Strategy and Bitmine Continue to Accumulate BTC and ETH

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">While institutional purchases in the crypto market continue unabated, two significant moves have been noted in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Strategy's recent Bitcoin purchase further increased the company's market share, while Bitmine's Ethereum holdings now encompass a significant portion of the supply. Strategy acquired an additional 13,927 <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin </a>for approximately $1 billion, with an average purchase price of $71,902. This latest transaction brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 780,897 BTC. The company's total investments to date reach $59.02 billion, with an average cost of $75,577.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-04-13-165833-65ecd0d2.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-04-13 165833.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This size makes Strategy by far the largest institutional Bitcoin investor. The amount of BTC held by the company represents approximately 3.8% of the total circulating supply. This percentage indicates a very high concentration compared to other publicly traded companies. The company's CEO, Michael Saylor, shared a noteworthy calculation regarding the sustainability of their Bitcoin strategy. Accordingly, Strategy's BTC holdings only need to appreciate by 2.05% annually to cover its preferred stock dividends. This rate is quite low compared to Bitcoin's historical performance.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strategy's financing model also stands out at this point. The company largely finances its Bitcoin purchases through a variable-rate preferred stock instrument. The income from this instrument, which offers an annual return of approximately 11.5%, is directly reinvested in new BTC purchases. Based on the current reserve level, it is calculated that dividend payments can be covered for approximately 48 years.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Purchases continue despite significant losses</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Despite this aggressive buying strategy, the company faces significant fluctuations in the short term. In the first quarter of 2026, Strategy's digital asset portfolio incurred approximately $14.5 billion in unrealized losses. The approximately 20% pullback in the Bitcoin price caused it to fall below the average cost. Nevertheless, the company's continued purchases indicate that its long-term outlook is maintained. Strategy also announced that it has achieved a 5.6% "BTC Yield" since the beginning of 2026. This metric stands out as one of the key indicators measuring the company's Bitcoin performance per share.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The company's purchasing pace has also outpaced the new supply in the market. While global miners produced approximately 16,200 BTC in March 2026, Strategy purchased over 46,000 Bitcoin during the same period. This situation brings the discussions about the supply-demand balance in the market back to the forefront.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">It is stated that Strategy's current funding capacity is over $57 billion. This indicates that similar large-scale purchases may continue in the coming period. Analysts estimate that if the current pace is maintained, the company could reach the 1 million BTC threshold towards the end of 2026.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bitmine also purchased ETH</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">On the other hand, a similar accumulation is also noticeable on the Ethereum side. With its latest purchase, Bitmine added another 71,524 ETH to its portfolio. Thus, the company's total Ethereum holdings reached 4,874,858 ETH. The average cost is stated as $2,206, which represents approximately 4.04% of the Ethereum supply.</p>

Sharp Turnaround in Crypto Funds: BTC, ETH, XRP, and LINK Stand Out

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Cryptocurrency investment products saw a strong rebound last week. According to CoinShares data, a total of $1.1 billion in inflows were recorded globally. This figure stands out as the strongest weekly performance seen since the beginning of the year.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This market recovery was influenced by lower-than-expected inflation data in the US and a relative easing of geopolitical tensions. CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill states that the increase in risk appetite has redirected investors back to crypto assets.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">While only $224 million in inflows were seen the previous week, the recent data shows a significant increase. Despite this, trading volumes still remain below the year-to-date average. Although weekly volume increased by 13 percent to $21 billion, it is still below the average of $31 billion since the beginning of the year. On the other hand, total assets under management (AUM) have returned to their highest levels since the beginning of February. </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bitcoin takes center stage again.</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The majority of capital inflows were concentrated in Bitcoin-focused products. <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin </a>funds, which recorded weekly inflows of $872 million, have brought their total inflows since the beginning of the year to approximately $2 billion. US-based spot ETF products appear to be particularly decisive in this picture. However, a cautious stance in the market has not completely disappeared. Short Bitcoin funds, or products based on open positions, had their strongest week since November 2024 with inflows of $20.2 million. In other words, investors are maintaining their hedging positions despite the rise. </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Mixed outlook in altcoins</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Ethereum experienced a remarkable recovery. Ethereum investment products saw weekly inflows of $196.5 million. However, it is still in net outflow territory for the year as a whole.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Looking at other altcoins, the picture is more balanced and sometimes weaker. XRP funds recorded inflows of $19.3 million, while multi-asset products saw a limited increase of $3 million. In contrast, Solana funds saw a noticeable outflow of $2.5 million.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/1-87z04v1csquq1kasegetww-863cb2e7.webp" alt="1_87Z04v1CSQUQ1KaSeGEtww.webp" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Sui experienced outflows of approximately $2.4 million, while Litecoin saw a limited decline. In contrast, Chainlink attracted a small but positive inflow of $1.3 million. Multi-asset products and other categories continued to show low-volume but positive flows. </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">US influence is significant</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">When the regional distribution is examined, it is seen that capital inflows largely originated from the US. The US alone accounted for approximately 95% of total flows with $1.065 billion inflows. Thus, we see that a large part of institutional demand is still from the US.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">On the European side, there is a more limited but positive picture. Germany stands out with $34.6 million inflows, while Canada and Switzerland recorded inflows of $7.8 million and $6.9 million respectively. Inflows remained quite limited in other countries.</p>

US-Iran Tensions Escalate: Bitcoin Pulls Back

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">The cryptocurrency market entered the weekend under geopolitical pressure. The failure of talks between the US and Iran, followed by military actions, created a cautious atmosphere among investors. As a result of these developments, major crypto assets, especially Bitcoin, saw a decline. </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">The Strait of Hormuz decision triggered sell-offs in the market</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The talks on Sunday lasted approximately 21 hours, but the parties could not reach a common ground. The US side stated that Iran did not approach the conditions offered. Iranian media, on the other hand, wrote that the process was stalled due to US demands. The mutual statements weakened the possibility of an agreement in the short term.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Following the talks, US President Donald Trump's order to impose a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz accelerated the sell-off in the market. The increase in tension in this region, which is critical for global energy flow, led to an exit from risky assets. The possibility of a wider tension in the Middle East was quickly reflected in pricing.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "><a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin </a>fell by approximately 1.18 percent in the last 24 hours, dropping to $70,776 and approaching the $70,000 mark during the day. Ethereum fell 1.41% to trade around $2,183, while XRP dropped 0.52% to $1.32. Solana declined 0.62% to $81.8, while Dogecoin's loss was limited to 0.30%, stabilizing around $0.09. TRON also saw a slight decrease of 0.09%, remaining at $0.32. Cardano lost 0.88%, falling to $0.23. On the other hand, BNB rose 0.39% to over $597, while Hyperliquid (HYPE) increased 1.58% to $41.4. </p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/image-39627101.webp" alt="image.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The sharp rise in oil prices has brought inflation expectations back into focus. Following developments around the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude rose above $100. This supported the expectation that tight monetary policies may continue for a longer period in global markets. A similar picture was observed in traditional markets. Selling pressure dominated US stock markets at the beginning of the week. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices fell by approximately 1 percent, while losses were even higher on the Nasdaq. Investors' risk aversion became more pronounced. Despite this, a lasting sense of weakness has not yet emerged across the entire market. Institutional interest continues. Inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, in particular, remain noteworthy. Strong capital flows into these products were observed last week.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 min-h-[1.5em]"></p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">In the coming days, the course of geopolitical developments will be decisive. Tensions between the US and Iran and volatility in energy markets will continue to shape the direction of the cryptocurrency market.</p>

Polkadot-Linked Bridge Hack: 1 Billion DOT Tokens Minted

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">A security vulnerability in the crypto market has emerged, this time through the Hyperbridge infrastructure. A flaw in the system that enables asset transfers between Ethereum and other blockchains allowed an attacker to generate tokens with a theoretical value of billions of dollars. However, the profit obtained was far below expectations.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">1 billion DOT generated</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">In the incident that occurred on Sunday, the attacker targeted the verification process in Hyperbridge's gateway contract on Ethereum. Thanks to this vulnerability, 1 billion bridged Polkadot (DOT) tokens were generated. Although this amount corresponds to a value of approximately $1.19 billion on paper, the amount the attacker received after the sale was only about $237,000. The attack targeted the bridge mechanism, not the Polkadot network itself. Therefore, Polkadot's mainnet and native DOT token were not affected. The problem arose in the verification phase of cross-chain messages. Normally, the validity of these messages is confirmed with strong cryptographic proofs. However, it was understood that the verification method used here could be bypassed in a specific scenario.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/89c2a357868c4c1bbec1379e2114062d2b6f37e4-1169x267-2d2c9da1.webp" alt="89c2a357868c4c1bbec1379e2114062d2b6f37e4-1169x267.avif" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> <figcaption class="mt-2 mb-6 text-center text-sm text-gray-500">Source: CoinDesk</figcaption> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to on-chain data, the attacker sent a forged message via the "dispatchIncoming" function in the system. This message was routed to the TokenGateway contract and processed without passing the necessary checks. Specifically, it was found that a zero-value record was kept in the "receipt" check, which should have verified the message's validity. This indicates that the verification process was either incomplete or completely disabled in a particular call path. With the acceptance of the forged message, the attacker gained administrator privileges in the relevant token contract. From this point, the process proceeded very quickly. 1 billion tokens were minted in a single transaction, and then these assets were released into the market through various transactions. Sales were primarily conducted in the DOT-ETH liquidity pool on Uniswap. As a result of sales in multiple transactions, a total of approximately 108 ETH was obtained.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Token price declined</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">However, the most critical part of the attack emerged here. The extremely limited bridged <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/dot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">DOT </a>liquidity on Ethereum caused the sales to put severe pressure on the price. The market couldn't handle such a large supply, and the token price plummeted. As a result, the attacker earned a relatively small amount of money despite having the massive amount.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Security experts point out that such vulnerabilities pose even greater risks, especially in bridge systems. Because bridges have high authority over token contracts on the target chain, even a single error in the verification mechanism can lead to unlimited token production. The main reason the damage was limited in this case was the lack of liquidity. In other words, a similar vulnerability in deeper markets or assets with higher trading volumes could cause much larger losses. There has been no official statement from Hyperbridge yet. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether other tokens using the same gateway infrastructure pose a similar risk.</p>

Trump-Linked WLFI Drains Its Own Pool: The Risk Debate Continues

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">World Liberty Financial (<a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/wlfi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">WLFI</a>), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project linked to the Trump family, has issued a strong response to recent criticism regarding increased liquidation and "bad debt" risks in the market. The project team characterized claims that their high borrowing position on the Dolomite protocol is risky as "FUD" (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), defending the sustainability of the current structure. In a statement, WLFI emphasized that the platform is "never close" to liquidation risk. The team stated that they could provide additional collateral even if market conditions were to turn against them. Project officials noted that this approach is a common mechanism in DeFi protocols and that this is how the system works.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-04-10-162817-c438c9cf.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-04-10 162817.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">However, on-chain data points to a more complex picture. According to the blockchain analytics platform Arkham, WLFI borrowed approximately $75 million worth of stablecoins on Dolomite, using around 5 billion WLFI tokens as collateral. It was noteworthy that a significant portion of this debt, approximately $40 million, was transferred to Coinbase Prime wallets. This move led to speculation that the funds may have been used for fiat conversion or over-the-counter (OTC) transactions.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Concentration risk discussed in the protocol</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">WLFI's position on Dolomite is in the spotlight not only because of the size of its debt but also because of its weight within the protocol. According to data, WLFI represents approximately 55% of the total value locked (TVL) on the platform. In addition, the usage rate in the USD1 pool exceeding 93% indicates a liquidity crunch that could make it difficult for other users to withdraw their funds.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Some DeFi researchers and analysts argue that such a concentration could pose a systemic risk. In particular, it is stated that a sharp drop in the price of the WLFI token could make it difficult to liquidate the collateral, leading to significant losses for lending users. Using a low-liquidity asset as collateral on this scale is cited as a factor that could further increase the risk.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">WLFI, however, offers a different perspective against these criticisms. The project states that it positions itself as an "anchor borrower," meaning the main borrower in the protocol, thereby generating higher returns for other users. The team argues that this model strengthens the Dolomite ecosystem.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Token buybacks and new plans on the agenda</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to data shared by the project, WLFI has repurchased 435.3 million tokens in the last six months at an average price of $0.1507. The total value of these transactions is approximately $65.58 million. It was also announced that the annualized revenue of the USD1 stablecoin has reached $159.5 million. On the other hand, WLFI is preparing to introduce a governance proposal next week that will be of great interest to early-stage investors. </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This proposal is expected to involve a vote on a plan to gradually unlock WLFI tokens, which are currently largely locked. The project states that not all tokens will be released at once, but instead a long-term, phased vesting model will be implemented. According to Tokenomist data, only 24.67% of the total 100 billion supply is in circulation. The remaining 75% consists of tokens that are locked or planned to be unlocked in the future. This situation has created dissatisfaction among early investors regarding access to liquidity. It has even been suggested that some investors are considering legal action.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-04-10-162940-9f020f47.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-04-10 162940.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p>
