Strategy bought 24,869 BTC for $2B last week. Then BTC slid to $77k anyway. $672M in crypto liquidations hit as bond yields spiked. The biggest corporate buyer on earth can't hold the line right now. Today's key developments: • Strategy bought 24,869 BTC for $2B last week, pushing its total holdings above 4% of the entire Bitcoin supply. The company now holds more BTC than any entity on earth outside of Satoshi's estimated wallets. • $672M in crypto liquidations hit in a single session as Bitcoin briefly touched $76k. The trigger: rising bond yields and Trump's renewed Iran threats spooked risk assets across the board. • Standard Chartered projects $4T in tokenized assets by end-2028, with DeFi protocols named as the primary beneficiaries. Separately, the Bank of England and FCA launched a formal consultation on tokenized UK wholesale markets, and Standard Chartered moved to fully acquire its crypto custody subsidiary Zodia Custody. 📰 Read the full Daily Pulse: https://pulse.tokenmetrics.com/p/strategy-just-bought-2b-more-btc-market-sold-off-anyway-may-18-2026?utm_source=spreaker&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=daily_pulse_podcast 🔔 Subscribe for daily crypto market updates! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
