On-chain analyst Murphy stated that currently, all chips bought in BTC in 2025 are basically in a state of loss. Therefore, apart from wallet migrations, the reduction in the scale of 2025 chips likely means that holders are cutting losses and selling. Data shows that as of now, approximately 4.77 million BTC chips bought in 2025 remain, a decrease of 41.5% from the peak in December last year.From the downward trend, this group has experienced two phases: a rapid decrease in chips before February this year, and a significant slowdown in the rate of decline after February, although it still maintains a certain slope. Murphy believes that the 2025 chips may be the largest potential supply side in the current market scale. In contrast, the BTC chips formed in 2024, 2023, and 2022 have basically completed the release of high-level locked positions due to still having unrealized gains, and the slope of the curve is gradually flattening, indicating that the selling pressure from long-term holders is weakening.Historical data shows that during the bottom phases of the past two bear markets, high-level chips have shown a significant decline: at the bottom of the bear market in 2022, the chips bought at high levels in 2021 decreased by about 51%; at the bottom of the bear market in 2018, the chips bought at high levels in 2017 decreased by about 62%. If we refer to historical cycles, Murphy believes that in this bear market bottom phase, the reduction of high-level chips in 2025 may be in the range of 50%-60%, and the current decline of 41.5% indicates that there is still some room for release. However, this judgment has not yet considered the BTC bought by institutional investors such as spot ETFs and MicroStrategy, as this portion of chips is mostly in a long-term locked state, which may reduce the actual market supply pressure.

According to monitoring by Bitcoin News, Galaxy Research stated that the largest known COLDCARD theft involved 1159 BTC, spread across seven attacker addresses, which have not yet been utilized, with 0 BTC cashed out or transferred through mixers. The related BTC was stolen within 41 minutes, but approximately 600 attacker addresses have been flagged by law enforcement, exchanges, and blockchain analysis companies.Meanwhile, a smaller-scale attacker seems to have begun laundering funds. On-chain analysts tracked 64 BTC entering a mixer, of which only about 10 BTC were initially mixed, and 54 BTC were returned as change, which was then split into outputs of about 7 BTC for further mixing. Analysts noted that these unusually large outputs remain easy to trace, making this laundering attempt relatively transparent.

According to SemiAnalysis, AMD reached a performance-based warrant agreement with Meta and OpenAI from the end of last year to the beginning of this year. The warrants will vest in batches based on the two companies' procurement and deployment of up to 6GW of AMD Instinct GPUs, while AMD's stock price must exceed a tiered target (up to $600).As AMD's stock price has risen from around $200 in early 2026 to the current $500-600, SemiAnalysis estimates that the GPU capital costs for Meta and OpenAI have decreased from about $2.15/hour and $2.50/hour to approximately $1.60/hour and $1.75/hour, respectively. If AMD's stock price rises to $600-700, the capital cost of the GPUs themselves will approach zero; if it further exceeds $1000, the total capital cost of the entire cluster (including servers, networks, and CPUs) will effectively be zero for both companies. This analysis is based on the assumption of linear vesting and the premise that the entire 6GW capacity is deployed, and the specific terms of the warrants have not been disclosed.
