Bit Digital (BTBT) Boosts Ethereum Holdings to 158K ETH with $20M Buy

Bit Digital (NASDAQ: BTBT) has ramped up its Ethereum holdings with a $20 million purchase, adding 8,568 ETH to its treasury at an average price of $2,334.25 per token. This acquisition, made on May 11, 2026, pushes the companys total ETH reserves to 158,462 ETH—surpassing Coinbase Global to become the fourth-largest public corporate Ethereum holder, according to CoinGecko data.  The move reflects Bit Digital‘s ongoing pivot toward an Ethereum-centric strategy. CEO Sam Tabar emphasized that the purchase lowered the firm’s average acquisition cost and aligns with its broader objectives to increase net asset value per share through Ethereum accumulation, AI infrastructure investments, and strategic acquisitions. The company operates across Ethereum treasury management, AI/high-performance computing (HPC), and other blockchain-related ventures.  Bit Digital‘s Ethereum holdings now outpace Coinbase Global’s 151,175 ETH, signaling aggressive positioning in the race for on-chain dominance among public companies. While BitMine Immersion Technologies leads with over 5.39 million ETH, Bit Digitals latest purchase cements its position among top-tier Ethereum treasury holders.  Market Context and Performance  The timing of Bit Digital‘s purchase is noteworthy. Ethereum (ETH) was trading around $2,006.61 as of May 29, 2026, down roughly 60% from its August 2025 all-time high of $4,946. Despite the price weakness, Ethereum’s network fundamentals

$1.5 Million Wiped Out as Hyperliquids SpaceX Pre-Market Perpetual Flash Crashes 45%

Tech  $1.5 Million Wiped Out as Hyperliquids SpaceX Pre-Market Perpetual Flash Crashes 45%  Bitcoin Ethereum News  Onchain Data Shows Severe Vacuum in Pre-Market Contract  SPACEX-USDH, a synthetic pre-market asset, plunged from an opening price of $2,277 down to a low of $1,254 within a 30-minute window, representing a nearly 45% collapse. The contract eventually recovered to trade near $2,157, but the brief liquidity vacuum triggered cascading liquidations across the decentralized trading platforms order books.  Image source: X  The sharp drawdown wiped out 1,393 leveraged positions across 405 individual users, resulting in a total notional loss of exactly $1.51 million. Market analysts noted that the median margin of the liquidated positions was only $31, indicating that the market was heavily skewed toward high- leverage retail participants.  The SPACEX-USDH contract behaves as a synthetic perpetual tied to the implied market valuation of the aerospace company SpaceX. Because SpaceX remains a private entity with an initial public offering expected around June 11, there is no publicly available price benchmark for the asset.  The market was built using Hyperliquid‘s HIP-3 architecture by a venue called Ventuals, which allows independent builders to construct pre-markets for private equities using the exchange’s core matching engine.

Solana, Sui and Aptos wallet data targeted in TrapDoor package attack

A new crypto-theft campaign is targeting the developers most likely to have wallet keys, cloud credentials and production access sitting on their machines.  Researchers at security firm Socket said earlier this week they identified a supply-chain attack called TrapDoor spread across three major open-source programming registries, with more than 34 malicious packages and hundreds of related versions and artifacts.  A key takeaway is that attackers are becoming more focused. In addition to social engineering, which targets individuals holding key information, supply-chain attacks are built not to catch random retail users but developers. Those are the very people who may have wallet files, SSH keys, GitHub tokens, cloud credentials and production access on the same machine they use to build crypto and AI tools.  Socket did not identify victims or stolen funds, but said the packages were live across npm, PyPI and Crates.io and contained payloads that could steal wallet data, exfiltrate credentials, test AWS and GitHub tokens and leave behind files to keep access active.  The packages programmed in JavaScript, Python and Rust were disguised as developer helpers, security scanners, wallet tools, Solidity utilities, AI prompt packages and Sui or Move build helpers.  Boring by design  The names were boring by design. Packages were named “wallet-security-checker,”

STRC slips below par as Strategys (MSTR) cash reserves face growing scrutiny

Strategys perpetual preferred security, Stretch (STRC), fell as low as $97.11 on Thursday as bitcoin slipped to the $73,000 mark.  STRC tends to face selling pressure during bitcoin drawdowns and in the days immediately following its ex-dividend date, as seen on Nov. 20 and Feb. 5. The ex-dividend effect typically results in a price adjustment reflecting the value of the dividend, while periods of bitcoin weakness can reduce investor appetite for Strategy-related securities. Together, these factors have historically created short-term pressure on STRCs market price.  The company has structured STRC to trade near its $100 par value, as maintaining that level enables Strategy to continue issuing shares through its at-the-market (ATM) program and raise additional capital efficiently.  Strategy repurchased $1.5 billion of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 recently, reducing its overall debt burden. However, the buyback was funded using cash from the company‘s U.S. dollar reserve. Strategy’s cash balance declined from approximately $2.25 billion to $871 million as a result.  Based on the companys current annual preferred dividend obligations of roughly $1.7 billion, the remaining cash reserve now provides only about six months of coverage but was initially implemented to cover the dividend obligations for 24 months.  Executive Chairman Michael Saylor discussed several

SOL’s 30% Open Interest Drop Puts $68 Back In Focus

Tech  SOLs 30% Open Interest Drop Puts $68 Back In Focus  Bitcoin Ethereum News  Solana (SOL) futures dropped sharply in May as traders reduced leveraged exposure across all exchanges. SOL open interest (OI) dropped to $1.90 billion on Thursday from $2.75 billion on May 11, a 30% decline, while funding rates remained close to neutral. The combination points to weakening investor sentiment as SOL eyes a retest of its yearly low at $68.  SOL spot demand offsets futures market weakness  The aggregated funding rate for Solana futures held near -0.005, showing balanced positioning between longs and shorts. SOL traders have not built aggressive directional bets despite the recent price slide to $80.  At the same time, the aggregated futures volume cumulative volume delta (CVD) for stablecoin-margined orders fell to a yearly low of -$13 billion. The CVD tracks whether buyers or sellers are more active over time. The decline signals stronger sell-side pressure in futures markets through May.  However, spot activity paints a steadier picture. Spot CVD has improved to $350 million since March, showing that buyers have continued to absorb supply on spot exchanges even as derivatives positioning has weakened.  The positive flows into spot SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to that trend. The monthly net inflows reached

IOTA rockets 14% as whales accumulate - Perps back the move

IOTA has posted a 14% gain, and the conditions supporting further upside remain clearly intact in the near term.  Spot activity, whale involvement, and perpetual market funding are all aligning to set IOTA up for a continued run in the market, and the convergence of these signals makes the current setup worth paying close attention to.  Whale delta holds positive as Spot buyers accumulate  Whale involvement in the IOTA market has been running high, with the whale-versus-retail delta maintaining a positive reading of 0.341 in the market.  A positive reading in this metric signals that there is ongoing net whale accumulation outpacing retail involvement in the market.  This trend has been strengthening since the 22nd of May, and given that whales are known to control a significantly larger portion of market liquidity compared to retail traders, their sustained accumulation carries meaningful implications for where price heads next.  Source: CoinGlass  The Spot market has reinforced this picture with rising buying activity over the past two days, with accumulation growing significantly within that period.  Spot netflow data shows net buying has reached approximately $232,000, as traders continue to show clear interest in IOTA and accumulate more of the asset.  While this figure remains modest on its own, the tendency for the

Kalshi follows CFTC in suing Minnesota over its law criminalizing prediction markets

Prediction market Kalshi filed a federal lawsuit against a Minnesota bill to criminalize operating, hosting or promoting such a platform in the state starting Aug. 1.  The filing follows a motion filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on May 19, the day after the law was signed by Governor Tim Walz, arguing that the legislation violated the U.S. Constitution by criminalizing at the state level the operation of prediction markets governed by federal regulators.  In its filing, Kalshi claimed the law violates the Supremacy Clause of the constitution, which says the federal Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) grants the CFTC “exclusive jurisdiction” over derivatives and swaps traded on designated contract markets (DCMs).  The platform also challenged a provision that criminalizes the marketing or advertising of prediction markets, saying it violated the First Amendment.  On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said it was critically important that the CFTC maintain sole authority over prediction markets, echoing CFTC Chair Michael Seligl.  Kalshi has recently won similar preliminary injunctions against enforcement attempts in New Jersey and Arizona.  Prediction markets are facing challenges outside the U.S. and in the past week have been banned in countries including Indonesia, Spain and India.  The U.S. government is conducting a probe into prediction markets,
