The post US government’s crypto holdings rise by over $4B since April 1 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Uncle Sam’s crypto wallet got a whole lot fatter this spring. The US government’s cryptocurrency holdings have climbed by more than $4 billion since April 1, cementing its position as the single largest state-level holder of Bitcoin on the planet. Washington didn’t go on a shopping spree to get here. The vast majority of that increase stems from criminal forfeitures and seizures, not active market purchases. How Washington became crypto’s biggest whale As of February 2026, the US government held approximately 328,372 BTC. The holdings sit within two frameworks established under the Trump administration: the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the US Digital Asset Stockpile. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve utilizes Bitcoin forfeited to the Treasury through law enforcement actions, and no sales are made from the reserve. The “no sales” policy is designed to be what officials have describe

The post If We Were to Sell One BTC, We Would Be Buying 20 More: Saylor appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has clarified his recent comments about possible Bitcoin sales, saying any sale by the company would be tactical and would still result in net Bitcoin accumulation. The remarks followed market reaction to Strategy’s first-quarter earnings call, where Saylor said the company could sell a portion of its Bitcoin holdings to help fund dividend payments tied to STRC, its Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock. Saylor has long been associated with the phrase “never sell your Bitcoin,” making the latest comments notable for investors who follow Strategy’s treasury policy. In a later interview, he said the more precise position would be to “never be a net seller of Bitcoin.” He explained that Strategy’s accumulation plan remains unchanged and that selling a small amount of BTC could support financing activity that allows the company to buy more Bit

// News Reading time: 2 min Published: May 10, 2026 at 18:24 The long-awaited $80,000 barrier has finally been shattered.
Today, May 10, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) reached an intra-day high of $80,690, buoyed by a powerful wave of institutional inflows and a critical legislative update in the United States.
This rally is not merely a speculative spike; it is a direct response to the Senate Banking Committee officially setting a markup date for the CLARITY Act. This landmark market-structure bill is viewed as the “final boss” of crypto regulation, aimed at providing the definitive legal certainty needed to fully integrate digital assets into the U.S. financial bedrock.
The market sentiment is overwhelmingly “risk-on.” Analysts are pointing to the $2.44 billion in net ETF inflows recorded over the last week as evidence that Wall Street is no longer just dipping its toes but is now diving headfirst int
The post Major Bitcoin Mining Pools Join Stratum V2 Collaborative Organization appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Seven major Bitcoin mining pools have joined the Stratum V2 working group to develop an industry-wide open standard protocol used by mining pool operators to communicate with individual miners in their pools. AntPool, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, MARA Foundation, SpiderPool and DMND all joined the working group to collaborate on the mining pool communication standard, which could reduce the time it takes pools to successfully mine blocks, according to an announcement from Stratum V2. “Bitcoin mining is competitive and fragmented by design. It is a race for efficiency where a millisecond can determine whether a miner wins a block or loses to a competitor,” the announcement said. Foundry and AntPool are the two largest Bitcoin mining pools by hashrate, the total amount of computing power deployed by miners to secure the Bitcoin network. Foundry controls nearly 30% of the glo
