The bitcoin price fell on Wednesday night into Thursday, even after the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled a cautious approach heading into 2026.

On Wednesday, the Fed cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 3.50%–3.75%, a move widely expected by markets. However, the 9–3 split among Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members and Powell’s hawkish remarks during the press conference tempered investor enthusiasm for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. 

One official favored a deeper 50-basis-point cut, while two voted against any reduction.

The Bitcoin price briefly jumped over $94,000 but then dropped below…

Corporate Bitcoin treasuries faced mark-to-market losses in November, according to an exclusive Corporate Adoption Report from Bitcoin Treasuries. 

The report, covering more than 100 companies, offers a systematic look at how last month’s price drop affected public company holdings.

Bitcoin briefly fell below $90,000 in late November. The decline pushed many 2025 buyers into the red. Of the 100 companies for which cost basis is measurable, about two-thirds now sit on unrealized losses at current prices, per the report.

Despite the volatility, large balance sheets continued to dominate net Bitcoin buying. Strategy, Strive, and a small cohort of high-conviction buyers accounted for…

This piece is featured in the print edition of Bitcoin Magazine, The Freedom Issue. We’re sharing it here as a sample of the ideas explored throughout the full issue.

On November 3, 2025, the freedom for developers to build financial privacy software is on trial.

Samourai Wallet was a Bitcoin privacy wallet developed by Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill. It included specialized privacy tools that mixed the coins of wallet users in ways that required no third-party custody. The service’s servers helped coordinate “mixing” — methods to conceal the origin of coins and offer users some degree of forward privacy.

Rodriguez and Hill were arrested on April 24,…

Bitcoin price surged above $94,000 today following a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

The Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate to 3.50%–3.75% to support maximum employment and contain somewhat elevated inflation amid moderate economic growth and slowing job gains.

This is the Fed’s third rate cut this year and the first since October. Most officials backed the move, while three dissented — one favoring a larger cut, two preferring no change.

Fed forecasts for 2026 and 2027 remain modest, with expectations for small rate reductions, 4.4% unemployment, and 2.4% PCE inflation.

The rate decision pushed the Bitcoin price higher, although markets had largely priced…

Strategy, the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury company, has submitted a formal response to MSCI’s consultation on digital asset treasury companies (DATs), urging the index provider not to exclude companies whose digital asset holdings exceed 50% of total assets.

In its detailed letter to the MSCI Equity Index Committee, Strategy argued that the proposed threshold is “misguided” and would have “profoundly harmful consequences” for both investors and the broader digital asset industry.

Founded in 1989, the company operates as a corporate treasury and capital markets business with significant Bitcoin holdings, offering investors a range of equity and fixed-income…
