According to The Block, Susie Ward, CEO of Bitcoin Policy UK, publicly criticized Strategy founder Michael Saylor’s promotional video for STRC during an interview at last week’s BTC Conference in Prague, calling it “dishonest” for failing to accurately disclose the product’s risk profile. STRC is a perpetual preferred share offering an 11.25% dividend; Strategy raises funds through its issuance to continuously purchase bitcoin. Ward stated that although she is a staunch bitcoin supporter and also a shareholder of Strategy, she remains cautious about the company’s model of accumulating bitcoin via leverage and equity dilution—arguing that such practices tie bitcoin’s reputation to “fiat games,” with some projects resembling meme coin pump-and-dump schemes.
Odaily News, Susie Ward, CEO of Bitcoin Policy UK and a Bitcoin advocate, stated that although she is also a shareholder of Strategy, she is concerned about the way Michael Saylor promotes STRC, arguing that he has not fully explained the risks of the product.STRC is a perpetual preferred stock issued by Strategy, offering a dividend yield of 11.25%. Strategy raises funds by selling this type of preferred stock and uses the proceeds to continue purchasing Bitcoin, serving its long-term BTC accumulation strategy.Ward stated that when Saylor showcased STRC's returns in a related video, it gave the impression that it was “risk-free,” and she believes this expression is “dishonest.” She is particularly concerned that investors may underestimate the structural risks behind the model of using high-dividend preferred stock financing to purchase Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, once again shared content related to the Bitcoin Tracker, captioning it “Still adding dots.” Based on its prior posting pattern, the market expects the company to disclose new Bitcoin acquisition data next week.

Odaily News The prediction market platform Polymarket issued a "resolution clarification" that overturned a market result that had already appeared to be settled. This led to a 20-year-old student's $35,000 bet being declared invalid, while a total of approximately $3.8 million in positions across 1,838 accounts on the platform were liquidated.This clarification clause was written into the platform's rulebook, allowing for retroactive interpretative corrections to market settlement results, thereby altering the final payout. The incident has sparked strong dissatisfaction among traders, who argue that this "post-hoc ruling" mechanism undermines the certainty of market rules, and has ignited widespread controversy within the Polymarket and Kalshi communities.According to user disclosures, the incident originates from a case made public on June 13, where a market result that had ostensibly been settled was later reversed due to a change in rule interpretation.Industry analysts believe that this type of mechanism introduces "settlement clarification risk" into prediction markets, which is a type of tail risk event that cannot be hedged. If such operations occur frequently, they could drive high-risk liquidity away from the current platform towards trading venues regulated by the CFTC or those with formal arbitration mechanisms.Furthermore, this event is seen as one in a recent series of controversies, including settlement disputes surrounding the UMA oracle and Strategy's Bitcoin-related markets, which continue to test market participants' trust in the "finality" of prediction markets.

According to CoinDesk, Michael Saylor and Bitcoin advocate Matthew Kratter have engaged in a public debate over whether Strategy’s (MSTR) latest round of Bitcoin purchases has diluted shareholders. The dispute centers on Strategy’s Bitcoin yield, which declined from 13.0% on June 1 to 12.8% on June 8 following the acquisition of 1,550 additional BTC. During the same period, the company’s Bitcoin holdings increased from 843,706 BTC to 845,256 BTC, while the diluted share count rose from 382.756 million to 384.180 million shares. Matthew Kratter contends that this shift indicates dilution in terms of “BTC per share.” Michael Saylor counters that Bitcoin yield is merely a narrow metric measuring “BTC per share” and fails to capture overall shareholder value creation. He notes that this transaction also added approximately $100 million in cash reserves, raising the company’s U.S. dollar reserves to roughly $1 billion—thus delivering net value accretion when viewed through a broader balance-sheet lens. The debate over how to interpret these metrics has sparked discussion among market participants. Some argue the company is “adjusting its metrics to fit its narrative,” while short sellers characterize this as a common corporate practice of “metric switching.”

Bybit’s latest options weekly report states that all four directional predictions for this week were fulfilled: BTC hit a low of $59,130—surpassing the prior target range of $65,000–$67,000. Opening last week at $73,760 and plunging to $59,130, BTC recorded its largest single-week decline since the FTX collapse (roughly −20%). It has since rebounded to $63,000. Three bearish catalysts recently converged: stronger-than-expected NFP data reigniting rate-hike expectations; SpaceX’s IPO siphoning liquidity; and Strategy selling BTC for the first time in four years. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a record net outflow of $1.7 billion for the week. ETH’s daily RSI plunged to a historic low of 12.78, while BTC’s daily RSI dropped to 15.45—raising the probability of a technical rebound, though trend reversal remains unconfirmed. DVOL surged from its historical low of 35 to 55 before retreating to 48; put options have already been profitably closed. Currently, chasing long positions is discouraged. BTC faces significant resistance between $63,000 and $65,000. Entry should await either the June 10 CPI release or DVOL falling back to 40—or until BTC convincingly closes above $65,000.
According to CoinDesk, Wall Street brokerage Bernstein released a research report stating that the primary driver behind Bitcoin’s price weakness in 2026 will be slowing capital flows—not the quantum computing threat feared by the market. The report notes that Bitcoin treasury companies and ETFs combined attracted approximately $12 billion in inflows this year, a sharp decline from $60 billion in 2025; meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs—holding $75 billion in assets—recorded roughly $2.6 billion in net outflows, with new demand coming mainly from corporate buyers such as MicroStrategy (MSTR). Bernstein analysts attribute the slowdown in capital flows to retail investors’ massive shift into AI-related assets. This year, the strongest-performing segments of the crypto market have been tokenized equities and commodities. Nevertheless, analysts view the ETF outflows as relatively moderate. Bitcoin’s investor base has evolved from one dominated by retail participants to a more diversified group—including ETFs, corporate treasuries, wealth management platforms, pension funds, and sovereign investors—resulting in a healthier market structure. The long-term value-storage thesis for Bitcoin remains intact.
market maker Wintermute released a weekly market analysis report stating that Bitcoin fell below $62,000 last week, with a weekly decline of approximately 14%, hitting a new low since September 2024. Wintermute believes that although Strategy founder Michael Saylor disclosed the sale of 32 BTC, drawing market attention, the scale of this transaction is negligible. The real reason for the market's weakness is the continuous reduction of positions by U.S. institutional investors and the outflow of funds from spot Bitcoin ETFs.Wintermute pointed out that the U.S. added 172,000 non-farm jobs in May, far exceeding the market expectation of approximately 80,000. Meanwhile, job openings rose to a near two-year high, and the service price index hit a new high since August 2022. Strong economic data has weakened market expectations for a Fed rate cut, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield to 4.55%, creating a "good news is bad news" macro environment that pressures risk assets.Meanwhile, the rally in AI concept stocks has shown signs of weakening, with the Nasdaq index falling 4.7% for the week and the S&P 500 recording its first weekly decline since March. Wintermute believes that the pullback in the AI sector, rising yields, and the upcoming SpaceX IPO have collectively dampened market risk appetite.In the crypto market, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for 10 consecutive trading days as of May 30, with total outflows of approximately $2.97 billion. The net outflow in May reached $2.43 billion, marking the worst monthly performance since 2026. Wintermute OTC data shows that retail funds continue to flow into U.S. stocks, while U.S. institutional investors have recently turned bearish and are leading the selling.However, Wintermute believes there are also positive signals in the market, including long-term capital gradually building positions at current price levels. From a perspective of more than one year, Bitcoin's risk-reward ratio is becoming more attractive. The report stated that the SpaceX IPO on June 12 will serve as an important barometer for observing market risk appetite. If the issuance is smoothly absorbed, it could help boost market sentiment; conversely, it may exacerbate the pressure on risk assets.
Nasdaq-listed company TON Strategy disclosed that it received approximately 3.3 million TON in rewards in May from staking about 227 million Toncoin, valued at roughly $5.6 million at market prices, with an initial annualized staking yield of around 1.48%. The company staked nearly all of its TON holdings and supported a series of network upgrades that have taken effect in the latest governance proposal, including improvements to smart contract execution efficiency, block synchronization, and validation capabilities, aimed at enhancing throughput and scalability.

Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, has once again released Bitcoin Tracker-related information, captioning it: "A good time to add more dots.."According to previous patterns, Strategy always discloses its increased Bitcoin holdings the day after such a message is released.
Odaily Strategy founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor published a lengthy post titled "The Four Ideologies of Bitcoin," categorizing the current Bitcoin community into four major ideologies: Bitcoin Maximalists, Bitcoin Capitalists, Bitcoin Technologists, and Bitcoin Fundamentalists.Among them, Maximalists emphasize Bitcoin's status as the dominant digital currency network; Capitalists advocate for deeply integrating Bitcoin into global capital markets, banking systems, and corporate balance sheets; Technologists support enhancing scalability, privacy, and security through technical upgrades; Fundamentalists emphasize self-custody, decentralization, and protocol immutability to prevent Bitcoin from being "captured" by institutions or regulatory forces.Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin has evolved from a niche technological experiment into a global digital currency network and asset. While different groups all recognize Bitcoin's importance, they differ in its development path, expansion methods, and protection mechanisms. The future success of Bitcoin requires integrating these four perspectives: maintaining core characteristics such as scarcity, security, and decentralization, while also promoting institutional adoption, capital market integration, and higher-level innovation. He pointed out that Bitcoin can simultaneously serve as a currency for individuals, capital for corporations, collateral for banks, a reserve asset for nations, and infrastructure for global financial markets.
Peter Schiff, a well-known gold bug and cryptocurrency critic, posted on X: "Most STRC investors may end up losing most of their money. Once Michael Saylor is forced to cancel the dividend payments, the price of STRC will eventually crash. When that happens, a wave of lawsuits is likely to further exacerbate the problems facing Strategy (MSTR). Investors who suffer losses due to misleading promotions are expected to seek compensation through legal channels to recover their investment losses."
: According to an official announcement, on June 3, Trust Wallet announced a partnership with BNB Chain and CoinMarketCap to officially launch the "BNB Hack: AI Trading Agents" hackathon, featuring a total prize pool of $36,000. The Trust Wallet Agent Kit serves as the core on-chain execution technology stack for this event. This hackathon also marks the first time the Trust Wallet Agent Kit has been fully integrated as a core infrastructure component into a top-tier AI Agent hackathon system.The hackathon features two main tracks: "Autonomous Trading Agents" (prize pool $24,000, 5 winners) and "Strategy Skills" (prize pool $6,000, 3 winners), in addition to three partner special awards of $2,000 each. In the "Autonomous Trading Agents" track, participants must leverage the Trust Wallet Agent Kit to achieve local self-custodial signing, autonomous mode operation, and on-chain trade execution, deployed within native BNB Chain scenarios such as PancakeSwap and BSC Perpetual Contracts. The "Strategy Skills" track does not require an execution layer; participants build backtestable strategy proposals based on 12 categories of data tools from CoinMarketCap MCP, including market data, technical indicators, on-chain data, sentiment, and news.Track one uses real PnL as the core evaluation criterion, setting a maximum drawdown limit as the risk control threshold. Track two is comprehensively scored by a judging panel across four dimensions: technical execution, originality, real-world value, and presentation. The build window runs from June 3 to June 21, the trading window from June 22 to June 28, and winners will be announced during the week of July 6. In addition to cash prizes, winning teams will receive CoinMarketCap Pro API subscription credits, mentorship from CMC Labs, and the BNB Chain Kickstart ecosystem support package.
QCP released its latest market commentary, noting that BTC has recently faced downward pressure, posting a weekly decline of approximately 11.6% and failing to reclaim key momentum levels. The report highlighted that Strategy sold 32 BTC in late May to pay preferred stock dividends—an action of limited scale but one that weakened its market narrative as a structural BTC buyer.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that, according to Lookonchain, as the crypto market continues to decline, Tom Lee-backed Ethereum reserve company Bitmine's unrealized book losses have exceeded those of Strategy's Bitcoin holdings.Data shows that Bitmine currently holds 5,416,901 ETH, worth approximately $10.03 billion at current market prices, incurring unrealized losses of about $8.9 billion from the average purchase cost.Meanwhile, Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, holds 843,706 BTC, currently valued at approximately $56.26 billion, with book unrealized losses of about $7.6 billion.
According to The Block, Strategy disclosed in an SEC filing that it sold 32 BTC between May 26 and May 31, generating approximately $2.5 million in proceeds to pay dividends on its preferred stock. This marks the company’s first Bitcoin sale since December 2022. The disclosure sparked controversy in a Polymarket prediction market—valued at over $20 million in trading volume—that had asked whether Strategy would sell Bitcoin before May 31. The dispute centers on whether the sale qualifies: “Yes” proponents argue the sale occurred before the deadline; “No” proponents contend the information was not publicly disclosed before the market closed and therefore should not count. The market has now entered its final review phase. Polymarket added that “results confirmed outside the deadline will not be recognized,” leaning toward the “No” side. If the dispute escalates further, UMA token holders will vote to resolve it—but prior reports indicate UMA voting power is highly concentrated, with over 60% of active voters linked to Polymarket accounts, raising concerns about impartiality.
Michael Saylor, chairman of Bitcoin reserve company Strategy, posted a "Working Better" message on Sunday, accompanied by a bubble chart tracking Strategy's Bitcoin purchases over the past six years. This chart has previously appeared multiple times before Strategy announced new Bitcoin purchases.This statement comes ahead of the proxy voting deadline on June 7. Strategy is seeking shareholder approval to change the dividend payment frequency of its STRC perpetual preferred stock from monthly to semi-monthly and is urging retail shareholders to submit their proxy votes. The company stated that the amendment requires at least 50% approval from the 85 million shares outstanding as of April 17, 2026, to pass. (cointelegraph)
