Bitcoin miners rally as Terawulf inks $19B AI data-center deal with Anthropic

Terawulf signs a 20-year lease with Anthropic to build a ~401 MW AI data-center campus at Justified Data in Hawesville, KY, potentially generating about $19 billion in revenue, sending Bitcoin mining stocks higher (including Terawulf, IREN, Hut 8, Cipher Digital) as the company pivots toward AI infrastructure; concurrently, Terawulf agrees to sell its 50.1% stake in the Abernathy Joint Venture to a Fluidstack-led group for roughly $450 million, monetizing its investment with first-phase online in late 2027 and full capacity by early 2028.

MicroStrategy Bitcoin Selloff Rumor Fails to Move Markets

Unconfirmed on-chain data suggested MicroStrategy moved 491 BTC on July 1, fueling rumors of a new sale, but there is no SEC filing or confirmation from Michael Saylor; Bitcoin shrugged off the rumor and rose above $61,800 by July 3, indicating demand currently outweighs concerns while MicroStrategy had authorized up to $1.25 billion in tactical BTC sales and had previously sold 32 BTC in May.

Bitcoin Stabilizes Near $61k as Soft Jobs Data Dims Rate-Hike Bets

Bitcoin and ether held gains above $61,000 and $1,700 respectively after a softer-than-expected US payrolls report cooled expectations for further Fed tightening, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logging inflows and risk appetite returning. The data blurred a clear dovish signal amid mixed wage data and the upcoming CPI/PPI prints, leaving near-term volatility and a potential shift in rate expectations as the key driver.

Ross Gerber Ties Trump's $1B Crypto Windfall to Bitcoin's Decline

Renowned investor Ross Gerber links President Trump's reported $1B in crypto profits to Bitcoin's slump, saying 'the grift is real' and that Trump's windfall—over $1B in his first year via cryptocurrency ventures, including about $635M in royalties from the TRUMP memecoin and activity through World Liberty Financial—helps explain why Bitcoin 'went down and isn't going anywhere.' The piece notes political backlash and growing calls for crypto regulation, while BTC trades near $60,100 after a recent move.

Strategy Overhauls Bitcoin Strategy, Plans Sales and Buybacks to Strengthen Reserves

The Bitcoin-treasury company Strategy (MSTR) is revamping its long-standing Bitcoin strategy to shift from a one-way capital approach to active capital management amid a crypto downturn. It plans to sell up to $1.25 billion of Bitcoin to fund a five-part framework: a US dollar reserve policy, a revised preferred-stock policy, a digital credit securities repurchase program, a common stock repurchase program (up to $1 billion), and a Bitcoin monetization program. The board will require reserves equal to at least one year of preferred-dividend payments, enabling up to $1 billion in preferred stock repurchases and up to $1 billion in common stock buybacks. With about $2.55 billion in USD reserves today, the sale could lift total reserves to roughly $3.8 billion, providing a cushion for dividends and interest. Strategy owns about 3% of all outstanding Bitcoin, and CEO Phong Le says the changes aim to create shareholder value through more flexible capital management.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Bet Faces Breaking Point as Leverage Grows

MicroStrategy’s bitcoin-treasury strategy has hit a breaking point: enterprise mNAV fell to 0.99, meaning its total debt and perpetual stock now exceed its bitcoin holdings and threaten future financing. In a bear market, rising leverage and weaker bitcoin prices have exposed the model’s risks, with analysts predicting further downside to around $50k–$20k and possible bitcoin liquidations if needed. The firm’s famed “never sell” stance has softened as Saylor acknowledges potential sales to shore up the balance sheet.

Grantham Predicts Bitcoin's Slow Fade Over Decades

Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham argues bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is a worthless, speculative asset, predicting it will gradually fade away over decades rather than explode or crash. He contrasts it with gold’s steady gains and notes its lack of real-world utility, suggesting its current pullback—from around $60,000 and about 52% off its October peak—could continue as it proves unable to justify its value in practical use.

Trump Drives Quantum Readiness Push to Safeguard Crypto Future

President Trump signed two executive orders to accelerate U.S. quantum computing development and move the federal government to quantum-resistant encryption, aiming for a 'scientifically relevant' quantum computer by 2028 and mandating a shift to post-quantum cryptography by end-2031, with pilots at NIST and DOE facilities and increased cyber-security protections; the policy aligns with crypto industry preparations for a quantum era and the risk Bitcoin faces from quantum attacks.
