#cryptolosses The crypto market is bleeding again, and this time the pressure is not coming from inside the blockchain world. It is coming from geopolitics, oil fears, fading institutional momentum, and a growing sense that global markets are entering another fragile phase. Bitcoin price slipped near $81,000 today while the total crypto market cap dropped to nearly $2.67 trillion. Traders searching “Why is BTC falling?” and “Will Bitcoin price go up today?” are watching one critical reality unfold: crypto is behaving more like a global risk asset than a safe haven.
$BTC Bitcoin remains trapped inside a narrowing ascending channel after failing to break higher above key resistance. That rejection came exactly when market optimism started weakening after U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly rejected Iran’s peace proposal, escalating fears surrounding Middle East instability and the Strait of Hormuz oil route. Investors suddenly shifted toward caution instead of risk-taking.
The broader crypto market decline now reflects something deeper than a normal correction. Volume is fading while fear is quietly returning. The setup matters because crypto rallies rarely survive when participation weakens. Even traditional markets showed hesitation, with the S&P 500 closing mostly flat despite several bullish economic expectations earlier this month
For many investors, the bigger concern is psychological. Bitcoin has not collapsed, but it also cannot reclaim momentum. That creates uncertainty. And uncertainty is dangerous in highly leveraged markets where sentiment changes faster than fundamentals.

The maximum price ever recorded in our database for BTC is $126,021. It was reached 7 months ago. The current price is down -36.01% from that high.
Bitcoin's most recent halving occurred in April 2024, reducing the block reward to 3.125 BTC. BTC is currently 25 months into the post-halving cycle, placing it in the late-cycle phase. Bitcoin is deep into its post-halving cycle. Historically, this period has included peak price levels followed by a correction phase.The next halving is expected in approximately 23 months.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reads 49 (Neutral), indicating a balanced market with no strong directional bias from sentiment alone.
Based on 23 technical indicators (including oscillators and moving averages), 12 call to buy, and 3 to sell, the prediction sentiment short-term is bullish based on technical price analysis. The first major uptrend resistance for BTC is at the $82,580 level, it needs to close above that level to continue to move higher, and bottom support sits at $79,269. So if the price falls below $79,269, we may see the price go even lower. If BTC closes above $82,580, it could rise to the next resistance level at $89,479.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 60.67, suggesting Neutral conditions so market is neither overbought nor oversold.
On the daily chart, exponential moving averages show a Bullish signal. Bitcoin is trading above 4 out of 5 key EMAs (10, 20, 50, 100, 200). Price remains below the long-term 200-day EMA, indicating macro-level pressure.

The minimum time BTC needed to reach new ATH is 1,405 days, maximum is 1,477 days.
Based on current momentum and volatility models, our Bitcoin price prediction suggests a projected BTC price range between $81,222 and $82,007 over the next 10 days. Looking further ahead, based on historical highs and shorter-term trends, the prediction for 2040 is $2,656,171.
Our 2026 Bitcoin price prediction model projects a potential range between $40,462 and $118,296, depending on market conditions. In a strong bullish scenario, BTC could approach the upper bound, while more conservative conditions may keep prices closer to the lower end of the range.
Bitcoin price prediction for the next year, 2027, is $78,633. That's the maximum that we predict BTC can reach, and the minimum price is $49,010.

Looking further ahead, the price prediction for 2030 reaches around $439,118, which would be about 5.4× the current price if market growth continues. Over the longer term, possible peak prices reach about $563,774 by 2035 and $2,656,171 by 2040. These long-term projections are based on historical price patterns and market cycles. Actual prices may vary depending on adoption, regulation, and overall market conditions.
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading within a range of $79,269 to $82,580, with these levels serving as key support and resistance levels. The first major resistance level for BTC is at $82,580, and if the price manages to break above this level, the next resistance levels to watch out for are $89,479 and $90,975. These levels are important as they may indicate the potential for further price gains .

In May 11, 2026, Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock is trading close to $135.22, slightly up 0.14% today and recovering from a minor...
☆QUICK OVERVIEW;
•Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock is trading at $135.22, recovering from a recent dip, with a slight increase of 0.14%.
•The company reported impressive first quarter 2026 revenue of $1.63 billion, an 85% year-over-year increase, surpassing analyst expectations
•U.S. revenue growth accelerated, reaching $1.28 billion, driven by increased demand for Gotham and Foundry solutions.
•Palantir raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $7.65 billion, reflecting strong commercial AIP adoption and a growing government pipeline
☆KEY DRIVERS TODAY;
▪︎First Quarter 2026 revenue: The company posted very impressive first quarter results, hitting $1.63 billion in revenue, a 85% year over year increase in the quarter, the largest annual revenue increase since the company went public. This blew past the analysts expected top line of $1.54 billion, while the company also delivered an adjusted EPS of $0.33, topping analyst estimates of $0.28.
▪︎U.S. revenue continues to accelerate: In the U.S. alone, the company saw nearly double year-over-year revenue growth for the quarter to $1.28 billion, which represented almost 79% of total revenue. Both U.S. government and large commercial clients alike saw increased demand for Gotham and Foundry solutions as well as AIP.
▪︎Guidance lifted: Given the very strong results, the company increased 2026 revenue guidance to $7.65 billion implying about 71% growth year-over-year. Management attributes the improved outlook to commercial AIP adoption ramping up faster than expected as well as a growing government pipeline.
▪︎Palantir AI platform continues to gain traction: Today’s top line beat highlights Palantir’s status as one of the primary winners in the AI sector, with growing commercial and government demand.
☆PALANTIR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Palantir (PLTR) is putting in a pretty neat tight flag on its 4H chart, after it bounced right back off the trendline support from April lows, around $122.77. And so far it’s still holding above that blue moving average dynamic support level, at $131-$133, but it’s running into a bit of trouble with the red moving average resistance around $140-$144.
When you look at the bigger picture though, the higher lows are still intact, within a much larger descending channel from that $156 high. And even though the recent consolidation was a bit tight, it’s been respecting that 0.618 – 0.786 Fib retracement area. And the RSI’s not doing too badly either, pretty much neutral, just a smidge above 50 – 55, with a positive divergence on the dip – that’s a sign of weakening bearish pressure and maybe even room to keep going.
☆KEY LEVELS
Resistance: $139.40–$140.71 → $144.67–$150.84
Support: $131.40 → $126.59
Trade Idea: Buy when you see it jump above $136 and see if you can get it to $140.71–$144.67 – and in the meantime, set your stop below $131.40.
Palantir’s execution and AI momentum is still moving along pretty well, but just to be realistic about it, the valuation isn’t exactly giving it a whole lot of room for error. So we all get to watch – and wait for – the Q2 numbers AND get a little more insight into their commercial AI adoption strategy

#ElonMusk Elon Musk’s late-night social media habits have triggered another meme coin eruption on Solana.
Around 1:07 AM ET on May 10, Musk posted a four-line list on X: “Bitches / Money / No Taxes / Party.” He followed it with a second post — “Don’t cut your balls off, guys” — before deleting the original post. By then, the post had accumulated over 48 million views and hundreds of thousands of interactions.
More consequentially for crypto markets, the post had already been tokenized. Within what community participants described as 73 seconds, anonymous traders deployed $BMNTP (Bitches Money No Taxes Party) on Pump.fun, Solana’s dominant meme coin launchpad
FROM POST TO TOKEN IN SECOND
The speed of the deployment reflects how deeply automated the Musk-to-token pipeline has become in 2026. Pump.fun allows anyone to launch a Solana token in a few clicks for under $5 in SOL fees, with a bonding curve mechanism that gradually increases the price as buyers enter. No coding, no audits, no team — just a ticker, an image, and a cultural moment
BMNTP saw its market cap swing from under $100,000 to peaks exceeding $1.5 million within the first hours, with 24-hour trading volumes reaching millions of dollars across Raydium and Meteora liquidity pools. The token is fully community-driven with no locked team allocation, no roadmap, and no utility beyond speculation and meme dissemination.
The bulk of trading activity concentrated around the primary contract address (6EQKNJD6KMTQv9KmhKDjs1jm1SRsNVGNqdKeEEiJpump), but as is standard in post-triggered meme coin events, multiple copycat tokens appeared almost instantly. Several launched with market caps ranging from $95,000 down to under $5,000. One variant prominently features the tagline “JACK DUVAL HAS 20%,” suggesting a whale allocation flag.
PATTERN;
The $BMNTP launch follows a pattern that The Crypto Times has reported in 2026: Musk posts, anonymous traders tokenize the post, early entrants capture triple-digit gains, and latecomers absorb the dump.
In April, Musk’s two-word reply “Will answer shortly” to a viral story about a teenage SpaceX fan sent the $ASTEROID meme coin past a $28 million market cap, with one trader turning 1 ETH into $474,000 within three hours. In January, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya’s post “Just let me buy $ELON” — referencing Musk — triggered the launch of $ELONCOIN on Pump.fun, which briefly topped $1.87 million in market cap. In February 2025, Musk’s name change to “Harry Bolz” spawned a token that pumped 17,000% in 30 minutes before crashing 85%.
The GORK saga in May 2025 — when Musk changed his display name to “Gorklon Rust”—produced the most dramatic lifecycle: a $70 million market cap and $200 million in daily volume within 48 hours, followed by a collapse to under $1 million by early 2026.
In every case, Musk has not endorsed or acknowledged the token. His pattern is to ignite cultural moments; anonymous traders monetize them.
THE COPYCAT SCAM PROBLEM;
The Pump.fun screenshot from the $BMNTP search page illustrates a structural risk that has plagued every post-triggered meme coin event in 2026. Multiple tokens deploy under identical or near-identical tickers within minutes, making it extremely difficult for buyers to identify the “canonical” version—if such a thing even exists for a token with no team, no utility, and no formal endorsement.
Solidus Labs has estimated that approximately 98% of tokens on Pump.fun show signs of being scams. CoinGecko data published this week found that while profitability on Pump.fun has improved in 2026 — with 73.3% of wallets booking gains in April — the vast majority of profits were concentrated at the lower end, with 65.1% of profitable wallets earning between $1 and $500.
The message for retail traders is blunt: verify contract addresses before transacting, treat meme coin allocations as expendable capital, and assume that by the time a Musk post reaches mainstream awareness, early entrants have already positioned for exit.

#BitcoinCash (BCH) was the top performer, gaining nearly 11%. The move was likely driven by renewed interest in peer-to-peer payment tokens as BCH gained traction in Latin American on-ramp integrations and saw technical breakout confirmation above key resistance levels.
AAVE (AAVE) rose 8.8% as DeFi sentiment rebounded, fueled by growing deposits and stronger on-chain revenue signals. The DAO also finalized a treasury framework that could pave the way for long-term token buybacks, reigniting value-accrual speculation.

#TrumpCrypto Trump Media & Technology Group recorded a net loss of $405.9 million in Q1 2026, widening sharply from a $31.7 million loss in the same period a year earlier, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 9. Nearly $370 million of the quarter's total losses came from markdowns on digital assets and equity securities. Revenue for the period reached $871,200, up 6% from $821,200 in Q1 2025. #TrumpMedia
The company booked $244 million in unrealized losses on its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings during the quarter. It recorded a further $108.2 million loss tied primarily to equity securities. Both figures reflect the decline in asset values between the time of purchase and March 31, 2026.
☆BTC PURCHASED NEAR LAST SUMMARY PEAK;
Trump Media held 9,542 BTC at quarter's end, with a cost basis of $1.13 billion and a fair value of $647 million as of March 31. The company acquired approximately 9,500 of those coins at an average price of around $108,519 per coin, near last summer's market peak. The position has partially recovered and was valued at approximately $770 million at the time of publication, with BTC trading above $80,000.
The company also holds 756 million Cronos (CRO) tokens, purchased for $113.9 million as part of a deal with Crypto(dot)com. That agreement tied the token to Truth Social and Truth+ rewards programs. The CRO position was valued at $53 million at quarter's end.
Of the company's BTC holdings, 4,260 coins are pledged as collateral for convertible notes, and a further 2,000 are held against covered call options used to manage price risk.
Media revenue accounted for $810,100 of Q1 total revenue. Truth.Fi contributed $61,100 in management fees from exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings. Total financial assets reached $2.1 billion, three times the level from a year earlier
☆OPERATING CASH FLOW REMAINS POSITIVE;
Despite the net loss, Trump Media generated $17.9 million in operating cash flow during the quarter. That result was supported in part by the sale of put options on its pledged BTC and related securities.
The company's stock, however, has lost more than 90% of its value since peaking at $97.54 in early 2022 and was last trading around $8.93. CEO Devin Nunes stepped down on April 22, 2026.
American Bitcoin, the crypto mining company co-founded by Eric Trump and backed by Donald Trump Jr., separately reported an $81.7 million net loss for Q1 2026, narrowing from $100.6 million a year earlier. Revenue came in at $62.1 million, a 400% increase from $12.3 million in Q1 2025, though the result fell short of analyst estimates by 17%. The company mined a record 817 BTC during the quarter, up from 783 in Q4 2025.

#crypto Crypto news today is turning toward AlphaPepe after the presale crossed the $1.15 million milestone while Stage 16 remains live at $0.01683 per token. The holder count has now passed 8,400, the AlphaSwap AI DEX demo has surpassed 3,000 active users, and the project has completed a full 10/10 BlockSAFU security audit ahead of its planned Q2 2026 exchange debut.
The move comes as Bitcoin price prediction headlines return to the $120,000 debate following renewed institutional demand and fresh spot ETF inflows. Bitcoin remains the blue-chip benchmark in this market cycle, but its next major move still depends on liquidity, ETF demand, and broader risk appetite continuing to build over time. AlphaPepe is moving in an earlier window, where the presale is active now, product usage is already visible, and the Q2 exchange launch is becoming the main focus before public trading begins.
☆CRYPTO NEW TODAY;ALPHAPEPE CROSS $1.5M WHILE THE BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION TARGET $120,000.
AlphaPepe crossing $1.15 million gives the presale another major milestone before launch. The project has already moved beyond its first seven-figure raise, passed 8,400 holders, and brought the AlphaSwap AI DEX demo beyond 3,000 active users before public trading begins. That is the kind of milestone stack retail buyers watch when a presale moves from early discovery into late-entry pressure.
This is where the presale-to-listing gap starts to matter. Before listing, buyers enter through the stage price. After listing, the market decides. Stage 16 is now live at $0.01683, and every stage transition removes the previous entry while pushing AlphaPepe closer to public exchange access.
Bitcoin remains the blue-chip benchmark in this setup. The Bitcoin price prediction has shifted back toward the $120,000 region as institutional demand returns and ETF inflows strengthen. Recent forecasts place BTC’s 2026 average near $123,000, while broader market models continue pointing toward the $95,000 to $120,000 range under stronger liquidity conditions
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have also shown renewed demand, with inflows returning as institutional appetite improves. But the $120,000 target still remains a large-cap, multi-quarter scenario. Bitcoin needs sustained ETF flows, macro liquidity, and stronger market confidence to support that move. AlphaPepe’s next milestones are closer. Stage 16 is active, AlphaSwap has crossed 3,000 demo users, the audit is complete, and the Q2 exchange debut remains the next major step.
AlphaPepe also removes one of the biggest launch problems in presales: delayed access. Token delivery is instant, with no vesting and no claim delay. That means buyers are not waiting for unlocks, claim portals, or post-listing distribution mechanics before the exchange window opens.
<<AlphaSwap Gives AlphaPepe Product Proof Before Listing>>
At the center of AlphaPepe is AlphaSwap, the AI-powered decentralized exchange built for meme coin traders. AlphaSwap is designed to solve three recurring problems in the sector: unsafe contracts, poor visibility into whale activity, and fragmented execution. The contract screening layer identifies suspicious token behavior before users interact with a smart contract. The whale tracking system gives traders visibility into large wallet movements as they happen. The cross-chain execution architecture is being built on BSC with speed and low-cost access in mind.
The 3,000-user demo milestone matters because it gives AlphaPepe measurable product usage before listing. Many early-stage crypto launches still come to market with branding, community energy, and future promises. AlphaPepe is moving toward its Q2 exchange debut with users already testing its core product. That gives the launch a different profile from a typical presale built only on hype.
The 10/10 BlockSAFU audit adds another layer of credibility before public trading begins. In a market where security remains one of the biggest concerns for early-stage buyers, AlphaPepe is approaching launch with a completed audit, a live product demo, 8,400+ holders, Stage 16 active, and more than $1.15 million raised before exchange access begins. That combination gives the presale a stronger position as the Q2 launch window moves closer.
CONSULTATION;
Bitcoin’s $120,000 target remains one of the major institutional forecasts in the current market cycle. The setup depends on ETF demand, liquidity conditions, institutional participation, and broader crypto market strength continuing to improve over time. If those conditions continue aligning, Bitcoin could remain the dominant large-cap story of the cycle.
But Bitcoin’s path to $120,000 still depends on external market conditions building over multiple quarters. AlphaPepe is moving on a shorter timeline. Stage 16 is live, the presale has crossed $1.15 million, the holder count has passed 8,400, the AlphaSwap demo has surpassed 3,000 users, and the Q2 exchange debut is approaching with visible product traction already in place.
That is why the $1.15 million milestone matters. AlphaPepe is not asking the market to wait for utility after launch. Users are already testing the product, the audit is complete, the holder base is growing, and the presale has entered its next stage before public trading begins. Bitcoin gives buyers the institutional large-cap trade. AlphaPepe gives them the presale-to-listing entry before the next price reset.
Stage 16 is active now at $0.01683, and every stage close moves the entry higher. Buyers waiting for the Q2 exchange debut may not be buying the same setup later. They may be chasing the price that early presale buyers secured before the public market arrived.

Ing driving return above $80,000$BTC
Bitfinex Alpha's latest report indicates that after entering May, BTC successfully broke through the dense selling pressure zone of $78,000 to $79,000, briefly approaching $83,000. This round of increase is mainly driven by spot demand rather than leveraged funds. Since May 8, the spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) has significantly risen, showing that buyers are continuously taking orders and absorbing market supply.
ETF capital inflows and public market increases have become the main driving forces, while long-term holders have now accumulated nearly 4 million BTC, marking the largest increase since the pandemic crash in 2020, which means that the circulating chips in the market are being further locked up. The market currently expects about a 94% probability that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates in June. In the context of macroeconomic uncertainty, institutional funds continue to position themselves in the crypto market.

Bitcoin briefly dipped before surging over $82,000 on Sunday as US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s counteroffer to a peace deal, which could prolong tension in the Middle East.
“I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social on Sunday after reading Iran’s proposal to end the war. Iran has previously requested that the US pay for war reparations and unfreeze blocked Iranian financial assets.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell from $81,430 to $80,520 within 45 minutes of Trump’s post before whipsawing nearly 2.3% to $82,347 less than three hours later, according to CoinGecko data. Bitcoin’s rise also resulted in nearly $64 million worth of short positions being wiped out over the last four hours, according to Coinglass data.
The US-Iran war and dispute over control of the Strait of Hormuz — which handles one-fifth of oil trade — has caused significant disruption in the financial markets over the past ten weeks, particularly in oil markets, which rose another 4.6% to $98.7 per barrel on Trump’s latest comments.
The S&P 500 futures index has risen 0.13% since the market opened about two hours after Trump’s post.
Trump’s refusal to accept Iran’s counteroffer dashes hopes of an imminent end to the war on Wednesday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said the war won’t be over until Iran’s uranium sites are dismantled.

Circle Internet Group agreed to sell 740 million ARC tokens for $222 million in a private placement led by a16z crypto, valuing the Arc blockchain network at $3 billion on a fully diluted basis.
The New York Stock Exchange-listed issuer of the USDC stablecoin disclosed the token presale Monday alongside its first-quarter 2026 results, which showed higher revenue and reserve income but lower net income.
The round was led by a16z crypto and backed by a consortium including BlackRock, Apollo Funds, ARK Invest, Bullish, General Catalyst, Haun Ventures, Intercontinental Exchange, IDG Capital, Janus Henderson Investors, Marshall Wace, SBI Group and Standard Chartered Ventures.
Circle entered into the token purchase agreements on Friday, agreeing to sell the ARC tokens at $0.30 each in a private placement exempt from registration under the US Securities Act of 1933.
The sale marks a major step in Circle’s effort to expand beyond stablecoin issuance into blockchain infrastructure, as the company seeks to build Arc into a settlement layer for stablecoin finance, tokenized assets and programmable financial markets.
Circle first introduced Arc in August 2025 as an open layer-1 blockchain focused on stablecoin finance. It also published a whitepaper on Monday, describing ARC as a “native coordination asset” designed to support governance, security and network operations on the system.
Circle (CRCL) shares were up around 3% in premarket trading to $116.7, extending recent gains, according to Yahoo Finance. The stock is up around 12.2% over the past month and more than 40% year to date.
<<Saylor signals another Strategy BTC buy, after talk of selling in Q1 earnings call>>
Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, signaled that the Bitcoin treasury company will resume its BTC purchases this week, following an earnings call on Tuesday, during which he said the company may periodically sell portions of its treasury.
“Back to work, BTC,” Saylor said in an X post on Sunday, messaging that has previously preceded a BTC purchase, which typically the day after his posts
The company last purchased BTC on April 27, buying 3,273 coins for about $255 million, which brought its total holdings to 818,334 BTC. Those holdings were worth about $61.8 billion, according to Strategy's website at the time of publication.
The company paused its BTC buying streak for one week ahead of Tuesday’s first quarter 2026 earnings call, in which Saylor said that the company could sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings periodically to pay dividends to holders of its credit instruments

#BitcoinPricePredictions Bitcoin continues to lead the crypto market, making Bitcoin price predictions essential reading for traders and long-term investors alike. Because BTC influences nearly every other asset, we update this BTC forecast daily to capture the latest data and market shifts.
Below, we break down the forces shaping Bitcoin right now – from catalysts and trend shifts to trader psychology – and explore what these signals could mean for BTC’s direction in the coming months and all the way through 2040
Current Price: 81,038.03
24h Change: 0.91%
7d Change: 2.75%
24h Volume: 15,716,273,460.51
Bitcoin is at 81,038.03 today, extending its recent pullback as short-term selling pressure persists. Although the downward trend persists, there is a ray of hope in the form of a minor weekly gain. The trading volume seems consolidated at $43 – $45B, which is indicative of a reduced risk appetite rather than aggressive capitulation.
The BTC price action is stalling just below a key technical inflection zone. Short‑term charts show lingering caution following the early‑December bearish flag breakdown, but the underlying backdrop still points to a consolidating market rather than a sustained downtrend.

In the short term, Bitcoin could experience high volatility, as analyst Gert van Lagen on the X platform recently identified a Wyckoff accumulation pattern on Bitcoin’s technical charts. He noted that Bitcoin broke above the $88,000–$89,500 resistance zone after multiple rejections since mid-December 2025 and is now undergoing a low-volume retest. In Wyckoff theory, low-volume pullbacks are significant because they indicate limited selling interest and the presence of buyers supporting the level, rather than guaranteed upward momentum. Retests of this type historically succeed roughly 60–70% of the time in analyst heuristics, pointing to a potential rally toward $92,000–$100,000 if support holds.
☆LONG-TERM BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION,( 2026 240)
According to Michael Saylor, the price of Bitcoin will rise at a 30% annual rate during the next 20 years, bringing its price into the ballpark of $13 million per coin. Based on his analysis, our analytic models forecast that the maximum Bitcoin price will rise by 30%, while the minimum increase will be 10%. Here is a table showing this forecast.
Year Minimum Price (10%) Average Price (20%) Maximum Price (30%)
2026 $99,741 $108,809 $108,809
2027 $109,715 $130,571 $153,239

☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION FOR (2026)
Many market watchers are hopeful that Bitcoin can turn things around during this period. In fact, according to CoinGecko reports, Citi analysts led by Alex Saunders predicted a base case of Bitcoin reaching $143,000 by December 2026, with a bull and bear case scenario of $189,000 and $78,500, respectively. Following a similar bullish stance, asset managers Grayscale and Bitwise predict Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high of above $126,000 in 2026. Citing these sentiments, our minimum BTC price forecast for 2026 is pegged at $117,809, with a maximum price of $99,741. The average price prediction is $108,809.
☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION (2027)
2027 could be a year of bullish trend continuation for Bitcoin. That’s because by then, institutional adoption and macroeconomic stance would be more favourable. In fact, many industry experts believe the crypto market can get the much-awaited regulatory framework. When this happens, Bitcoin can experience volatile months in 2027. Supporting this bullish stance, the founder of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, has made a case for Bitcoin reaching $750,000. He stated that an economic crisis in the United States is inevitable. According to the crypto expert, when it happens, people will prefer buying Bitcoin since it comes with minimal government involvement. Taking note of all these factors, our maximum Bitcoin price target for 2027 is a new high of $153,239, with $109,715 being the likely lowest point. The average price for the year is $130,571.
☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION FOR (2028)
Our prediction models indicate a period of strong consolidation in the Bitcoin price during this period. Analysts say it is during this timeframe that Bitcoin will gather steam for a massive surge, when it becomes a mature asset and displaces the existing financial system. Institutional players, during this period, will be offloading their positions in an attempt to consistently take profits. It is also during this period that we will have the next Bitcoin halving event. As with other months of the Bitcoin halving event, we expect slow movements, and that’s why we pegged our target for the minimum price increase for the year at $120,687. However, if Bitcoin turns bullish, it can hit $199,211.
☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION FOR (2029)
Looking towards 2029, a period after the next Bitcoin halving event, forecasts span a wide range from the hundreds of thousands to multi-million dollar targets. The core of these long-term predictions reflects a belief in Bitcoin’s evolving role from a speculative asset to a foundational part of the global financial system. Among institutional forecasters, the long-term price predictions are overwhelmingly bullish. VanEck forecasts Bitcoin could reach $300,000, and sees a long-term possibility of $1 million. Bitwise also holds a similar long-term view, targeting a price above $1 million by 2029 if Bitcoin’s market capitalisation surpasses gold’s. Considering these expectations, our maximum Bitcoin price target for 2029 is a new high of $258,974, with $132,756 being the likely lowest point. The average price for the year is $188,022.
☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION FOR 2030
Many experts forecast that exciting developments will occur around 2030. Cathie Wood of ARK Invest even predicts Bitcoin will reach at least $1.5 million by 2030, citing its growing use in corporate treasuries and its role as a non-sovereign store of value. Meanwhile, the models and quantitative platforms offer a more varied but still optimistic picture. For instance, the PlanB’s (revised) Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, a widely referenced valuation tool, forecasts a significant 2030 range of $2.5 million to $10 million. Taking all these forecasts into perspective, we believe the Bitcoin price can reach up to $336,667. On a more cautionary front, we placed our target at $146,032 with an average price of $225,626.
☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION FOR 2035
Looking towards 2035, predictions for Bitcoin diverge dramatically, reflecting a deep uncertainty about its future role in the global financial system. The key question is whether it will remain an alternative asset or evolve into a foundational component of the world’s monetary infrastructure. Regardless, some proponents are very bullish on their predictions for 2035. In fact, Joe Burnett, who is the Director of Market Research at Unchained, has outlined a thesis that envisions Bitcoin reaching $10 million per coin by 2035. We propose an expectation of $1,249,020 during this period. However, if price action doesn’t go as planned, then it could hit a target of $235,187 at an average price of $561,429.
☆BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION FOR 2040
By 2040, a pivotal year coinciding with Bitcoin’s 8th halving, 99.8% of all bitcoins will have been mined. This creates an unprecedented supply constraint that long-term models agree could lead to multi-million-dollar valuations, despite differing on the exact numbers. Hence, our algorithm forecast the Bitcoin price to reach up to $4,637,524 with an average price of $1,397,016. While these forecasts may seem outrageous to some, the core message is consistent: Bitcoin’s unique design and its eventual near-complete issuance are considered powerful drivers that could support multi-million-dollar valuations in the coming decades.

$BTC Every Bitcoin halving since 2012 has produced a price peak 12 to 18 months later. After the April 2024 halving, Bitcoin hit a $126,000 all-time high in October 2025—exactly inside that historical window. BTC now trades around $80,000, about 37% below that peak.
▪︎Standard Chartered and Bernstein both target $150,000 for Bitcoin by year-end, requiring a roughly 88% gain from current prices. However, Fidelity’s Director of Global Macro Jurrien Timmer believes the October 2025 peak of $126,000 was the cycle top, making 2026 a “dormant year” with support around $65,000–$75,000.
▪︎BlackRock’s IBIT holds $66.9 billion in assets and commands 66% of the entire U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market, which has crossed $106 billion in total AUM. Spot Bitcoin ETFs simply did not exist in any previous halving cycle, which is why this cycle could play out differently from the four before it.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is trading around $81,000 today, down 35% from its all-time high of $126,000. The 4-year halving cycle, which traders have followed since 2012, points to a peak roughly 12 to 18 months after every halving. Bitcoin hit its $126K high in October 2025—right inside that window—but bulls argue the cycle has another leg as ETF demand keeps pulling supply off exchanges.
Standard Chartered and Bernstein both call for $150,000 by year-end, which would be a new all-time high and an 88% gain from today’s price. The crypto community cannot stop debating whether the cycle has more upside in 2026 or already peaked. Does Bitcoin have one more leg, or is the top already in?
●WHAT EXACTLY IS BITCOIN 4-YEAR CYCLE?
Every four years, Bitcoin’s code automatically halves the reward miners earn for adding new transactions to the blockchain. This is called the halving, and it directly reduces the rate at which new Bitcoin enters circulation. The most recent halving happened on April 20, 2024, dropping the reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.
When the amount of new Bitcoin hitting the market each day drops by half—but demand stays the same or grows—the Bitcoin price tends to rise. Traders pay attention to the cycle because a price peak arrives roughly 12 to 18 months after every halving, followed by a sharp correction that sets the floor for the next cycle.
The cycle has held across all four halvings so far. Each cycle has also gotten less explosive—a 1,000% gain is easy when Bitcoin is worth $12, but a completely different challenge when it’s worth $80,000. The directional pattern—halving, correction, rally, and peak—has repeated with enough consistency that institutional analysts use it as a primary framework for their
●OUR BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION END Of 2016
▪︎BULL CASE;$130,000–$150,000
This scenario requires the CLARITY Act to pass before August, the Fed to deliver at least one more rate cut, and BlackRock’s IBIT to sustain daily inflows above $200 million through Q3. If all three happen, big money investors would get the regulatory clarity and macro cover they need to allocate funds to Bitcoin.
Here, Bitcoin would break back above $100,000, rally above the $126,000 all-time high, and close the cycle above $130,000. We think this is the best-case outcome, if all key catalysts get triggered.
☆BASE CASE;$90,000–$115,000
In our base scenario, we expect the CLARITY Act to clear the Senate but get delayed by reconciliation until late 2026. ETF inflows would stay positive but uneven, with strong weeks followed by flat ones
If these happen, we see Bitcoin grinding above $80,000 through the summer, testing $90,000 in Q3, and closing the year somewhere between $90,000 and $115,000 as sentiment improves without fully flipping to greed.
This is our most likely outcome, and it requires only steady institutional demand and no major negative shock between now and December.
☆BEAR CASE;$55,000–$75,000
Our bearish forecast is that the CLARITY Act stalls past the midterms, the Fed signals a pause on rate cuts under Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh, and ETF inflows flip to outflows for multiple consecutive weeks. Without regulatory progress, institutions would pull back, corporate treasury buying could slow down, and Bitcoin could break below the $74,000-$76,000 support zone
A drop to $55,000–$75,000 would mean October 2025 was the final top with no second leg—Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer has made exactly this case. We don’t think this is the most likely forecast, but it’s real enough to plan for if the May markup on the CLARITY Act falls apart.
WHAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN FOR BTC TO ACTUALLY REACH $150,000?
would need to rally 88% in roughly seven months to climb from $80,000 to $150,000 by December 2026. It has moved that much before in shorter windows, but certain conditions will determine whether this cycle delivers a second leg up or whether October 2025 was the final top.
<ETF Inflows Need to Sustain Their Pace>
In April 2026 alone, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed roughly 19,000 BTC over a nine-day inflow streak—nine times the amount of new Bitcoin miners produced in that same period. BlackRock’s IBIT crossed $66.9 billion in AUM by early May 2026, representing 66% of the entire U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market.
When ETFs buy Bitcoin that aggressively, they pull coins off exchanges and lock them away. Fewer coins available for sale, combined with steady or growing demand, could give Bitcoin the push to $150,000 by the end of the year.
<The Fed Needs to Keep Cutting Rates>
Loose monetary policy and Bitcoin prices have moved together in every cycle. The Federal Reserve delivered three interest rate cuts in 2025, and bond market pricing shows traders expecting at least one more cut in 2026.
Lower rates push investors out of cash and fixed-income assets and into higher-risk, higher-return assets—and Bitcoin trades near the top of that risk ladder. Any hawkish shift under Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh could reverse rate-cut expectations and remove one of the key pillars supporting the $150,000 price target.
<Corporate Treasury Buying Must Continue>
the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, held 818,334 BTC as of late April 2026—about 3.8% of Bitcoin’s entire 21 million supply locked in a single company’s treasury. Its average buy price is $75,537 per coin, and it added 34,164 BTC for $2.54 billion in a single week in April.
When corporations treat Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, they pull coins off exchanges and lock them up. This creates a slow-building squeeze that amplifies any demand-side catalyst.
If Strategy stops buying, or Bitcoin falls below its $75,537 average entry price, the board would stop authorizing new purchases. Other corporate buyers would likely follow, which would affect the scarcity conditions required to meet the $150,000 price target.
<Market Sentiment Must Flip From Fear to FOMO>
has been running at neutral-to-fearful levels through most of 2026. The Fear and Greed Index was reading 47—near neutral—as of early May, suggesting that the institutional demand reflected in ETF flows has not yet produced widespread retail enthusiasm. The $150,000 price target requires such a shift.
Bitcoin’s recovery above $82,000 this week—its highest level since January—is a small early signal that the sentiment may be shifting. The next signal to watch is whether it holds above $85,000 for more than a week
<Should You Still Trust the 4-Year Cycle in 2026?>
We think the cycle still works, but it no longer runs on a fixed calendar. While the halving still halves new Bitcoin supply, ETFs now move more capital in a single day than miners produce in a month. This means the cycle’s timing depends more on what big institutions decide to do than on the supply cut itself
Moreover, ETF outflows turning persistent could change things drastically—three or more consecutive weeks of net outflows would signal the institutional bid has reversed. Until that happens, the setup favors the bull case.
If October 2025 was the final top, we expect Bitcoin to consolidate between $65,000 and $82,000 through year-end. But if the cycle has another leg, Bitcoin could hit $150,000 by December.

#CryptoMarket
☆MARKET OVERVIEW;
Bitcoin ended the last 24 hours at $80,910, up +0.6%, trading in a tight range between $80,217 and $81,063. The move is negligible on its own, but what happened around the price is not. Ethereum traded at $2,324, up +0.3%, broadly flat alongside BTC. SOL slipped -0.2% to $93.37 and BNB declined -0.1% to $648.93. Broad market cap was slightly positive - up roughly +0.4% - with no major outlier moves across altcoins.
Fear & Greed sits at 47 (Neutral), jumping nine points from yesterday's 38. That is the largest single-day sentiment recovery in weeks. Notably, a week ago the index read the same 47 - meaning the 7-day trend is flat despite the sharp 24-hour move. A month ago it was 16 (Extreme Fear), so the 30-day recovery is real, even if today's spike is a one-day mean reversion rather than a sustained trend. The current regime reads BULLISH, with BTC sitting +1.35% above its 20-period EMA and the EMA sloping upward at +0.6%.
☆FLOW AND POSITIONING;
The session's most significant data point was not on the price chart. On May 8, approximately 1.29 billion USDT were withdrawn from centralized exchanges on Ethereum - the largest single-day outflow since February, according to Santiment's Exchange Flow Balance data.
At face value, stablecoin leaving exchanges looks bearish: buying power is leaving platforms where it can be deployed immediately. But outflows at this scale typically do not represent capital exiting the market. They reflect institutional repositioning - funds moving to self-custody wallets, OTC desks, or DeFi protocols for transactions too large to execute through standard order books without moving markets. The capital did not vanish. It moved.
Running parallel, Bitcoin's open interest across derivatives markets has now exceeded the levels recorded during BTC's 2025 all-time high formation. This expansion occurred even as funding rates remained broadly negative for weeks - meaning the leverage buildup was not a crowd of aggressive longs paying premiums. It was measured accumulation of exposure, directionally mixed but structurally growing. Binance holds approximately 34% of total open interest market share. Gate.io and Bybit also hit records. The derivatives market is gearing up for something. Spot price has not confirmed what.
☆RISKS FACTORS;
Several concrete risk inputs emerged across the session.
First, analysts flagged a potential BTC technical breakdown toward $70,000, citing a rising wedge formation on the chart, Strategy's recent pause in Bitcoin purchases, and the Federal Reserve's updated inflation estimates reducing near-term rate-cut expectations. That is not a fringe take - it is a technically grounded downside scenario with a macro catalyst.
Second, Santiment separately flagged a spike in bullish social media commentary around Bitcoin while price holds near $80,000. Historically, sentiment outpacing price at resistance is a short-term caution signal, not a confirmation of continuation.
Third, on Ethereum specifically, Binance recorded multiple large ETH inflows since early May - 216,152 ETH on May 6, 98,552 ETH on May 8, and roughly $288 million more on May 9. Binance now holds approximately 3.62 million ETH, around 24.6% of total exchange reserves. Rising exchange reserves typically signal available selling supply, not accumulation.
Finally, the CLARITY Act stablecoin legislation faces a potential revision after US banking trade groups pushed for amendments to the yield compromise ahead of an expected markup next week. Any legislative uncertainty around stablecoins introduces indirect market risk, particularly for USDT-denominated flows that are currently elevated.
☆STRUCTUREL READ;
What the last 24 hours produced is a market where the preparation for a move is visible, but the move itself has not happened.
Fear & Greed jumped nine points in one day.
Open interest exceeded 2025 all-time high levels.
1.29 billion USDT repositioned away from exchanges.
BTC price: +0.6%.
These inputs are not contradictory. They are the signature of a coiled market - capital arranged in advance of something that has not yet occurred in spot. The USDT outflow suggests large actors moving off-exchange ahead of transactions too large for standard books. The open interest expansion, on negative funding, suggests derivatives participants building exposure without crowding one direction. Sentiment is pricing in a move that positioning has already begun to reflect.
☆WHAT MATTERS NEXT;
Two levels define the near-term read for BTC. The $86,000–$88,000 zone represents the last major support region from November–January, which flipped to resistance during the January sell-off. Above that sits the 50-Week Moving Average, which has historically acted as the key flip zone in Bitcoin bull cycles.
If BTC clears $86,000 on volume, the structural read shifts from coiled to confirmed. If BTC loses the $80,000 level on any macro catalyst - particularly a hotter-than-expected inflation print or a Fed statement that pushes rate cuts further out - the rising wedge scenario toward $70,000 becomes the operative thesis, not a tail risk.
For Ethereum, the key variable is whether the large inflows into Binance represent supply overhang or institutional staging. If ETH reserves on Binance continue rising while price consolidates, that is supply pressure. If they reverse while price holds, the setup reads differently.
The CLARITY Act markup next week is a secondary watch item. Any breakdown in the stablecoin yield compromise could introduce regulatory noise at a structurally sensitive moment.

$BTC Bitcoin is trading under pressure in the early hours of May 9, 2026, and the prediction market is not hiding where it stands. The contract covering the 12:00AM to 4:00AM ET window prices an upward close at just 15.5%. That is an 84.5% implied probability that Bitcoin finishes the four-hour block lower than where it opened. The market has made a clear directional call.
This contract resolves at 2026-05-09 08:00:00. It asks one question: does Bitcoin close higher or lower during the 12:00AM to 4:00AM ET window on May 9? The YES side pays out if Bitcoin is up. The NO side pays out if Bitcoin is flat or down. With YES priced at $0.16 and NO at $0.85, the market is leaning hard on the bearish side of that ledger.
<<How the Bitcoin May 9 Window Contract Works>>
This is a direction binary. YES resolves in favor if Bitcoin closes higher at the end of the 12:00AM to 4:00AM ET block than where it started. NO resolves in favor if Bitcoin closes flat or lower during that same window. Resolution follows market data at 2026-05-09 08:00:00.
•YES is priced at $0.16, implying a 16% chance Bitcoin closes up in the window.
•NO is priced at $0.85, implying an 84% chance Bitcoin closes flat or down.
The contract favors the downside heavily. Bitcoin would need to reverse its current trajectory and post a net gain across the four-hour window for the YES side to pay. Given the momentum profile and recent price action, that requires a meaningful shift in overnight buying pressure.
<<Momentum and Conviction Signals>>
The momentum composite reads bearish. The 1-hour change is flat at 0.0%, the 24-hour change sits at -2.0%, and the trend score registers 34.25. That combination points to selling pressure that has stalled but not reversed. The flat 1-hour reading after a negative 24-hour move is deceleration, not recovery. Bitcoin has been drifting lower heading into this window, and the trend score below 40 confirms the lack of any meaningful bid-side momentum.
Total contract volume sits at $12,472, with $11,987 of that traded in the last 24 hours. Liquidity in the book is $1,622. That is thin. At this depth, a small cluster of trades can shift the contract price noticeably. The volume concentration in the last 24 hours suggests this market came alive as Bitcoin’s spot price moved. Conviction is visible, but the liquidity ceiling keeps this a low-confidence read on broader market positioning.
▪︎Bitcoin’s 24-hour spot decline of roughly 2% is the primary driver of the NO contract’s current dominance.
▪︎The 1-hour flat print at 0.0% shows the selling has paused, not reversed.
▪︎A trend score of 34.25 places this market in bearish territory with no recovery signal yet.
▪︎The $1,622 liquidity figure means large single trades could move the contract price quickly.
▪︎The 24-hour volume of $11,987 against total volume of $12,472 shows most activity arrived today.
<<Lines Analysis: Bitcoin in the Early Morning Window>>
The case for NO is straightforward. Bitcoin entered this window already down on the day. Overnight crypto sessions in 2026 have been sensitive to macro positioning, and without a clear catalyst to drive buying pressure between midnight and 4AM ET, gravity tends to win. The trend score at 34.25 gives no signal of accumulation. The flat 1-hour reading just means sellers paused, not that buyers arrived.
YES outcome becomes possible if Bitcoin catches a bid from Asian session flows or if a macro catalyst arrives overnight. Spot reversals in this time window have historically required either a major exchange-driven liquidity event or a sharp shift in futures funding rates. Neither signal is visible in the current data. Bitcoin would need to recover the 24-hour loss and push through to a net positive print before 4AM ET for YES to resolve.
•Bitcoin’s spot price direction in the next two hours is the single most important factor for resolution.
•Futures funding rates on major exchanges will signal whether short pressure is building or unwinding.
•Asian session volume on Binance and OKX between 1AM and 3AM ET will indicate whether regional buyers are stepping in.
•Any macro headline between now and 4AM ET, including Fed official commentary or geopolitical news, could shift overnight positioning quickly.
•Exchange inflow spikes on Coinbase or Kraken would suggest institutional selling pressure continuing into the window.
The $12,472 total volume and $1,622 liquidity confirm this is a retail-weighted market, not an institutional positioning tool. The NO side holds at $0.85 because the spot price and trend data give no reason to expect Bitcoin to reverse during this specific window. The data favors NO, clearly and by a wide margin.

$BTC Bitcoin is trading below $80,000 as Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls news lands with a sharp miss. April job growth clocked just 62,000 against March’s 172,000. It’s a deteriorating labor market that has previously turbocharged Fed pivot expectations and sent risk assets higher.
Something is off in the labor market:In February, US employers cut -448,000 jobs, the largest monthly decline since July 2020.Then, in March, US employers increased hiring by +655,000 MoM, the largest monthly increase on record, excluding the 2020 pandemic period
However, the complication arrives immediately. The average hourly earnings are running at 3.8% year-on-year, up from 3.5% previously, a wage growth print that keeps the inflation alive and the Federal Reserve’s hands partially tied.
The $120,000 Bitcoin thesis needs both sides of this equation to cooperate. A soft labor market clears one path. It signals the Fed can hold or cut rates, lifting risk assets and reducing the opportunity cost of holding BTC. But sticky wages block that path. The Jobs Miss News for $120,000 Bitcoin
The macro logic is straightforward. A hiring slowdown of this magnitude reinforces the case that the U.S. labor market is cooling fast enough to keep the Federal Reserve from tightening further. Markets are currently pricing in steady interest rates through 2026. A print this soft could push that hike expectation further out, which is the definition of a dovish repricing.
For Bitcoin, that transmission mechanism is direct. Lower rate expectations compress the dollar, reduce the yield on competing assets, and historically correlate with BTC accumulation by institutional players. The August 2025 playbook is instructive: a 22,000-job payroll news propelled Bitcoin above $113,000 as rate-cut odds surged to near certainty. Bitcoin (BTC)24h7d30d1yAll time
The technical picture, though, demands respect for where Bitcoin actually sits right now. Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, puts the structure plainly:
Bitcoin has retreated from its 200-day moving average after briefly entering overbought territory near the upper boundary of its uptrend channel, with the lower channel boundary sitting near $77,500 and a broader trend break requiring a fall below $75,000. Wage Growth Is the Variable the Market Can’t Ignore
The 3.8% year-on-year wage growth figure is the speed bump embedded in today’s otherwise Bitcoin-friendly data. Wages at this level sustain services inflation, the stickiest component of the CPI basket, and give the Fed legitimate cover to hold interest rates higher for longer regardless of how weak the headline payrolls print looks.
The transmission mechanism runs in the wrong direction for BTC. Persistent wage growth feeds services prices, which feed core inflation, which feeds a Fed that cannot pivot cleanly. A Fed that can’t pivot means interest rates stay elevated, the dollar stays supported, and the risk premium attached to non-yielding assets like Bitcoin stays compressed.
As long as wage growth holds above 3.5%, the Fed’s dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability remains in active tension, and that tension limits how aggressively markets can price in easing.
The Coinbase premium Index went deep red in late April even as Bitcoins price kept climbing.A classic distribution from retail and institutions. The red zone means institutions and big buyers were selling into strength for over a week.It’s now slowly recovering back toward…
The Bitcoin Premium Index flipping into a discount this week adds another layer of caution. That index measures the price gap between Bitcoin on Coinbase versus offshore exchanges like Binance. Green readings signal U.S. institutional demand; a discount signals the opposite. The rally above $80,000 stalled precisely when that premium disappeared.
QCP Capital, the Singapore-based trading firm, frames the broader macro risk sharply:
If crude fails to de-escalate before the May 20 FOMC minutes, with Brent already just above $100 a barrel and prediction markets assigning a 97% probability to no Hormuz normalization by May 15, the stagflation narrative becomes much harder to dismiss.
Stagflation is the worst macro environment for Bitcoin’s risk-asset positioning.

#Trumploss Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: $DJT) reported first-quarter results, pointing to a larger financial asset base and positive operating cash flow. At the same time, a steep net loss showed how crypto exposure continues to shape the company’s earnings profile.
The company, which operates Truth Social, Truth+ and the financial services brand Truth.Fi, ended the quarter with $2.2 billion in total assets and about $2.1 billion in financial assets. The total included cash, short-term investments, equity securities, a note receivable, accrued interest, digital assets and pledged digital assets.
TMTG said operating activities provided $17.9 million in cash, marking its fourth straight quarter of positive operating cash flow. The figure gives the company more room to keep building its media, streaming and FinTech products while it works toward a proposed merger with TAE Technologies.
Revenue remained small relative to the balance sheet. TMTG posted $0.9 million in first-quarter revenue as it continues to focus on audience growth, platform infrastructure and future monetized features. Net loss widened to $405.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA loss reached $387.8 million. Most of the loss came from non-cash items, including $368.7 million in unrealized losses tied to digital assets, pledged digital assets and equity securities.
Truth Social is also developing features tied to prediction contracts in cooperation with Crypto.com, along with sports discussion tools, boosted posts, better Truth+ integration and broader use of artificial intelligence. Truth+ added live and international channels during the quarter and updated parts of its user experience.
Interim CEO Kevin McGurn said Trump Media is using its balance sheet and positive operating cash flow to keep expanding its businesses and platform infrastructure.
For crypto investors, the filing keeps TMTG in a familiar gray zone: not a pure digital-asset company, but one whose results are now meaningfully shaped by holdings, product plans and partnerships linked to the sector.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT) is currently trading at $8.93 U.S. per share.
The Trump family media group posted a net drop of $405.9 million in the first quarter, largely driven by unrealized losses in cryptocurrencies held by the company.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., which is the parent company of Truth Social, released its first-quarter 2026 results on Friday reporting a positive operating cash flow of $17.9 million and $2.1 billion in financial assets, which is triple the assets from the same period a year ago.
