Analysis: Strategy's Move to Daily Dividends May Reduce Volatility and Enhance Bitcoin Financing Capacity
Odaily reports: According to Bitfinex analysis, Strategy shareholders voted on October 28 to approve a proposal for daily dividend payments on STRC preferred stock, with preliminary results showing 99.3% of votes in favor. STRC is expected to shift from semi-monthly dividend payments to daily dividend payments starting November 1, with the first cash dividend payment arriving on November 2; Strategy's other three preferred stocks, STRF, STRK, and STRD, are expected to follow suit in January 2027.Strategy's move aims to reduce price volatility around ex-dividend dates. Company CEO Phong Le stated that previously, when STRC paid dividends monthly, prices fell by an average of about 49 basis points around the ex-dividend date, which dropped to about 36 basis points after switching to semi-monthly payments. The company expects that daily dividend payments will further disperse selling pressure and improve price stability.This model was not pioneered by Strategy. Bitcoin treasury company Strive converted its SATA preferred stock to daily dividend payments in June of this year and launched a subordinated preferred stock, SATS, with a fixed annual dividend rate of 15%. In October, Strive issued 7 million shares of SATS at $90 per share, raising approximately $630 million, and used about $511 million of that to purchase 6,182 BTC.
Analysis: Bitcoin's rally may prompt companies to resume buying, but financing conditions are unlikely to return to a looser environment.
According to Cointelegraph, Bitwise Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen stated that overall bitcoin purchasing by treasury companies slowed in Q3 2026. Strategy net acquired 1,666 BTC during the quarter, down from 83,901 BTC in Q2, while other listed companies net acquired 5,617 BTC, down from 45,725 BTC in the previous quarter. He expects corporate bitcoin buying to accelerate again as early as this year. Bitfinex Head of Derivatives Jag Kooner noted that if the premium of treasury companies' stock prices over their bitcoin holdings recovers, it may reignite equity-funded bitcoin purchases, but “a return to the indiscriminate funding frenzy of last year is unlikely,” with capital flowing preferentially to mature companies that possess scale, liquidity, and an established track record.

Bitfinex Analysis: BTC Breaks Below Key Support, ETFs See Single-Day Net Outflow of $450 Million
According to Bitfinex Alpha, Bitcoin broke below the key support level of $77,100 on September 15, closing at $75,702 with a daily decline of 3.2%, marking its third consecutive closing lower after breaking through the recent range bottom. On that day, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $450.4 million, with Fidelity FBTC seeing an outflow of $214.8 million and BlackRock IBIT recording an outflow of $161.7 million, accounting for 84% of total outflows. This marks the 14th-largest single-day net outflow in 2026. The downturn was driven by multiple factors: the failure of the CLARITY Act to advance, the 10-year US Treasury yield rising to 5% (for the first time since 2023), accelerated selling by short-term holders (exchange inflows surged sharply from 19,400 BTC to 33,100 BTC, of which 23,200 BTC were acquired at a loss), and foreign demand dropping to a historic low during the 20-year US Treasury auction. From a technical standpoint, BTC has fallen below the market average value of $76,500 and Strategy's average holding price of $75,412, leaving the average holder currently underwater. If the downtrend continues, key support levels below are $73,500 (cost basis for 3-6 month holders) and $71,300 (realized price for short-term holders). A rebound requires reclaiming $77,100 backed by significant spot trading volume.
Analysis: Bitcoin Selling Pressure Nears One-Year Low, Macro Risks May Limit Rebound
Odaily reports: According to the latest Bitfinex Alpha report, rising energy costs, higher real yields, and weakening consumer confidence have made the macroeconomic environment more complex. Whether BTC can break out of its current range still depends on the Federal Reserve's policy guidance and the subsequent trajectory of real yields and energy prices.Bitcoin has recently remained within a range of approximately 5.5% for more than 24 consecutive trading days, with the cost basis of roughly 840,000 BTC located within this range. As profit-taking has slowed notably, the seller risk ratio has dropped to 7 basis points, one of the lowest levels over the past year, though insufficient buying pressure continues to limit a breakout. Meanwhile, leverage is accumulating at both the upper and lower boundaries of the range, with approximately $1.95 billion in short liquidation risk concentrated near $82,000, while larger long positions exist in the $75,000 to $76,000 range, potentially amplifying price volatility following the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.
Bitcoin remains stuck in the $80,000 consolidation range, with rising rate hike expectations capping upside potential
Odaily News - According to the Bitfinex Alpha analysis report, August employment data has reinforced expectations of a Fed rate hike in September. The market now estimates the probability of a 25-basis-point hike on September 16 at approximately 60%. However, Bitcoin remains near $80,000, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of approximately $986.7 million last week.Data shows that US non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. The manufacturing PMI rose to 54.6, indicating that the economy has not shown signs of a sharp slowdown. Nevertheless, input costs remain elevated, and inflationary pressures have shifted market policy discussions back toward rate hikes.Meanwhile, US Treasury yields continue to weigh on risk assets, with the 2-year yield climbing to 4.37% and the 30-year yield holding at a high of 5.24%. Bitfinex notes that Bitcoin has encountered resistance near $82,000 recently and remains range-bound between approximately $77,200 and $82,100.Bitfinex believes that sustained ETF inflows and growth in stablecoin supply are providing support for Bitcoin, but Fed policy expectations and elevated Treasury yields are limiting upside potential. If this week's inflation data comes in below expectations, the market may once again price in a pause in rate hikes for September; conversely, persistent inflationary pressures could further strengthen rate hike expectations. Until a breakout from the current consolidation range occurs, Bitcoin is more likely to maintain a relatively strong sideways trend rather than confirming the start of a new upward rally.

Stolen BTC Short-Term Selling Pressure Nearly Zero, Benson Sun Says ETH More Likely to Form Selling Pressure
Odaily Report: According to monitoring by Benson Sun, Coinkarma founder Benson Sun posted that in Binance's recent theft incident, the exchange has confirmed the freezing of approximately $2.5 billion in assets, accounting for about half of the total stolen amount, with the remaining assets primarily consisting of Bitcoin and ETH. The stolen Bitcoin is worth approximately over $1 billion, but Bitcoin lacks deep mixing pools similar to Tornado Cash, and the relevant addresses will be flagged by trading platforms and on-chain analytics firms, making it far more difficult to liquidate than ETH. Reviewing cases such as the 2016 Bitfinex stolen Bitcoin that remained untouched for years, and the approximately 1,800 BTC stolen from Coldcard in July this year with 90% still unmoved as of early September, Benson Sun stated that this theft is larger in scale, and splitting addresses, mixing coins, and then discounting through OTC trading could take years, with short-term selling pressure nearly zero. If Binance uses SAFU to compensate and replenish Bitcoin, it could instead create buying pressure. In contrast, large amounts of ERC-20 tokens converted into ETH and then deposited into Tornado Cash are harder to trace, and the amount that could genuinely translate into market selling pressure may be in the range of over $1 billion. Benson Sun believes that market confidence will be impacted, but the direct selling pressure on Bitcoin is not as large as imagined, and called on the industry to seriously address security arrangements for hot wallet management, signature authorization, and quantum resistance in the post-AI era.
282 million USDT transferred from an unknown wallet to Bitfinex
Whale Alert detected two transfers of approximately 142 million and 140 million USDT, respectively, from unknown wallets to Bitfinex.
After adding to the position, 4,500 XAUT tokens show an unrealized loss of $606,000; the gold miner adds to the position again after three months
Odaily reports: According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ai Yi, the gold miner (0x32f...eD48) has added to the position again after three months, withdrawing 300 XAUT, worth approximately $1.2 million, from Bitfinex 3 hours ago. After this addition, the cost basis of the 4,500 XAUT held has dropped to $4,141.54, with a current unrealized loss of $606,000. Since July 2026, this address has accumulated a total of $18.63 million worth of XAUT.
Analysis: Bitcoin May Remain Range-Bound Between $81,300 and $84,400 Ahead of Fed Decision
Odaily reports: Bitfinex stated that despite repeated downward pressure, Bitcoin has continued to hold the lower end of its range, and BTC is expected to remain range-bound between $81,300 and $84,400 ahead of the Federal Reserve's FOMC interest rate decision on October 28. If the price tests the upper boundary of the range, short-term traders taking profits could introduce some selling pressure.On the market data front, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $526.7 million on October 19, indicating somewhat stronger spot demand, but BTC price is still fluctuating narrowly between $81,724 and $83,470 and remains below the average cost basis of ETF investors at $84,333. Meanwhile, futures open interest on major exchanges has rebounded 4.2% from its October 12 low to 645,410 BTC, and funding rates are normalizing, suggesting leveraged long positions have recovered somewhat.In the options market, notional open interest for options expiring on October 23 stands at $1.23 billion, with the max pain point at approximately $82,000; monthly options expiring on October 30 total $11.2 billion, with a max pain point of $76,000. On-chain data shows that the $82,224 cost basis range added approximately 145,000 BTC, while the $80,353 cost basis range shed about 62,000 BTC, indicating some holdings are migrating toward higher cost basis ranges. The short-term holder SOPR is approximately 1.003, and the share of profitable supply is around 70%.
K33 Research: The US government transferred approximately 17,700 BTC, most likely a custodial operation rather than a sell-off.
According to K33 Research, the US government transferred approximately 17,733 BTC to Coinbase Prime this week, including 12,267 BTC linked to the Bitfinex hack incident. Following the transfer, the government’s tagged holdings decreased from 324,527 BTC to 306,795 BTC. If untagged suspected government wallets are included, the total BTC transferred to Coinbase Prime reaches approximately 21,500. Analysts believe this transfer is highly likely a custody operation rather than a liquidation—Coinbase Prime has served as the custodian for the US Marshals Service since 2024. Coins associated with the Bitfinex case remain in the claims process, with the Department of Justice requiring restitution to victims in BTC; the no-sale order for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve also only applies to fully confiscated assets. Additionally, roughly 1,200 BTC originating from FTX and HashFlare were transferred simultaneously and may be disbursed to victims in cash through compensation channels. Notably, the completion of the transfer of approximately 15,000 Bitfinex-claim-related BTC within two days suggests that a distribution plan or relevant rulings may be advancing.

A wallet tagged as the United States transferred 833.6 BTC, worth $71.6 million, to a Coinbase Prime deposit address
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, a wallet tagged as the United States transferred 833.6 BTC, valued at $71.6 million, to a Coinbase Prime deposit address. Arkham data shows that 568.7 BTC of this is related to assets forfeited from HashFlare, and 264.9 BTC is related to funds from the Bitfinex hack. Transfers to a Prime deposit address do not necessarily indicate a confirmed sale; Coinbase also provides custody services for cryptocurrency held by the government, and a similar $288 million transfer occurred in July.
Galaxy Research: Some BTC Transferred by US Government to Coinbase Prime Came from Unlabeled Addresses, LuBian and Bitfinex Assets Account for 71% of Holdings
Odaily News: Galaxy Research on-chain tracking shows that the US government transferred approximately 9,261 BTC, worth about $770 million, to Coinbase Prime over two days. Since the deposit address was first activated in December 2025, it has cumulatively received 11,567 BTC, of which 6,406 came from wallets already labeled as belonging to the US government, and 5,160 came from previously unlabeled wallets.Of the 9,261 BTC transferred this time, nearly half can be traced back to Bitfinex hacker funds recovered by the US government, with some coming from previously known Binance-related seized assets; among them, 2,456 BTC previously had no clear government attribution label, but because they entered this address through the same path as government funds, they are currently regarded as US government seized assets. The US government currently holds approximately 319,100 BTC, of which about 71% comes from LuBian-related BTC and Bitfinex recovered funds.In January 2025, a US federal court approved the return in kind of seized Bitfinex hacker funds to Bitfinex, and the main address holding approximately 94,600 BTC has still not moved. In October 2025, the US Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit against Chen Zhi and related assets, involving approximately 127,300 BTC; this batch of LuBian BTC entered addresses attributed to the US government between June and July 2024. Since 2013, US government-related addresses have received a total of approximately 555,300 BTC, worth about $16.1 billion at prices at the time; during the same period, approximately 236,200 BTC flowed out, worth about $3.8 billion at prices at the time. After excluding internal transfers between the government's own addresses, this transfer, based on labeled government addresses, ranks 9th among the largest single-day BTC outflows in US government history, and is also the largest since December 2, 2024. BTC being transferred to Coinbase Prime does not mean the US government has already sold it, and on-chain transfers alone cannot confirm the specific purpose of the funds.
$470 Million in Seized Crypto Assets Moved, US Government-Linked Wallets Involve 4,695 BTC, WBTC, and USDT
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Arkham reports that US government-linked wallets transferred approximately 4,695 BTC, along with WBTC and USDT, through a series of transactions today, involving total assets worth approximately $470 million. On-chain analyst @TimechainIndex independently flagged the same batch of approximately 4,695 BTC, distributed across 4 transactions. The assets are related to seizures tied to the Bitfinex hack and FTX/Alameda, with some assets already sent to Coinbase Prime deposit addresses. This transfer follows the US government's additional transfer to Coinbase Prime yesterday.

Bitfinex: Stablecoin Supply Has Not Recovered, BTC Rebound Lacks Capital Support
Bitfinex noted that the S&P 500 Index continues to hit record highs, while Bitcoin still hovers around $64,000. The stock rally is primarily driven by expectations of interest rate cuts, but Bitcoin relies more heavily on actual liquidity support. Since mid-May, stablecoin supply has decreased by $14 billion; before stablecoin supply resumes growth, Bitcoin's rebound still lacks funding support.

Reviewing cases such as the 2016 Bitfinex stolen Bitcoin that remained untouched for years, and the approximately 1,800 BTC stolen from Coldcard in July this year with 90% still unmoved as of early September, Benson Sun stated that this theft is larger in scale, and splitting addresses, mixing coins, and then discounting through OTC trading could take years, with short-term selling pressure nearly zero. If Binance uses SAFU to compensate and replenish Bitcoin, it could instead create buying pressure. In contrast, large amounts of ERC-20 tokens converted into ETH and then deposited into Tornado Cash are harder to trace, and the amount that could genuinely translate into market selling pressure may be in the range of over $1 billion. Benson Sun believes that market confidence will be impacted, but the direct selling pressure on Bitcoin is not as large as imagined, and called on the industry to seriously address security arrangements for hot wallet management, signature authorization, and quantum resistance in the post-AI era.
