MicroStrategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor suggested that the United States might purchase one million Bitcoin for its strategic reserves. His remarks came during an interview with FOX Business ahead of Friday’s White House Crypto Summit, to be hosted by US President Donald Trump. Saylor, whose company is widely known for its significant Bitcoin holdings, confirmed that MicroStrategy owns approximately 500,000 of the digital tokens, accounting for “about 2.4% of the worldwide supply.” He is one of several crypto-industry figures expected to join the presidential roundtable that will advise the administration on digital asset policy. Will Trump Buy 1 Million Bitcoin? When asked how the government would finance such a large crypto reserve, Saylor pointed to a deliberate, multi-year timeline, referencing a “six-month process” set out by the recent executive order. He added: “There are 12 members on the presidential working committee. There’ll be involvement from the industry. There’ll be involvement from the Senate and from the house and I and it’s above my pay grade to decide how it is determined.” Related Reading: Bitcoin’s ‘KISS Of Death’? Arthur Hayes Warns Of Recession Before Surge According to Saylor, “the longest bill [by Senator Lummis] has laid out the idea of acquiring Bitcoin strategically over four years, just consistently day by day in order to reach a million Bitcoin target.” Currently, the US government is believed to hold 200,000 BTC—worth an estimated $17 billion at today’s prices. Should it proceed with additional large-scale purchasing, the effect on the price of Bitcoin could be considerable. However, Saylor argued that the most “responsible” approach would be “to go slow and steady and deliberate with clear telegraphing and transparency” rather than making abrupt acquisitions that could roil the market. Central to Saylor’s stance is the classification of Bitcoin as “digital property,” an asset without a central issuer. “The real key about Bitcoin is for people to understand that it’s a digital property. It’s a savings account that empowers every single American to save their wealth and preserve it over time,” Saylor explained. He emphasized that if the US government provides clarity around this status, it could instill greater confidence in citizens to consider cryptocurrencies a legitimate savings vehicle.

In discussing whether taxpayer money should be used to purchase Bitcoin, Saylor drew a distinction between different digital assets. While Bitcoin (as a “digital commodity”) is, in his view, well-suited for strategic reserves, he also acknowledged the importance of digital currencies (stablecoins), tokenized securities (for capital efficiency), and token-based utility projects. Nevertheless, he singled out Bitcoin as the prime candidate for a national reserve, calling it “the one universally agreed-upon foundational asset in the entire crypto economy.” ???????? MICHAEL SAYLOR HINTS THE USA WILL BUY 1 MILLION #BITCOIN FOR ITS RESERVE ???? IT’S HAPPENING ???? pic.twitter.com/jr73piPfNY — Vivek⚡️ (@Vivek4real_) March 5, 2025 Saylor also addressed skeptics who question the rationale for a national Bitcoin reserve compared to more traditional strategic reserves such as oil or medical supplies. He compared Bitcoin to property, invoking a historical analogy: “We bought 75% of this nation with about 40 million dollars […] We bought Louisiana. We bought California. We bought Texas. We bought Alaska. It’s property. If you think of Bitcoin as property in cyberspace and you say where is all the money in the world headed? Well, it’s headed from foreign countries […] It wants to go from the physical world to the digital world.” For those concerned about the fundamental ethos of Bitcoin as a decentralized asset with no government involvement, Saylor insisted that official adoption need not contradict the cryptocurrency’s original design. “Satoshi gave us a process, a protocol for prosperity. That’s what we call Bitcoin,” he said. While early adopters may have favored minimal regulation, Saylor believes nation-states “interested in economic empowerment and prosperity” will inevitably follow individuals and corporations into the digital domain. At press time, BTC traded at $91,725. Featured image from YouTube, chart from TradingView.com

Stellar (XLM) is attempting to reclaim a recently lost level that could propel the price to a retest of a key resistance zone. Some market watchers suggested that its price could be preparing for a massive surge to a new all-time high (ATH). Related Reading: Cardano 125% Pump Coming? Analyst Says ADA ‘Could Be Poised’ For Rally To $2.20 Stellar Getting Ready For 300% Breakout Stellar has seen a 9% surge in the past day, recovering from this week’s market dump and rallying to the $0.30 mark again. According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Stellar could witness a 300% breakout soon as the cryptocurrency appears to be forming a bullish pattern. After the November 2024 breakout, XLM started to form a bullish flag, with the 600% post-US election rally forming the pattern’s flagpole. Since then, Stellar has been consolidating between the $0.63 and $0.25 price range, forming the pattern’s flag. Since hitting its 3-year high in December, XLM has seen a 52% price decrease, failing to break above its downtrend line. During the February market retraces, the cryptocurrency retraced nearly 40% from its monthly opening, hitting its lowest price action since November. Over the weekend, Stellar followed the rest of the crypto market, fueled by US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a US Crypto Strategic Reserve comprised of “made in the USA” cryptocurrencies like XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL). XLM surged around 25% from the range’s lower levels to $0.37, retesting the $0.35 key resistance. The $0.32-$0-35 range has been a key zone for the cryptocurrency since the Q4 2024 breakout, serving as a crucial support level until turning into resistance in February. As the analyst pointed out, “A sustained break above the $0.42 resistance could trigger a bull run to $1.60.” Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency’s recent performance has failed to reclaim a key level in the mid-zone of its 3-month price range. XLM Following 2017’s Playbook? XLM failed to hold the $0.35 level amid the Monday market dump, retracing 20% and erasing the Sunday gains. Breaking above this resistance could send Stellar’s price to the bull flag’s upper range while failing to reclaim it could send the price to the pattern’s lower range between $0.20 and $0.23. On Tuesday, the cryptocurrency continued bleeding and retested its recent lows as support. XLM bounced from $0.27 above the $0.30 level on Wednesday morning, attempting to reclaim it. Technical Analyst Charting Guy highlighted that XLM’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) recently broke out of a 96-day downtrend “while price consolidated in the golden pocket with time capitulation getting to people.” Related Reading: Ethereum Price ‘Between Heaven And Hell’: $2,000 Level Retest Key For ETH’s Next Move He also noted that XLM’s bull flag “coincidentally targets” the 1.272 Fibonacci level at around $2.46. After its recent performance, the cryptocurrency appears to be following its 2017 pattern, which adds “more confluence to 1.272 fib target,” he explained. In Q4 2017, Stellar saw a similar price breakout, followed by a consolidation period within a bullish flag. XLM then broke out of this pattern and rose over 190% to ATH in early 2018. To the analyst, “Once we break above the top of the golden pocket, it’s game on.” At the time of writing, Stellar trades at $0.30, a 2.4% increase in the weekly timeframe.

The crypto markets have whipsawed following President Donald Trump’s unexpected announcement of a strategic crypto reserve over the weekend. Bitwise Asset Management’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Matt Hougan, contends that traders are overreacting to the proposed plan’s details and missing what could be a bullish development for digital assets. Late Sunday, President Trump revealed a United States government initiative to acquire and hold five different cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano—in a strategic reserve. Initially, the market response was emphatically positive: Bitcoin’s price surged from around $85,000 to $95,000. However, as Hougan notes in his latest investor memo, that initial optimism was short-lived. By Monday, the major crypto assets named in the announcement had surrendered their gains. Everyone Is Misjudging Trump’s Crypto Reserve Bitwise released its memo on March 4, titled “The Market Has This Wrong: Thoughts on Trump’s Strategic Crypto Reserve.” In it, Hougan points to overly narrow market interpretations as the principal cause behind the abrupt retracement. “The market is overthinking things. For all the flaws in the rollout, the reserve news is bullish.” Related Reading: Why Is The Crypto Market Down Today? He elaborates on why the proposal is not being greeted with lasting enthusiasm. A large part of the skepticism centers on the White House’s choice of five cryptocurrencies, which critics describe as an overly broad selection. In Hougan’s words: “The inclusion of speculative assets like Cardano feels more calculating than strategic.” Although the plan initially seemed like a vote of confidence from Washington, some crypto commentators—such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Castle Island Ventures Founder Nic Carter—have questioned the rationale behind broadening the reserve beyond Bitcoin. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley also weighed in shortly after the announcement, publicly expressing a preference for a more conservative, bitcoin-centric reserve. Despite this, Hougan’s memo argues that market participants may be failing to see the bigger picture. In the memo, Hougan outlines three major takeaways regarding the strategic reserve plan. Hougan suggests that President Trump’s first public draft often differs considerably from what eventually becomes policy. The reserve, he argues, might ultimately shift to a “bitcoin-only” approach or evolve to a more balanced composition following industry input. “Over the coming days, big names from the crypto industry will make their feelings felt about the reserve idea.” According to Hougan, the announcement further cements the perception of Bitcoin as a strategically important asset. He believes this could spur competing nations to follow suit, mirroring smaller-scale adoption already seen in El Salvador, Bhutan, and Abu Dhabi. “If you are Honduras, Mexico, or Guatemala, and you’re watching El Salvador and now the US acquire bitcoin, can you really afford to be at zero?” Related Reading: Crypto Market Shaken: Tariff War Hits ETH, XRP, And SOL Hard Hougan also points to the political calculus, suggesting that even a future administration with different views might not divest the reserve once it exists. He notes that the US has historically held onto strategic assets, such as gold, for extended periods. “We learned this in the last election, where the GOP’s courtship of crypto gained it many votes while Democratic hostility gained few. I suspect that any crypto that is purchased will be held for a very long time.” Despite the optimism, Hougan acknowledges the prospect that the pushback could become so intense that the reserve is either scaled down or scrapped. Critics say that including less-established assets alongside Bitcoin only muddies the waters and may undermine the legitimacy of the initiative. Hougan, however, believes that “the final reserve will be nearly entirely bitcoin, and it will be larger than people think.” He also underscores a broader point: The simple acknowledgment by the US government that crypto assets can be deemed “strategic” has potentially game-changing significance. In his view, such a designation could catalyze global adoption, spurring other countries to purchase crypto or ramp up holdings already in place. According to Hougan, Sunday’s announcement should be interpreted as bullish for digital assets—despite the complicated rollout and the resulting price swings. He warns that markets might be letting short-term controversies overshadow the bigger picture: “The US government declaring crypto assets ‘strategic’ is bullish. I think the market will eventually realize that.” As the White House prepares for a scheduled Crypto Summit this Friday—hosted by crypto czar David Sacks—industry voices will likely press for a more measured and possibly narrower reserve structure. Whether the final policy ultimately narrows to a bitcoin-focused plan or persists with multiple coins, Hougan believes it may still mark a meaningful step forward in the mainstream legitimization of crypto. The initial reaction may have been mixed, but, as he succinctly puts it, “after the dust settles, I suspect the final reserve will look pretty good.” At press time, BTC traded at $87,565.

The Bitcoin price action is showing strong bullish signals, as a rare Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern has just broken out and retested its neckline. This technical setup suggests that Bitcoin could be gearing up for a mega rally to $300,000 soon. Analyst Forecasts Bitcoin Price Reversal On Monday, crypto analyst Gert van Lagen took to X (formerly Twitter) to forecast an imminent Bitcoin price surge to $300,000. The analyst presented a detailed price chart depicting the formation of an Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern, showcasing its left shoulder, head, right shoulder, and neckline.  Related Reading: Bitcoin $166,000 Target Still In Play? The Extension That Determines Where Price Goes Next Based on his analysis on X, Lagen highlights that Bitcoin has successfully broken above the neckline of this technical pattern, confirming a possible bullish reversal. Specifically, the Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern is a classic technical indicator that signals a shift from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. The left shoulder of the pattern highlights a price decline followed by a temporary recovery. The head suggests a deep drop, marking the lowest point of the trend. The right shoulder indicates a smaller decline followed by a breakout above the neckline. Bitcoin broke above the pattern’s neckline around the $86,972 price point. Lagen has pointed out that a successful retest of this neckline could solidify Bitcoin’s bullish move. This is because, historically, once this pattern is confirmed, cryptocurrencies tend to witness significant upside momentum.  Based on the measured move of the Inverse Head and Shoulder, Lagen predicts that Bitcoin is on track to reach $300,000 this bull cycle. This would represent a whopping 258.4% increase from its current market price. The analyst also highlights a sell line between $340,000 and $380,000; here, traders are likely to exit or take profits.  Supporting this bullish outlook is a parabolic step-like formation on the Bitcoin price chart. Lagen revealed that this follows a series of formations from Base 1 to 4 before triggering an explosive price rally. Currently, Bitcoin has completed Base 3 and is entering its final parabolic phase. This technical formation aligns with the Elliott Wave theory that suggests that a strong Wave 5 could result in a significant price surge.  While the analyst is confident in his $300,000 Bitcoin price projection, he warns that it could be completely invalidated if BTC drops below $72,900 in the weekly timeframe. Furthermore, a break below this threshold could signal a deeper price correction and delay the rally. Update On BTC’s Price Analysis While analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s future outlook, the cryptocurrency experiences bearish momentum. In just 24 hours, Bitcoin lost virtually all the price gains it had accumulated since President Donald Trump announced plans for a crypto reserve. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flag Pole Pattern Puts Price At $120,000, Analyst Explains The Roadmap The cryptocurrency was trading above $92,000 the previous day. However, Bitcoin has been down 9.18% in the last 24 hours and a whopping 16% over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap. This severe price decline has pushed the value of Bitcoin down to $83,699 as of writing. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

On Sunday, Cardano (ADA) saw a massive 80% pump following the US President’s announcement of a “Crypto Strategic Reserve” that will include ADA. As the cryptocurrency retests its key support levels, some analysts believe it might be poised for a 125% rally from current levels. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Above Falling Wedge Pattern – Analyst Sets $0.43 Target Cardano Attempts Reclaiming $1 On March 2, US President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a “US Crypto Reserve” comprised of Cardano, XRP, and Solana (SOL), with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) at the heart of the strategic reserve. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump stated the strategic reserve would “elevate the critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration.” The announcement sent many cryptocurrencies into an end-of-week pump to reclaim some recently lost support levels. ADA has been in a downtrend since December when it hit its 3-year high of $1.32 but failed to hold the $1 support in mid-January. The February market retraces sent the cryptocurrency’s price below several key support zones, with the token hovering between the $0.60-$0.80 price range. Following Trump’s announcement, Cardano rose 60% in two hours, climbing from $0.64 to the $1 barrier for the first time in over a month. ADA continued its surge in the following hours, recovering over 80% from its Friday low of $0.58. On Sunday, ADA hit a two-month high of $1.17 before retracing over 20% to the key $0.90 support zone. Cardano investor Sebastian noted that the retest of the $0.92 level was “perfectly normal after such an insane move.” The investor suggested it could consolidate within the $0.90-$1.00 range for a few days before resuming its ascending trajectory. Moreover, he asserted that If ADA breaks above its December high, the token could likely see a new all-time high (ATH) soon. ADA’s New High Could Be Near Crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that Cardano “could be poised for a rally to $2.20.” According to the post, investors should “watch for a 12-hour candlestick close above $1.19” to confirm the bullish breakout and target an 84% jump from the breakout level. Martinez also highlighted that Cardano whales bought over 420 million ADA in the past 24 hours, which could signal strong sentiment from large-scale investors on the cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems affirmed that Cardano’s chart displays a “big power of 3 in the making.” This pattern divides the price cycle into three phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims Key Levels And Faces Resistance At $97K – Can It Break $100K This Week? The first phase consists of a consolidation near the recent high after a strong price performance. The second phase sees a token’s price falling below the accumulation phase’s support level and trades within a range below the recently lost zone. In the third phase, a strong price breakout occurs, with momentum building and participants entering the market. According to Sjuul, “the chart never lies,” and Cardano entered the distribution phase after Sunday’s pump, suggesting that ADA could retest December highs soon. As of this writing, ADA trades at $0.91, a 9.9% retrace in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Despite recovering from bearish lows following its recent uptick, a crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could undergo a further decline in its price to $1.5. The analyst has pinpointed a critical resistance level that XRP will need to hold lest it crashes to new lows and eradicates recent gains. Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.5 TradingView crypto analyst MadWhale has shared a new price analysis focusing on XRP’s future price potential. The analyst emphasized his strong track record of cryptocurrency trends, underscoring that he has accurately identified and hit all the gain targets.  Related Reading: XRP Price Pump To $3.35 On The Horizon With Bullish Cup And Handle Pattern Formation MadWhale predicts that the XRP price could crash below $1.9 to $1.5. The analyst revealed that XRP is currently in a downtrend and has been making lower highs and lower lows, indicating a bearish structure. According to his price chart, the cryptocurrency is also trading within a descending channel and fast approaching a key resistance level.  This critical resistance point at the $2 mark has been tagged as a psychological level where sellers are likely to emerge and trigger further downward pressure on the cryptocurrency. If a rejection occurs at this $2.00 resistance level, MadWhale highlights that the next support area and downside target will be around $1.90, representing a 17.62% value drop. If the resistance level fails completely and the $1.90 support level breaks, the TradingView crypto analyst has forecasted another major breakdown in the XRP price. He predicts that the cryptocurrency could experience a more profound decline of 35%, possibly dropping down to the next major support level at $1.5. This crash target aligns with the lower boundary of the descending channel in which XRP currently resides. MadWhale has revealed that the decline to $1.5 could serve as a pivotal point for price stabilization, hinting at a possible reversal in the cryptocurrency once bearish pressures wane. The analyst’s price chart also shows that XRP recently tested the upper boundary of the descending channel but faced a rejection near the resistance. The main daily resistance area for the XRP price is marked in red on the chart, suggesting that $2.6 is where selling pressure might occur. As of this writing, XRP is trading at $2.8, already significantly above MadWhale’s daily resistance area.  Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan Triggers Major XRP Price Surge After experiencing a significant price crash over the past few weeks, the XRP price seems to be recovering at an alarming pace. In just one day, the cryptocurrency saw a double-digit price surge, successfully reversing its previous downtrend. Related Reading: Pundit Who Correctly Predicted XRP Price Crash To $2.5 Says Demand Zone Will Send It Soaring Analysts have attributed this unexpected sharp surge to the recent United States (US) crypto reserve plan announced by Donald Trump. The US President had included XRP in his plans for a crypto reserve aimed at boosting the country’s debt strategy and crypto dominance. As news of this strategic plan spread, the XRP price saw a 24.5% increase, pushing its value significantly above the $2.5 threshold once again. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Earlier today, Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $80,000 for the first time in over three months. According to data from Binance, BTC hit a low of $78,258, filling the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap between $78,000 and $80,000. Bitcoin Fills CME Gap, Is It Time For Rebound? With today’s dip, BTC has now filled every CME gap since March 2024. At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency is trading in the low $80,000 range. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hits Its Most Oversold Level Since August 2024 – Is A Rebound Coming? For the uninitiated, the CME gap refers to the price difference that occurs on the CME Bitcoin futures chart between Friday’s closing price and Monday’s opening price, as CME does not trade on weekends. These gaps are often filled later as Bitcoin’s price naturally retraces to these levels, acting as key support or resistance zones. A new CME gap has now emerged due to the ongoing market sell-off, triggered by US President Donald Trump’s confirmation that trade tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico will take effect on March 4. According to crypto analyst Rekt Capital, the new CME gap lies between $92,800 and $94,000. If past data is anything to go by, this new CME gap may work as a price magnet, pulling BTC upward and initiating a bullish trend reversal. For example, back in January 2021, BTC filled a CME gap between $29,410 and $33,050. After filling the gap, BTC continued to dip further, before surging to as high as $40,000.  That said, macroeconomic and geopolitical factors remain significant. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) and Trump continue to clash over interest rate policies. While the Fed has maintained that it is in no rush to cut rates, Trump has repeatedly called for immediate reductions. However, positive inflation data could pressure the Fed to accelerate rate cuts. According to an X post by The Kobeissi Letter, January’s PCE inflation – the Fed’s preferred measure – aligned with its projection of 2.5%. Similarly, core inflation – which measures the change in consumer prices excluding volatile items like food and energy – was in-line with expectations of 2.6% as well. However, data from CME FedWatch suggests that the Fed is likely to keep interest rates unchanged at the March 19 FOMC meeting. Is The BTC Bottom In? Although BTC has fallen nearly 20% over the past month, some analysts believe further downside may still be ahead. A recent forecast from Standard Chartered suggests BTC could decline another 10% before finding support. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Showing Early Signs Of Bullish Divergence? Analyst Explains However, there are also signs that BTC may be forming a local bottom. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that sell-side pressure is easing, which could indicate that BTC is stabilizing. Additionally, the Cryptoasset Sentiment Index recently flashed a strong contrarian buy signal, further hinting at a potential price floor for BTC. At press time, BTC trades at $83,508, down 2.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, Charts from X and TradingView.com
