Tether’s massive $1 billion Bitcoin acquisition has ignited a fierce debate between cryptocurrency optimists and skeptics, with SwanDesk CEO Jacob King warning this could fuel the “largest bubble in history” while others see it as part of a broader institutional adoption trend. The controversy centers on whether Tether’s purchase of approximately 8,800 BTC represents genuine market growth or artificial inflation through money created “out of thin air,” highlighting deep divisions within the financial community about Bitcoin’s true value and the nature of institutional participation.

A long-dormant Bitcoin whale from the Satoshi era moved $9.6 billion worth of BTC, sparking fears of a market correction as large holders offload assets. The transfer coincides with the US Senate passing three major bills, including the GENIUS Act, which imposes audit requirements on stablecoins. Analysts speculate the whale’s sell-off may be linked to regulatory uncertainty, as the US government seeks stricter oversight of digital assets. This development highlights the growing tension between crypto market dynamics and evolving regulatory frameworks.

Vanadi Coffee, a struggling Spanish coffee chain, is attempting a dramatic financial turnaround by pivoting to Bitcoin. The company plans to allocate €1 billion (around $1.13 billion) into Bitcoin, a move that has already boosted its stock by 19.93%. Facing mounting losses—€3.3 million in 2024—and a 99% stock decline since its IPO, Vanadi hopes this Bitcoin-centric strategy will revive its fortunes. Chairman Salvador Martí is leading the charge, seeking shareholder approval for the investment and convertible financing deals. Critics, however, dismiss the move as a publicity stunt, citing Vanadi’s lack of Bitcoin holdings and minimal social media presence. The strategy mirrors MicroStrategy’s successful Bitcoin treasury playbook, but skeptics question its legitimacy.

As Bitcoin hovers 5% below its recent all-time high of $111,800, analyst Jacob King warns of a dramatic collapse to $10,000, calling BTC’s growth history a ‘staged illusion.’ King alleges deep market manipulation involving entities like Tether and figures such as Michael Saylor, suggesting institutional backing is fabricated. He points to El Salvador’s questionable Bitcoin reserves and claims stablecoins like USDT artificially prop up BTC’s value. With Bitcoin currently at $105,788 (down 3% weekly but up 52% YTD), King predicts a fragile ecosystem primed for collapse under regulatory scrutiny. This would mark Bitcoin’s first return to five-digit prices since 2019.

At the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor defended keeping the company’s BTC wallet addresses private, arguing that institutional investors should rely on corporate audits under U.S. laws rather than public blockchain transparency. Critics like Duo Nine and WhaleWire CEO Jacob King slammed the move, calling it a betrayal of Bitcoin’s transparency principles and comparing Saylor’s leveraged BTC strategy to Terra Luna’s collapse. Saylor dismissed proof-of-reserve practices as insecure, emphasizing compliance with Big Four audits and Sarbanes-Oxley. MicroStrategy holds 580,250 BTC ($63B) but has never disclosed its wallet, fueling skepticism about its reserves. The clash underscores broader tensions between traditional financial oversight and crypto’s open-ledger ethos.
