Although there have been no turning points for the cryptosphere in recent days, it has been filled with many other interesting and important news, from which we have selected the top 5 best, especially for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"rare-physical-bitcoin-coin-fetches-91500-at-auction\">Rare physical Bitcoin coin fetches $91,500 at auction\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>A rare physical Bitcoin loaded with an unclaimed 1 BTC has been sold for $91,500 at a recent auction, highlighting the growing demand for early crypto collectibles. These coins contain a concealed private key beneath a security hologram, allowing the owner to redeem the Bitcoin. However, removing the seal permanently reduces the coin's collectible value.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With only 8,352 of these brass coins ever produced, they have become highly sought-after among collectors. The same auction also featured a physical coin holding 0.5 BTC, which sold for more than $34,000. Only 900 examples of that edition were created, making it another exceptionally scarce item.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"strategy-cuts-bitcoin-holdings-with-105-million-sale\">Strategy cuts Bitcoin holdings with $105 million sale\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Strategy has reduced its Bitcoin position after selling 1,638 BTC for approximately $105 million. Following the transaction, the company's total holdings now stand at 842,138 BTC.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to the company, the proceeds were directed toward meeting financial obligations related to its preferred stock while also supporting the repurchase of STRC shares. The move reflects Strategy's ongoing effort to balance corporate financing with its long-term Bitcoin investment strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"coldcard-security-incident-triggers-surge-in-small-bitcoin-transfers\">Coldcard security incident triggers surge in small Bitcoin transfers\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>A suspected security breach involving Coldcard wallets has prompted Bitcoin holders to move funds at a pace not seen since the collapse of FTX. Nearly 39,600 BTC was transferred in transactions below 1 BTC, marking one of the largest spikes in small wallet activity in recent years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Researchers say the attack is still unfolding, with estimated losses exceeding 1,300 BTC across thousands of affected addresses. The incident has reignited discussion across the crypto industry about self-custody, with some viewing it as proof of its resilience, while others argue that professionally managed custody solutions may offer stronger protection for everyday users.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"gold-climbs-as-bitcoin-stalls-despite-strong-stock-market\">Gold climbs as Bitcoin stalls despite strong stock market\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Gold extended its rally to a six-week high as rising demand from Chinese investors continued to support prices. At the same time, US equities pushed to fresh record levels, with the S&P 500 maintaining its upward momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bitcoin, however, remained largely unchanged around the $64,000 level, failing to benefit from the broader strength across financial markets. Analysts suggest that stronger ETF inflows, easing bond yields, and a more supportive interest rate outlook may be needed before the cryptocurrency can regain sustained upward momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"trump-media-moves-165-million-in-bitcoin-to-crypto-exchange\">Trump media moves $165 million In Bitcoin to crypto exchange\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Addresses linked to Trump Media & Technology Group have transferred approximately 2,628 BTC, valued at around $165 million, to the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. While such transfers often raise speculation about a potential sale, the purpose of the transaction has not been confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The company is believed to have accumulated more than 11,500 BTC and continues to hold over 4,200 BTC after previous transfers earlier this year. Despite significant unrealized losses on its Bitcoin position, the latest movement alone does not provide clear evidence that the assets have been sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fexchange.pointpay.io\u002Ftrade\u002FPXP\u002FUSDT\">\u003Cu>Happy trading at PointPay!\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🔥 Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3UhCgZn\">\u003Cu>http:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3UhCgZn\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🔥 Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3JEreHu\">\u003Cu>https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3JEreHu\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🔥 Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3qJrjRH\">\u003Cu>https:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F3qJrjRH\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>💰 Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fexchange.pointpay.io\u002Fstaking\">\u003Cu>staking\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>📖 Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.abcmoney.co.uk\u002F2026\u002F01\u002Fvladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality\u002F\">\u003Cu>https:\u002F\u002Fwww.abcmoney.co.uk\u002F2026\u002F01\u002Fvladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality\u002F\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>🏦 PointPay - all crypto services in one place!\u003C\u002Fp>",[9],{"metaTitle":10,"metaDescription":11,"canonicalUrl":20,"og":25,"twitter":26,"publishedTime":15,"modifiedTime":15},{"title":10,"description":11,"image":14},{"title":10,"description":11,"image":14},[],1793989640196]
