Michael Saylor Hints at Another Bitcoin Buy
MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor may be preparing for another massive Bitcoin acquisition. He posted his usual Sunday BTC chart on X (formerly Twitter), often a sign that his firm will purchase more BTC as soon as markets open. With over 576,000 BTC already held, his company’s portfolio is now worth over $62.5 billion, showing a 55% gain on their total investment. Saylor’s bullish stance continues to position MicroStrategy as a bellwether for institutional Bitcoin adoption.
Pakistan Dedicates 2,000 Megawatts to Bitcoin Mining and AI
In a bold move, Pakistan has announced it will allocate 2,000 megawatts of excess electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure. This decision, supported by the Ministry of Finance and the Pakistan Crypto Council, aims to attract foreign investment and create high-tech jobs.

Crypto ETFs Will Stay Strong, Says Cathie Wood
ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood believes that crypto ETFs are here to stay, even as crypto wallet adoption grows. Speaking at the Solana Accelerate event, she noted that while wallets may eventually become mainstream, ETFs offer a simple, accessible entry point for investors. With $2.75 billion inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs just last week and BTC hitting $111,970, traditional finance continues to embrace digital assets.
Cetus DEX Hacked: $223 Million Stolen
Security is again in the spotlight as Cetus, a decentralized exchange, suffered a $223 million hack due to a flaw in its automated market maker (AMM) system. The vulnerability allowed hackers to manipulate liquidity values. Fortunately, $163 million was quickly frozen by Sui network validators, but the incident sparked debate about decentralization and blockchain censorship.
Many users criticized Sui’s response, arguing that freezing assets contradicts the principles of decentralization. It raises fresh questions about how much control networks should have in times of crisis.
