Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) widened its at-the-market fundraising

securities, bringing the company&#8217;s total active issuance capacity to over $60 
billion. The 8-K filing, which added fresh ATM lines while terminating one 
older program, signals a reconfiguration of the capital stack behind the 
firm&#8217;s […]

Over $44 million in short positions were wiped out on Binance in a single hour 
Monday — the largest one-hour short liquidation since February 6 — yet the 
price surge it helped trigger drew little enthusiasm from actual buyers.

Swells Futures Chaos, Not Fresh Money, Lifted BTC Bitcoin climbed to a weekly 
high of $71,801 on Binance during the US market session, pushed higher largely 
by forced closures of short positions rather than new capital entering the 
market. Aggregated open interest across Bitcoin futures fell by roughly 9,700 
BTC — a 3.5% drop — over 13 hours while prices rose. When open interest falls 
during a rally, it typically means traders are exiting positions, not adding 
them. That&#8217;s not the signature of a confident bull run. The Coinbase premium, 
which tracks whether US buyers are paying above or below the global average 
price, stayed negative throughout the move. Reports indicate limited spot 
demand from US participants during the entire rally window. Binance Volumes 
Sink To Bear Market Levels The broader picture looks just as thin. According 
to crypto analyst Darkfost, March is on pace to record the lowest Binance spot 
volume since the third quarter of 2023 — around $52 billion, compared to $88 
billion that September. That September figure itself came during a period 
widely characterized as a bear market. Exchange flow data tells a similar 
story: seven-day cumulative flows on Binance hit their lowest point since 
2024, based on data reported by analyst Arab Chain. Coinbase flows held 
relatively steady by comparison, suggesting longer-term holders are 
maintaining activity while shorter-term traders pull back. The trigger for 
Monday&#8217;s price action was a news report that US President Donald Trump had 
paused plans for military strikes on Iran&#8217;s energy infrastructure, citing 
diplomatic progress. Iran&#8217;s foreign ministry quickly denied that any such 
talks had taken place. BTC still rallied on the headline. Whale Activity 
Flashes An Unusual Signal One data point stands apart from the rest. A market 
analyst identified a record spike in what&#8217;s called whale inflow momentum — a 
measure of how fast large amounts of Bitcoin are being moved onto exchanges. 
The current reading of 74 is higher than any point in the past 11 years. The 
last time it exceeded this level was in 2015, when it hit 124. Related

whale inflows don&#8217;t automatically signal selling. But reports note the 
elevated pace points to aggressive capital rotation and hedging among large 
holders, which could make Bitcoin&#8217;s price more sensitive to short-term swings 
in the weeks ahead. For now, the rally stalled around the $71,000 to $72,000 
range, with no clear indication that the demand needed to push meaningfully 
beyond it has arrived. Featured image from zoranm/Men&#8217;s Health, chart from
