Odaily Odaily News: A recent report released by Gate Research Institute, titled "Research and Backtesting Analysis of BTC Trading Framework Based on Multi-Agent LLM," points out that compared to a single LLM directly generating trading signals, the Multi-Agent LLM architecture more closely mirrors the research and investment process of real financial institutions. By leveraging collaboration and debate among analysts, researchers, traders, and risk control teams, it enhances the transparency and risk control capabilities of trading decisions. The research, based on the TradingAgents framework, constructs an AI trading system applicable to the crypto scenario for the BTC market, introducing multiple agent roles such as technical analysis, news analysis, sentiment analysis, and macro/on-chain analysis.Using BTC/USDT 1-hour data, the study conducted historical backtesting of the TradingAgents-BTC strategy. The results show that the strategy achieved a total return of +20.25% during the testing period, significantly outperforming the Buy & Hold strategy's -7.89% over the same period. Furthermore, its maximum drawdown was controlled at -17.41%, lower than the Buy & Hold's -27.06%. The research suggests that during periods of consolidation and decline, the multi-agent framework can reduce some risk exposure through Sell/Underweight and Flat states, and re-enter long positions during market rebounds, thereby improving overall risk-adjusted returns.The report indicates that the Multi-Agent LLM framework shows certain application potential in crypto trading scenarios. However, the current backtesting period covers only about three months, and 1-hour level trading may still be affected by transaction fees, slippage, and signal latency. Future work requires further validation of the strategy's stability and generalization capabilities over longer historical periods, different market conditions, and across a wider range of asset classes.
Goldman Sachs’ Q1 2026 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows a significant reduction in its holdings of crypto asset ETFs: it has fully exited all XRP-related ETFs and all Solana ETFs offered by Grayscale, Bitwise, and Fidelity. Its Bitcoin ETF holdings still include approximately $690 million in BlackRock’s IBIT and roughly $25 million in Fidelity’s FBTC—both down about 10% quarter-over-quarter. Ethereum ETF holdings declined more sharply: its position in the iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA) was cut by approximately 70%, leaving about $114 million. Additionally, Goldman Sachs increased its stakes in Circle, Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, Robinhood, and PayPal during the same period, while reducing positions in Strategy and Riot Platforms.
Goldman Sachs significantly reduced its crypto ETF exposure in the first quarter of 2026 and has completely exited its holdings in XRP and Solana-related ETFs.Filings show that in the fourth quarter of 2025, Goldman Sachs held approximately $154 million in XRP-related ETFs, including products from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares, making it one of the largest institutional holders of XRP ETFs at the time. Additionally, the firm previously held Solana-related ETFs such as the Grayscale Solana Trust ETF, Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, and Fidelity Solana Fund, all of which have now been fully sold off.However, Goldman Sachs still retains substantial holdings in BTC and ETH ETFs. Specifically, it holds approximately $690 million in BlackRock's IBIT and about $25 million in Fidelity's FBTC, though both positions were reduced by roughly 10% compared to the previous quarter. Meanwhile, its holding in BlackRock's ETHA shrank by about 70%, leaving approximately 7.2 million shares valued at around $114 million.Furthermore, Goldman Sachs increased its holdings in crypto-related stocks such as Circle, Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, Robinhood, and PayPal, while reducing positions in mining and infrastructure companies like Strategy, Bit Digital, Riot Platforms, and IREN.

According to Odaily, the latest 13F filing from Wells Fargo reveals that in the first quarter of 2026, the bank increased its holdings in multiple Ethereum spot ETFs, including BlackRock's ETHA and Bitwise's ETHW.Specifically, the ETHA position rose from approximately 672,600 shares in Q4 2025 to around 1.1 million shares, an increase of about 63.5%; while the ETHW position increased from roughly 186,800 shares to 257,000 shares, a gain of approximately 37%. As of the end of Q1, the total value of Wells Fargo's ETH ETF holdings stood at about $21.5 million.In contrast, its Bitcoin ETF holdings showed a divergence: the IBIT position declined slightly, while positions in BITB and the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF increased by approximately 24% and 41%, respectively. Currently, IBIT remains its largest crypto ETF holding, valued at around $250 million.Additionally, Wells Fargo made significant adjustments to its crypto-related stock portfolio, reducing its Galaxy Digital position by approximately 97%, while increasing its Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) holdings from about 322,700 shares to 726,000 shares—a surge of roughly 125%.

according to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR) purchased 535 BTC ($43 million) at a price of approximately $80,340 last week. They currently hold a total of 818,869 BTC ($66.398 billion) at an average cost of $75,540, with a floating profit of $4.54 billion (+7.3%).Ethereum treasury company Bitmine (BMNR) purchased 26,659 ETH ($62.14 million) at a price of approximately $2,331 last week. They currently hold a total of 5,206,790 ETH ($12.132 billion) at an average cost of $3,539, with a floating loss of $6.297 billion (-34.1%). Additionally, 90% of their ETH (4.713 million coins) has been deposited into Ethereum staking to earn interest.
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Michael Saylor, has been accelerating its Bitcoin acquisitions this year. JPMorgan analysts stated that if the current pace continues, the company's total Bitcoin purchases for the year could reach approximately $30 billion. So far this year, Strategy has added 145,834 Bitcoin to its holdings, valued at around $11 billion. Analysis indicates that a significant portion of the company's purchases occurred when Bitcoin was below its average cost of roughly $75,000, reflecting a more "opportunistic" allocation strategy.At the current rate, Strategy's total Bitcoin purchases in 2026 could significantly exceed the approximately $22 billion levels seen in 2024 and 2025. Analysts noted that the company has re-accelerated its buying since April, suggesting its strategy is becoming more dependent on market conditions and financing availability. Meanwhile, Strategy's stock continues to trade at a premium of approximately 26% to its net asset value (NAV), providing favorable conditions for the company to continue purchasing Bitcoin through equity and debt financing. The company currently holds approximately 818,334 BTC, with a total value exceeding $65 billion. (The Block)
investment bank TD Cowen on Thursday raised its price target for Strategy (MSTR) to $395 from $385, believing the market underestimates the capital efficiency of the company’s bitcoin accumulation strategy following its increased issuance of STRC perpetual preferred stock. Analysts Lance Vitanza and Jonnathan Navarrete indicated that the new target still implies over 110% upside from Strategy’s Wednesday closing price of $186.82.The analysis notes that Strategy is gradually reducing common equity financing and increasingly relying on STRC perpetual preferred stock, which yields 11.5%, to fund bitcoin purchases. STRC is also a core component of Michael Saylor’s “42/42 plan,” which aims to raise $42 billion each through equity and fixed-income instruments over three years.TD Cowen believes the market underestimates the effect of the STRC structure on boosting “BTC Yield,” a metric measuring the company’s growth in bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share. The report raised its BTC Yield forecast for Strategy’s fiscal 2026 to 18.2% from 16.7%, and for 2027 to 9.6% from 5.4%. Additionally, analysts argue that concerns about Strategy being a “perpetual dilution machine” are exaggerated. The company’s annual preferred stock dividend payments, currently around $1.5 billion, represent only about 2.2% of the value of its 818,334 BTC reserve.In TD Cowen’s base case scenario, bitcoin is expected to reach $140,000 by the end of 2026. In a bull case, bitcoin could rise to $175,000, with Strategy potentially purchasing over $5 billion in bitcoin per quarter. (The Block)
According to Odaily, on-chain analyst Yu Jin monitored that Strategy (MSTR), the bitcoin treasury company, did not purchase BTC last week, which is unusual for them. They currently still hold a total of 818,334 BTC ($64.413 billion), with an average cost price of $75,537, resulting in an unrealized profit of $2.598 billion (+4.2%).Bitmine (BMNR), the Ethereum treasury company, purchased 101,745 ETH ($235 million) at a price of approximately $2,311 last week. They now hold a total of 5,180,131 ETH ($12.08 billion), with an average cost price of $3,546, resulting in an unrealized loss of $6.289 billion (-34.2%).
QCP Capital stated in its analysis that after a solid performance in April, Bitcoin continued its strong momentum in early May, breaking through the $80,000 mark for the first time since January 31. Spot ETF inflows remain a significant positive factor, recording approximately $163 million in net inflows last week. Despite Strategy pausing its Bitcoin purchases this week, BTC still managed to rise, indicating that market momentum is no longer solely dependent on the "HODL narrative" and is instead gradually shifting towards broader capital support. The key going forward is whether BTC can effectively hold above the CME gap range of $82,000 to $83,000, which will serve as the core watershed for the continuation of the short-term uptrend.
Odaily Strategy founder Michael Saylor posted on X yesterday stating that the company will suspend its routine weekly Bitcoin purchase plan this week, marking the second time this year it has paused weekly accumulation.To date, Strategy holds a total of 818,334 BTC, representing approximately 3.9% of Bitcoin's total supply. Data from Saylortracker shows that as Bitcoin staged a strong rebound today, breaking through the $80,000 mark, the total market value of BTC held by Strategy has returned to above $65 billion, currently standing at $65.74 billion. The average cost price is $75,537, with an unrealized profit of $3.926 billion.Strategy is expected to announce its Q1 earnings on Tuesday, with the market anticipating a loss per share of $18.98, higher than the loss of $16.38 per share in the same period last year. Its ongoing coin purchases are primarily financed through stock (MSTR) and perpetual preferred stock. Among these, the high-dividend product STRC (annualized yield approximately 11.5%) has raised concerns among some analysts regarding structural risks, though others argue that this model can convert yield demands into long-term Bitcoin exposure.

According to CoinDesk, Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, stated at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas that U.S. banks may hold bitcoin on their balance sheets in the future—but the timeline remains uncertain due to guidance from the Federal Reserve, the Basel Accords, and global regulatory requirements. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley’s recently launched MSBT—the first bank-issued bitcoin ETP—drew over $100 million in inflows within its first six days of listing, all sourced exclusively from self-directed investment channels and not yet made available to financial advisors. Oldenburg noted that slow adoption by the advisor channel stems primarily from an education gap; the bank has initiated internal training programs to address this and is applying for a digital trust charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to support direct custody of crypto assets and spot crypto trading services.
Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), a Canadian asset management institution, disclosed that it purchased approximately 1.38 million shares of Strategy (MSTR) in the first quarter, with an investment amount of about $172 million.Based on the current stock price of approximately $175, the market value of this position has risen to about $241 million, resulting in an unrealized gain of roughly $69 million. AIMCo's average cost basis for the position is approximately $125 per share.AIMCo previously held shares of the company from 2019 to 2020 and liquidated its position shortly after the company pivoted to its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
market分歧 has widened regarding Strategy's financing model of continuously accumulating Bitcoin through its preferred stock STRC. Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer stated in his latest report that the interpretation of the STRC model as a "circular financing or Ponzi structure" is a "serious misreading" and emphasized that the mechanism is an "intentionally designed and sustainable capital framework," with the core logic being to convert market demand for yield into long-term Bitcoin exposure.According to an SEC 8-K filing, Strategy raised approximately $3.5 billion in the first three weeks of April, with over 85% coming from STRC issuance. Subsequently, it made three consecutive purchases within the following three weeks, acquiring a total of 51,364 Bitcoins worth approximately $3.9 billion. Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings have now increased to 818,334 BTC, with a market value of around $62.5 billion, and it has recently returned to an unrealized profit of about $700 million.Benchmark believes that this structure does not rely on continuous issuance to sustain itself and could even sell a portion of its Bitcoin to pay preferred stock dividends if necessary. However, significant market skepticism remains, with some arguing that selling financed assets to pay dividends could be perceived as a risk signal, potentially triggering broader market pressure.

Saturn, a developer of on-chain yield stablecoins, announced it has purchased approximately $17 million worth of shares related to STRC, Strategy's perpetual preferred stock, over the past three days. Its total holdings have now increased to about $50 million. Analysts believe that Saturn's continued accumulation reflects long-term confidence in STRC's asset structure and yield mechanism, further strengthening its asset allocation within the on-chain yield stablecoin strategy.
According to The Block, Bernstein analysts stated in their latest report that the fundamentals of the crypto market are continuously improving. Bitcoin’s recent low of $60,000 has formed a clear bottom, and with the current price approaching $80,000, a longer-term structural bull market is likely, driven by institutional demand. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani highlighted the following key drivers: • Ongoing expansion of institutional channels: Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab’s spot Bitcoin/Ethereum trading platform have both recently launched; approximately 60% of Bitcoin supply has remained unmoved for over one year, indicating a stabilizing holder structure; • Persistent accumulation by Strategy: Its STRC perpetual preferred stock product has attracted yield-oriented investors, and its current holdings stand at 818,334 BTC; • Stablecoin demand hits an all-time high: Stablecoin supply has surpassed $30 billion, decoupling from the crypto market’s price cycle and reflecting sustained real-world payment and settlement demand; • Tokenized real-world assets accelerating growth: Tokenized private credit and Treasury assets now total $34.5 billion, representing a 110% year-on-year increase. Bernstein also cautioned that quantum computing poses a long-term potential risk, though it expects the blockchain ecosystem to have ample time to complete the transition to post-quantum security.
QCP Group’s analysis states that U.S.-Iran negotiations have once again collapsed, while the Middle East ceasefire continues, leaving the overall geopolitical landscape relatively static. A shooting incident occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, with Trump suspected as the target. Following Asia’s market open, BTC briefly surged past $79,000 and ETH above $2,400—but gains quickly reversed amid concerns triggered by news of Iran’s Foreign Minister traveling to Russia for talks with Putin. Since early April, BTC has rallied over 14% cumulatively, marking four consecutive weeks of positive closes. Spot ETFs recorded nine straight days of net inflows totaling approximately $2.11 billion. Strategy funds added over $3.8 billion worth of BTC in the past month. The current key resistance level for BTC lies near the CME gap around $82,000. BTC perpetual contract funding rates remain persistently negative; a breakout above this level could trigger short-covering. Implied volatility continues declining, and risk-reversal skew has narrowed somewhat, signaling gradually rising market interest in upside exposure. Key events this week: - April 29: Earnings reports from Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google, plus the FOMC interest-rate decision. - April 30: Apple earnings report, U.S. Q1 GDP data, and March PCE inflation data.
Odaily Odaily News: BIT Official's daily chart analysis indicates that spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net inflows for nine consecutive trading days, with institutional buying power accumulating steadily and providing support for prices.It notes that Strategy has invested approximately $11 billion this year to increase its Bitcoin holdings. The combination of ETF inflows and corporate buying is helping to strengthen market absorption capacity. The analysis suggests that, in the absence of significant risk event disruptions, the current market structure remains supportive of Bitcoin's gradual upward trend.
According to CoinDesk, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, stated that the Bitcoin winter has ended, as Bitcoin’s price has held above $78,000. Market analyst Mati Greenspan believes the recent market downturn should not be labeled a “crypto winter,” but rather a sharp correction within a broader bull market—and added that Bitcoin has likely already bottomed out, with its next leg up potentially driven by both institutional and sovereign adoption. The report notes that Strategy recently acquired 13,927 additional bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 780,897 BTC. Greenspan also indicated that sovereign adoption—specifically central banks adding Bitcoin to their reserve assets—could be a key driver in the next phase.
