition. MARA, the second largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has not disclosed an explicit Bitcoin yield percentage for the first quarter of this year, but its substantial increase in holdings—from 17,320 BTC in Q1 2024 to 47,531 BTC in Q1 2025, a 174% year-over-year jump—suggests aggressive accumulation and operational scale-up.

A public debate between cryptocurrency exchange OKX and TRON founder Justin Sun has surfaced over alleged communication issues regarding a freeze notice for stolen funds. OKX CEO Star Xu has challenged Sun’s claims that the exchange failed to respond to law enforcement requests. The controversy began after Sun publicly stated that a “relevant law enforcement agency” had sent a freeze notice regarding stolen funds to OKX’s official email address. However, the police had received no response. Sun claimed he had “no other means of contacting OKX’s compliance team.” You might also like:A look into XRP stability and cloud mining potential OKX CEO claps back at Justin Sun According to Star, the exchange’s LE cooperation team checked the email, including the spam box, and mentioned that they hadn’t received any requests related to this case. He explained via X: “Dear Mr H.E. Justin Sun, our LE cooperation team just checked the email including spam box, we haven’t received any request related with this case.

You can offer some preliminary evidence of the incident through the public reporting channels…we will do a temporary urgent freeze according to the evidence. Then you should work with LE agents to offer us legal documents to continue the freeze,” he added. The OKX CEO also resisted Sun’s public demands. He mentioned that OKX has a consumer protection policy according to law. He insists that they can’t freeze a customer’s funds according to Sun’s personal X post or oral communication. Sun deleted his original tweet, though other users had captured it in screenshots. The deleted post claimed that OKX was not responding to official freeze notices from law enforcement regarding stolen funds. Read more:NFT sales jump 22% to $107m, Pudgy Penguins recover
