This week was a whirlwind of activity in the cryptocurrency world. From Bitcoin’s fluctuating fortunes to Strategy’s controversial sale, the past few days have been nothing short of eventful.
Let’s dive into the top stories that made headlines.

Strategy Inc. CEO Phong Le defended the company’s decision to sell roughly 7,000 Bitcoin near the market’s lows. Le called the sale “minuscule” and signaled that Strategy could keep buying even if Bitcoin reaches $100,000, $130,000 or higher.
