Bitcoin Accumulation Strengthens as BTC Approaches Key Resistance

Bitcoin (BTC) is now up 3% since the beginning of May, after gaining 14% gain in April.
Inflows into BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have accelerated over the past two weeks, while consistent bitcoin treasury accumulation continues to support the market.
From an on-chain perspective, Glassnode data shows that both short-term holders (STHs) and long-term holders (LTHs) have increased their supply holdings, LTHs since early March, while STHs have begun accumulating over the past week.
Glassnode defines LTHs as investors who have held BTC for 155 days or more, while STHs have held for less than 155 days. In their latest weekly report, Glassnode notes that LTHs have increased their holdings by over 250,000 BTC, since the start of March, taking the cohort’s total supply to over 14 million BTC.
«This suggests a degree of confidence has returned, and accumulation pressures are outweighing the propensity for investors to spend and de-risk,” according to Glassnode.
While STHs often act in opposition to LTHs, they too have shown signs of renewed accumulation, adding over 25,000 BTC in the past week. This marks a reversal from the net distribution of more than 200,000 BTC that began in February 2025, coinciding with the onset of bitcoin’s 30% drawdown.
With BTC currently flirting with the $97,000 level, this broad-based accumulation indicates a restoration of confidence across investor cohorts. However, Glassnode also identifies a major resistance level at $99,900, where long-term holders may begin to realize profits when they start to hold a +350% unrealized profit margin, according to Glassnode data.
“As such, we can anticipate an uptick in sell-side pressure as the market approaches this zone, making it an area that will likely require substantial buy-side demand to absorb the distribution, and sustain upwards momentum».

OCC: Banks Can Buy and Sell Their Customers’ Crypto Assets Held in Custody

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks, has continued its about-face to earlier resistance to cryptocurrency in banking, issuing interpretive letters that say the institutions can — at their customers’ behest — buy and sell crypto assets in custody.
The newly explained policy stance released by the OCC on Wednesday also clarified that the bankers can outsource crypto activities to third parties, including custody and executive services. As long as it all still checks the boxes of the watchdog’s safety-and-soundness requirements, the OCC is giving the banks more crypto freedom.
This week’s move follows the agency’s March reversal of a longstanding policy that demanded bankers check with their government supervisors before moving ahead with new crypto business. «These letters signal a shift in the OCC’s approach,» Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Starkware general counsel and a former chief legal officer at Cboe Digital, noted on social media site X. She said the agency now seems to be melding crypto into traditional banking. And the additional guidance that third-parties are okay «is a boon to regulated crypto native service providers.»

Fed Stagflation Risk Signal Could Be Bullish for Bitcoin, Analyst Says

The Federal Reserve is growing increasingly alert to stagflation risks—an uneasy mix of slowing growth and rising inflation that could challenge policymakers.
While Chair Jerome Powell insisted that the economy is in «good shape» and emphasized that the central bank is in “a good position to wait and see,” prior to shifting policy, subtle changes in the central bank’s policy statement pointed to heightened concerns over the economy’s direction.
Holding its benchmark interest rate steady today, the U.S. central bank acknowledged the growing risk of rising inflation and unemployment — roughly the definition of stagflation, which last made an appearance throughout a sizable chunk of the 1970s. That scenario would leave the central bank with limited room to maneuver to stimulate a weakening economy without further fueling inflation.
“The Fed is worried about stagflation,” Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, posted on X after the decision. “We think that outcome would be good for bitcoin.”
In an earlier report, Pandl argued that rising tariffs contribute to stagflation, which historically hurts traditional assets but benefits scarce stores of value like gold. “Bitcoin was not around for past stagflations,” he wrote, “but can be considered a scarce digital commodity and is increasingly viewed as a modern store of value.”
Bitcoin traded in a tight range following the Fed’s announcement and Powell’s remarks. It briefly touched $97,500 earlier Wednesday on optimism around U.S.-China trade talks before settling back to $96,500 — up 1.6% over the past 24 hours.
The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a broader gauge of the crypto market, was up just 0.3% over the same period, weighed down by 1%-3% declines in XRP, AVAX, UNI, NEAR, and AAVE.
Meanwhile, equities recovered modestly from earlier losses, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing 0.4% and 0.3% higher, respectively.

Trump Crypto Advisor David Bailey In Talks to Launch Bitcoin Investment Company: The Information

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., the owner of Bitcoin Magazine, is planning to launch a publicly traded bitcoin (BTC) investing company, The Information reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Bailey, who advised Donald Trump on crypto policy during his 2024 presidential campaign, is reportedly seeking $200 million through a private share sale and an additional $100 million in convertible debt to fund a small publicly traded firm to buy bitcoin.
The company—whose name is not known yet—will merge with BTC Inc. and be named “Nakamoto” after bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, according to the people. The deal could be announced as soon as next week.
His plans follow those of several other companies, building on the success of Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor, who was able to push the company’s stock price by over 3,000% since holding bitcoin as its main treasury reserve asset and rebranding it as a bitcoin strategy company.
Last month, powerhouses SoftBank, Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald announced a $3.6 billion bitcoin investment vehicle with the intention to buy bitcoin. Earlier today, Strive Asset Management said it was merging with Asset Entities to become a publicly traded bitcoin asset management company.
