Bitcoin (BTC) registered a marginal decline during the ongoing session as it remained pinned under the 20-day SMA. The flagship cryptocurrency has started the new month shrouded in uncertainty, with market watchers unsure where the market will head. BTC had plunged to an intraday low of $103,734 on Monday before rebounding to reclaim $105,000 and move to its current level of $105,980. Strategy To Raise $250M To Buy More Bitcoin Michael Saylor’s Strategy plans to raise $250 million through an initial public offering of a new class of perpetual preferred stock to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. The company will issue 2.5 million shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock at $100 per share. Proceeds from the raise will be used to fund future Bitcoin purchases and provide working capital. Perpetual preferred stocks pay fixed dividends indefinitely with no maturity date and typically get priority over common stock in payouts. Strategy released a statement announcing its decision, “Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR; STRK; STRF) today announced that subject to market and other conditions, it intends to conduct an initial public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), of 2,500,000 shares of Strategy’s 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD). Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital.” The offering gives Strategy a new avenue to raise funds for Bitcoin purchases. The company primarily funded Bitcoin acquisitions through common stock and convertible note offerings. Strategy has become the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder with 580,955 BTC worth over $67.7 billion. The $250 million from its latest offering will allow the firm to purchase 2,351.8 BTC at current prices. 21Shares Announces Share Split For Spot Bitcoin ETF 21Shares has announced a 3-for-1 share split for its flagship ARK 21Shares spot Bitcoin ETF, ARKB.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) is marginally up during the ongoing session as it struggles to cross the 20-day SMA. The flagship cryptocurrency faces rejection around the $105,000 level, with subdued price action indicating risk-off sentiment. Markets are jittery thanks to renewed trade tensions between the US and China, geopolitical tensions, and continuous outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. Risk-on sentiment took a beating as tensions escalated in the Middle East after Israeli soldiers opened fire on people who strayed from a designated route to a food distribution site. Apart from escalating tensions in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war has also seen an increase in hostilities. Institutional demand has also weakened, with data from SoSoValue highlighting outflows of $267 million from spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday. While the outflows are relatively lower compared to February, an increase could lead to a substantial decline in BTC’s price. Despite trading in positive territory, markets remain cautious, expecting more geopolitical volatility. According to the Kobeissi Letter, markets are pricing out the Ukraine-Russia peace deal, stating, “This is effectively the market pricing out the Russia-Ukraine peace deal that President Trump has been working on for 3+ months. However, we have yet to receive a single comment from the US or President Trump. Clearly, something is going on behind the scenes. How will the US respond?” BTC registered a sharp drop on Friday (May 23), falling nearly 4% to $107,356. Despite overwhelming selling pressure, BTC recovered over the weekend, rising 0.46% on Saturday and 1.16% on Sunday to reclaim $109,000 and settle at $109,103. The price continued to push higher on Monday, registering a marginal increase, but was back in the red on Tuesday, dropping 0.46% to $108,954. Sellers retained control on Wednesday as BTC fell 1.03% to $107,834. Source: TradingView Selling pressure intensified on Thursday as BTC fell over 2%, slipping below the 20-day SMA and settling at $105,662. Price action remained bearish on Friday as BTC fell 1.51%, falling below $105,000 and settling at $104,067. BTC recovered over the weekend, rising 0.69% on Saturday and nearly 1% on Sunday to reclaim $105,000 and settle at $105,775. BTC fell to an intraday low of $103,734 on Monday as selling pressure returned. However, it rebounded from this level to register a marginal increase and settle at $105,903. The current session sees BTC up almost 1%, trading around $106,743, as buyers look to build momentum and push towards $110,000. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

On June 2, 2025, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a net outflow of $268 million. This development was recorded as the third consecutive day of outflows from Bitcoin ETFs. Bitcoin Spot ETFs Continue Three-Day Streak of Highs, Ethereum ETFs Continue 11-Day Streak of Highs On the other hand, the picture is moving in the opposite direction for Ethereum spot ETFs. Ethereum ETFs, which recorded a net inflow of $78.17 million on the same day, recorded an inflow for the 11th day in a row. This shows that investors' interest in Ethereum continues and that it has caught a different momentum than Bitcoin. In the crypto market, ETFs play an important role in the buying and selling preferences of institutional investors, especially after receiving approval in the US. While outflows on the Bitcoin side are interpreted as a sign of profit taking or market uncertainty, uninterrupted inflows on the Ethereum side are associated with confidence in the network’s upgrades and potential use cases. This divergence between the two major cryptocurrencies in terms of investor interest could lead to further strategic repositioning in the coming days. *This is not investment advice.
