Dear Michael @saylor, you are most likely becoming the next victim of this market. I would start selling as much BTC as I could in your case. Bitcoin is now only 10% above your average BTC entry. Let me predict it straight, MSTR will most likely be sold to avoid liquidation.

The cryptocurrency market witnessed intense volatility on Monday, triggered by conflicting reports concerning U.S. tariffs under President Trump’s administration. Bitcoin shot up from $75,000 to over $81,000 before dropping back below $79,000. The marked volatility stemmed mainly from market speculations that the White House may put on hold tariff increases for 90 days. The confusion stems from statements made by President’s Economic Adviser Kevin Hassett. In an interview, Hassett gave an ambiguous hint about Trump that he might reduce tariffs, pointing to the possibility of some flexibility in negotiations. This statement boosted the confidence of financial markets, sending Bitcoin and other digital currencies to rally sharply. However, all these gains were short-lived when the White House dismissed these rumors, stating that it had no knowledge of any tariff pause. There was assurance that tariffs would indeed go through as planned on April 9th. In the same manner as Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies also fluctuated substantially. Ripple’s XRP token surged by nearly 10% to $2 before the pump was reversed. Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest of all cryptocurrencies, tumbled gradually down to around $1,545.77, which is 13.7% lower than the results that came immediately after Trump’s first announcement of the tariffs. Even the traditional markets exhibited similar erratic movements. Following Hassett’s comments, the S&P 500 rose 6% before quickly erasing its gain on the rejection of the White House tariff pause rumor. Collectively, Wall Street has declined by more than 11% since last Wednesday, which captures the worries of investors across the world. Crypto-related equities also suffered considerably. Coinbase Global Inc.(COIN) fell by as much as 4%, and MicroStrategy (MSTR), which holds a significant amount of Bitcoin, sank by 11%. Bitcoin mining stocks were hit even harder and dropped more than 10%, while hashprice, arguably key to mining profitability, declined to around $42.40. These market reactions suggest that investors are increasingly concerned about trade relations between the US and China. President Trump previously announced aggressive tariff measures, setting a 10% tariff across the board and higher tariffs selectively on China. In return, China levied a 34% tariff on imported US products, which recently made Trump threaten to apply tariffs of 104%. The People’s Daily pointed out that China had sufficient measures to respond to the tariff aggression and was fully prepared to confront the “US tariff bullying.” This commentary indicated that similar tensions had been addressed after years of experiencing pressure from Washington. Trump further asserted that there would be no deal with China unless the country sorts out the trade deficit problem in America. He added that the EU and Japan may experience more tariffs if they do not find a resolution to address the bilateral trade deficit. Trump’s tariff threats have already proven costly for cryptocurrency markets. Since the announcement was made last Wednesday, Bitcoin has been down by about 5.5% or $4,553. However, Ethereum saw a much sharper decline, which suggests that even more investors are being risk-averse in the altcoin space. Ripple has also been down by about 7.7% during the same duration, reflecting the general market sentiments. With tariffs starting tomorrow, April 9, analysts expect more volatility to happen.

Eric Weiss, founder and chief investment officer of Blockchain Investment Group, spoke out this week on social media platform X to highlight bitcoin’s potential as a resilient asset amid rising geopolitical instability and volatile financial markets. As global equities decline under the weight of trade tensions, Weiss pointed to the unique qualities of bitcoin, arguing it offers investors a mathematical alternative unburdened by traditional risks. He stated: As the tariff war escalates and stocks bleed, Wall Street will eventually realize there’s an alternative: bitcoin. No earnings risk. No geopolitics. Just math. The moment capital truly pivots, BTC doesn’t just hold up, it outperforms dramatically. Weiss also disputed the notion that bitcoin’s behavior mirrors the equity market, predicting a sharp break in correlation. “Bitcoin’s recent correlation with equities won’t last. A divergence is coming and it won’t be subtle,” he opined. His message reflects a broader view emerging among bitcoin advocates that the digital asset is maturing into an independent asset class, capable of acting as a hedge against systemic economic and political shocks. This sentiment was echoed by Michael Saylor, executive chairman of software intelligence firm Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), which recently rebranded as Strategy. On April 4, Saylor offered similar comments about bitcoin’s divergence from risk-on assets. “Bitcoin trades like a risk asset short term because it’s the most liquid, salable, 24/7 asset on Earth. In times of panic, traders sell what they can, not what they want to. Doesn’t mean it’s correlated long-term—just means it’s always available,” he explained. Weiss and Saylor, along with many others in the crypto industry, also drew attention to bitcoin’s insulation from protectionist trade policies, especially as President Donald Trump reimposed tariffs on a large number of countries. “There are no tariffs on bitcoin,” Weiss noted. The statement has become a rallying point for digital asset supporters who argue that bitcoin’s lack of borders and centralized control shields it from the types of economic constraints affecting traditional investments. Proponents argue that bitcoin’s design and independence make it increasingly appealing in a climate shaped by tariffs, trade wars, and monetary intervention. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Bitwise Asset Management has launched three active options strategy ETFs tracking crypto stocks: MicroStrategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN), and Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA). The ETFs are called IMST, ICOI, and IMRA, respectively. What’s interesting is that they all rely on a “covered call” strategy, a way to make money from stock volatility without having to constantly buy and sell like a day trader. More specifically, this strategy involves selling out-of-the-money call options while still holding the underlying stock. This strategy is to generate regular income while still being able to enjoy the upside of the stock, albeit not to its full potential. “Crypto is well known historically both for its performance and its high volatility,” said Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley. He added: “That volatility presents a unique opportunity to generate income. We’re thrilled to expand the Bitwise suite with IMST, ICOI, and IMRA to enable investors to capitalize on that volatility.” In other words, if people are usually afraid of the ups and downs of crypto asset prices, Bitwise actually sees it as a potential source of income. They don’t try to avoid it, but instead develop a strategy to ‘ride the wave.’ These new ETFs are managed by Jeff Park, Head of Alpha Strategy at Bitwise, and his team. They don’t just sit back. This portfolio is actively monitored, including by paying attention to market news, option prices, sentiment, and capital inflows. They adjust their strategy every time so that investors can still enjoy income while still being involved in the movement of crypto-related stocks. However, it is important to note that this ETF does not give you direct ownership of MSTR, COIN, or MARA shares. So, don’t expect to get dividends from these companies. And like any other strategy, “covered calls” also have risks. If the stock price falls too far, the income from the options may not be enough to cover the losses. On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Bitwise also recently launched the Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF. The ETF is designed to track the performance of public companies that hold at least 1,000 BTC on their balance sheets. Every quarter, the weighting allocation of companies in the ETF is adjusted to remain diversified, with a maximum limit of 20% per entity. So, no single company dominates. Furthermore, Bitwise showed its ambition by completing a $70 million fundraise on February 25, 2025. This funding was led by Electric Capital and followed by other big names such as MassMutual, Highland Capital, MIT Investment Management Company, and Haun Ventures. And as if that wasn’t enough, on March 6, 2025, Bitwise also made a breakthrough by entering the world of DeFi through a collaboration with Maple Finance , known as an on-chain credit specialist. Through this partnership, Bitwise began allocating funds to Bitcoin-based lending products.
