Yes, some authentic Epstein emails do mention Bitcoin — but that’s where the story ends.

These emails show Jeffrey Epstein commenting on Bitcoin as an outside observer, discussing regulatory confusion and sharing opinions with others. They do not show funding, creation, control, or insider involvement with Bitcoin in any way.

Other viral screenshots circulating online — claiming Epstein funded Bitcoin or used “Satoshi” as a pseudonym — are unauthenticated or outright fake and do not appear in any DOJ or court records.

Talking about Bitcoin ≠ building Bitcoin.
Donating to academia ≠ controlling the protocol.

Bitcoin was created in 2008, decentralized long before these emails, and remains independent of Epstein entirely.

Tom Lee–backed BitMine Immersion Technologies has reportedly purchased around $82 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) during a recent market dip, continuing its aggressive ETH accumulation strategy.

📊 Key Highlights:
• BitMine bought roughly 28,000+ ETH in the latest purchase.
• The company is now one of the largest corporate Ethereum holders globally.
• The firm has been consistently buying ETH despite market volatility.

📈 Why This Matters:
Institutional accumulation often signals long-term confidence in blockchain technology and Ethereum’s ecosystem. BitMine’s strategy focuses on Ethereum’s staking rewards, growing network activity, and increasing real-world tokenization use cases.

🏦 Big Picture:
BitMine currently holds millions of ETH, representing a noticeable percentage of the circulating supply. The company is also expanding its staking infrastructure to generate passive revenue from its holdings.

⚠️ Market Reality:
Large purchases don’t guarantee price increases. Crypto markets remain highly volatile and influenced by macroeconomic factors and market sentiment.

💡 What do you think?
Is institutional ETH accumulation bullish for the next cycle?

Strategy (MSTR) added to its bitcoin

holdings, but appears to have made all its purchases before the deep price plunge in the back half of the week.

Led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, the company added 1,142 bitcoin for $90 million, or an average price of $78,815 each. Strategy's stack now stands at 714,644 bitcoin purchased for $54.35 billion, or an average price of $76,056 each.
Bitcoin Monday morning is trading at just under $69,000, down 2.6% over the past 24 hours. MSTR shares are lower by 3.9%.

Last week's acquisitions were funded by the sale of common stock.

Given the average purchase price of $78,815, it appears Strategy made its buys on Monday or Tuesday last week, ahead of the rapid decline in bitcoin's price, which took the crypto to as low as $60,000 at one point on Thursday.

An unidentified Bitcoin holder sent 2.5 BTC, worth around $181,000, to the wallet tied to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous architect of Bitcoin who published the network’s foundational whitepaper in 2008 before vanishing from public view around 2011, according to data from Arkham Intelligence.
The transfer, which took place over the weekend, landed in the so-called genesis address, the very first wallet on the Bitcoin blockchain. Satoshi mined this address on January 3, 2009, when the network came online.
Funds routed to this historic wallet are effectively unreachable. Security researchers and blockchain analysts have long concluded that the private keys required to move coins from the address are either lost or were deliberately destroyed.
High-value tributes to the address are uncommon but not unprecedented. Throughout Bitcoin’s history, supporters have periodically sent small amounts to the wallet as a nod to the network’s origins.
Satoshi’s wallet currently holds 1.1 million Bitcoin, valued at around $77 billion at current market prices.
The creator of Bitcoin now ranks as the world’s 25th-wealthiest person, trailing Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaire rankings.
During the 2025 rally, Satoshi’s Bitcoin holdings surged to $129 billion, briefly overtaking Dell CEO Michael Dell.

Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff shared on social media platform X this week a series of posts criticizing bitcoin’s price behavior, recent market rallies, and corporate exposure tied to the crypto asset, while reinforcing his long-standing view that bitcoin represents a speculative excess rather than durable value.

“ Bear markets slide a slope of hope. That’s why the biggest daily moves in bear markets are usually up,” he said on Feb. 6. “Such sharp rallies create a false sense of optimism, keeping people in when they should be getting out.” Noting in another X post that “MSTR is up 25% today” and “ bitcoin is up 11%,” Schiff firmly advised:

“Sell the rip!”

In other posts shared Feb. 5, Schiff intensified his broader critique of BTC, writing: “The real story about bitcoin isn’t its 50% decline, but that the biggest financial mania in history is likely over. What’s most amazing is how the scheme’s promoters convinced the mainstream financial media, Wall Street banks, and elected government officials to embrace it.” He also questioned the durability of the downturn, stating:

“The amazing part about the bitcoin bear market is that the price is down almost 50% from its peak and there still hasn’t been a crash. There is no way this bear market will end without one.”

Schiff maintains that bitcoin is a speculative bubble backed by nothing, arguing it lacks the intrinsic value found in gold’s physical utility for electronics or jewelry. He views the crypto asset as a Greater Fool wealth transfer, where early adopters profit only if later buyers subsidize them. Throughout 2025, Schiff frequently pointed to bitcoin’s declining purchasing power relative to gold as evidence that the digital gold narrative has failed. He contends that bitcoin is a risk asset, not a safe haven, predicting that while a financial crisis birthed it in 2008, a similar crisis will eventually destroy it.

The economist further framed his outlook through comparisons with gold, writing in another post:

“ Bitcoin is about to trade below its Nov. 2021 high of $69,000. More significantly, measured in gold, bitcoin is now 60% lower than it was then. Saylor is down 9% on his $54 billion bitcoin bet, and MSTR’s losses are just beginning to pile up. HODLers, abandon a sinking ship!”$BTC
