Bitcoin News Today:

Bitcoin’s price surged above $111,000 following a significant purchase of 4,048 BTC by corporate investor Strategy, valued at $449.3 million. This acquisition increased Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 636,505 BTC, with a cumulative investment of $46.95 billion. The purchase was funded through a series of at-the-market (ATM) offerings, including $471.8 million raised from the STRF, STRK, STRD, and MSTR ATMs over the period from August 26 to September 1, 2025. The company’s aggressive acquisition strategy reflects broader corporate adoption trends, with other major firms like Ming Shing Group and KindlyMD also making large Bitcoin purchases recently. Strategy has also introduced Bitcoin-linked financial instruments, such as preferred stocks with high coupon rates, to attract institutional investors and finance further Bitcoin acquisitions [1].

The rise in Bitcoin’s price has coincided with a reduction in its volatility, according to JPMorgan strategists. The firm noted that corporate treasuries now hold over 6% of Bitcoin’s total supply, effectively acting as a form of private sector quantitative easing for the crypto market. The stabilization in Bitcoin’s price movements is attributed to the emergence of financial products such as futures and ETFs, alongside a growing number of corporate Bitcoin holdings. Prominent firms like Trump Media & Technology Group, GameStop, and Metaplanet have collectively purchased tens of billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin since early 2025, signaling a shift in institutional attitudes toward digital assets [3].

In parallel, Ethereum (ETH) faces its own market developments. The Ethereum Foundation recently announced the sale of 10,000 ETH (worth approximately $43 million at the time of writing) to fund research and development, grants, and donations. The foundation plans to execute the sale through smaller transactions over several weeks, avoiding a single large transaction that could cause market disruption. The sale aligns with the foundation’s treasury policy, which includes periodic assessments of its fiat-denominated assets and determines whether ETH should be sold to maintain a balanced portfolio. This strategy follows previous sales to SharpLink Gaming and other investors, which contributed to Ethereum’s historical price surges [4].

While Bitcoin continues to gain institutional traction, Ethereum’s price recently surged past $4,326, rising more than 23% in the previous 30 days. The increase coincided with Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin’s speculation that Wall Street’s adoption of ETH could eventually surpass Bitcoin as a monetary base. Lubin’s comments came amid broader market optimism, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hints at policy adjustments on interest rates. Despite these gains, Ethereum faces competition from Bitcoin, which remains the dominant digital asset by market capitalization and institutional adoption [4].

Looking ahead, Bitcoin’s future trajectory may mirror historical patterns observed after gold hits record highs. Analysts suggest that if Bitcoin follows the same trend, it could rise by approximately 30% in three months, reaching between $135,000 and $145,000. A full repetition of past gains could push Bitcoin toward $200,000 to $400,000 over the next year. This potential is attributed to Bitcoin’s role as a high-beta asset, often outperforming gold after it sets new records. However, technical indicators, such as bearish divergence on Bitcoin’s weekly RSI, suggest caution among traders, as similar patterns have historically preceded sharp corrections [2].
