According to CoinDesk, an address from the "Satoshi era" that has never been used since March 2011, holding 35.55 bitcoins (approximately $2.54 million), made a transfer this week, which is seen as one of the first publicly visible responses from defendants in a lawsuit involving approximately 3.8 million bitcoins (valued at about $285 billion) in New York.On-chain data shows that the address transferred 15 BTC to a new address on June 2, keeping the remaining 20.55 BTC as change. The address initially received bitcoins on March 27, 2011, when the price of BTC was less than $1.In March of this year, a plaintiff using the pseudonym "Noah Doe" filed a lawsuit in New York state court alongside two LLCs from Wyoming, attempting to claim ownership of approximately 3.8 million long-dormant bitcoin wallets under New York's lost property law, positioning themselves as the "discoverer." The court approved sending on-chain notifications to the relevant wallets via the bitcoin OP_RETURN field.In July 2025, the advisory firm Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors sent dust transactions with links to legal notices to 39,000 wallets, including the aforementioned address, requesting holders to prove ownership within 90 days.Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Research, pointed out that the address corresponds to defendant number 38215 in the case, stating, "Clearly, these bitcoins have not actually been abandoned."Additionally, another address that had been dormant for 15 years, 1CDSyXAQxro4FPUoqAQb81642ruqDsUiNp, also transferred 20 BTC (approximately $1.48 million) on the same day, but this address did not appear on Noah Doe's list of lawsuits.Analysis suggests that the on-chain movements mentioned above indicate that some bitcoins from the Satoshi era, considered "abandoned assets," are actually still under the control of the original holders.

According to the official website of the U.S. Congress, the full text of the U.S. House of Representatives' "American Reserve Modernization Act" (H.R.8957, ARMA) has been made public. This bill was introduced on May 21 by Alaska Congressman Nicholas Begich and has now been referred to the House Financial Services Committee for review.The main content of the bill includes: incorporating Bitcoin obtained by the government through criminal or civil forfeiture into a strategic Bitcoin reserve managed by the Treasury Department, establishing a minimum holding period of 20 years during which it cannot be sold or disposed of; establishing a quarterly reserve verification mechanism and introducing independent third-party audits; allowing states to voluntarily hold their Bitcoin in independent accounts at the Federal Reserve.In terms of forward-looking provisions, the bill requires the Treasury Department and the Department of Commerce to jointly study feasible paths for increasing Bitcoin holdings in a budget-neutral manner within 180 days, including converting non-Bitcoin digital assets, forfeiture proceeds, voluntary donations, tax or tariff revenues, and utilizing mechanisms related to the Federal Reserve or gold certificates.Analysts point out that compared to the previous "BITCOIN Act," which called for the purchase of 1 million Bitcoins, ARMA is more moderate and politically feasible, but still leaves room for future federal increases in Bitcoin holdings.

Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Bitcoin Strategy, published an article on the X platform, stating that the Bitcoin ecosystem is gradually differentiating into four core ideologies: Bitcoin Maximalists, Bitcoin Capitalists, Bitcoin Technologists, and Bitcoin Fundamentalists.Among them, Maximalists emphasize Bitcoin as the globally dominant digital currency network; Capitalists advocate for Bitcoin's deep integration into banks, enterprises, and capital markets; Technologists support cautiously advancing protocol upgrades to enhance scalability, security, and functionality; and Fundamentalists focus on self-custody, node operation, decentralization, and protocol immutability.Saylor believes that the four ideologies correspond to the four forces of "belief, adoption, innovation, and guardianship." The future of Bitcoin should not choose between purity and adoption rate, or innovation and stability, but should achieve balance through "disciplined expansion": maintaining the stability and decentralization of the underlying protocol while placing most innovations on top of layer two networks, custody, credit, and capital market infrastructure.

According to CoinDesk, Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Jean-David Péquignot stated that $60,000 is a key structural threshold for Bitcoin. Over the past year, a large amount of institutional funds (including ETF buyers, large holders, and short-term speculators) have bought Bitcoin in the $60,000 to $67,000 range. If the price continues to decline, unrealized losses will increase, and holding costs will rise, especially against the backdrop of rising AI stocks, which may prompt panic selling among investors. The open interest of put options with a strike price of $60,000 on Deribit has a notional value of over $1.2 billion.As Bitcoin approaches $60,000, market makers face Gamma risk from shorting put options and will be forced to sell spot or futures to balance their books, accelerating the decline. In addition, there is still excessive leveraged long positions in the system, and a drop below $60,000 could trigger more liquidations, creating a chain reaction.
