The post Strategy keeps STRC payout unchanged amid push to maintain $100 share price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The author of this story owns shares in Strategy (MSTR). Strategy, the world’s largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin BTC$73,038.00, has maintained the 11.5% dividend rate on its perpetual preferred stock, Stretch (STRC), marking the fourth consecutive month without an increase. STRC has undergone seven dividend increases since its introduction in July 2025 with a 9% dividend rate.

The post Bitcoin Supply At Loss Jumps To 8.33M BTC As 580k Coins Bought Above $72.9k Turn Underwater appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s latest pullback has not simply erased dollar gains. It has flipped a large block of recent buyers into an immediate loss position, creating a fresh overhang that market participants cannot ignore. According to the Glassnode update, supply held at a loss jumped to 8.33 million BTC once the price contracted to $72,900. That is up from 7.75 million BTC when the market stood at $76,600. The delta between the two loss tallies implies roughly 580,000 BTC was accumulated inside the $72,900–$76,600 window. Now that the price has slipped below the lower end of that range, the entire cohort sits underwater. For holders who entered during what they likely considered a local bid, the reversal changes the calculus. They are no longer waiting for a profit. They are deciding when to cut the loss. Why the $72.9k–$76.6k Cluster Matters Cohorts that form aro

The post Euro wavers amid mixed Eurozone data, rising geopolitical tensions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) holds marginal losses against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, although the EUR/USD pair remains steady right below the top of the last two weeks’ range, at the 1.1660 area.

The US and Iran exchanged strikes earlier on Monday, adding strain to an already frail ceasefire, while Israel ramped up its operations in Lebanon, complicating the situation further. The US President Donald Trump is still due to sign a memorandum of understanding that would extend the ceasefire for 60 days. In Iran, the Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf threatened retaliation in a post on X to “clear evidence of US noncompliance with the ceasefire.” In Europe, the HCOB Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was revised up to 51.6 in

The post Brent: Volatile swings on Iran headlines – Deutsche Bank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Deutsche Bank analysts highlight that Brent Oil has seen sharp moves as markets react to prospects for a US-Iran deal. Brent crude fell 19.3% in May, its biggest drop since March 2020, and declined 11.1% last week as ceasefire hopes grew. However, Brent is up 2.4% this morning, with traders watching whether negotiations satisfy President Trump’s demands. Oil swings with US-Iran deal hopes “It was another eventful month, as hopes for a US-Iran deal meant Brent crude (-19.3%) saw its biggest decline since March 2020 when the pandemic lockdowns began. So stagflation fears eased dramatically, and the S&P 500 hit fresh records.” “Whether June continues the positivity of May will surely depend on whether the hopes of a US-Iran deal turn into reality. It’s been 93 days now since the strikes began and 54 since the truce that later became a ceasefire started.” “For now, it seems Mr Trump is st
