Bitcoin 31 December 2025 - 2 January 2026

Strategy Inc. increased its bitcoin holdings again, but its more significant move was selling common stock to rebuild its cash reserves. Its preferred shares (STRC) continue to trade below par as funding costs remain a concern. MARA Holdings saw its stock jump 12.8% to $16.04, outperforming both bitcoin and peers like Riot Platforms and CleanSpark, following the first full Nasdaq session after the Juneteenth holiday. Despite MARA’s rally, bitcoin ETF flows remained weak last week, with about $228 million leaving U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, marking the sixth consecutive week of outflows. Strategy Inc. bought $34.9 million in bitcoin last week, while its dollar reserves also grew. Earlier, bitcoin dropped 1.1% to $64,215 after the Federal Reserve kept rates steady but raised its year-end forecast to 3.8%. MARA shares have been volatile, with gains driven by its bitcoin reserves and upcoming catalysts such as the Long Ridge deal and its annual meeting. CleanSpark shares have faced pressure amid a broader tech and crypto selloff, while Riot Platforms is focusing on transitioning to an AI data-center landlord model, needing to prove its power and land deals can attract tenants. Notably, Strategy Inc. paused its bitcoin purchases ahead of Q1 earnings after accumulating over 100,000 tokens in three months. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley’s latest bitcoin fund attracted inflows even as BlackRock’s IBIT saw significant outflows, highlighting shifting investor sentiment and renewed focus on fees.
